No kidding, my mother-in-law has home and garden magazines from 1984. The woman is a veritable human archive of Woman’s Day and Better Homes and Garden magazines. Now, I won’t lie to you. I was old the moment I came out of the womb and can give any old biddy a run for her money. And [...]

I have gotten my first official hate comment. (Well, besides the woman who was extraordinarily upset by my insinuation that American Idol is, in my firm opinion, crap and pointedly decided she wouldn’t bother gracing my husband’s new radio show with her ever valuable listenership because she could not abide by my opinion. I count [...]

Do you have any idea at all of what it’s like to be in a meeting with me? Well, except for this one, the rest of you probably don’t know. It goes a lot like this: blah blah blah, I’m right. Blah blah blah, your idea is STUPID. Blah blah blah, shut up! Actually no, [...]

I promise you I am not insane. I’m even regarded as being a relatively pleasant person. But there are times when I get to feeling a little bit unabashed and today seems to have been one of those days. So, when I was asking you questions about a shedding comb for Hooper [...]

We have discovered that *other* dog owners who take their dogs to the beach are, well, weird. For some reason they bring their dog to the beach, but they don’t really want them to interact with other dogs (or, god forbid, people).

I find all this anti-Valentine’s Day stuff a little tiring. Is Valentine’s Day commercial? Yes. Is it essentially a Hallmark holiday? Of course.

Hi readers. Ok. I should probably clarify that I’m not depressed. I really appreciate all of your lovely comments and emails (and phone calls) but I just want to put it out there that it’s a little unwarranted. Just keep it warm in your back pocket for now, I’m sure I’ll be grubbing for your [...]

Because I’m all about being fair and balanced* in this blog, I thought it would be apropos to post another video that will make your cry, but different.
