I would like to get some input from you all on this one.
In just a couple of weeks, I’ll be celebrating my blog’s first birthday, and in honor of this prestigious event, I’m thinking about changing my theme.
I’ve been using this one since Day One, and I chose it because I liked the way it […]

Well, I guess it’s about to come full circle.
I told you here about first finding out a few details in the case of the murder of Jessie Davis. Court TV Tru TV has been televising the capital murder trial of one Bobby L. Cutts, Jr., the father of Jessie’s unborn baby girl Chloe […]

Once again, my friend Stinkypaw has come up with an utterly useless, time-wasting online survey I simply couldn’t resist. There’s something very satisfying about staying so busy doing absolutely nothing!

You’re To Kill a Mockingbird!
by Harper Lee
Perceived as a revolutionary and groundbreaking person, you have changed the minds of many people. While questioning the […]

I’m sick and tired of not having a cell phone.
I lost the last phone I had last February when the radio station laid me off.  It was my phone, but when I was hired, the boss said he would transfer the contract to the station’s bill and pay for everything if I would agree to […]

Have you filed your income tax return yet?
I haven’t.  And for me, that’s highly unusual because I always had the payroll clerk withhold extra money so I knew I would qualify for a refund.  We call it Hoopie Christmas in these parts.
Anyway, since I lost my job last February, then collected unemployment until August, then […]

That’s how BJ and I both take our coffee. So too, it seems, does the bird.
BJ and Astro were in the recliner. The little Dickens was walking around, first on one shoulder, then on the other, then down to the belly, then back up to the neck, then — well, you get the […]

The older I get, the dumber I sometimes feel.
I’m fully convinced that we should allow the 14-year-olds to run the world, then take away the reigns of power when they no longer know everything.
On a slightly less cynical note, I do envy the kids who have grown up in the computer age. I’m the […]

I admit it: I’m addicted to those house flipping shows on TLC and HGTV, in large part because I am a frustrated flipper wannabe.
I’m always amazed at how clueless some of these people are. “I bought this house for $160,000. I plan on spending $15,000 and hope to sell for $345,000 in […]

I haven’t been sleeping well at all for the past several nights.
For about three nights in a row now, I’ve been having dreams — very vivid dreams — and they have not been pleasant.
The dreams have been about a friend and her husband getting a divorce.  As far as I can tell, they’re a happy […]

OK, I’m not sure I like this one nearly as much as the Scrabble name score, but here goes:

What Animal Were You In Your Past Life?

You were a cockroach. You were often misjudged, but you’ve been resourceful and its helped you even in today’s hostile world. Your ability to survive, persevere, and make the best […]
