Now all her trails will be bright, beautiful and pain free. You were filled with love, Blondie. I can only hope I gave you all the love you deserved in return.
Over the Rainbow Bridge
How do they do it?
As I sit here watching Blondie struggle with cancer, knowing there is nothing I can do but make her comfortable until she has to make the crossing over the Rainbow Bridge, I find myself wondering where parents find the strength to sit with a dying child, knowing there is nothing they can do to escape the sad ending. What courage they must have. I don’t think I could ever do that.
A friend of mine
A friend of my was concerned about a sick relative who was losing her house to an upside down mortgage problem who couldn’t even find out who owned her mortgage. And all I could think was that this friend’s relative should just relax because the Republican presidential nominees are taking care of all her spiritual and moral needs so that she won’t have to worry about the only home that really counts – the one in heaven.

Where’s the Mary Grotto

Whether it’s Rick Santorum trying to keep birth control from women because it is against his religious beliefs or Newt Gingrich urging a constitutional amendment to keep marriage sacred as defined by his three sacred unions, we are skating dangerously close to a religious reign in America.
It doesn’t matter if you call them priests, ministers or ayatollahs, religion ends up trumping
Am I the only woman in America….
… who wants to stand up and scream at all the conservative politicians, “GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY VAGINA!”.
MRI
My dog may need an MRI. If she does, I will do it no matter the cost, even though I know as I write those words that my grandmother is looking down from heaven with a look of horror on her face.
You do what you gotta!
You know you’ve arrived when…
If there was any doubt that Stephen Colbert has become the cultural, political and otherwise arbiter for the new generation, it was resolved when guest Nancy Pelosi was followed the next night by Placido Domingo. Wow.
