They’re over

The Olympics have ended and we can now all go back to not having a friggin’ clue what and why synchronized swimming even exists without feeling any guilt about the need to cheer for team USA.

Fastest texter

A Wisconsin teenager has won a world wide competition to claim the title of fastest texter. He practiced by sending up to 500 texts a day to friends and family.

Is it just me or does this kid sound like he would be the most annoying teenager in the world to befriend?

Yes, folks, in a world in which we’ve seen our youth try to swallow the most goldfish and see how many people they could stuff into a phone booth (anyone under 18, go ask your parents what a phone booth was), this is the contest that most causes

You really need a reason to not do this?

There was an article online recently about why it is not a good idea to post naked photos of yourself online. Really? That isn’t self-explanatory? Just saying it doesn’t sound bad enough? You actually need to read a whole article to find out why this is not a good move?  OMG. Civilization as we would wish it to be has truly ended.

He sounds just like a girl

When asked what he bought while in a hardware store, Mitt responded, “Hardware stuff.” Sounds just like a girl sent to the hardware store with a list from her daddy that makes no sense to her whatsoever. And give me a break with the grocery shopping. No one with as much money as Mitt has does his own grocery shopping. Does his campaign staff really think we are all that stupid?

Bristol’s a bad parent?

But Levi – Mr. “I don’t have any money to support my first child and sure as hell don’t plan to support my second one” – is?

Someone needs to ask social services to step in and take this baby away from the whole, friggin’ insanity that is the Palin family and give him a chance. We didn’t do it for Michael Jackson’s kids but we have a chance to correct that wrong and do it now for Tripp and his soon to be sibling. C’mon folks. Let’s get this one right.

My chimney and Stellar Jays

Well, had another exciting morning. Stellar Jay ended up down my chimney. Dogs got hysterical trying to get through the glass doors to the fireplace. Parrots screeching as though I’d let the Parakeet Killer in to take them out. Put the dogs in the bedroom. Got a towel. Opened the outside door to the porch. Opened the door on the fireplace. Pulled the screen back carefully to try and catch the bird before it got loose in the house. Didn’t succeed. Bird flew to kitchen counter. Crapped on it. Saw open door and flew out to the tree next to

Chick Fil A

There are so many reasons not to eat at Chick Fil A – all of them having to do with nutrition and diabetes – that one wonders why the issue of same sex marriage needs to even be referenced.

It’s a fast food joint, folks, catering to the worse of our food habits, offering us fried fat ladened with sodium. Isn’t that reason enough to stay away?

Just reading it made me exhausted

A great Alaska lady, Mary Louise Rasmuson, died this week at 101. Just reading her obituary made me feel exhausted. She accomplished so much in her lifetime and never seemed to tire. Me? I need a nap after cleaning the bird cages. She reminds me of my aunts. Indefatigable women who never saw a need to stop and, if they did, never thought it was a good time to do it.

Another great one has left us.
