It’s that time again folks…yup, I’ve got a rant & it’s a doozy. This rant has nothing to do specifically with bras so you can relax. I’m not going to discuss my cleavage today. However, I am going to talk about women, their bodies & what the hell is wrong with people! Mom called me […]
Continue Reading → Today we headed for my sister-in-law Anne’s house. She’s busy being a single mom right now as my brother-in-law Pete is off at boot camp. With a 3 1/2 yr old & a 7 month old (both very active boys) she has her hands full. The last couple weeks have been particularly trying as they […]
Continue Reading → Every August of my childhood my extended family met in Hole in the Mountain park in Lake Benton, MN.

I was all set to receive my copy of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales (Penguin classics edition) today. It was not to be however. With a combination of incredible incompetence, […]
This particular issue has been brewing into a full-fledged rant for several days after a conversation I had with Mom about my youngest brother.

Continue Reading → The events in this post took place between December 2007 & January 2008. I’ve written a little update at the end. December 26th I went to the local clinic complaining of extreme abdominal pain. I was ushered into a doctor’s office where the nurse checked my vitals & I waited for the doctor. The doctor […]
Continue Reading → One of my co-workers has a step-daughter who is currently pregnant. She’s six months along & has been having a good pregnancy in spite of some pretty rough “morning sickness”. She’s had a couple ultrasounds by this point & the doctor was having a hard time getting a picture of the little guy’s heart. It […]
Continue Reading → As an obsessive user of Twitter (when left to my own devices…Hubby went camping) I spent many hours following conversations & participating in one which could lead to the election of a very different administration in 2012. Rather than explain the events I shall let you my dear reader witness history in action. (A quick […]

I got the receipt for the box rental, the new Reader’s Digest and this: (Do read closely because it contains very important info….) That’s right I got a free offer to give myself another risk factor for heart disease, high blood pressure, […]
