I have to drain the water out of my washer so the moving company will pack it up next week. I have no clue how to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks....
ARRRGGGHHHH! There's another Biznet productions blogger on JU! His name is 'bizowner'...his latest article is "success is a choice'... ...IT'S A CONSPIRACY, I TELL YA!!!!! "
Before I get into this, let me lay down some ground rules...I know that child abuse is not limited to religious circles. This article is in no way meant as an attack on organized religion...this is just an account of a nasty case we had in my community a couple of years ago. I was reminded of this case as a result of a conversation I had over on Cornbread's 'Gay what???' thread. As always, I welcome responses and comments, but be warned that I will not tolerate attitudes such as...
..and I'm glad that we're moving. My neighbors are away on vacation for a couple of days. Ordinarily I'd have been glad to see the back of them and enjoy the tranquility, but I'm not. The man of the house had weekend duty this past weekend, which called for him to be at work at 0500. He apparently was getting up at 0330 ...because he's left his alarm clock set for that time. Our bedrooms are on opposite sides of an adjoining wall, and I have been woken at 0330 the ...
Dave's scheduled to come home on Friday. That means that I only have 2 days of solitude left. OMG!!!! It's finally starting to sink in now. That he's coming home, that we're moving, that life is finally moving forward again. This past year has felt like....like wasted time, almost. It wasn't, because I learnt a lot about many things....but I can't help but feel like I didn't really do anything or accomplish much. The moving company called me today. They'r...
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,...
For no particular reason (other than I feel like it) and in no particular order (just as I recall them).... 'Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand' -Baruch Spinoza.

I got my hair cut today. I went to the salon on base...the last time I went there the woman cut it too short, and it took me 2 months to grow it out. She's Korean, and her English isn't the greatest, so I attributed the bad cut to the language barrier. This time I decided to take a picture in so she could see what I wanted. I asked her to not take it too short, said I really liked the length of it but wanted to lose some of the bulk. Mistake. She cut it...and cut i...
My almost 12 year old daughter saved up and bought herself 'The Sims' for PS2 a couple of weeks ago. I watched her playing for a bit this afternoon. Her characters were being retards...one of them overflowed the toilet, then slipped in the water on the floor and hit their head, and the other one caught themselves on fire whilst using the stove. She didn't try to save herself, she just stood there and burned to death. I asked Shea if her characters were..."all there".&nbs...
For those of you who aren't up to speed.....I had a large lump (about the size of a hen's egg) removed from my left breast earlier this year. It was non-cancerous, but it still had to come out anyway. Now that everything has shifted back to normal and things have healed and settled....I'm lopsided. My right is noticeably bigger than my left. I usually wear a C cup...and I fill out the right side nicely. The left is emptier. I tried on a bra that was a B cup the o...
Singer Rick James died in his sleep this morning, of unknown causes. He was 56. So long, Mr James. You are gone, but you will never be forgotten.
It has been suggested in the past couple of days that I am a pessimist. I don't think I am. I think I'm a realist, but the suggestion got me thinking about the differences between optomism, pessimism and realism. The dictionary defines optomism as : A disposition to expect the best possible outcome or to emphasize the most positive aspects of a situation . Nothing wrong with that, I hear you say? No, not at all. But when optomism is a person's sole view, and w...
There's roadwork on one of the interstate exit ramps/bridges about 5 miles away from here. I got stuck in traffic because of it today. Which leads me to this rant. Why in the hell do construction crews decide to close sections of road for 10 mins at a time right in the middle of rush hour? What are they thinking??? Isn't it common sense to do it at some other time, when there's less traffic to back up??? It was so bad this evening, vehicles were backed up onto half a mile...
I'm sending this in an email to Dave (my husband) tomorrow. Dear Dave, As I write this I have a very small black kitten sitting in my lap. She's been here for an hour now, and she sits like this quite regularly...if my lap is available, she's sitting in it. She seeks me out to come sit with me. Today she patted at my ankles until I picked her up. Spot-a-rooni was the last born and the smallest of Pixie's babies. When she came out she didn't breat...
