Today I looked in my mirror and saw my mother staring back at me. This is scary in itself as my mother passed away 14 years ago…but what I mean is…I have her face.
Each wrinkle and sag was her payback for my teenage years…I just know it. I waved at my reflection and said, “Hi [...]

All you non Type-A’s don’t get to weigh in on the vote, because you just don’t understand. There is an order to life that many people just don’t recognize, and it is up to those of us that do to make sure things are put in their proper place. To say that I am [...]

Please tell me this is a temporary thing, like puberty for people getting older? I hate to say it, but I am losing my mind. I am afraid to admit it, but I am getting older. I am really not that old, just mid-30s, but my body and brain think this is [...]

Okay…it has happened…I turned into my mother.
But worst than that somehow during my sleep I was picked up by an alien space ship and dropped on some unknown planet where the residents look like my teenage daughter. This creature has her face, voice and blond hair but the similarities stop there. I was [...]

If it isn’t annoying enough that telemarketers and bill collector’s call you several times a day, usually at dinner time, very early on a Saturday morning, or any time on a Sunday, now they have a new tactic. This is what I get when I answer the phone: “Please hold for an important [...]

Now I’m sure most of us have some kind of rant about where and how people use their cell phones. Everybody loves complaining about cars, movie theaters, restaurants, and public places. This rant is not about any of those. No, this is about those people that use their cells phones in the worst of places, [...]

If you haven’t heard of YouTube you have definitely been living under the proverbial rock. The video sharing phenomenon was something that really everyone saw coming, but how and by who noone was quite sure. Many companies have made forays into the field, but none has done it bigger than YouTube. They are the 800lb [...]

Why is it that smokers (in general) think that sharing their butts with the world is ok? Do they really believe that tossing a freshly completed cancer stick out the car window is not littering? Every time I see someone do this, I feel like driving up next to them and tossing any [...]
