Home Coming
Jack: Hi. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Jill: Hi. Jack: Darling, I’m real glad you’re home, but why’d you come back now? Jill: Isn’t it obvious? Jack: (not saying anything cause anything he says is bound to get him into trouble, and frankly, he hasn’t a clue.) Jill: The way Aunt Gertrude feeds me, my hips were getting wide.

Suzie’s House 97: Trust
This is part of Ben’s story. The poor kid has had it rough since one of the red headed men tried to kidnap him. He was packed off to his father’s place , which wasn’t much fun for him, just when Mrs. D was driving him nuts with her unfair practices. Not that Gene has had it much better. Then the principal put a special substitute in Mrs. D’s class, and Ben’s mother let him come home. But like he […]
TT : Things I'm Doing to Get In The Christmas Spirit
My attitude simply hasn’t been the best this Christmas. I’m not quite Scrooge, but I haven’t exactly been the life of the party lately. So here are 13 things I did, am doing, or plan to do to get in the right mood. 1. Put up lights. I did some but I think I need more. 2. Take pictures of houses where they put up a lot more lights than me, and send them to Kelly in hopes of capturing […]
By George! Taking Care of Caroline.
So Prince George lost his suit against Princess Caroline, who returned most of the way to the King’s good graces. Then to add injury to insult, Fox dies. Last week’s By George! Was pretty eventful. If you missed it, click here. The government that replaced the “Ministry of all the talents” was familiar to Caroline; The Duke of Portland became Prime Minister. George Canning, a man long suspected of being Caroline’s lover, became Foreign Secretary. Spencer Perceval became Chancellor of […]
It's Back!
It’s back, it’s back, my desktop is back!! It’s all cleaned up and running smooth and I didn’t lose any data or anything! I now have three working computers in the household. Yipee!

Christmas Karaoke – All I Want for Christmas Is You
Due to technical difficulties I can’t get at the Suzie’s House files. Suzie’s House is going to have to wait a week while I get the problems fixed. In the meanwhile, I thought you might like this: And if you can’t remember how the singing part goes, here’s a refresher:
Thursday Thirteen: Things That Went Wrong This Week
I tell you, if it wasn’t one thing, it was another. You may have noticed this post doesn’t have my usual amenities; no banner, no photos, no Mr. Linky. There’s a reason for that. 1. The laptop stopped giving me “battery not found” error messages. I would count this a good thing if it hadn’t gone straight to the Blue Screen of Doom instead. 2. The replacement battery I ordered didn’t fix it. 3. The repair shop has yet to […]
By George! Maybe She's Guilty, Then Again….
Perceval assembled the evidence against Her Highness, and then laid out, in writing, a long, incisive defense. These were presented to a wary king who not feeling at all well. The King passed the ball to the cabinet. Whatever conclusions those worthy gentlemen arrived at would be the determining factor in whatever course of action His Majesty should choose to follow. His Majesty no doubt congratulated himself on dodging that particular bullet. When politicians get a piece of public business […]
Meltdown
Ever have one of those days? Or weeks or months? Looks like I’m in for another one. In the last week I lost my laptop, and now my desktop to bugs and glitched. The laptop is in the repair shop, with so far no word. The desktop will be soon to follow. So if you don’t hear from me today, you’ll have a good idea why.
Food
I get all kinds of carved-food pictures by email. They always astound me. These are selected from several different emails.
Don't Close the Oven Door
Don’t close the oven door when you check the temperature of your meat with one of those new fangled meat thermometers. Seriously, even if it takes five minutes for the stupid thing to reach full temperature, stand there with the door to the oven open. Cause, it doesn’t take long to ruin the thermometer.
