It’s only a name

I recently heard a story about a father nagging to his son and daughter-in-law for a grandson…yes, someone to carry on the name. He has other grandsons but on his daughter’s side so they will have a different last name…that is not good enough for him. I’m sure this happens a lot, not only wanting [...]

I’ll get you my pretty

When I was little The Wizard of Oz was the epitome of all movies in my eyes. It was shown only once a year which made it that much more special and when that day arrived it was almost as good as Christmas. That whole day leading up to the movie I could hardly contain [...]

Manfriend?

In an earlier post I had written about needing a new word for “stepmom”…I found another word, “boyfriend”. I have been dating a man for 5+ years, I’m over 40 and we live together. When I refer to him as my “boyfriend” I feel like I’m a teenager. My boyfriend (I even don’t like typing [...]

Text Addicts

Pretty soon there will be a new question asked when applying for medical insurance, after “do you smoke”…”do you text”. Seems like emergency rooms have daily visitors from texting according to James Adams, Northwestern’s chairman of emergency medicine. He says texters are more prone to facial injuries; they just don’t pay attention to where they [...]

Does anyone remember this?

This is only a test

Yesterday I sent someone an email at work with the word “lesbian” in it: the recipient never received it. Instead he got an email from the postmaster stating- Reason: content policy violation     Action: quarantine I was surprised; it was a very innocent sentence. Then I was curious so we did a little test. I [...]

KAPOW!

Usually when someone has a different opinion then me it’s no big deal, everyone varies on their thoughts. But then there are times when everyone seems to like something and I start second guessing myself…what did I miss? This happened when I saw The Dark Knight…everyone is raving about it saying how great it is. [...]

Prius Parking?

Now, next to the handicap parking they have “hybrid parking”…in this particular lot 2 stalls were designated for the green cars. As much as I believe people have to stop buying SUV’s and change their ways I was quite annoyed with these primo hybrid spaces. I would love to own a hybrid, but at this particular [...]

There she is

Question: Who has it easier in life, men or women? Answer: “God made us to share and have differences. Men think that the faster way to go to a point is to go straight. Women know that the faster way to go to a point is to go to the curves”.   Yes, that is [...]

Oddly enough

I never understood when people would say “you’re wasting your money playing the lottery”. They (whoever “they” are) say the odds of winning a single state lottery are about 1 in 18,000,000. BUT…it seems like someone wins every week so why can’t that person possibly be me? They also say the odds of becoming president [...]
