The (Other) End of the Internet

My mother-in-law has a strange cat. This animal occasionally decides she must be in some really strange spot. Her favorite trick is to wait until Mom has her file cabinet drawer open and then climb into it.When she does that, poor Mom has to wrestle with her to get her out.

 
This is a stunt she […]

Remember the other day, when I was complaining about the automated robots that are being used for telemarketing?
I have to wonder where those things get their information and just how stupid they think people are. We just got a call from a recording named “Jack” who called to offer us help on our outstanding credit […]

Remember a few years ago when the latest and greatest news for the average person was the “Do-Not-Call” list? It was supposed to be Uncle Sam’s way of making it clear to advertisers that telephones are not promotional products.
From what I’ve seen, the only effect it has had is that now we get 5 calls […]

It’s been a long time since I’ve had anything to do with infants on a regular basis; my youngest daughter is about to turn 14.
I had actually forgotten that you never REALLY have enough of certain things, like sleepers, crib bedding, and small towels.
I stumbled across babyearth.com while looking for crip sheets because my darling […]

Tomorrow’s the big day. I’m leaving with Daughter Number Two and we’re going to Fulton, Missouri and I’ll be returning Friday afternoon, alone. She’s moving into her dorm room at Westminster College and starting classes before long.
I’ve learned a little bit of trivia about that area. Fulton is located in Callaway county, Missouri. About 15 […]

Daughter Number Three likes silly songs. It seems that she’s always spouting lyrics to songs like, “Oh, where is my hairbrush” (from Vegie-Tales) or “Put A Banana In Your Ear” (from Who-Knows-Where).
One of her favorite artists is “Weird Al” Yankovic. I’m afraid that would be my fault. I’m the one who introduced her to songs […]

Again, I suddenly realized that it’s been over a week since I posted anything here. Honestly, I’m not as derelict in my duties as it might seem. First off, I’ve been devoting more time to my other blog, One Man’s Focus. While I know people who don’t seem to have a problem keeping up with […]

I find it amazing how people can change when you lose track of them.
I was logged in to my MySpace account this morning searching for people from my high school whom I might have known. I happened upon a couple. Gary, who could never decide between drawing comics and writing The Great American Novel is […]

I have to get this written down before I get doing something else and it escapes me.
I occasionally like to go looking around at toys I’d like to have but probably won’t be able to afford anytime in this lifetime.
This morning I saw an ad for one of those GPS thingies that tells you where […]

A few days ago I mentioned on here that by not using real names I could, for example, talk about Daughter Number Three’s acne treatment without fear of reprisal.
Well, guess what?
Daughter number Three saw that post last night. Was she impressed with my flawless logic? Did she appreciate the beautiful simplicity in my method of […]
