These are the most annoying types of books. And when the big showdown happens at the end and then the rest of the story is.... continued in the next book? I want to throw it across the room! I don’t, because I’m usually reading on my Kindle. The only times I will purchase/borrow the sequel is if I truly enjoyed…

I made one of my cats dizzy while playing “red dot” with him. I felt so bad, I held him for at least an hour apologizing to him, even though he was perfectly fine and I was laughing.

I hope they grill him beyond the 14 pre-approved yes-no questions that the House Intelligence Committee are “allowed” to ask.

Because socialism = communism. And we hate commies.

This is one of the reasons why I am still in my relatively low-paying job: I get great medical benefits that I don’t have to pay for. My biggest fear in leaving it for a higher-paying job is that the medical benefits would suck and I would actually be taking less home then I currently do. It’s comforting to know that…

Let’s not forget that he gives (gave?) his employees only two weeks paid vacation, but complained that even that was too much.

Just took a look. Apparently, I’ve been a Satanist and didn’t know it.

Wait until she finds out that Jefferson cut up multiple bibles and pasted them together so that he could exclude passages that spoke of supernatural occurrences and the divinity of Jesus. Then she’ll just faint when she hears that Jefferson didn’t consider him to divine at all! He viewed Jesus more as a philosopher…

You can order the biscuits by the half-dozen. I did that one time for NYE. If you are really nice, sometimes they throw in one or two extra. I’m just grateful they don’t deliver.

Now that would be a conversation I would love to listen in on.

I’m at the point where I want to say, “Go ahead and drink your raw water. It’ll help the gene pool.” But I usually end up shaking my head and finding some cute puppies to calm me.

I stocked up on canned soup these past few months. It came out to be about $1 a can (meaning $1 a lunch). It’s also great when I am out the night before and didn’t have time to prepare lunch. I’ve also been doing a Spanish tortilla-like bake for breakfast. It takes a bit of time to prepare, but is delicious and…

I hate FedEx too. We have to use them for work and they kinda suck. I had sent a very large package with preserved specimens and it never arrived at the destination. I didn’t realize it for a month and called to report the package missing. I can see loosing a small box, but a big, two foot cubed brown box? Not even…

My homemade orange cranberry sauce is always requested at Thanksgiving. Simple simple. It contains orange zest and Grand Marnier. Just enough to give a hit of orange without being overpowering. It’s been a hint for about 5 years now.

I was just about to post that it’s the right way to hang toilet paper except if cats are involved..

Somewhere online (years ago), I came across a guy who automated a door to his heated garage. The door opened at sunrise to let them out and closed right after sunset. After 2-3 nights of being locked out, the birds figured out when to high tail it inside. I believe the door was left open during the day, so if they…

My sister is in the same boat, except as a police officer. Just last night, she was called to an OD where the paramedics shot the guy with two(!) doses of IV(!) narcan before he came out of it. Apparently, he had taken a dose of street Percocet which, unbeknownst to him was cut with heroin. The fact that it took two…

I once had an argument with someone who wanted my backing some pro-life thing. They called while I was cooking. I told them that modern science has determined (at that time) that a fetus born before 24 weeks has a nearly 0% chance of surviving outside of the womb. Life means being able to breath, eat, and drink on…

For me, AIM was a way better teacher of touch typing than the keyboarding class I had to take in high school (I feel so old saying that). With AIM, you HAD to learn to type fast in order to keep up with the conversation. If you hunted and pecked, you would be responding to a message that probably left the screen…

My blood pressure has been steadily increasing since January, and I think I just found out why...
