You have got to look at this cool post, about how tiny the Earth is in view of the universe. It ‘s a great pictorial example of the perspective of the planets and stars. I’d post the photos here if I could, but I think they belong to somebody. Check it out, it’s cool!

Entrecard Ire
March 28, 2008
I’ve had Entrecard on this blog for a few weeks now. I’ve also read SCADS and SCADS of posts about Entrecards- how you can pimp the system, get more credits, sell credits, fanagle the widgets, make and use plugins… blah blah blah. I’m not a big dropper for this blog, anyway. Who has all that […]

Know what’s fun? Making a running start and sliding down the kitchen across the linoleum. Just saying.
WalMart Free Samples
March 25, 2008
Thanks to Coffee Can Cash (my new favorite site!), I heard about free WalMart samples. Go here to see what WalMart is giving away. All you need to do is enter your mailing address and birthdate. My only regret is that the Maybelline Mineral Foundation makeup is not available online; you have to find the […]
Why Do You Watch Television?
March 24, 2008
I recently read Newton Minow’s speech, “Television and the Public Interest.” Newton Minow was FCC Chairman, and gave the speech in May 1961. It was renamed “Television and the Vast Wasteland” because that was the most memorable part of the speech. Have you ever read it? Do you read speeches? If you do not, it […]
The Cure For Mid-Life Crisis
March 21, 2008
I found this hilarious story at Live, Love, Laugh (not a blog for kids). After being married for 44 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, “Honey, 44 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and […]

Have you heard the expression “slaves to be free”? I think it’s been around since the Civil War era. Today, however, I think Americans are slaves to be slaves. I’d heard a story a few years ago, a true story. It is a poignant picture of the state of the American culture and mind in […]

Grow your own dope: plant a man. All generalizations are FALSE. A woman’s place is in the house… AND in the senate. If you’re psychic, think honk. Dyslexics are teeple poo. Jack Kevorkian for White House physician.
A Car That Runs On Air!
March 19, 2008
This is so cool! It is the best idea for cars I’ve seen yet. It runs on air, and can go for 200 miles on one tank of compressed air. It can also read a speed of up to 60 miles per hour, which is much better than the 30mph cars I’ve heard about. The […]


Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
