Dr. Seuss was right! There is such a thing as green eggs! And I think Sam I Am was nutso for liking them. Yicko. That, my dear reader, is a green egg. My son read about an experiment with vinegar and a raw egg, and wanted to try it. The experiment was about OSMOSIS. Can [...]

How to Tell Someone is Unemployed
April 10, 2010
This is as old as the days of William Tell…. so the kid can flip business cards around, big whoop. Actually, he’s pretty good. But I loathe to think of all the wasted hours spent learning how to extinguish a candle or pop a balloon or knock a cup off a person’s head with a [...]
Weird, Friendlier Spam
March 28, 2010
Have you noticed a change in the comment spam lately, since the last six months or so? Before it used to be VERY obvious spam: billions of links, disgusting topics and words, or it was in Russian. Now I’m getting spam that’s.. well, “kinder and gentler.” It’s WEIRD. These jerks talk like they know me [...]
First Fly of the Season
March 17, 2010
Looks! It is the First Fly of the Season! Now we know spring is a-comin’! Egads my window is dirty. Well, they’re 100+ years old and it’s been a long, grimy winter. The fly is by my work station. How annoying. Can’t he go to some other window?! GOTCHA. Well, it was the First Fly [...]
Haiti Charity Fail
February 16, 2010
FAIL. I can’t help but feel sorry for the girl. :duncehat: $10 per call to send $ for charity!?! What a scam! UPDATE: I did a little digging about the Haiti Charity cellphone venture. Some of you seemed concerned because you hadn’t heard about the fee. This is what I found at the PBS website. [...]
My Name is Rebecca… and I Love Disco
February 9, 2010
Oh yeah baby. I have a confession to make. I LOVE disco! I was one of those really crazy girls in high school who loved Donna Summer and the Bee Gees. (Donna Summer became a Christian, too!). I hated the punk of the 80s and the grunge of the 90s. I love the disco of [...]
Unitard to the Rescue!
February 5, 2010
Wow. I thought I needed a vacation. But maybe I don’t. Not if there is going to be this crazy guy in a unitard who leaps out from hotel front desks… The video is a new ad for Vacation Rental.org. We travel from time to time, and I much prefer vacation rental homes versus skeevy [...]
Real Photos That Look Photoshopped
January 30, 2010
It’s very difficult to believe that some of these photos are not “photoshopped” (altered or edited with the Adobe Photoshop program). Some of them are spectacular!
Goofy Product Labels
January 21, 2010
After blogging about the goofy Geek Squad labeling on my crossover cable package, I did a little search to see if anyone else has found goofy labeling. While I didn’t find many photos of the labels, I did find long lists of them. And they include some of the STUPIDEST labeling I’ve ever read!! LOL!! [...]
I Have a Lotion-Eating Cat!
January 9, 2010
This is just weird. Is my cat really weird? She licks the hand lotion off my hands. Is this harmful? She acts like she’s in nirvana. Livvy’s lotion of choice. I don’t know what they put that stuff- is it toxic to cats? If I put the lotion on my hands, even when she’s in [...]

I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). 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 do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com,
the Associated Press and 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.
