They Call Themselves “Apple Geniuses”

January 6, 2008

Have y’all ever gone through the fast food drive-thru, with a carload of kids squealing in the backseat? And, you ordered a bagful of burgers, fries and some chicken nuggets for Junior (because he’s been driving you nuts begging for them for thirty minutes)? And, you pay for your order and get back on the [...]

Huh?

October 29, 2007

My local paper, The Denton Record Chronicle, has a section called “Names In The News,” where they publish stories that come over the Associated Press wires. I don’t know why I bother to read it, because I usually scratch my head and say, “Huh?” Sunday’s paper was no exception. The headline read: Church to send [...]

The Clean Plate Club

October 26, 2007

Do y’all know a picky eater? I’ve never been a picky eater. Lordy, one look at me will tell you that! I’m a bona fide member of the Clean Plate Club. I’m happy to eat healthy vegetables and fruits, and I love my bacon, too! I’m not fond of “organ” meats, but other than that [...]

Raise Your Hand If You Hate The Technorati Monster

October 13, 2007

Don’t y’all just hate feeling like you are a kid in high school, and don’t get to sit at the “Cool Kid’s Table?” Technorati is the entity that decides if a blogger is “cool.” It counts the number of links to a blog and gives each blog an “authority” and a rank. You would think [...]

Frozen Assets

October 10, 2007

I’ve had a slap in the face this week. I had to face a huge dose of reality and go back to my “real work” (if you want to call it that). I tell stories to adorable little urchins in public schools. It’s not a hard job, mainly because I love seeing their faces when [...]

A “Lady” Does Not Swear, Unless

October 5, 2007

Y’all, I try hard to be a nice person. At least in public. Even though it’s not really a secret that I can sling profanity well enough to embarrass a sailor, I don’t go around cussing people out at the stores or when I drive down the road. I try hard to live by that [...]

Karma or “Cartma?”

September 1, 2007

The parking lot of the grocery store was crowded, but near the entrance was an empty space calling my name. There was a shiny black Lexus parked to the left of that space, and an older woman (about my age) was loading her groceries from her cart to the car. Now, that woman saw me [...]

The Joys of Home Ownership Are Highly Over-rated

June 8, 2007

Do you hear that howling and thrashing of wind? It’s not an F-5 tornado. It’s me!I’m shrieking like a banshee. Some of you might remember that I posted about profanity a few days ago. Well, all that is “gone with the wind.” I’m totally wild right now, and creating new words as I go along. [...]

“Can I Speak to a HUMAN, Please?”

May 28, 2007

“Thank you for calling the Crappy Cable Company,” the automated female voice said, in a pleasant tone. “Your call may be monitored for quality assurance.” I listened while the voice at the other end of the phone line proceeded to list forty-eleven services I did not want. Each time she asked for my “yes” or [...]
