That’s what the trip to JoAnn’s was. There were women there who had been waiting more than 4 hours to get their material choices cut. The stores didn’t have enough people manning the cutting tables. I’ll possibly go back tomorrow or Sunday afternoon. If I’m really smart, I’ll order it on line instead. Chris did [...]

Mornings are busy around here. We have the business schedule to get worked out & started. I have my zoo to get fed for the day.
The Oscars are about a foot long now, from snout to end of tailfins. Almost full grown. They don’t have teeth, per se, but they do have bony ridges in [...]

From BusinessWeek:
“A British court official says a juror was dismissed from a sex abuse trial after discussing the case on Facebook.Court administrator Peter Carr says the female juror posted details of the case on the social networking site and asked her online friends whether they thought the defendants were guilty.

My old computer was bought in Feb of ‘04. It was an eMachine with XP Home on it. It died in Feb of this year. Since Gateway (maker of eMachine) & HP have irritated me in the past, I bought a Dell. With Vista. I fell for a challenge.

This was my clown of a husband Sunday morning.
With his A.D.D. raging, he’d gotten distracted & lost his coffee. He was almost to the point of accepting the loss & making another cup for himself. I was in the powder room & counted his trips throughout the house.
Twice upstairs, four times around the circle that [...]

A direct steal from the New York Times Gail Collins, who has a very good idea:
“Thanksgiving is next week, and President Bush could make it a really special holiday by resigning. Seriously. We have an economy that’s crashing and a vacuum at the top. Bush — who is currently on a trip to Peru to [...]

Or maybe terry cloth?
I need a new robe. My summer one just isn’t cutting it. Since I make them myself, I have the choice of anything I want. I can make them the length I want (floor length in the back, ankle high in the front ) & all with short sleeves. Do I want [...]

What is it with the “celebrity watch list”? On every station I turned on this morning, there’s something about a celebrity meltdown or bickering.
On GMA, they were running something about Spears’ meltdown. All I know about it is that she acts like a dope-head, needs to have her kids removed permanently & shouldn’t be anyone’s [...]

“Well, what does that make you? You sleep with a plumber!”
We have some of the strangest discussions here. Then it can, & does, degrade into something like the above. It all started over the name of a part. The part is called the ‘PO assembly’ but the part is a push up rod for the [...]
