How relaxed would you like to be? I’d like to be so relaxed I could be in the same room with a spider without it freaking me out. Although my husband has repeatedly suggested I try aversion therapy, allowing spiders to crawl on me sounds like a “Survivor” episode I wouldn’t survive. My husband also […]
Let’s face it. We all love the Internet and its wealth of quick knowledge and information but it has also caused us all our fair share of misery.
Viruses have destroyed our hard drives, financial and sexual predators lay lurking in the shadows and everything else that could possibly be unpleasant is never more than […]
I hear it all the time. The people on twitter are twits, twittering tales of hairballs and haircuts. Bloggers have been moaning about the noise on twitter, and predicting the date the site will close down, yet twitter remains a powerful communications force in the online world.
I think it has something to do […]
“Rich Man, Poor Man” was a game I played as a child. The first button on my clothes was rich man - the second was poor man. Buttons three through eleven were beggar man, thief, doctor, lawyer, Indian chief, soldier, sailor, tinker, tailor. My last button foretold who I would marry. The game hasn’t changed, […]

If you have to travel but are easily bored, try […]
Sometimes Americans can have too much of a good thing - like artificial sweeteners. Pink packets of Sweet & Low turned iced tea into my drink of choice. Sweet & Low, however, contains saccharin, which can have a bitter taste, which opened the market to Equal in 1965. The blue packets of Equal contain aspartame, […]
They say lightening doesn’t strike twice, but no one would have said that to Virginia Park Ranger, Roy Sullivan. Between the years 1942 and 1977 he was struck by lightening seven times - once each in his ankle, his leg, his chest and his shoulder and three times in his head. Ranger Sullivan died in […]
I understand the principles of dieting - use up more calories than you take in or take in fewer calories. No seconds, don’t finish everything on your plate, chew every mouthful sixteen times - I know the rules. I just don’t follow them all the time. That’s why I’m thankful there aren’t calories in my […]
