Laughing Star by cindy47452, on Flickr Have you listened to a late night show and throughout the entire show found there was someone out in the audience whose laugh was shrill, or loud, or just annoying?  There’s some woman on Craig Ferguson tonight that just won’t stop with this annoying “weeeeaaaaaahhhhhh woooo” noise.  Makes […]

In listening to this evening’s news, there was a piece about “lawmakers addressing the increasing rise in gas prices.”  My ears perked up and I got sidetracked from writing my scathing letter to the camp we were going to send the Pie Dudes to but after a series of very misfortunate events, pulled out before […]

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 […]

As for that much, I’m unable to add pictures to […]

I’m a big Big Brother … watcher. I wouldn’t say “fan,” though. It all has to do with that whole psychological aspect, but that’s another issue altogether.

I’ve watched BB9 from start to finish and like many other watchers, found it hard to favor one house guest over the other. It […]

Remember that wave of warnings that came out about a year (shoot, maybe even longer than that) ago to register cell phones along with home phone numbers on the Do-Not-Call National Registry? People were worried about receiving marketing calls on their cell and having to pay for the calls because of their cell phone […]

I was doing a bit of digging. Rumor has it the editor of the local rag is leaving. I’m vexed with that news, but that’s a different story. As usual, I wound up reading something else that struck a chord with me.
