The Saga Continues... Okay. Back Pain Flare-up, check. Small Intestine obstruction, check. What's next? How about severe neck strain? Sure! So this past Wednesday, I wasn't feeling too hot; achy gut, etc. So I took off again Thursday and Friday (another bad day) to try to be sure the intestinal crap (or lack of crap … Continue reading I don’t believe this. I really don’t believe this.

JK Rowling Is My New Hero. That should be shouted to the rooftops and put in front of all the Harry Potter books sold to young women. To underscore this, I was out with my mom & dad & sister Debbie yesterday (stacked to the gills on Percocet, but yes, I went). We'd initially planned … Continue reading Fat is sure as HELL a Feminist Issue

...because no one can ever TRUST what it says. Remember the Body-In-The-Rum tale? And my comment about it being a good take for Mythbusters? Well: MSNBC got snookered. All the rush to get the news on the air and online, and they can't bother to check their damn facts first. (and omg, never ever take … Continue reading This is why MSNBC is a good place to bury a news story…

Probably just from a dream...so I turn over and try to … Continue reading Percoset…wheeeeeeee…..

Feel free to argue loudly with me if I diss one of your favorites, but know always that I am ALWAYS RIGHT, … Continue reading Anyway, on to the real post…

And this is why Mexico has outlawed pickles: Another one for the Mythbusters.

Oh, wait, I DO have something else to share (snarf)... The second part of The Magnetic Glass Tale, which I just found out today (having been off work with this !@#$% back): The co-worker that had to respond to that Stupid Email had decided -- against all evidence to the contrary -- to give the … Continue reading The Flunkee of Kindergarten Science strikes again!

So here I sit, with a bottle of hard cider downed & slightly drunk, and a loudly purring cat in my lap ("is Fwodo a good boy, den? Is he? Is he? awwwww purring kitty's so CUTE..." *snuggle snuggle snuggle*), my back still hurting like hell, and all I can think of to write about … Continue reading Small animals excreting on them for hours!

So I've got a bad back. I've had a bad back for a while. And Thursday, the day after the Great Big Sea concert, it decided it was going to remind me it was a bad back. Not quite a spasm, but DAMN. It was bad, bad enough I was in tears, and continued to … Continue reading owie
