There are bumper stickers splattered on cars accross this country demanding that we end "The War". I saw one yesterday that stated "how can you be Pro-life and Pro-war?" I give it a two star stupid bumpersticker rating. It only earned one head shake and one eye roll. It takes… Read full post »

     She was an old woman. Her home smelled of mildew and garlic. Charlotte was pure humanity in an organic wrapping. She moved with grace and gentle waves of kindness and sincerity. Large plastic beads rested awkwardly on her breasts. They were beautiful only to a ten year old gi… Read full post »

     I am allergic to hair dye. My scalp itches and burns for days after applying the dye. There is also the joy of the small blisters that form on my hairline and god help me if I get any on my ears. My ear looks like something from a horror… Read full post »

1) I am completely and utterly terrified of heights! I once got stuck on my own roof for 5 hours because I refused to get down. My idiot ex-husband hoisted me up there, under great protest, to adjust the satellite dish. My home is a split level, so that section of… Read full post »

      Some people have ugly babies. There, I said it. I feel qualified to make this assessment because I have spent many hours sketching, drawing and painting their unattractive features. Before you get all in a huff over my statement, think about it. You know that you have b… Read full post »

     1974 was the year Patty Hearst disappeared, Richard Nixon resigned as our president, Joni Mitchell releases “Help me” and our nation faces global inflation rates that nearly cripple our economy. We are centered on oil and gas distribution and consumption. Music an… Read full post »

“Do you eat your own hair?”     

     This was question number 286 on my psychiatric evaluation. I had taken this test almost seven years ago. That question still rattles around in my brain like a ping pong ball thrown against a wall in an emp… Read full post »

     The poverty rate in our country has now been projected to have increased an additional one and a half percent. This begs the question in my mind, what is poverty in The United States?

     The international poverty line is income of $1.25 per da… Read full post »

     In all of my infinite wisdom and vast experience as a self professed know it all, I have stumbled upon another brilliant solution for American idiocy. A very dear friend and co-worker announced recently that his daughter is getting married. His eyes were bright and full of pr… Read full post »

     Is it that time of year again? Forgive me, I didn't notice. I had forgotten all about them. I haven't worn that itchy sweater adorned with our flag and yellow ribbon pin for a very long time. Why would I? Many of the children of the men and women who died that… Read full post »

The interests of the United States requires that our intercourse with other nations should be facilitated, by such provisions as will enable me to fulfill my duty in that respect, in the manner which circumstances may render most conducive to the public good.

I should have been happy to have thrown… Read full post »

      Do you ever read the titles to "news" or social issues and just wonder, what the crap could this possibly be about? I do. I have Yahoo as my homepage. I think that I keep it that way for entertainment value. I love these headlines and links to stupid videos… Read full post »

     You are thinking that I have lost my senses, aren't you. I have not. I will explain my opening statement and it's origin. I walk the streets of a hospital and college campus all day long. Many of the employers wit… Read full post »

     I know that some of you may call me out on this one, but this really is not just a big fish story. I had the opportunity of a lifetime or two this afternoon. So many of us have been debating religion, politics, the condition of our planet, science, big… Read full post »

     Dr. Laura's outburst is no longer front page news. She has gone off to the island of misfit toys. We batted her around a bit, chased her under the sofa and realized that the toy is not really worth digging out. There is a whole toybox lying in wait under… Read full post »

     I just read a post by Linda Seccaspina, and it sparked a thought process that, even for me, is a bit frightening. Frightening in a "oh, holy shit normal people don't come up with this crap!" kinda way. Her post is about death and carrying out one's final wishes. It… Read full post »

      “Did you hear all this stuff about the Muslims that wanna build a temple at Ground Zero? That is bullshit! They shouldn’t be allowed to do that, it’s disrespectful and they are rubbing it in our faces. It’s like one block away from where the towe… Read full post »

     I was driving along our shopping district yesterday, singing along to the radio. Why is it that we always sound better in the confines of our vehicles? Probably because there isn’t anyone there to beg you to stop making their ears bleed. So, there I am, singing a song t… Read full post »

     I cannot remember a time where a serious thought was generated in my mind by a radio dj. That happened today. I was driving my ususal mundane route to work, only half listening to the aimless chatter of the morning show dj. Then I heard him say, "So, about this… Read full post »

      Although I sit here, watching the letters dance through streaming tears, I have to indulge my social curiostities. I have shared many personal tales, both triumphant and tragic with those of you who stagger by to bask in the glory of my daytime drama life. Last evening,… Read full post »

      There are certain tasks that should be reserved for maximum security prisoners only. I mean stuff like cleaning out your refrigerator. I do not see why perfectly decent law abiding citizens should have to suffer the human indignity of tending to such a task. Yes, I just… Read full post »

     When we take a moment to see white as black and black as white, what is possible? What becomes of the grey? As I write this, I think of my life as a negative. Black becomes white. White becomes black.

     Who the hell writes a letter to their dead ex-husband? It seems as though I do. I have a few things to say to you, Sunny. Maybe more than  few. I can still smell the baking bread in Subway, the chalk dust in the local pool hall and the incese… Read full post »
