I want a ZAT gun.

Any Stargate fans out there? Huh? You know what I mean if you watch the show. If not, it’s a wonderful little gadget that can stun, kill, or disintegrate. I like that last one, myself. You have to shoot three times to do that: I would take great pleasure in pulling that trigger right now.

Speakin’ Greek…or Geek

Under the heading of, “It has to be HIS idea,” more moments of zen.
Last week, when we discovered that the shower floor had a dip in it, making one side of the base 3/4″ off level, I suggested we use thinset (a kind of mortar used for tiling shower walls and such) in order to [...]

Things I didn’t say today. Take Three.

“You called me to see how I’m doing? Yeah, right. How many of my kidneys do you really want?”
“Any sentence you let me complete would be nice…”
“You are a spoiled little prick.”
“Next time, be sure to tell the same story the exact same way. Twentieth time’s a charm, and I hate change.”

OK, 5 more things you might not know about me.

If you believe ALL [...]

Forget the road not taken…there was a turn?

I missed my life. Somewhere in high school, I should have taken a step or made a choice or learned something that would have sent me down the path I was supposed to take. Instead, I am in a pseudo-existence, trapped and drowning. I just don’t know how to make this work anymore. Woe is [...]

No runs, no drips, no errors. Almost.

Five years ago, I bought a new shower. At the time, I actually had a guy who came in to clean a couple of times a month, and well, he was really good at stashing. You know what I mean: rather than actually throwing things away, he enabled my packrat tendencies a little too well.  He did [...]

Don’t tell ME we need a woman for President…

I just spent a day absolutely beside myself, distraught to the point of wailing over a leaky faucet. I will take a man who loves his cigars in the White House over a hormonal female ANY day.
Now, before you get your knickers all knotted, I am not suggesting that women are not qualified to hold [...]
