What's Behind Your Computer?
I’ve been monkeying around with my desktop, trying to get wireless for our household. I should have known it would mean adding even more wire. It’s getting so thick back there I can’t tell what goes where even with a flashlight. It isn’t even all that much. No scanner, no fax, no external drives. Who’d have thought a basic system would end up such a mess?
Cool, um… I mean hot food.

The Road to Death
I got this in email a long time ago, but it keeps coming to mind. I thought I’d share. *evil grin* Stremnaya Road is nicknamed “The Road of Death” And you will take no convincing as to how appropriate that is..
Cranberry Chicken
This is one of those quick and easy foods I love. The taste can take a little getting used to, but is great once you get over the idea of sweet chicken. chicken, cut up 1/4 c chopped onions 1/2 c condensed cranberry juice Place chicken pieces in a casserole dish. Sprinkle onions over the top. Pour cranberry juice over chicken and onions. Put in 350 deg oven for 45 minutes or until done. See. I told you it was […]

Suzie’s House 85: Home Sweet Home
Everything was weird. They hadn’t caught the bad guys, but all of a sudden Mom wanted him back. She wouldn’t tell him why either, but she’d glance at Drew every time Ben asked. Ben wasn’t sure if he liked Drew for making Mom take him back, or if he was still mad at him for, well, not for making him go but….. Plus there was something going on between Vin and Miranda. Maybe there was something going on there before […]

By George! How to Engineer a Royal Reconciliation.
So, in last week’s installment of By George! George III came up with a solution to all George IV’s problems. I shudder to think. The Prince must have known that his wife had the Kings ear, if not his sympathy. And Caroline gave His Majesty an earful regarding Lady Jersey. The King didn’t need to be convinced of Lady Jersey’s disruptive influence. The Queen had been relating stories to him gathered from a wide cross section of sources. For His […]
Plus a Penny
I’ve bought a lot of Papa Murphies pizza over the last few years. I’m down there so often they know me by name. I almost always use a coupon, which brings the price to something like $7.99 or $9.99 or some such. This means if I give them a $10 bill, or $8.00, or whatever, they owe me a penny. Just a penny. I do this frequently. What gets me is that they always ask me if I want the […]

To see previous episodes click on the highlighted words, or on the Suzie’s House category in my side bar. Sean grinned as he dropped into the front seat of a 68 Camero. Some idiot actually left it out on the street without locking it. Admittedly it was a rusted bucked of bolts, but it was a classic bucket of bolts.. He smashed […]

I meant to put something in it – […]
By George! What is a Prince to Do?
When we left off last week, Lady Jersey had received the cut direct in a way even she could not ignore. What did Prince George think of it? If the Prince believed this whole fuss would eventually go away if he kept his head down, he like Lady Jersey, was in for a nasty shock. The Prince’s behavior was beginning to draw public criticism onto the whole family. Princes and princesses, the King and Queen, were all taking heat for […]
