Unfinished or poorly designed or broken websites. Really, it's 2011 and if your online storefront is not your #1 priority then you are doing it wrong. I'm planning the upcoming August Moms gathering here next weekend and I spent yesterday surfing around restaurant websites and nothing irritated me more than trying to open a menu...

1 wrong does not make 50 wrongs
Last week an email went out at work admonishing the ladies of the basement about flushing items they shouldn't. Specifically, it was plastic applicators (apology for the slight TMI there). I knew because I heard the maintenance employee talking about it. I immediately felt defensive because hey - I'm a woman in the basement! But,... Continue Reading →
What happened to Ebay?
I am going to sound like such an old fuss bucket, but, remember when Ebay was..well..EBAY?! When it was FUN? When it was EASY? When it was...well..CHEAP?! When Ebay first launched it was the Internets very own garage sale site. Just folks in their pajamas like me, cleaning out their closets & garages to sell... Continue Reading →
Please! Stay HOME!
'Tis the season...yeah, for Christmas songs, lights & baking....but also for...ACHOO!! Winter flu and colds. Now, generally this time of year is about being TOGETHER. About SHARING and GIVING. But, um....not THAT PLEASE! If you feel feverish and chills - STAY HOME! There is no amount of last minute anything that needs to be done... Continue Reading →
That’s MY spot
Today started off crappy. And by crappy, I mean, really totally OK to all rational people. I dropped off SB at school in plenty of time to miss the drop off line traffic. I was happy because I had remembered in time that there was a breakfast special in the cafe that I wanted so... Continue Reading →
Contradictions
I like to think of myself as a positive thinking person. OK, that's wrong. I happen to know that I AM a pretty first class Pollyanna most of the time. My glass is ALWAYS full. My first impressions of just about everyone/anything are good. I can make excuses with the best of them. Hell, in... Continue Reading →
I haz a rant
On the eve of a mid term election day, and despite my absolute passion for politics and the games surrounding it, I am absolutely DONE with people who MIX politics and games – specifically, the World Series. Quit telling me who to root for in the Series based on political beliefs! Seriously – STOP IT!... Continue Reading →

ADULTS here folks. ADULTS! Fully capable of choosing what they do. According to this article though, The... Continue Reading →
Scoreboard baby!
That title & image are what are known as teases - because no, I really don't want to talk some smack. Odd, huh? I've been a big fan of Jim Rome for well over 15 years now. I love listening to smack talk between fans. It can be oh so creative & funny. Yet, I... Continue Reading →
What we have here..is a failure..to communicate!
I've freely admitted my entire adult life that I am not a very 'phone friendly' person. I can't explain it, it just is what it is, but I've never been comfortable talking on the phone. Yet I do have a compulsion towards returning calls. If you called me about something - and left a message... Continue Reading →
