Ignorance is Bliss
There are things in life I am better off not knowing. I don’t need to know the caloric count of a chocolate milk shake as I finish off the last of it. I don’t need to know the office gossip about me—or anyone else for that matter. In fact, I have always found I am much more satisfied with my job if...

Ignore It and It Will Go Away
I admit to being an insomniac. I may sleep for two or threes hours and be up for the next four. With a house full of people, and my brain functioning at the same wattage as the the night light in the nursery, surfing is about all I am good for. Here are some of the more interesting results for a...

Are You Bias?
I ran across an interesting set of tests meant to test your bias in ten different categories: Native American Gay/Straight Arab Muslims Weapons Black/White Skin Tone Asian Americans Age Gender Body Image As I have always fought an urge to consider men the evil spawn of satan here to cause migranes,...

The Problem with Comments
The real problem with comments is not the off-the-topic back and forth, or the ongoing debates that seem to not only cross topics but cross blogs. No, the real problem with leaving information in comments is you can't find it again later. But other bloggers are facing different problems. Some of the...

The Matrix is Now
In some ways, we are living The Matrix now. Instead of sitting down in front of the TV as we might have 15 years ago, we come home to jump on the computer. We feed the growth of the internet with our interest and constant searching for more interesting, innovative websites, and the internet—or those...

I Don't Play Well With Others
Over the years, I have been accused of not playing well with others. For a long time, I tried to overcome that shortfall; then one day, I stopped. They were right. I don’t play well with others, and most of the time, I am ok with that. If I see someone breaking into a car on the street, I call the...

Time to lighten things up
Let's see, what can I write about that is safe? Courtesy? Nope. That won't work. History is out. Jemmie's idea of cold weather? Nope. That has been done. I know! How about Colby, my six month old? That should be safe. Colby is rolling now. Not crawling, rolling. He has always had an aversion to...

Apology to okohiored - REMOVED
I won't have my heartfelt regrets used against me. I do apologize to those who read my comments on his blog and were upset by them. As MollyB metioned in her blog, this was the wrong forum. Afraid I didn't think of taking it off the board. I assure you, I will not repeat my mistake.

Starring Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus
The deep gravel voice, the shaved head, the undying belief in his cause, Laurence Fishburne is Morpheus. He acted for more than 25 years before he was given the role of Morpheus, and for 25 years, I had no clue who he was, though I have seen several movies that he was in. But now, after the...

Writing Advice Caution
Before accepting writing advice from anyone, find out their credentials. My husband can give terrific business writing advice, but his knowledge of fiction consists of reading Baby Blues in the bathroom. Even, better, read several articles or books on the same subject and go with the concensus. You...
