Putting the TMI in absentminded

  • I Again Embarrass Myself at Lunch

    Our lunch conversation wandered around. What did “F-A-B” stand for on Thunderbirds, that was one topic. Steve had slandered Marcia on Twitter. Aborted fetuses in artificial sweetener. Pythons eating alligators. Things we heard on the news. I mentioned that game they have in Southeast Asia now called “Angry Brides” that discourages dowries. That story caught…

  • As Jon Stewart Might Say, “Roll 220”

    One day Mom said something odd. She shared a quote she’d read, something about “how a daughter’s job is to agree with the mother’s version of the family history.” I believe I gave her the snake-eye with the eyebrows all askew. It seemed quite out of place. She wasn’t dying, and it wasn’t prompted by…

  • The Issue That Made Me A Republican

    I’ve been a life-long liberal, but it seems the weekly Debate Show starring Rick, Ron, Mitt and Newt has begun to influence me. And today I heard some news that has swung me hard into the “No Big Government” camp. I read about Big Government making some regulations that are beyond the pale. There is…

  • Massive Stones

    The image above is of a person under some largish pinkish-brown stones at Missouri’s own Elephant Rocks State Park. It is an image of stones as massive as our President’s, evidenced below. When Gary and I were watching the intro to the State of the Union, we did notice the President congratulating some head of…

  • State of the Boobies

    I can’t be the only one who saw the First Lady at the State of the Union tonight and thought “Ouch.” Her boobies. They were flattened. I mean, she looked great, in a pre-pubescent way, but that must have hurt to have the First Boobies strapped down with Spanx or whatever got her into that…

  • Gary Update

    Gary returned to the neurologist today. I wasn’t there, but Gary was careful in the re-telling to clarify what the doctor actually said (as opposed to what Gary extrapolated). Gary shared with the doctor what he thought was good news. The last few weeks he’s been feeling better. For example, he hasn’t had to wear…

  • Spy Dog

    Well, after much experimentation (and abandoning the inaccurate instructions) I got the dog spy camera up and running. I regret to say that of 40 photos, only three were not of the darkness between the dog’s chest hair and his pillow. Also, the dog camera doesn’t work too well at night with low light. I…

  • I Thought it Was My Fault

    I learned something about MS from Mitt and Ann Romney via the Ladies with Multiple Sclerosis for Newt Gingrich Facebook page. Mitt Romney revealed to Chris Wallace on Fox: [After Mrs. Romney’s MS diagnosis] “She said ‘I can’t cook any more’ … And I said, look, I don’t care what the meals are like. You…

  • A Link I Must Share

    Thanks be to Magpie Musing for sending this my way. The premise is that Mitt Romney did not have the “sack” to dump his wife when she got MS. We need a president who will drop-kick that dead weight and move on! Like Newt! Go here and enjoy the darkness.
