Saturday Meme

Saturday, February 28th, 2009

My TacoFrogFriend e-mailed me one of those “getting to know you” quizzes. It occurs to me it makes for a nice meme. So play along if you feel like it!
Where is your cell phone? In my purse- it should really be plugged in getting charged
Your hair?  Still brown, now with added white peeking in everywhere
Your favorite [...]

Liver Night

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

I don’t think I’m going to watch the current season of “Hell’s Kitchen” after last week. What a bunch of doofuses (doofi ???) they’ve got this time around. One of Life’s Lessons that Gordon tries to instill in the aspiring chefs is that, unless you’re a vegetarian, there’s a process where an animal becomes “food” [...]

Red State Update

No, not the one on YouTube- although I like Jackie and Dunlap.
Our governor, Martin O’Malley is on the front page of the Baltimore Sun today. He’s leading a drive to ban the death penalty in Maryland. He’s not the first governor to want a ban. In 2002, Parris Glendening, the gov before last (Ehrlich) declared [...]

This guy must be in hiding!
I love the TV show Wife Swap. Never hurts to get the perspective of other people. Certainly now and then I’ll see how other people do things and decide it might work for me too. WS tends to do a lot of rich city mouse/ poor country mouse stories.
There’s a [...]

“Why not come and chat with me,” said the Grasshopper, “instead of toiling and moiling in [...]

Cultural tightrope….

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

I used to work as a secretary in an office in a small town. Right downtown. You get to know the street people. I’ve noticed two categories- the substance abusers and the mentally ill. Since the 60s, when mental patients were turned out of hospitals in droves, if their families can’t get them home and [...]

Foiled again!

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

According to their bill, today is the schedule Meter Reader day for the electric company. I’d anticipated it, and was all ready to secure the dog door so the reader could come into the yard. Usually he comes anytime between 9 and 1; time to let the dogs out to have their constitution, then keep [...]

February Thaw!

Monday, February 9th, 2009

Hi. Last week I felt overwhelmed by grim economic news, combined with some bitterly cold weather. We got some ice, not like Kentucky for sure, but oh I hate ice! The good news is, it’s all gone now. It reached 62 degrees Saturday. I opened the back door and little sage Vera spent a lot [...]
