Sleeping on the Edge

Thursday, January 8th, 2009

Is this a common affliction?  Consumer Man was back on the island for a couple days and his first night back kept me on edge.  Literally.  I’m sure you’ve all seen drivers who like to take their half out of the middle of the road.  Consumer Man was doing that with his half of the […]

Tom Turkey Treats

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

Oh, my.  The aromas of Thanksgiving have filled my kitchen and are escaping into every nook and cranny.  Consumer Man and I had an early Thanksgiving as he had to return to his job on the east coast today.  Of course, we had some of the traditional dishes including the turkey, corn bread casserole and […]

Fear Not

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

We are about to enter an unsettling time in our nation.  I think these verses are appropriate as to what our actions should be.  It’s a good time to get our spiritual houses in order as well as our finances. For waywardness kills the simple, and the complacency of fools destroys them; but those who […]

Why the World Series?

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

I just read a New York Times breaking news release about the World Series.  The Tampa Bay Rays did not win, but heck, they actually made it to the series.  That’s a good thing.  But that’s not the thing that puzzles me.  Why do they call these games the World Series?  The world has nothing […]

Mean Mommy

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Today we have another flybaby guest article.  Nova keeps us on our toes with her humor.  Like Nova, I, too, have an aversion to grocery shopping. “We’re out of food”   My family is convinced we are out of food.  Really!!!??  I went shopping on the first of the month, how can we be out […]

Apple Bread

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

This is another one of my “I don’t have a clue as to where I got it” recipes.  I may not remember it’s origins, but I certainly do remember how good it tastes, especially on a chilly October day in Indiana. APPLE BREAD 1 cup salad oil 2 cups diced, peeled apples 1 cup chopped […]

Burning Down the House

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

I just saw this video link at the Wastrel Show and wanted to share it with you.   Apparently it’s making it’s way around the Internet.

Free DSL

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

I read an article in PC World that states Verizon is giving a free six months DSL Internet access.  This is for people who are Verizon telephone customers who sign up for a one year contract.  After the six months, it will then revert to it’s $19.99 monthly fee.  Unless, that is, you want the […]

Will Fay Fizzle?

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

It appears that Fay may fizzle out, or not.  Now that the storm is becoming Boomerang Fay, my area may once again be threatened.  Evacuation was lifted Tuesday morning, but I decided to stay in my retreat until this morning.  I needed some physical and mental recovery time.  I’m now home, but depending on where […]

Racist Olympic Athletes

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008

First we have a swimmer exposing himself during his victory celebration of sorts.  Now it’s Spain’s NBA team posing for an advertising photo as they make fun of Asians. You can read more about it here, here and here. We also have the perfect little girl with the perfect voice serenading us in the opening ceremonies.  But she […]
