Many haunted moons ago, Halloween night was one of the most exciting and anticipated nights of the year for me and the rest of the neighborhood munchkins. The smell of leaves and a cool nip was in...more
Recently, one of my sons told me that one of his friends who frequently stays here said that they like being here because we seem like a normal family. That made me feel really happy, because some...more
Every time you turn around, they think up a new tax for us to pay. Sometimes, the tax is enacted to get us out of a jam–but then, when the crisis is over, the tax is never repealed. Most of...more
It’s the perfect storm. It’s been rainy and unseasonably cold for weeks. Youngest Son has hardly had time to text me, let alone come home for a visit. He’s the strong-minded so...more
Big Daddy and I were winding down the evening watching an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation that he recorded on DVR. Actually, he was watching while I was flipping through the last section...more

MamaNeeds2Rant Before the cobwebs take over my blog, I'm taking requests. Anybody have any ideas? What do YOU want to read about?
I wasn’t taught to feel this way. The concept of sexism wasn’t even really an issue in my household back in the 1960’s and ’70’s when I grew up. Mom worked outside t...more
Yikes! Thanks to cable (good old competition for the network giants) TV has a few bright spots. Just about everyone can find at least a few shows to interest and entertain them. To get those cab...more
This could very well be tomorrows headlines, if I wasn’t 50 miles away and terrified of jail. I’m still hyperventilating and shaking due to uncontrollable anger.I was calmly sitting he...more
I remember when the HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) was first enacted in 1996. It must have cost the USA vast forests of trees. Every time I took the kids to the d...more
It only took us about thirty some years, but with the help of some modern technology (namely, Facebook), we got together again. And we’re even better than we were before!Cindy #1 was my best...more
One of the few nice things about the weather turning cooler is I’ve been able to go for a run whenever my poor old decrepit body is awake enough and not worry about melting in the afternoon s...more
Anyone that knows me knows that I love nachos and salsa. I could live on it. Every year, I grow a garden mainly to grow fresh ingredients for homemade salsa. I harvest my tomatoes, peppers and c...more
I’m sure you’ve heard the old saying, “Please don’t ASSUME. It makes an ASS of U and ME.” Lately, I’ve noticed an ugly trend by certain people to dismiss other...more

Last week, there was an item in our daily newspaper about a blogger, PittGirl, who had decided to “out” herself. I had never even heard of PittGirl, but I guess a lot of other people h...Read More
Actually, I don’t think I’m so alone. I think there are a lot of people just like me. Maybe we’re a minority group of thinkers. Or maybe we’re just a great big silent maj...Read More
Yeah, I’m living in a pig sty. I’ll admit it. I’m living with three giant eating machines, and the big guy that spawned them. We also have a slobbering boxer dog that drops toy...Read More
It’s been a busy week, y’all. What makes it worse, every time I do something anymore, my poor old body needs a nap. The week in brief:Wednesday: My very first venture into a casino. ...Read More
