Ok. I have been trying to stay above the fray with all the batshitcrazynuttywingers on the right. I mean, I don’t need the stress. I really don’t. However, I just snapped today. It was over at BJ, of course, and it was a thread on health care. One idiot was tossing out one wingnut… Continue Reading
For Mah Fellahs
Now, I know that I have some male readers. I don’t want you to feel left out because I’ve been posting for mah ladies lately. To that end, I have a special post just for you today. Do you all feel flattered and special? Good. Let’s get started. As you know, I have been in… Continue Reading
The Only Thing to Fear
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of… Continue Reading
I Accept Your Challenge, Whabs
After my post yesterday on the reasons I never had children, I received an email from whabs, a frequent commentor of my blog and a great friend to boot. She delivered me a challenge: To go a week, yes 7 whole days, without fucking swearing. No, that wasn’t it. She’s the one who tagged an… Continue Reading
Childfree, and Loving It!
My mom’s birthday was yesterday. We celebrated, just the two of us, and then we went to my brother’s house today for a second round of celebration. My brother’s family was going to come to our house, but my niece got sick, so my brother decided it would be better if we went over there.… Continue Reading
She’s So Hot
Today, there was a shooting near Pittsburgh. I was gonna write about the rightwing, antisocial, white male gun nut who shot up an aerobics class full of women before allegedly killing himself and how even liberal guys seemed to sympathize with him to some extent, but I’m still too upset about it to be at… Continue Reading
House of Pain
All right. I have been reading my usual political blogs and watching my usual political shows. I’ve been trying to pare down, but I still want to keep up on what’s going on in the world. So, despite my loathing for the state of the traditional media, I allow myself to see clips and peeks… Continue Reading
How YOU Doin’?
I hate people en masse. This might be a surprise to the people who don’t know me in the real world, but my close friends are nodding their heads in agreement. They don’t worry if they don’t hear from me in days, weeks, months, years….I hole up in my house and don’t poke out… Continue Reading
A Tale of Two Nights
Last night, I had a choice. I was invited to two events, and while I could have gone to both, that’s not how I roll. I am an introvert by nature, so it’s rare that I go to one big event, let alone two. First up was my 20th high school reunion. I didn’t go… Continue Reading
President Minna Hong’s Platform
Shoes. Platform shoes. I love ’em. They give me a few inches of height without being as dangerous for me as stilettos. They give me the wiggle without endangering my running ability. They add sass to my walk and a touch of jaunt to my jiggle. Oh, shit. Sorry. That was a pleasant digression, but… Continue Reading
