***Tax Time
AARGH! This is not my favorite time of year. I need to get the taxes done quickly, since I should have already filled out the FAFSA form. It’s not easy to do our taxes … imagine having 10 W2s, along with my two Schedule Cs. It’s simply not fun at all! Then I have [...]

***The Planet Has Landed
back at our house! Yippee! Speakeasy finally fixed whatever was wrong and we now have our connection back up and running here at home. This means no more busy phone lines (for sometimes over an hour … I had no idea how much time it took to update my sites!). This means [...]

***Right
I just received some SPAM for “hangover pills” … hmmmm.
Now I would think they might offer me some anti-hangover pills, you know? I’m not looking for a hangover. And I don’t drink enough to get one either, so even anti-hangover pills won’t be necessary, thank you very much.
I know, I know, they also have “cold [...]

***My Turn to Share
The other day, at his site, Dan “shared” some SPAM he received. So today it’s my turn:
The subject? Re: Cancelled Card Oboe zakdlic
The sender? My good friend Lavern Butcher (yeah … rigggghhhht)
The message?:
Now and then, defined by avowal. When you see near flowchart, it means that toward everybody takes a anomie break. [...]

***Oh Well!
And suddenly there was more time for TV.
And reading.
And yard work, even.
Our DSL service went awry. They still haven’t figured out what is wrong, but speakeasy is supposed to be working on it. We lost our connection sometime Thursday morning (8:30-ish) and Dan called them. They said “24 hours” … but, alas, no [...]

***Duh … who has time for TV?
From this article we learn that we internet junkies aren’t quite as nerdy (they use the word “geek” … no big diff!) as some think. (Sorry Kelsey!)
Of course they neglected to mention that internet users are smarter, prettier, and more fun than the rest of the world.
Go figure.

***Update
Um … it’s “elvish” not “elven” as my not-nerdy-at-all-oh-no-siree daughter told me!
***What to Do?
So … if you visit Kelsey’s site she writes (today) that she isn’t “nerdy enough”. Hmmm.
I mean, what’s a mother to do? The girl wants to learn the Klingon alphabet now that she seems to have mastered several others (including one of [...]

***King of the Hill
I know some folks hate that show, but I think it’s pretty darn good. Today was a repeat of an episode I love, where Bobby gets involved with a pastor who is young, tattoed, and plays rock and roll. It’s pretty funny. Here is a quote from Hank, when he’s talking to [...]

***QOTD
A little quote for you:
Wine is proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.

-Benjamin Franklin
Ah, yes indeed. (All in moderation, of course!)

***Home again, home again …
jiggity jig.
At least I think that’s how that poem goes! (But I bought no fat pig.)
Anyway, here I am, at home once more, and ready for some rest! It was great to drive Brandon and Kelsey back to their schools, and we enjoyed some meals and lots of conversation. The drive [...]
