The Day The Roof Came Down

I need to go some place, but I'm not in the mood and the noise of the workers is driving me batty. I don't know how many are up there pounding with their hammers, but it sounds like a whole slew rat-a-tat-tat-ing, not counting the noise of the metal ladder as workers are continuously carrying up and...

Here I Come To Save The Day

Justi really played a trick on me. I believed what she said on Oct. 4 about the time change, and failed to check out the validity of it. So, yesterday I had Son #1 change all the clocks to be an hour earlier than they are supposed to be. He didn't check it out either and just changed them all (Fall... Sign in to see full entry.

Power To Repel

"Once it reaches three months, the cheese produces its notorious smell because the bacterium used to ferment Limburger cheese.....is Brevibacterium linens, the same one found on human skin that is partially responsible for body odor and particularly foot odor." ~wikipedia Son #1 loves Limburger...

What A Way To Make Money!

A one-ton pumpkin brought a Rhode Island man $5,500 for first place in the world record pumpkinfest and another $10,000 as a bonus for breaking the one-ton mark. But, the most lucrative part of the whole thing just might be in his plan to sell that prize-winning pumpkin's seeds for $300 apiece. Of... Sign in to see full entry.

My Mother's Influence

I just love the beautiful print cotton fabric dresses that Mma Ramotswe, #1 Lady Detective of Botswana ( Alexander McCall Smith books ) wears. I would like ten or twenty different ones for myself. I would even love wearing the head gear, but when one has fine, limp silver hair, it just doesn't give... Sign in to see full entry.

Pulsing Red

I've always wanted to write an award-winning play. I never had the nerve to try. But I do love reading a good play, or watching one. One of my favorite playwrights was Tennessee Williams. He really came up with some fascinating stuff....like Streetcar Named Desire, Sweet Bird of Youth, The Rose... Sign in to see full entry.

One Of My All-Time Favorite Movies

Yesterday I did one of those things where I spent a whole lot of time and brain energy preparing a post for this blog, and making it be just what i wanted it to be. Then it disappeared into the Ethernet. I was very disgusted with myself because I just insist on doing my posts live and that is what I... Sign in to see full entry.

Desert Dessert

Every once in a while throughout my lifetime I have run across a couple of people playing a game to pass time, or to gamble, or for an alternative method of choosing rather than rolling dice. The official name of the Asian-origin game is Roshambo, but mostly it is known as Rock-Paper-Scissors. When... Sign in to see full entry.
