Good Bye Thursday Thirteen
You may or may not have noticed, but the Thursday Thirteen hub is no more. Seriously, that sucker is completely gone. Less than a full week after their announcement, they dropped hosting and now have a redirect to GoDaddy. Here is my 13-part reaction. 1. Wow! That was so sudden. It takes my breath away. 2. It was so fun. It was the highlight of my week. 3. I’m addicted to blog stats. Thursday was great because my stats always […]
By George! Prince George's Mating Dance
When we left off last week, George IV had found a new love. Any idea’s what kind of woman would turn his head at this late date? The Prince’s new love interest was Lady Hertford, daughter of Ninth Viscount Irvine. Lady Hertford was a Tory, as were most members of her family. This put off the Prince not a whit. He was willing to be flexible on that point Lady Hertford was, according to one historian, “a very rich, beautifully […]
Where You Going?
more animals Mr.Al and I are staying with my mother right now. We’re going to spend New Years Eve at an Indian restaurant and eat curry, and catch a movie. It’s what we do every year. You weren’t planning on going anywhere today, were you? Do you go to visit with family over the Holidays? If so, do you stay for more than a day? Do you stay over New Years? How do you ring the New Year in?

TT: Things I Imagine Santa Might Say
So Santa is making his rounds. You know he’s gotta have it tough on Christmas Eve. If we were reindeer, you think we might overhear this? 1. Honest, lady. I’m leaving the gifts, not taking them. 2. Do they really expect me to use a painted-on chimney? To heck with it, I’m using the front door. 3. Yum, rum balls. 4. I have got to loose weight! 5. Tsk, tsk, tsk, naughty, naughty. 6. Yum, fruitcake. 7. Nobody believes in […]
What Is It With Cats and Christmas Trees?
more animals What is it with cats and Christmas trees? My son actually wants to know the answer to this. He seems to think it has to do with the way a pine tree smells.

What do you do about it?
