Do You Know Where Liars Go? Jackson Hole, Wyoming!

It's taken me several worthy attempts at lying to realize that A) I will always get caught, and B) I'm no good at it. When I was seventeen I had a steady boyfriend. Kinney was a year or so older and had already graduated from High School. During the days he worked on a ranch as a handyman, with... Sign in to see full entry.

You Can Call Me Grandma; Just Don't Call Me Stupid.

"Mom, you drive like a Grandma!" Well, my children...there's a reason for that. First of all, NO ONE should have their driver's license at age fourteen, which was the age you could get one in the state in which I was living. Fourteen is way too young. Oh, yes, I know that the agricultural community... Sign in to see full entry.

God and Sweet Corn

ExMan and I had an on-going dispute for years about the nature of God and the way He answers prayers. ExMan thought that God didn't want to be bothered with the tiny little details of everything...that if you needed or wanted something that wasn't that big of a deal, you should just 'get it...

T-Shirts For Narcissists

This one goes out to my dear friend, "Mary-Annette", who is married to the famous Narcissist, Turk. She is struggling. She feels like an object, not a person to him. Which is typical of those that live with Narcissists; they only see themselves. People are for using, not for loving, after all.... Sign in to see full entry.

Fat Free, Fat Free, Fat Free

It's like stepping into Another World. Size Two models with tons of hair and chiseled features cross the threshold, one by one, of the designated--- and perfectly decorated--- residence, with platters three times the size of their entire upper bodies, laden with scrumptious looking morsels. Even... Sign in to see full entry.

The Beauty Queen

This one may not be for the weak of heart... or stomach. Fair warning.... Last year in September, I was doing some 'angry cleaning' for my cleaning business. Someone at my place of residence had cheesed me off, and there was no way I'd be able to sleep, so I wanted to put all of the energy that was... Sign in to see full entry.

Mother Would Not Approve

When I first met my friend, Nan, I was amused right away. She is a literate type, like me, and knows how to put words together into a sentence, in such a way that adds to the sarcasm, or humor, or bite; whatever the case may be. She also had the gift of writing, and would write me little quips here... Sign in to see full entry.

"Make Him STOP!"

My sister Lauren is not a 'kid' person. As fate would have it, she never had one of her own. Somehow I could have never pictured her with a stroller and a diaper bag in tow, accompanied by a crying infant. When I first had my TJ, she was happy to bounce him on her knee for a moment or two. He was a... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunday Afternoon Bed Jumpers

Lee Anderson was tall, blonde, and very pretty. She and her husband, Steve, were sweet to observe at church; they seemed very absorbed with each other. Then I found out why. They were newlyweds. They didn't look like newlyweds; they had two little girls, ages nine and seven. But they'd only been... Sign in to see full entry.

Funky Chickens

I have a little Texan friend named Penny. Nothing amuses me more than to hear her tell a tale, or to listen to her rant when she gets all riled up about something...it's just plain funny. I've known Penny for a while...we'd been neighbors in the town I live in now, when we first moved there, eleven... Sign in to see full entry.
