https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl/I don't know how deep this will be or how inspiring, but I can promise entertainment...at least that's what people tell me when I write things. You see, I'm a writer. When I write emails and letters, the aim isn't to entertain...but it seems to work out that way. I sure hope you'll drop by and leave comments when you relate to something that's here. The thing about the human condition is we all share it. I'll write about my dog. Many of you have one. There are the two kids. Ditto for you? Crazy relatives---Uncle Henry who you let out of the closet only when all uniniated guests leave? I think you're going to relate to something, and others will relate to whatever your take on something is. Please share.hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl/461481What's Your Type? I'm an INFP/Healer Category: Life Myers-Briggs-Jung I've taken the standard Myers-Briggs (Jung) indicator test twice in my life, twenty years apart, and a more detailed version recently. Surprisingly or not, the results were pretty similar, and pretty spot on for me. I'm...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl/457887Those who know me in real life know about my fear of clowns. I don't like their shady smug demon smiles, their little bikes, and I hate balloons most of all. Conversely, I love my brother, the clown. Go figure. He's a kook. He turns 40 this year, and we're still waiting for him to stop...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl/447008Most of what I write in this blog has to do with what is going on in my life, to keep it separate from the news blogs I write. It gives me a chance to rant, and to catch up with my friends on Blogit. As this is about how I live personally, the inspiration needs to be here as well. For most of my...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl/424469I had to put this in the Nut House blog because it seems a little more than nutty to me. Maybe it's a good idea in that it allows people to vent which will take away subsequent road rage. Beyond that? You tell me. PlateWire.com allows you to post comments on drivers. You can wink and flirt with...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl/421183I will make this longer later. Here's the gist of it. I went on a sort of date tonight. Midway through I had some terror pangs. I guess that's normal. He's normal, gentlemanly, smart beyond reason, etc. Why do I wait for the other shoe to drop. Is this something you keep working through or will...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl/419226I've been on the hunt for the big job. I keep getting RIGHT THERE. This last time I was told I HAD it. Then the woman said: "We don't generally get people with your credentials coming through the door." I sucked in. I have been hearing versions of that line all during this. Usually it...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl/412918I've been trying to steer clear of the legal/divorce stuff as a main topic here---and luckily, my life has been crappy enough recently that I've had other topics. I'M JUST KIDDING. It has been pretty crappy, but other people can say the same and worse, so it's all pretty relative, right? In about...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl/411866This is probably an emotional rant that I may cut short just because I'm not sure I'll get through it. Please, please, just ignore me if it's boring. I went to the local pound and brought home a dog during my first marriage when all hell was breaking loose. He jumped in the back of my truck like...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl/410977I had something happen tonight that caught me very off guard. As I normally do with things that really hurt me, I shelved it, then started doing something outside the norm just to take my mind off of it. The idea is that I'll clear my head and revisit it to see if I still feel the same way. Well,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl/409857I was married into a family of extreme right wing fundamentalists for more than 20 years. It wasn't a religious thing, so much as a political thing, very cultish. I heard repeatedly that if you paid taxes you would go to hell. I kept my maiden name and filed separately. This family was among the...
