Heard On The Radio Today--So Dumb It Made Me Laugh!

After my day from hell, I found anything the DJs on the "oldies" station said funny. And the traffic guy--flying above us all told a couple of really stupid jokes, but I actually let out a loud chuckle. Stress I suppose. What do you call a Pointer mixed with an Irish Setter? You get a dog who's... Sign in to see full entry.

The Ice Man Is Outside!

Errrr... make that the ice cream man! Though some people do say that in this neighborhood, the ice cream man is indeed the ICE man. He certainly comes around only once in a great while. This is the first time I've heard his truck in months! Sign in to see full entry.

New Blogger, Criminal, Got Me Thinking

Criminal, a newbie to Blogit, got me thinking in her post about her sister's non-blinking eyelids. When I was in undergraduate school and living in the dorms, I lived with a girl, L, who I'd known since kindergarten. Though I hung out with her a lot before college, for some reason I never had seen... Sign in to see full entry.

My Socks Smell Like . . . Pencils!?

A few months ago I ordered these colored and scented pencils from Levenger. When I received them, I realized that their scent was very strong--nearly overwhelming, in fact. Because I knew I'd be using them a lot and therefore had to keep them near my bed (I often write or color or draw in bed), I... Sign in to see full entry.

Does It "Get Your Goat" That I Haven't Answered Yet?

Okay, okay. The phrase "to get one's goat" originates from horse racing. Very often, horses were anxious and unnerved when in their stables at the races. The owners would put goats into the horses stalls to calm the horses down. Often, rival owners/riders would steal the goat from the stalls in... Sign in to see full entry.

Can I Ignore Myself?

Blogit has changed a lot since I joined up nearly 2 years ago. One of the features they added is the "Block List." This is where you can block another member from emailing you or leaving comments on your blogs. I first found out about this feature when msaries "accidentally" blocked me. She claimed...

Grrrrrrr . . . That Really Gets My Goat!!!

Yesterday (or was it the day before?) I emailed our Grammar Guru and asked her to please explain the difference between an "everyday" occurance and something that occurs "every day." I knew that she'd be way better at explain the difference clearly than would I since at the time I wrote her I was... Sign in to see full entry.
