It's true!  All the assumptions that have been made about me by certain fictional characters are true. I am a housewife. I stay home and take care of my home and my family. I am the queen of the kitchen, the mistress of the mop, the CEO of the toilet bowl. I am a nurse, a doctor, a pharmacist, a chef, a maid, a teacher, a landscaper, a chaueffer, a veterinarian, an interior decorator, an accountant, a seamstress, a nutritionist, a mechanic, a maintenance person.... I...

I ran a series of these this past spring.  I feel like reviving it.... I'm going to try and grow my hair out to about shoulder length.  After the bad haircut experience a couple of months ago I'm wary of letting anyone get the scissors near my barnet. I used to play the trumpet when i was in HS. I have had 8 sugeries so far.  I'm running out of spare parts....the only thing I have left that I can comfortably live without is my spleen.  The rest of it has gone bad...

I've deleted my blacklisted.  Everyone that was on there has been removed, and my blog is open to all.  Why?  Because I want to see what happens.  I'm curious......

" leader in the moronic movement fled England many years ago as a refugee English housewife, to escape intelligence and manners, to be with like minded idiots in America. Good riddance is what I say, the less moaning morons Britain has the better. She is a traitor to England and St George, and shames her English forbears ." Why was this necessary?  Why was Anthony R's piece about LW necessary?  I have deliberately stayed away from his blog, his articles, and his web site. I...

This will be the only time I will ever do this. I'm asking you for tangible help. As you may already know, we have among us a blogger who's facing the prospect of becoming homeless.  Gideon MacLeish has a wife and 5 children (the youngest being only a couple of months old).  Gideon lost his job a little over a month ago, hasn't qualified for unemployment, probably hasn't qualified for TANF, can't make his rent this month, has no vehicle, has sold or pawned just about everything h...

People who can't stay in one lane when they're driving.  They meander from lane to lane, riding the center line...and making me very nervous. People who have never been to the US, and who's only knowledge comes from what they see on TV or read in the paper...but who think it's ok to slam pretty much everything this country does and says, all the while declaring their country to be morally, intellectually, socially and democratically superior.  It's ok to hate the US.  Everyone ...

Well, I'm glad to see that you haven't all killed each other...       What’s up, JU-ers?   Long time no talk, huh?   Well, we’re all moved in here at Scott AFB in the Great State of Illinois.   We landed on our feet and moved into a 4 bedroom, 2-bath house less than a week after we got here.   Our new home is really not bad…older, yes, but that works with my rustic decorating style.   It’s also one level, so there ar...

Sorry for the all caps title, but I did it for a reason. I want to hurt Diamond-D.  I want to shake him until his teeth rattle and make him understand that pretty much nobody here is interested in any way in Biznet productions or Fred Whats-his-name or any of the other stuff he puts out.  No wait....he did throw out some Patton quotes earlier that I'd have liked to read...but he didn't space or paragraph any of them and after the third one my eyes hurt - so I quit. Diamond-D,...

..or 'time to say goodbye'. It is, it's time for me to bow out. No, this isn't an attention getting article, in which I say I'm going to leave and you all say please don't go.  Contrary to some people's opinion (Manopeace and Pete, I'm talking to you) I'm not like that. It's just time for me to concentrate on other things...my home, my family, my husband when he returns...I have other priorities. I have made some really good friends here, and I will keep in touch with them, eith...

I dunno if you missed me or not, but I'm back (Much to the chagrin of those who had hoped I had left permanently, I hope.  I told you it'd take more than that to get rid of me!) My PC guru, Dave-across-the-street, volunteered to put some new stuff on my 'puter.  In doing so, he found many, many problems, and hence it took 48 hours and many headaches to get me up and ruinning again.....up, rinning, bigger, and better , much better than before.  All for the tune of $80 because...

This isn't being dragged out of me, this is being done voluntarily.  This isn't a manipulation, this isn't a plea, this is just a statement of fact. Frank, I give a shit about you, and about your situation. It bothers me that you're upset with me BECAUSE I give a shit.  I'm glad that you've found someone you love, and I'm glad that you have found some way to help those less fortunate than yourself.  I think that's an admirable thing to do, considering that you ar...

....that there are people here who kick ass. Who aren't afraid to be totally honest about themselves or their circumstances. Who have no pretentions, or who put on airs-and-graces. Who are able to see through the BS and cut to the truth. Those are the people who make me want to keep blogging. Then again..... There are people here who will claim to be anything that fits their particular argument at the time. Who refuse to provide any factual information to back up their claim...

In the past couple of articles it has been insinuated that I have no compassion for those who are mentally ill, despite my admission that I have been clinically depressed myself. It was said that I have compassion until it comes to spending my tax dollar on assistance for the mentally ill. No names have been mentioned, but both Teresa and I know that it is us who are being referred to.  I really had tried to refrain from writing this, but I cannot let this go. I have c...

I would like to dedicate the following quote to my JoeU sisters (and Teresa, you got promoted to sister a while ago, I just don't think I ever told you that). Women are like tea bags - you don't know how strong they are until they are in hot water I don't know if it is possible to love people that you have never met, but I will tell you all this:  I consider myself extremely fortunate to have met and interacted with you.  Friendships have been forged here, friendships that I h...
