Was browsing through my news feed and heard about a dozen kids in a Texas high school football team ending up in the hospital... because of too many pushups. As in 400 FREAKING PUSHUPS!!! Teenagers. Takes a helluva lot of energy to do 10 GOOD pushups, and this coach wants teens--still growing teens--to do something … Continue reading Okay… sometimes you have a weird week, and then read something so stupidly beyond words you just can’t.
Yeah, the wallet-emptying monster has returned in force, and it's focused on my kitchen. In my defense, I was doing a deep clean and decided to move things around, and that's the necessary evil that started it all. I have plenty of cabinets in my kitchen, but they're generally skinny and deep. It makes it … Continue reading I know coffee makes me happy, but buying a ton of mugs was probably not the best thing for a depressive episode…
I had been up since 3am yesterday because after Dump returned to the White House from the hospital and promptly took his mask off, I was just livid and it wouldn't let me sleep. And then the pictures of him going around without a mask, and then making that "don't worry" video... Yeah, let's just … Continue reading I had to rein in my anger at Dump yesterday after the incomparable Beau reminded me of something…
Strange how I just realized the date's tomorrow. 19 years ago. I remember telling some folks back when Dump was running for office that I'm far more afraid of my neighbors than any foreign terrorist. That goes double these days. Not my immediate neighbors, perhaps, but the area in general. I live deep in Dump … Continue reading I’m more in fear for my country now than I EVER was during 9/11.
My Copy: 9780312626686 (image from bn.com) I'm not really sure how I feel about this book. The writing style is certainly different than other types of creative nonfiction I've read. As far as the information within, I had to remind myself many times that this book was written 20 years ago. I've seen this book … Continue reading Nickel and Dimed, or (Not) Getting By In America, by Barbara Ehrenreich
This was bugging me when I stumbled on a Ricky Gervais comedy snippet during lunch about dumb fairy tales. I love his attempts to figure out what's going on with the story. And of course as he tries to figure it out, all the other questions that have come to me over the years have … Continue reading Absurd Q#136: What the Hell was Humpty Dumpty supposed to be?
(photo from nymag.com) This has been bugging me for the past 24 hours. I mean--what the hell was THAT? Now, I admit, I'm no longer religious. The more I read the Bible, the angrier I get. I can't stand church and what it's become over the years for a lot of denominations and their followers. … Continue reading Blitz Q #133: What was the point of that Trump at Church photo op?
I was grabbing some things on my shopping list tonight (I plan to have a cooking, cleaning Christmas this year), and after freezing my butt off in the HUGE produce section, I went to the nearly-as big deli and "cheese shop" area. Cheese is tricky for me because I'm lactose intolerant, but in moderation I … Continue reading Q #118: What the hell are truffles (and I don’t mean the chocolate kind)?
Before I left work today, I decided to go full-throttle into looking for full-time jobs that would help me improve my skills and build my self-esteem (and be workable in the sense that I could plan around them far easier). I have this odd relationship with work. I'm growing to despise my job, though I … Continue reading #074–How do you get over the fear of losing your job?

I've never known any trouble that an hour's reading didn't assuage. Charles De Secondat (1689 - 1755)
