If I’m found sprawled out and dead on my kitchen floor, it’s Blondie’s fault. Since she started on the increased prednisone, she haunts me in the kitchen every second I’m in there, even if I’m doing nothing more than grabbing a paper towel to clean up a bird mess. I can’t turn around without falling over her, bumping into her, or tripping on her feet. Her appetite is insatiable and no crumb is too small to escape her notice despite the fact that her nose is still clogged and cataracts fill her eyes. If this were 30 years ago, I’d

Donald Trump taking a year long vow of silence.

The headline read that a MIssissippi mayor was outed as gay after receipts from an adult book store were referred to in an investigative newspaper piece.  And what was my first thought on seeing the headline? My first thought was, “I bet he’s a Republican”. And I was right. This leads me to wonder if the Republican Party now has more closeted gays than the Catholic priesthood. It also leads me to wonder if all Republican men are closeted gays and join the party as a way to meet other closeted gay men.

As an American, I shudder at the thought that he might actually be nominated by a major political party to run for the presidency.

As a writer who often ventures into political realms, I salivate at the thought.

It is the perfect food… but only if you pop it yourself in a pan with oil… no nuking it, no pre-popped bags contaminated by flavors never meant to be near popcorn. Just plain, unadulterated except for a little salt, popcorn.

Of course, if you are at the movies, movie popcorn ascends into the realm of manna from heaven and is comparable to nothing else on earth.

To whoever thought up pill pockets for pets… thank you, thank you, thank you! Now if you could just come up with something that makes dog hair automatically disintegrate when it is shed on the floor…..

According to Donald Trump, his greatest anger over his debate debacle is that Michele Bachman declined to attend. Trump claims Bachman called him frequently for advice and even indicated that if she won the nomination, she’d consider him for vice president.

That probably says all anyone needs to know about the dangers of a Bachman candidacy. Have Republicans learned nothing from their last vice presidential disaster?

Top brass in the Republican Party are now grousing that their current presidential nominating path is becoming nothing more than a media circus with no real substance. It’s amazing it took them this many

One of the many joys of living alone is that you can eat dinner in whatever order you like and however you like. So I can eat some veggies from the stew mixed in with some potatoes, then stop until I feel hungry again and then go eat a piece of meat from the stew and then maybe 90 minutes later decide I’m ready for the salad or the sugar free dessert… whichever I feel like eating first. And no one, not even my birds, think any of that is strange. 

Pot brownies are the gift that keep on giving. Even as you eat one to satisfy your munchies, it is setting you up for the next round… or, at least, that’s what I seem to remember from my misspent youth.
