You know... that Blog?

Something unsavory has been going on in our larger choral group that we sing with lately.
We are a great group of about 55 voices. Strangely enough, out of that nice number, only 5 are tenors (including John-Boy), and out of that 5, only 4 are men (um, also including J-B!). That leaves, of course, [...]

Oh my GOD – Facebook is BROKEN!! How will we fill our time? What will we do? Oh, there it is. Never mind.

I try hard to make a point of visiting everyone involved in any particular meme each week – sometimes (like the past couple weeks, when free time was a commodity I did not have) I fall short, and for that I apologize! I try to spend some quality time and really take in the meaning [...]

I’ve been very quiet in here lately, and late on a few things that normally I’m very “on top of”. I’ll have to chalk it up to stress – I have a huge contract that I’m trying to complete, which spans the entire country, and finding people for it has proven… problematic.
I am looking [...]

I’m going to switch gears for a minute and talk about something that has been bothering me for years.
For a long time I’ve found toddler beauty pageants disturbing. I can’t be the only person who clearly sees how destructive and, well, evil it is for these disgusting, socially retarded people to dress innocents up [...]

I just got the most offensive chain letter. Not offensive in that it was chock full of contorted naked bodies or foul language, but just in the form that it took, and that it implies that people around you (or you yourself) will be horribly killed if you don’t spam everyone you know with it’s [...]

I cannot believe how annoyed I am right now.
I have always extolled the virtues of using Google – I love my Google tool page, and use it all day long. But today… today they seriously ticked me off.
When I post a Mosaic Monday post, I always make a point of visiting each and every [...]

The Teen knows she must call every few days, except when she’s out on the ships. She knows this. She went to summer training in Nova Scotia with not one, but *three* calling cards. She agreed to call home, and call her grandmother, at least twice a week to touch base with us. This is [...]

Arriving at my van this afternoon after grocery shopping, and finding not one but two advertisements shoved under my windshield wiper really got under my skin. They must have worked hard to get those papers seated; my wipers, when inactive, nest deeply down into the window well.
This annoys me to no end, and without [...]

I just spent the last 2 hours watermarking all the images I’ve used on my blog to date, due to the sheer numbers of people showing up via Google Images. I’m flattered that they like them enough to want to click on them, but it concerns me that they may also be grabbing them for [...]

I don’t have a sponsor. I just like that line ;)
It’s been a while since I posted anything that was just about ME. Mostly it’s because… well, while I do adore talking (and writing) and sometimes I wonder if it’s just to see/hear myself do it, I don’t talk about myself all that much. Probably [...]

Ok, I’m seriously, seriously bummed out here.
Little one just brought me the nth tiny doll with long hair to put a pony tail on, and I asked her if it was a McDonalds happy meal toy. She didn’t know, so I flipped it over to look at the fine print.
Hrm. Can’t see it [...]

Still an enormous amount of mourning going on over Michael Jackson.
Tribute websites and Facebook groups popping up. Constant news coverage, the likes of which we have not seen since 9/11 (understand here and now that I am not comparing the two events in any way), extolling his virtues. Mourning the loss of a legend. [...]

I was out doing some pre-Father’s Day errands with my little one today, and pulled into the packed TD Bank parking lot, which is shared with the LCBO (Liquor Store). As I was gathering up my deposit books and reaching for the button to open the van’s side door for Wee One, a waving hand [...]

My so-called fans didn’t much like my sweet potato/yam post it appears. Hrm. Maybe it was too ejumacational for them? Or perhaps, just maybe… they just like to poke the bear. I have long suspected it of Doodle Cakes (Jenny indeed!) but ShaMoo? A closet bear poker.
So it wasn’t my usual kind of blog post. [...]

This has annoyed me for years. Really, it has! When I saw recently in a Top (hint hint) US supermarket that they had yams and sweet potatoes – but that they were both marked as the other – I just about had a bird.
The time has come, folks, to set this record straight. Listen up!
The [...]

I had 2 instances of comment spam yesterday – my very first ones! I guess that means my little blog has officially “arrived” on the net! Thanks to the bots who spider my website constantly, no doubt. (The spam was from some moron touting a Google money making scheme)
I’ve been around the block a time [...]

I appear to have managed to screw up my blog so that the title shows up as “undefined” in RSS feeds.
I have to run out for a while – I’ll have a look at it later tonight.
Undefined…

I like cute things as much as the next person, but there is definitely such a thing as too much cute. Inappropriate cute. Nauseating cute.
I have friends who, for some reason, send me all sorts of what I call Friend Spam. Friend spam is well meaning, but most of it is such drivel that I [...]

Left the house fairly early today – the Teen and her friend had to be at practice for their Cadet Annual review, and I’d promised my brother I would stop by and sort out his wiring for his high speed in his new house. Stopped at a couple garagesales (yes it is one word if [...]
