I think the thermostat blew. Or maybe lightning did something

to my circuit breaker. I've got to call the guy to check it, because if it gets up in the 90s, it's gonna get mighty warm in here. It didn't run all day -- I thought it was just the mild weather. Only got up to 85 and started off cool in the morning. But now I see the thing's not working. No... Sign in to see full entry.

Lady or not, here I come

I remember myself at 20, 30, 40 -- even 50 years of age, hating war movies. I couldn't stand pointless "action" films filled with violence, guns, and loud men who drank too much and fought at the drop of a hat. And it seems there were always despicable things about rough drunks who punched their... Sign in to see full entry.

Trubble, oh-oh, trubble trubble trubble...

It's a cute little commercial, the tiny white dog worried about the security of the bone he'd buried... The vocal behind it is the perfect balance -- brings memory of old times when we went to breakfast with the gang after a night of dancing and joking and no doubt a sip or three of something...

Blogit Personals

Cricket I got an email from Cricket a few days ago. I've been wondering how she is and wishing to see her stuff on Blogit again. Seems to me her recovery's taking far too long, but based on her message, I'm hoping to read more about her barfly characters one of these soon days. Big hugs out to... Sign in to see full entry.

What's the first TV show you ever saw?

People of a certain age remember when TV first came to them. I had a conversation with a dear friend yesterday about how family life and society has changed over time. She asked if I remembered the first time I ever saw TV, what program it was. Hopalong Cassidy. A black and white cowboy movie, the... Sign in to see full entry.

Trial by TV

I've been watching this trial on TruTV the past couple of months. In Florida a toddler named Caylee Marie Anthony "went missing" in June and her absence wasn't reported for 31 days. This happened in mid-2008. The mother, Casey Marie Anthony, has been charged with first degree murder. The... Sign in to see full entry.

It's gone! Can't find it anywhere...

The writing bug has flown away, gone into hibernation. So I wait, twiddling my thumbs, staring at the ceiling as though I'll see an image there, an inspiration. I'm watching daytime TV for hidden messages, some new idea. (Silly rabbit, TV is for kids.) I water the plants, test the air temp, the... Sign in to see full entry.

Warning! New email scam shows the FBI as the sender

If you receive an email from the FBI about a new Nigerian scam involving an inheritance you should receive -- forward it immediately to your bank's fraud department. In the case of Bank of America, that would be abuse@bankofamerica.com. The crooks are using the FBI return email address to scare you... Sign in to see full entry.

Photos on Facebook...

Today's are a gift! There's one photo of my granddaughter Angela in her graduation robe, standing next to her proud husband and her 8-year-old son who's growing so fast he's almost up to her shoulders already. She's a beautiful girl, as pretty as her mother was but taller and with better bone... Sign in to see full entry.

The prediction

A man who counted himself as holier than most, who had a special connection to the powers that be, predicted the day and time that the world would end. He described the how and what, and that in His good time, the Messiah would arrive and catch up the faithful into his realm of peace and happiness.... Sign in to see full entry.
