Being Tailgated...grrrr
Posted November 17, 2011
I commute EARLY in the morning. This time of year, it's dark. The stars are out. You get the picture. So, I was on my way in this morning, almost here, and a car was behind me, jammping right up on my rear bumper. I was not driving at a snail's pace either. What made it worse is he had not only his lights illuminating the interior of my car, but 2 halogen fog lights on also.
Stroller Angst: Not a thing for crowded events
Posted August 28, 2011
Strollers...a Godsend to parents all over to let them take a load off and let their little sleepy Johnny or little Mary ride along while seeing the sights of a local event...great for the parents. Horrid for the rest of us. I remember an ice rink across the bay from me - they actually SUPPLIED STROLLERS FOR USE ON THE ICE. I kid you not...today's event was an annual flea market where an entire district of my hometown becomes a block sale.

So I was out at yard sales today, being a Saturday, and that's how I start my Saturdays - I don't do research, I just follow the signs. So I came upon what looked like a very promising one...until I got out of my car...
Walmart Line Cutters
Posted February 21, 2011
It's a given that going to Walmart can be an experience - almost like a visit to a different world. As the popular site, PeopleOfWalmart.com, it can be a visual experience. Or a downright frustrating one as I had tonight.
Youth today vs. yesterday
Posted February 7, 2011
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... Barefoot... BOTH ways...yadda, yadda, yadda
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
