Gloves

I’ve always found the phrase “May contain nuts or nut pieces” odd, especially when it is found on foods that have nothing to do with nuts. Don’t the makers of these products know whether there are nuts? What do you mean it “may contain”? After seeing this several times and pondering the possibilities I’ve determined…

Cone Bra

I like her and I like her music. She’s weird and freaky and does the unexpected. At the same time she’s not hurting anyone. She’s not ripping anyone apart or sitting in judgement. She is an entertainer, not a political analyst or a martyr. She wears weird costumes and sings to a great back beat.…

Folded Towels

Summer is over and my children went back to school yesterday. The first day of school is always an emotional and exciting time for me. My children…yeah, they are just excited. It is a time to reflect on the past school year and summer and also look forward to all of the wonderful things ahead.…

Hanes Her Way

I really want to discuss Karl Rove and the irony that he is bowing out now. Now that he and the current administration have made a complete mockery of our country, at home and abroad. But, I will choose instead to discuss the door people at Costco… If anyone works at Costco I really would…
