Freaky Frugalite

If you’ve been following the news (of which I haven’t much), apparently a 20-inch long deadly venomous cobra escaped the Bronx Zoo last Friday, and has not been found yet. :holycow: The Bronx Zoo dudes think that the deadly venomous cobra is lurking somewhere within the zoo, but can’t be SURE. Once the snake gets [...]

I rarely if ever drive at dusk and at night (never ate my carrots as a kid), but I had to run an errand the other evening and was out later than I thought. Both my son and I noticed the beautiful moon hanging over the horizon in the darkening sky. It seemed to appear [...]

Hmmmm…. tell me if you think this is possible: You filled a cup with water and turned it upside down on a smooth surface. You quickly twisted and lifted the cup, and the water remained on the counter- suspended without any support- in the shape of the inverted cup. Is this REALLY possible?! My husband, [...]

Oh have you read the latest space news, breathlessly reported by science journalists everywhere?? “Distant star Betelgeuse will UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES explode in 2012! Definitely not!!” But scientists say star could explode at any time…. :duncehat: Oooookkkkk…. so they are absolutely sure the star will not explode in 2012. Why? Well, because the Mayans said [...]

Outrageous! This constitutes discrimination and encourages violence toward mailmen! Look what litter we found floating around in our yard: My husband was emotionally scarred after seeing this. He is a mailman, and he has had his share of close encounters with monster dogs. He could tell you some stories, Cujo-style, I tell ya. He’s worn [...]

One of my jobs as a Work At Home Mom is to write articles for a few online companies. I write articles about EVERYTHING: Blue Screen of Death computer problems, how to grow ferns, the history of the doorbell, etc etc etc. Some of the weirdest articles I write are about medical issues. I haven’t [...]

Hoh boy! I saw this story on my local news today: Deer dash into Western New York Wegman’s grocery store. Yow! Someone got the action on video. If you play the video, be aware that after the deer video is over, the video continues playing other news videos. :-p Sorry about that. I can’t figure [...]

Nothing like a possum skulking around in the basement to keep you on your toes, full of vim and vigor while you exercise heartily and obtain your target heart rate for aerobic exercise! Yes indeedy! :blink: We knew something was afoot a few weeks ago, when the cats’ food in the basement started mysteriously disappearing. [...]

I DO NOT BELIEVE IN “ALIENS.” I don’t believe in UFOs as from aliens, but I do believe in UFMOs (Unidentified Flying Military Objects). I have mocked crop circles and drunken alien drivers in the past. I just don’t believe in such stuff. And I’ve raised the kids to be REALLY skeptical of it, too. [...]

Ai chihuahua, and we thought the TSA body scanners at airports was bad enough. And we thought the Google Street Mobile, that captured the unencrypted wireless data of neighborhoods as it passed by, was bad enough. The A&E Z Backscatter Van is a nightmarish blend of both. Of course, it’s ALL for your SAFETY and [...]
