I’m typing this on my husband’s computer, as mine has sadly gone the way of all things.
In fairness, the deceased was an 8 year-old Dell I had inherited from Bob, full of his crap, er, very important files and programs. I filled up some of the spaces that remained and have been using it, watching [...]

The lowly sweet potato may unlock America’s past
How the root vegetable found it’s way across the Pacific
I get incensed. I came across this gem on the TIMES ONLINE and had to vent.
Do they not have competent copyeditors?
Is this so bloody difficult?
Apparently, to some.
Feh!
So I emailed the editorial desk:
Dear Times Online:
I am writing this [...]

Two evenings ago, Bob helped me spread some goopy crap on my face to induce a peel.
Yeah, vanity has set in and I wanted to do some nuclear exfoliation for younger, more youthful-looking skin.
Initially, it felt like I’d been bitch slapped by a loofah.
Now, however, I am doing a cunning impression of a tunnel snake.
My [...]

I’ve been negelctful.
While Mrs. Chili, having managed to spectacularly throw out her back (I keep talking to her about recyling, but does she listen?), manages to keep up her dedication to daily blogging for, what, over a year and going, I got waylaid by a pain in the butt.
But it was a doozy.
Not only [...]

I got complacent.
Last year, when my bitch went into season (if I were a breeder, I would have little issue with that word. As I am not, I cannot type that without cringing a tiny bit), my older male dog went completely nose-over-tail mental. He growled at my daughters, nipped friends, bit my [...]

Yesterday, I somewhat facetiously stated that I gave myself a week before I got sick. Sometimes, I should just shut up. My daughter and I are sick together today.
At 4 AM, I awoke with a sore throat and a runny nose; hello acute viral nasophyrngitis, you unwelcome menace. Did you know, [...]

For whatever reason, my eyes are decidedly unhappy when I am confronted with black and white stripes, and the narrower they are, the worse I feel.
Probably the most accurate description of my reaction to this visual barrage is nausea and an immediate impulse to avert my eyes. So that said, for the life of me, [...]

Sitting here, I am considering the variety of things I will write about for this upcoming NaBloPoMo marathon that, hello!, starts tomorrow. Ideas have been swirling and I am tremendously excited.. However, what’s been on mind MOST lately?
My butt.
A friend of ours in Ottawa actually fractured her tailbone and was virtually incapacitated for nearly [...]

As an English teacher, I am employed to help my community technical college students navigate through the tricky waters of English grammar so that their professional writing is clear, concise and correct. I have two sections of the basic English class this semester and these two groups are about as alike as a kumquat [...]

Sometime last March, my in laws and the four of us sat down to a family powwow where we all laid our grievances on the table and resolved to communicate directly. Bob’s parents had spent the previous months inexplicably not talking to us and we decided to have it out with them. We aired [...]
