I have things to say and this is where I'll say them.

Speaking of Getting Old… Mick Jagger

Mick Jagger will be 69 years old this summer.  Really, I can hardly believe it.  Mick and the Rolling Stones have been around for 50 years.  50 YEARS!  It makes me feel proud that the musicians that I listened to in high school are still rocking and rolling. I’ve never considered Mick a handsome man [...]

I Miss Duck and Goose

Ever since we moved into this house, there have been a pure white duck and a pure white goose that lived in the pond/creek behind our house.  It was so nice to look out our back windows and see them waddling around, Duck always trailing behind Goose.  Those two were never apart.  We found out [...]

Goodbye Davy Jones

I was a fan of the Monkees in the 1960s when they first came out and I remain a fan to this day.  That makes me also a fan of Davy Jones, who died of a heart attack at age 66 this week.  He wasn’t a teen heartthrob for me like he was for so [...]

Only in My World…

Only in my world would this statement be part of a normal conversation:   “like when your baby’s head pops off it’s body when you’re watching tv. “

I Still Love Ray Stevens

This guy has been making great songs since I was a teenager.

National Taco Day?

I had no idea that there’s a National Taco Day.  On behalf of my niece, Rachel, I’d like to know if there’s a National Enchilada Day, too.

It’s Raining!!

As I’m writing this, it’s been raining steadily for about three hours.  What a wonderful sight and sound!  I love when it rains anyway, but even more so after this terrible hot and dry summer.  We didn’t break the record for the most 100+ degree days in a row, but we did break the 1980 [...]

Alphabetical Keyboards

While searching for a left-handed keyboard for Hubby, I found something that is either new or it’s been hiding from me.  This is an alphabetical keyboard.  Instead of being in the QWERTY format that formally educated typists (like me) use, this keyboard arranges the keys in alphabetical order, which is perfect for hunt-and-peckers. The target [...]

Mediocre Service

Hubby and I were dining at one of our favorite restaurants recently and I decided to try something new and different. I watch Hell’s Kitchen and Master Chef and they often use salmon in their fancy dishes. I realized that the only salmon I’ve had came from a can and was formed into patties. So, [...]

Email Etiquette

The information in this article about Email Etiquette is targeted primarily at professional working people.  But it holds true for personal correspondence and general manners when posting anywhere on the Internet.  I’ve got some new readers from Carl and Pam’s Sims 3 Forum (welcome guys!) and they might better understand some of the rules of [...]
