Visiting Bunny, the artist.

It is time for a “Visiting Bunny” update.  I have given her a box, and moved her food to a corner she is happy with and, while she still likes to sit in her ceramic bowl, she no longer poops in it.  I tried to get a picture of bunny in a box, as she [...]

This blogger’s total humiliation, is complete.

Master’s daughter always gives the greatest gifts. I have received a Japanese tea set, a miniature Stonehenge (we’re still waiting for a Scottish fellow to time travel through), a circular knitting sock kit, complete with a neat bag, and “The Aspiring Writer’s Journal.” 
Too bad she can’t give me a better memory, because I know [...]

Let’s Play “Pretend Actor”

 I love Inside the Actors Studio .   Which, by the way, this website (the one I found) has not been updated since April of 2007.

 

At the end of every interview, James Lipton  asks the following questions, based on French television personality Bernard Pivot, after the Proust Questionnaire – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, which is actually much longer.
 
So, I [...]

Living with the sun and Hating air-conditioning

I absolutely, positively, hate air-conditioning.  Living with someone whose body temperature nears that of the temperature of the sun, and who has COPD and needs dried out air, you have to live with air-conditioning.  My husband’s claim to fame, aside from his renown for cooking stick-thin black fries, is that he keeps the air-conditioning up to [...]

Anyone want to join me — living in a tent?

After much hassle and more money than I ever dreamt any move should cost, we closed on our house November 7, 2003.  I promise this will be the last house post for a while.
As rumor has it, the first owner lived in a trailer, while he built the basement and then moved into that. It [...]

Part III – Our Realtor Can Beat up Your Realtor

 
Disabled husband and Gaffer arrive in Indiana first. He parks in the motel, where we have reserved a room for tomorrow’s closing (HAH!! That’s what he thinks, yet because his cell is not working real well).  He parks and hears a crash.  The back corner floor of the trailer he is pulling, which is loaded [...]

Moving: The long awaited Part II ORRRRRR—-

THE MOST EXPENSE MOVE ON EARTH!
 
PICTURE THIS:
1.     House sells and you aren’t sure you want to but you are now stuck.
2.     Two weeks pass and you refuse inspections, thus begging out of the whole thing. Whew!
3.     And, way too good realtor hands you next offer. Shit!
4.     Not knowing why you accept it, you do and [...]

Who threw the Twinkies?

I love the blog, A Mask to Hide Behind, which is now (June 2009) actually  A LIFE IN THE DAY OF ME.  In fact, I like it so well that it is currently one of only two Blogs I subscribe to. Of course, it may be they are the only ones who make it easy to figure out [...]

VISTA and the Stuck alpha numeric Keys

Yet another reason to hate VISTA
 
I understand that a company does customer research; or we hope they do, but certain Cola companies, as well as Wendy’s seem to just skip over that step.  And, in doing their research, let us say that Microsoft has found that their customers want them to use an icon for [...]

Meme me

I finally looked up meme. It was driving me nuts and I could never figure out its pronunciation and did not know its meaning. So, using my trusty  Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, I found out that it was pronounced like gene.  Okay, now I know that and understand it is like a virus that spreads, [...]
