Also, a great big FUCK YOU to HostLatte, my now-former blog host company. So, a few weeks ago I tried to get to this blog. And couldn’t! I tried to log in to this blog’s admin page. And couldn’t! Weirdly I could get to the blog if I used Safari’s incognito mode, or if I…
Ghosts Appear, then Fade Away
Sometime in the last year, we found this video on YouTube of Choir!Choir!Choir! performing Men At Work’s song “Overkill” accompanied by Colin Hay (the singer from Men at Work). (There is also a video of Choir!Choir!Choir! performing Never Gonna Give You Up with Rick Astley and if these videos do not make you want to…
2020 Year in Review (or, what a clusterfuck)
1. What did you do in 2020 that you’d never done before? Survived a pandemic? 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don’t remember if I made resolutions, but I probably didn’t keep them. My 2021 resolution is to Do Better and get the vaccine…
A very long 28 days
So, about 30 days ago, I had my annual appointment with the gynecologist. For various reasons, we decided to have some blood work done to see if I had anything interesting. Imagine my surprise when their office called back to say “Hey, you probably have hepatitis C!” So, the cure for probable hepatitis C is…
A Post-Scooby Universe
I absolutely can’t believe I haven’t written about this. (I’m so sorry, Bertie) We lost Scooby in January. He was fine. And then he wasn’t. And then he was gone. One Thursday in January, I was doing my pre-workday nap (I do this Monday through Thursday if Gene is not working from home) after hauling…
2018 Year in Review
1. What did you do in 2018 that you’d never done before? I rode on a tank! 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? My 2018 resolution was to Do Better. I don’t know. 2019’s resolution is again, Do Better. 3. Did anyone close to you…
My Dog’s Asshole, and the other dog IS an asshole
Hey, if your dog’s butthole looks a little misshapen, like he/she has a zit next to said butthole, take that poor beast to the vet right away. Don’t put it off because the groomer didn’t mention anything. Don’t put it off because your husband thinks you’re weird to check out your dog’s ass. And if…
An Attitude of Flattitude
Hello. Happy Thanksgiving, nearly. Here are the things I am NOT grateful for this year: Not making it to Indiana. Again. Having to cancel 2 vacations this year (New Orleans and Miami) due to health and scheduling problems. Year end is nearly here. This is my 19th year end. I am truly afraid that I…
1. What did you do in 2017 that you’d never done before? Turned 40, Tweeted (a fair bit), Got Laid off, Filed for unemployment, Got a new job, quit that job, Got a new new job 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don’t remember…
Bourbon, Prince of Barksylvania
I learned something new today about Bourbon (the dog, not the booze) today: he is an avid fan of the British Royal Family. While I watched a documentary about the late Princess Diana, he was riveted by the screen. (Don’t tell me that dogs don’t understand TV and that this is proof I need to…
