Gee, that was quite a long “momentary absence” now wasn’t it?  Kind of like back when I was an AOL 1.0 user and they’d notify members of a system shut-down in “X” number of minutes.  Only their time clocks were much different than the rest of the world’s.  It could be up to an hour […]

Hubby’s home today.  He said that when the smoke dissipated a bit, they found another fire that had been burning.  Approximately 2,500 acres have been burnt so far by that fire. Also, on the wire El Dorado county sheriffs are looking for information regarding a suspicious fire.  Apparently a vehicle was found at the bottom […]

A continuation of the thoughts posed [here]. Between the ages of 6 mos. and 10 years, our family packed up the station wagon and headed to Silver Lake State Park in Michigan.  But then in my eleventh year of life, our summer vacation plans took an abrupt turn - south.  We packed up our […]

Perish the thought! Early on in my career I interviewed radio personalities across the country.  The interviews were long and my ability to catch, then mimic, accents was quick.  During one interview with a woman from New Jersey, I was accused of making fun of her.  I quickly worked my charms and assured her […]

  My second favorite redhead, Catherine, blogged about this and immediately tears were streaming down my face.  I only watched this one video, it’s part 2 of a series, but for anyone who has kids (present, past, future) or you are a kid, this is a must see.  Be part of the change! […]

Z-dude: “Hurry up, Ry-Guy! Help me here!”

Ry-Guy: “Why? What do I care if we get that done or not? You were the one who was supposed to do it!”

Z-dude: (heavy sigh): “But don’t you want to go?”

Ry-Guy: “Go where?”

Z-dude: “To Applebees!”

Ry-Guy: “So what do you need me to […]

I’m with the firm belief Walt Disney hated kids. Conspiracy theorists will love me on this. I’ve come to conclude Disney was someone who understood the benefits of copyrights, trademarks and registered symbols. And he had a love affair with money. As for that much, I’m unable to add pictures to […]
