Carmen Miranda needs her fruit bowl back.

Looks like Lord Nelson'missing his bowsprite. VICTORY!

She looks like she's been hosed..

My nephew's head was crushed by a bad forceps delivery. His skull was fractured and he ended up with a shunt in his brain and a seizure disorder. Forceps have saved babies and mothers lives but it's scary as hell to watch them used on a laboring woman.

My favorite comment on the Tea Party by JO to J " They're just trying to return us to the principles of the Founders- You know, the Landed Gentry and the stinking rabble".

Doh! It's the SECRET service. Geez, do we have to spell it out for you?

Tanya Huff "Summon the Keeper" series, Terry Pratchett "Wee Free Men" the whole Tiffany Aching series.

Apparently kinja ate my post so I will write this again. I love Twain, Austen, et al. But these days I mostly read YA Lit. Why? Because the "adult" fiction is dark, violent, and nihilistic. Adult characters are not people I want to spend time with. They are ugly and shallow or so twisted I'd run in the opposite…

I swear by baking soda for gross burnt stuff! Also, I use one of those glass scrapers- the ones with a razor blade you use to scrape paint off windows- to scrape junk off the inside of my oven.

Every pet I've ever had would react badly to being laughed at. Maybe I interact with my pets more than most, but they're sentient beings and understand derision. I have had to reassure my dogs that I wasn't laughing AT them but with them. Cats are a whole 'nother story. They get even.

I loved Roseanne's show and her working class humor. Growing up a smart girl in a dysfunctional and poor household, I often felt alienated from popular culture. Roseanne's riff on "Trailer Park Barbie" did it for me. I loved her satire of women's expected roles declaring herself a Domestic Goddess. I have HUGE…

I lost a lot of hair after a surgical site became infected. I was on iv and oral antibiotics for six months. I like this "scalp" shampoo called Clear. I've had dry flaky skin on my scalp after all the antibiotics. Rogaine can help depending on the type of alopecia you have. One problem with the Rogaine/minoxydol is…
