Follow the money…

This YouTube Video talks about Gardasil and the adverse reactions that it causes. This blog post contains more information about the DEATHS that have been caused by Gardasil and other information that EVERY parent should read before allowing this to be given to their child… and that every woman should read before consenting to get the shots themselves. The FDA […]

So many books…

What we have here is the top 106 books most often marked as “unread” by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you’ve read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn’t finish. Confusingly, everyone seems to create their own code at […]

9 months

It’s a short time, and a long time. 9 months ago yesterday, I gave birth to a perfectly formed, stillborn little boy, who died at 14 weeks gestation. It seems like ages ago, and just yesterday. It usually takes 9 months from conception to birth a baby. 9 months of anticipation can seem forever. 9 months of hoping and disappointment […]

Police Gear

Ok, so maybe the average person isn’t that interested in police gear, but I do have several friends involved in the police force. 5.11 Tactical Shorts from LA Police Gear look like an excellent solution for any police officer for the summer months. These shorts are durable with roomy pockets. They are made to last for the officer on the […]

My Three Dads

It’s Father’s Day, again. I kind of fell down on the job, this year, though. I did the moms up good at Mother’s Day (photo books for each of them) but totally flaked on the dads. But anyway, here’s just a little about them, in order of when I first met them 😉 : My father (Ross O’Shaughnessy b.8/25/1947 d.10/10/2002) […]

“Social Networking” is fascinating!

I joined Facebook a while back because a couple of my friends were on there and I wanted to see what it was like. I added several more friends found through their “friend-finder” which takes one’s address book from any email program and checks to see if those emails are registered with them. One of the friends I added was […]

Tiger Direct has horrible customer service.

DO NOT buy from Tiger Direct. Or CompUSA, who was bought out by Tiger Direct. They will not honor the warranty as stated. Their employees lie. Our friends bought a computer from them and got a defective motherboard. They did not have that motherboard in stock, so offered a different one as a replacement. They then refunded the ORIGINAL motherboard […]

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

We went to our local movie theater tonight – the whole family – to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It was discount night – every seat was the same price (normal ‘children’s’ price, so it wasn’t a huge savings, but not bad, either). I loved it! I will definitely be purchasing the DVD when it […]

I ***HATE*** DOGS!!!!!!

Always always always when we’ve had a dog and it chewed, it was MY STUFF. And never anything minor, either. Stupid worthless dog just chewed up a set of Norman Rockwell posters that my mom got me that I’d just found again that I was going to put up in the bathroom (which I did over in Norman Rockwell after […]

“I can do it mySELF!”

JL is 2. Absolutely. He wants to do everything himself, whether his skill level is appropriate or not! However, there are some things that he does well. You should see him bowl on the Wii! It’s really incredible. He even gets the occasional strike! He had to get some dental work done Monday. To be specific, he had to get […]

I just signed up for PayPerPost

It looks like it will be a very interesting opportunity. It’s really easy to sign up – just enter your information and a password – and it doesn’t take long for them to approve one’s blog. I signed up on Friday and was approved by Monday. They have a great variety of things about which to post, and you can […]

“The Man Rules” and a woman’s rebuttal

(The Man Rules taken from generic email…. rebuttal by Karla Maddox. Rules in black, Karla’s rebuttals in blue) The Man Rules At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down Finally, the guys’ side of the story. ( I must admit, it’s pretty good – you guys always do ) We always hear “the rules” from […]

Well, that was goofy! (and annoying)

I dreamed that the Wiggles were in town, but they were tired, so they asked local people to fill in for them (they’d be ‘backstage’ helping out). I got to fill in for Anthony. My first bit was a skit about addition and subtraction and I wasn’t doing it quite like Anthony would (I was wearing the same outfit, except […]

My dh loves me.

Well, that seems obvious, I know, but every now and then he does something that particularly shows me so. I have always been very fond of male facial hair. He has kept a mustache for years, but for the last 8 years, he has refused to have a beard because he is self-employed and read a study that said that […]

Visits

We visited friends today. First, we stopped by the assisted living place and visited an older gentleman with whom we’ve been acquainted for about 10 years. He moved into assisted living about 6 months ago and we didn’t realize it. So we stopped by to see him, and he happened to be outside already at the time. We had a […]

Camping this past weekend!

We left Wednesday morning to go camping. We joined a new club, with new properties. Our trip this time was to Dahlonega, GA. You can see pictures in my gallery. So, anyway. We were intending to go to the Allison property. There was a mix-up with the accommodations, so we went to look at a different property (there are three […]
