My son set up a website for formal, casual and wedding dresses. I know he has made at least one sale. Tonight he needed to borrow my debit card to make sure he didn't lose his website and have to start all over again. He keyed in the card but they refused to take it without a picture of my ID with...

humbling
I received this in an email today from Loki Ong. I thought it was very uplifting and wanted to share with my fellow bloggers. A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors who have been a good... Sign in to see full entry.

A priest broke my nose!
My joke about the priest reminded me of an event that happened to me in high school My best friend invited me to a church youth group outing. We went to the swimming pool. Their parish priest went with us. We played keep away with a beach ball. I dove under the water with the ball. I popped up and... Sign in to see full entry.
new scam
There's a new scam out there. Check your receipts every time you pay with credit or debit card. If you don't it could wind up costing you money.

Ciel asks what is our youngest memory we have. I was still crawling and I don't remember a lot of the facts. I do remember my Lebanese grandmother walking toward the screen door.

Mardi Gras
No, I didn't go to the parade. It was cold and windy. I've been to them in New Orleans as well as here in St. Louis. They are fun but I am just not that interested in being around a large group of people whose sole interest is seeing how fast they can become six sheets to the wind. Nor do I care to...

Mardi Gras
Revelers line the streets Straining at the ropes Holding them back Standing on rooftops Sitting on balconies All hoping to catch beads Gold, green and purple Different shapes and lengths Flashes of flesh hoping to garner favor Red Hurricanes Citrus Cyclones Gentle breeze carrying cajun spices...
