As spitting nails mad as I am at Lindsey Graham for flip flopping on his very public position of not putting forth a Supreme Court candidate in the final year of a Presidency, I can think of other instances where it has been good. And, let’s be honest, both sides of the isle do it… Read More Flipping is Good
This past week I’ve been binge watching The Boys, an Amazon Prime series with an interesting premise. The twist to the series is representing superheroes as extremely flawed beings. The revelation on why they are so flawed comes about later in the series. However, I was stuck on how villainous the series made most of… Read More Superheroes
Lately, I’ve been conducting a shit-ton of research on Google. Y’all are probably cheering right now…or maybe not…thinking I am writing again. Sadly, I’m not. Google research has become my second favorite pastime during the pandemic. See, I’ve been reading a lot…books, news, Facebook posts, conspiracy theories (for laughs), etc. I’ve also shared my free… Read More Just Google It
Although my parents were very poor when I was young, I’m still a white woman who comes from privilege. Because after my father got his degree compliments of the military, he was able to make a very good living. We moved out of that trailer park to an apartment complex and then to a brick… Read More Privilege
I don’t think I am exactly “famous” for making up words, but it has been noticed on more than one occasion. Several readers have noticed my propensity for making up new words. It’s something I do. I tried to think back to when this started. Sure, when a writer creates make-believe worlds, it is bound… Read More My Fiction Dictionary
Lately, I’ve felt like everything I’ve done is lackluster, including my blogs. I haven’t written anything besides my blogs in over three months. I have ideas but haven’t been too inspired to write. My blogs of late haven’t been funny or filled with interesting research. I don’t even want to read them to check for… Read More Lackluster
I am now into my first week of retirement and I don’t believe it has hit me yet that I don’t need to get up at the ass crack of dawn. I’m trying to stay up later to enable me to sleep in the next morning. It hasn’t quite worked yet. That will be a… Read More Retirement is Here!
I’m a curious person and random questions often pop in my head. Recently our team was delivering Holiday cards and everyone on the team was saying Merry Christmas. I usually default to Happy Holidays. Sure, I’m in Human Resources and people expect me to be ‘politically correct’, but recently I read a great post that… Read More Happy Fill in the Blank
The other day I was talking with my brother in law and sister on how best to help my father who is starting to need a lot more support to live independently. Of course, for us, the logical conclusion is for him to sell his home and move into an assisted living facility. He does… Read More Lesbian Communes for Mature Adults
I’m embarrassed to admit that until Darla, the Executive Director of Stone Soup Community Press mentioned Compound Interest would be released on Giving Tuesday, I’d never heard of it. Sure, I knew about the commercial days, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. I’ve even provided a bit of history in a previous blog on Black Friday.… Read More Giving Tuesday
