IFTTT of Marriage Relationships are constant battles. Sometimes you have to hold your ground. Winning sometimes isn’t a bad thing, you guys. Let’s not underestimate the truth behind a dog or an ape showing who’s boss. I’m not saying you have to be the Alpha one-hundred-percent of the time. Somewhere between forty and sixty is […]
Memories: sometimes there is pee.
Memories should be doody-free. Sometimes kids are sweet. “Can I sleep with you tonight, Mommy? I want to snuggle you.” Aw, how adorable, right? I will admit it – I usually say yes. Not all the time, not every week. But the snuggling does happen. I just can’t always say NO to that cute-ness. Any […]

Would You Give Up Your Universe for Me?
The hubz and I have been watching Fringe — don’t ask me what season we’re on, because I don’t keep up with that sort of thing, thanks to Netflix and Amazon Prime. [[[ Editor’s Note: It’s Season 4, stupid-head. ]]] The story we’re at currently is where Peter is trying to get […]
What I Didn’t Write About
I read a blogging tip several months ago (and of course failed to bookmark it, damn me all to hellz!) that when you are stuck for a topic, you should write for whichever of your categories contains the fewest blog post entries. Brilliant! Finding myself stuck, I thought I’d see what our top losers […]
Mistake in Life — On NOT Being a Prostitute
You know what? I want to talk a minute here about some so-called “bad choices” I’m accused of having made in my past. I’m sick to death of my entire life being summed up by other people as a series of “bad choices”. Now I happen to like my life. I’m very happy with […]
