  • Pillow Fight

    My asthmatic family uses fiber-fill. Gary’s Irish / German family uses feathers. Pillows are a big issue here. I lost the pillow fight before I ever started: when we married I was younger than Gary’s pillow. He didn’t sleep on it though, he just kept it around like all his retired pillows. Maybe someday technology…

  • Troopid

    An “Out of Area” telemarketer convinced me to pick up just by his persistence. “Hello, I’m with the Missouri State troopers.Ma’am, perhaps you’ve heard of our “Slow Down, Move Over” campaign.” “No.” I haven’t, I thought, Are there billboards?

  • Flagstaff, Barstow, San Bernadino

  • Tonight in TV

    I was watching Ghostbusters tonight with Gary, and I was bored, because I’ve seen Ghostbusters. Gary, on the other hand, can watch a movie one day and watch it again the next. He says he’s so forgetful, every viewing it’s like a new movie. That wasn’t his excuse for watching True Blood Sunday evening, then…

  • My New Scheme

    I have a new scheme, a money-making scheme. I think everyone is aware of how Fung Shui “works” – it focuses the user what he or she wants. Every time you see the fish in your Financial Success Bagua, you think “Why is there a fish tank my kitchen – oh, it’s for good luck…
