I have started to read and gotten half way through the book A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. This is the book that was on Oprah's list but then she found out that some of this book was "made up" even though it was supposed to be his memoirs of 6 weeks of drug rehab.--read more

Are people born stupid or do they take lessons? In the past 3 days I have encountered more dumb people than I need to. One fussed at me for asking me why I reported her to Ebay for non payment of my auction.....auction stated that payments are due within 7 days of auction close.--read more

Most of you don't know this, but my mother has lived with me for the past 15 years (long story, nuther time) anyhoo....Mom will be 80 in Feb. She is healthy other than a bit of arthritis and being a big grouch. As with most older folk, she stays cold-natured and is always complaining "I'm Cold!" So me and sis get together and decide that an electric heated throw would be a great gift. Well today she opens it and goes to use it and starts FREAKING OUT because the directions say "Not to be used on quadraplegics". She is ARGUING with my DH that she can't use this thing because SHE is a quadraplegic. Now mind you, this is coming from a woman who was a nurse for 25 years. Ok should I laugh because this is kinda funny or cry because maybe this is a sign of things to come? I am leaning toward the funny side because she came down a flight of stairs to argue that she is a quadraplegic, and I don't know of any quadraplegics that can walk down a flight of stairs. She thought she was a quadraplegic because she has had both her knees replaced. I think I need a glass of wine.--read more

Our story begins with me, trying to figure out what the heck I am going to wear to my school's coronation ball in May. So I thought DD18 has a small investment in prom dresses hanging in the closet....we are kinda close in size.. but I am quite big busted....hmmmm...I wonder if one will fit me? So I go on a trek in the land of formals.....realizing I can't zip any of these contraptions up without some form of contortion, I yell for DD and ask for help, she comes in, zips me up and tells me to turn around. I say "what do you think?" She says.......--read more
