Wow. I was reading an article about things like the oil spill and other emergencies. The article said that during Katrina, in the FEMA camps, the government or military was allowed to confiscate people’s personal supplies “for redistribution.” That means if you brought 3 days’ worth of food, they could take it all and give [...]
I really like the song Tea Party by Kerli, from the new Alice in Wonderland soundtrack (though I haven’t seen the movie yet). Except for one thing. The song goes, “you didn’t RSVP… that’s okay, that’s okay.” Really, Kerli. Miss Manners would be ashamed. How could you teach our kids that not RSVPing is in [...]
A friend who used to work at our local YMCA and I went to tour our new facility. She suggested I get a membership and maybe even a job in the child care center there. Her friend, the current director, allowed us to go into the child care area and talk to another ex-co-worker, whom [...]

(Meh, I went for a friend. But the experience of being at a TV show taping was neat.) I was never a talk show viewer, but my friend really loves Steve Wilkos and so we went to see a taping yesterday. (He used to work on, and guest hosted, the Jerry Springer show.) It was [...]
Woman’s World magazine suggests that you line the stairs to your deck (not the railings, the stairs themselves) with tealights for a party to light the walkway elegantly. Actually, this sounds more to me like a great way to set your guests’ shoes, socks, and pants on fire. I think if I were going to [...]
Jenn Cannon is the current Jeopardy champion. I don’t know how she won. She’s supposedly a doctor and got a question wrong about the ear canal. How much more basic in anatomy can you get?
