I didn’t think I had much to say this week, so I wasn’t planning on writing a blog. However, a couple of incidents over the past few days have been somewhat amusing (to me at least), so I thought I would jot them down.

Today (February 16) is my husband’s and… Read full post »

Last night I had a dream. I suppose I’ve been watching too much TV, because the dream seemed like a sitcom from the Fifties. It had the typical husband and wife main characters, and I was the wife’s sister who was visiting at the time. There was also the standard set-up:… Read full post »

I wasn’t sure whether I would write this week, but relating my recent adventures in the world of medicine might benefit someone out there, so I thought I would give it a shot.

A couple of weeks ago I had an EGD, or esophagogastroduodenoscopy. I’ve known for more than twenty years… Read full post »

I started blogging regularly again because I wanted to get back into the habit of writing. Writing fiction is my preference, but my creativity has been a bit lacking lately. Blogging used to come easy to me, so I thought it would be a good way to get started.

Just over a year ago when I first joined OS (under a different name), I challenged myself to write thirty blogs in thirty days. I intended to write a new blog every day but, to be honest, I cheated. About half the blogs I posted were ones I had previously written… Read full post »

So…I got a Blu-Ray player with wireless internet and I have Netflix streaming so for the past three weeks or so I’ve been watching an almost nonstop marathon of Charmed. Yeah, it’s pretty much like mainlining pure refined white sugar and I’m surprised I haven’t gon/… Read full post »

Recently, CNN ran a story about a company called “Hotschedules”. I happen to know someone who works there, so you might say I have the inside scoop. So first, please read and view CNN’s version:

I’ve seen some pretty bad movies. Movies so bad I couldn’t even bring myself to give them my customary thirty minutes to see if they get better before turning them off. Sunday afternoon I watched a movie which (I hope) qualifies as the worst movie I have ever seen, or will… Read full post »

As a devotee of Miss Manners and genteel society in general, I have viewed the various interpersonal interactions on Open Salon with alternating horror and amusement. The reason for the horror is, of course, self-explanatory to those who possess any sensitivity whatsoever. The amusement is due t… Read full post »
