Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Since the Chilean miners rescue mission is going along swimmingly and I think I may be about out of tears to shed watching the family reunions, I need to share how my warped brain works for a little comic relief. In between being astonished at the incredible feats of technology involved in the rescue, I... Continue Reading →
I may or may not be able to post much again this week. Every time I think I can, something comes up. In the meantime though, what I worked on last week was actually for another site. I'll post it here later, but for now, make sure you bookmark or add Whatever Nation to your... Continue Reading →
Yes, I am posting something political on my main site - though that's because, to me, this should NOT BE political! Prop 8 Struck Down - The Decision - a long, but very well fleshed out summary of the legal aspects of the decision handed down yesterday which caused oh so much celebration amongst all...

Sounds like a plan! (Thought this was a heavy dose of sarcasm from someone at BNO when I first saw it. Still do. Damn funny no matter what)
If you follow me on twitter then you saw my statement that I know I will not be able to look at any of the photos of oil-covered birds that will be appearing as the oil spill continues and spreads to the shore line. I couldn't handle the Exxon-Valdez photos either. I love our feathered... Continue Reading →
Recovering from a kick ass head cold, so not much to write, but I found this very interesting. Oil is in the news of course given the catastrophic oil spill going on off the Louisiana coast right now. Consequently I've heard the oft repeated refrain "we've got to find a safe way to get this...

It occurred to me last night as I sat watching shows off the DVR while my son toiled away on the computer preparing a History project that it was the 4th straight night that he worked on homework until 8pm or so. Willingly. No fuss, no hassle, no fighting. Just me doing as usual and... Continue Reading →
