A Trip to the Airport

A Mad Lib for Haley, who is traveling by air today!

I have never seen a place that looked more like a theme park that wasn’t.  We went to the airport yesterday, and there were more slugs and parking lots than I could count.  Each lot was chock full of helicopters and trains, and those [...]

The Ball Game

Another Mad Lib, because I simply adore them.

Yesterday, I went to a wigball game in the Himalayas. The tickets cost 100 dollars each, and it was worth it, because it was the stickiest wigball game I’ve ever seen. We took our seats, and when the refreshment baby came by, we ordered Brussels sprouts [...]

I Love Mad Libs

I have always loved Mad Libs.  The other day in the school bookstore I found a deck of Mad Lib cards.  Yes!  Who knew that Mad Libs could also be a card game?  Of course, since I don’t have anyone around here who wants to play card games, I figure I could use the cards [...]

Just a quick thought here…
Why do so many people call me on my home phone in the middle of the day and refuse to leave a message?  Do they think I’m going to psychically know who they are and why they called?
Ok, so it’s true that I don’t bother calling most people back anyway, but [...]

Having Lasik Surgery in a Funeral Home

I do love spam! This one tickled my funny bone. The subject is RE: Schedule your Lasik evaluation today. I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets at least a dozen of these a week. The thing that struck me as funny is that it came from someone at Funeral [...]

To the dumbass who turned left in front of me, causing me to nearly hit your frackin’ SUV:

I have a friend who has been telling me for at least a year that I need a Tom Tom. It’s a geek thing. I don’t really need a Tom Tom, because one of the important lessons I learned from my dad was how to read a map. Give me a map, [...]

Harmony

I am a female person who lives with a male person.  As you might imagine, once or twice we’ve had the conversation about toilet seats.  I’m pretty fair… I think we should both put the seat down.  I’ve gotten more insane about this lately as one of the cats has taken to playing with the [...]

Dear Dr. Kwesi

Dear Dr. Kwesi,
You have my condolences regarding your son’s illness. I know how heavily a child’s lack of health can weigh on a parent’s mind.
That being said, however, I must confess to a great deal of confusion regarding a great many things in your correspondence. First, your email makes little sense overall. [...]
