I’ve been away for like a gajillion years cause nothing has moved me enough to write about it. I think it’s fitting that my first post after such a long absence would have something to do with shit that totally sucks. I can not emphasize it enough: this TOTALLY sucks. I mean, what the FUCK [...]
For all you surf bums and X-treme fans out there it appears there is some more controversy surrounding the X-Games. No, this drama isn’t who can do the most back flips, or even which athlete has the newest reality TV show. Instead this drama is of the most exciting sort, logo drama.
It appears that [...]
We sure heard a lot about Joe the Plumber from John McCain last night. A regular slice of this here American life, this Joe, just trying to live the American Dream, right?Well, when a Republican presidential candidate turns someone into an instant icon, my smell-o-meter goes into hyper-drive. Only it didn't take long to uncover this swine before the pearls.From the Houston Chronicle's blog pages
I was looking forward to a trip to Belmopan this morning with Lara Alaina and Rick. Unfortunately I was taken out of the game at 5 am this morning by a bowl of cereal I had for a snack last night that made my stomach topsy turvy - not fun.Paul had to go in my place as the trip was not just for pleasure. I was going to get residency stamp in our new passports and Lara was handing all her papers in

I was out shopping at Pak N' Save and boy! are we up there with GE plants or what! Check out this tomato's bum!Why did the tomato blush?Because he saw the salad dressing.What did the tomato do after he blushed?He flashed his bum.
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeekEvery time I see the Black Eyed Peas bloom (I know they're Susans, please forego the OhMyGAWDYouDidn'tKnowTHAT e-mail), it reminds me that summer will be folding up shop here soon.When I was a little girl, seeing those flowers made me giddy because this meant new school supplies, new clothes and A NEW SMURF BACKPACK WITH MATCHING LUNCHBOX were in my immediate future.

Today’s Hope, Change and Unity…
A glorious Democratic “Unity” event was held last night in New York City.The event was intended to be a donations drive for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to pay off part of the $23 million in debt.Obama was supposed to ask his loyal donors to support Hillary.…But he forgot.

It's the Fourth of July. Happy Independence Day to those of you celebrating the holiday today!I'm ambivalent about the day. I love the food, but hate the fireworks.Dinner was great. I bought a 5 quart Teflon skillet and made home fries for the first time in ages. We also had Sloppy Joes and greens. We sat together at the dinner table and stuffed ourselves. But the neighbors are stinking up the pla
So the kids are not feeling well as I've mentioned before.. Buddy has a cough and Allie is teething. Her teething phase is going pretty bad, as compared to Buddy's.. So, that means I've gotta stay healthy and get my kids back into shape!! Right???
Well, just so you know.. those "mysterious red dots" (which weren't really mysterious, after finding out that they were ruptured blood vessels) that
So, I am guessing that none of you are going to figure it out and I am not patient and therefore and doing another one this week. I still am not going to tell you what #10 is, but I will give a hint: it’s somewhere on Ponce.
I try not to list pet peeves two days in a row, but I've had a disgustingly long day so that rule is out the window for this occasion. Today was by far the nicest day in Chicago that we've had in a very long time. This lovely weather might actually steal attention away from the cougar that was killed in Roscoe Village this week. And it's tough to beat a cougar, it's a wild cougar in Chicago! So with the nice weather, there are inevitable things that happen in the city:The crosswalks become insufferably crowdedTourists - more on that another timeThe summer homeless people come outPeople have very high self esteem about the clothes they wearand the biggest summer buzz kill....Cubs gamesNow before I'm gunned down for saying that, I'm not saying that I hate the Cubs, I'm saying as a Lakevie
[22 March 2007] So, sitting here pondering. A little more than a week from the Rugby Sevens and still no luck in getting tickets (last offer I got off some forum was $2,800 for 3-day pass, gee). I am now starting to make up stupid excuses for myself for missing the event and [...]
We so need a new TV! BAD! We need a tv tomorrow! Or more like, yesterday!! The TV in the living room has gone from bad to worse. Mel, Dan and Jacq could vouch for that. Hehe.. Never have I seen a football field that was orange-y red!!
And not only is the colour of the TV whacked, but you've got to wait a while for the images to appear too. Last time, it was like a couple of minutes. Maybe 3-5

TAMPA, Fla. — Running back Cadillac Williams and tackle Luke Petitgout both will undergo season-ending knee surgery this week, a major setback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Williams injured his right knee when he was tackled by Carolina safety Chris Harris at the end of an 18-yard run during the first quarter of Sunday’s 20-7 victory over the Panthers. Petitgout limped off the field after defensive tackle Kris Jenkins fell into his right leg in the second quarter. “That’s a more…
Today I received a group message from First Opinions Panel regarding their new survey which if qualified you’ll be invited to a focus group that will pay $100USD. So I copied and pasted the URL into my browser’s address field and got ready to answer some survey questions but unfortunately after selecting the region where I am located the next screen presented me with the dreaded “not qualified” message. Aw, that sucks!
Anyway, those who did not qualify will be entered in a draw that will give them a chance to win 1000L$ (but I want $100USD, hehehehe).
If you want to earn some L$ to support your Second Life then what are you waiting for join First Opinions Panel now.
You can also join other survey/research groups like Market Truths and Reperes-Second Life for even more L$. Oh and don’t forget Earn2Life amd Slam-X too. They are not survey/research related but you’ll earn L$ from them too. Goodluck!
I had the truck all set up - the camera ready to go - the floor vacuumned - my bed deflated - and what happens?"I'm sorry Ms. EC there was a mix up at the warehouse and although we have your mattress we do not have your boxspring or headboard and footboard. It "should" be in tomorrow after 1pm." BAH!

Yesterday's blog on work tied for the top number of "hits" on any subject I've written about thus far. And more people posted comments than on any other topic.Clearly, we all agree it's a very important topic and as far as I'm aware, there's not a lot written about it--in books. Perhaps, it's been discussed on some of the major bipolar web sites but I'm not sure. As I mentioned in an earlier posting, I rarely read these sites because dwelling on the sad aspects of this illness doesn't make me feel well. While I'm happy to discuss any and all problems, by nature I'm a solution-oriented problem solver.Having said this, I suddenly realized that I wasn't sure how to proceed on this topic. I'm not sure how to use the blogging format to discuss individual questions that may be pressing. For example, I read Syd's comment and she needs help right now. She was recently diagnosed. She's currently experiencing a depression. She's been a freelancer for the past six years a
Although I was able to work full-time for almost 20 years, once I began taking medication and I got sicker and sicker, I was unable to work on site. Both the severity and duration of my depressive episodes increased. I went from having two annual six-week depressive periods, one in April and the other in October, to having one depressive episode last an entire year.Luckily, I had already developed a number of skills that initially enabled me to continue working as a freelance writer, grant writer, and author. The bummer was that my second book, The Mommy Guide, was published just before I started this downward spiral. While I was initially able to attend a number of book signings at bookstores and even do a few radio interviews, my greatest opportunity came when the medication was producing terrible side effects.I was approached by an international advertising agency who wanted to send me on a six-city book tour if I would endorse a baby formula that one of their clients manufactu
Ohh what a bummer this is. I grabbed my framed print (the one from my home and garden party) today to go hang it up in my room. I put the nails in the wall grab the print hang it and that is when I noticed a huge gash in it. So now it will be sent back on Monday to get a new one sent to me. For something that cost $160.00 it better be perfect.
