https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl304673/I'm changing this a bit. One of my long-term goals as a journalist has been to do George Plimpton sort of stuff. Basically, the idea would be to try this or that, then write about it. I've been doing that to a degree, and I plan to use this blog to further that. I'll be testing products, playing games, trying new things or writing about experiences as they happen,hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl304673/459606As long as the likes of the Baldwin brothers, the Arquettes, Hugh Grant and so many other others exist, I will never need therapy. I will always have these people to point to when I try to rationalize that, indeed, there is nothing wrong with me. "At least I've never done that!" I can say,...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl304673/457886I've never had to buy friends, especially furry ones. I bought a dog for someone else once but that's because he was intent on a specific breed. Beyond that, I'm always having furry things wander onto my property and staying. I believe in fate in a major way, particularly when it comes to...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl304673/446819Forward: I was sent the missive below as a bulletin at Myspace. I don't know who wrote this originally. It was sent to me by Dave (Skeebez) on my list. It was sent to him by Sherry on his list. I have to thank both of them for sharing, and can only say I wish I knew who the author is. Thanks both...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl304673/443824It would be insane to say that the best concerts I've been to have been the result of the great music being put out by the band. Concerts, like trips to the beach, are better left unplanned so you can take advantage of all of the wonderful individual moments that make up the event. I've been...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl304673/438489Baltimore tops the list on lots of things---all things seafood, the Preakness, and revitalization by way of the burgeoning growth of the Inner Harbor. Some of those lists aren’t the kind you want to get your name on, however. At one point or another we’ve been tops in teen pregnancy and syphilis....https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl304673/433318As most know, you can't buy that cold medication you've come to depend on without signing your grandmother out of the home and turning her over to the pharmacist. Nyquil is not Nyquil anymore. Someone needs to be held accountable for this. I'm just recovering from one of those long, icky...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl304673/423366Thursday, November 23, 2006 There are people in the world who believe 1)they will never succeed because of some outside force, 2)they can never overcome problems because the problems are too great and/or obscure to get through or 3)they are owed something, but the (infamous) man we've all heard...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl304673/421176Yep, it's late, and I'm using a keyboard again. Until it's outlawed, I'll continue to do it. On Myspace, I get a lot of bulletins that have the 25 questions about this or that. I often answer them for myself. I find them to be pretty introspective and a way to sort of get a handle on where I'm at...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl304673/413033We all know someone or some family who has hit a wall economically. Or we may have slammed into that wall ourselves. Most people find it debasing to ask for help. They equate asking for help with being helpless. I’ve been fortunate most of my adult life in that I’ve been in a position to help...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/terpgirl304673/410420This is sort of a rambling, chain of thought entry, so bear with me. It revolves around vacations/trips. Most of us take a vacation to get much needed rest--or for opposite reasons---to visit our family and friends we moved away from in the first place. The latter is infinitely more stressful...
