When I was growing up, pregnant teenagers went to a place called the Florence Crittenden home and had their babies in utter quiet and as much secrecy as possible. The babies were then adopted out and the girls returned to school with their missing months attributed to some vague illness. No one, not even the Catholic school girl I was at the time, was fooled.
It’s nice to be beyond those days of utter shame and secrecy when the teenager got little to no support for the emotional devastation the situation created.
But I do think we’ve perhaps gone a
Glen Beck…. Harry Potter villain?
Am I really the only person who thinks Glen Beck could play the evil villain in Harry Potter without missing a beat?
Some days
Some days you just need a smile mixed with a little drool to put all the brouhaha of a political election into perspective. I’d vote for Joey for President any day.
Hmmmmm
Given how slow my sex life has been for the past decade or so, I might have to start traveling more and opting for the pat down.
What do Joe Miller and bedbugs have in common?
America’s bedbug invasion has rapidly spread from New York City to Alaska. I can’t help but be suspicious as to how these critters have suddenly staged such a dramatic recurrence in our lives. Perhaps some mad scientist decided than rather than eliminate us all with some super Ebola virus released into a crowded subway station, he’d just ick us to death with bedbugs.
I find myself reluctant to go to a movie or stay in a hotel or take a plane trip for fear there will be bedbugs around who will follow me home. It only makes sense given that
Must Be Alert for the Monster that sucks!
I sweep around my birds’ cages twice a day, not because I like sweeping but because of the unfortunate correlation between the number of birds that you have and the amount of bird seed that is scattered across your floor every day. Since I have enough pets without adding field mice enjoying the bird diet on the floor, I am fanatical about doing this chore.
My two dogs, lord love them, have not in all their years living here gotten used to this. So every time I turn the sweeper on, they go on alert. These two old girls stand
The thing about Cher
The thing about Cher is that she was young when I was young. And now that I’m old… she’s still young, albeit in a weird and frozen version of her young self. And god help me, but I look at her and think that would take so much more time and energy than I would ever be willing to put into it.
Just when you thought reality TV could get no worse….
Along comes a show called Brideoplasty in which brides to be compete to win plastic surgery before the wedding. OMG! Take me. Take me now! I do not want to live on a planet that would green light this show for TV. And I certainly don’t want to hang around long enough to see it actually attract viewers.
Really, Joe?
If Miller couldn’t get elected and THEN take away our 17th amendment right to vote directly for our senator, he will now try to do it from his un-elected position by disenfranchising every voter he can. What a guy!
I’m waiting
Isn’t it about time that someone resurrects mashed potatoes by finding out they have some magical healthy power and hidden nutritional benefits that outweigh the butter and sour cream?
