The (Other) End of the Internet

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!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 […]

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).

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 […]

A few days ago I was complaining about having to find a place to store Daughter Number Two’s elliptical machine while she is away at college.
It took everything that two of us could do, but it is now resting comfortably under a plastic tarp in the barn, right in between some horse supplies that nobody […]

I was looking at CNN’s website this morning and when saw the headline listed above I had to check twice to make sure I read it right.
To sum up the story, located here, 33 year old Tremayne Durham of New York City ordered an $18,000 ice cream truck from an Oregon company and, when […]
