Siblings, in-laws or close friends might be the source of a current drama that begs for your involvement. However, if the circumstances are peripheral to you, it may be best to keep them that way. Your worry over something that doesn’t directly concern you could be motivated by your own unresolved issues. It’s best not [...]

  First off, let me lay out who am to the degree that you can get some context. I’ve been blogging for five years, participating in forums two years longer than that, and using the Internet for eleven years. I had a career as a licensed clinical professional counselor prior to health issues which are [...]

(Above) Brad On Tuesday in Nice  Though Angelina Jolie’s Caesarean section birth to twins in a French hospital is not scheduled until next Tuesday, the actress-charity worker sounds as if she’s ready to get it over with now. While staff praised her her extreme politeness when she first arrived, after a week spent confined to the 4-room suite in the [...]

People are funny in that they are so predictable–and I’m not exempt. Mozilla releases a *new* browser and it of course, is not perfect. But what?! Not perfect!??? As in may screw up, may inconvenience, may annoy, may cause unfriendly sentiments towards Mozilla? Yup. But not from me. In that way I refuse to be [...]

Every new “Today” seems more anxious than ever. Do you find more solace in “Yesterday” or “Tomorrow”? Why? Solace: comfort in sorrow, misfortune, or trouble; alleviation of distress or discomfort. Find solace in yesterday? No. Tomorrow? Tomorrow is probably what I need solace from, lol. Today is as anxious as I allow it to be. [...]

  I have no self control. I’m heading downstairs to watch Battlestar Galactica instead of going to bed. I hated that it was off for two weeks and I’m really hating that it’s the last season and I’m depressed because work is way down and TypePad which I’ve always loved is FUBAR and unlike their [...]

Eliot Spitzer’s resignation had been widely expected since he said on Monday that he had acted in a way that violated any sense of right or wrong.An FBI investigation has implicated Mr Spitzer in the alleged use of a $1000-an-hour prostitution ring. He has apologised, but without giving details. Married with three teenage daughters, Mr [...]

Man, it totally has not helped that spouse brought home a bunch of Girl Scout Cookies including the new ones this year that I’d heard are good. And they are good. Damn it. Just call me the Cookie Monster. I wonder if they are still called Girl Guides in Canada. Let’s get them a link, [...]

“The Clintons are in a difficult position,” said Dennis Goldford, a political science professor at Drake University in Iowa, who has tracked the presidential race. “If she wins the Democratic presidential nomination, she would need Obama’s supporters. But she needs to be careful. If this talk of him on the ticket is seen as a [...]

Think of 10 Internet years ago compared to today. Remember when AOL was a major player, Google was a quaint-looking but fast growing start-up, Pets.com–remember them with the talking puppet commercials on television? No one really knew what Amazon.com was, people become dot.com millionaires overnight. They were flush with success as were so many other [...]

Overnight it seems my entire face has decided to shed and it’s awful. Well, not horrible awful but definitely awful-looking. Actually, I could look at this as a good thing in that it is a signal that Spring is on the way. I’m not sure “how” my face knows this but with the major season [...]

It must be hormonal. I am beside myself with anger and I just do not know where it is coming from. Strike that. I might know. The pressure of spouse working 7 -days a week doesn’t just fall on him. Everything he would be doing if he were working a “normal” week is falling either [...]

It’s crazy-icy outside and we have some rough terrain, here in the heart of the ‘burbs where there are no street lights in some areas–and the sidewalks remain unshoveled through the 0F days through 60F like today, and the 20F it’s supposed to be tomorrow. But we walk the dog ever night and did I [...]

Why is it that because I work at home that I’m treated like I’m just hangin’ out here at the computer maybe chatting online (which I don’t do, period) or emailing (which I’d like to do but don’t have time for) or I dunno, filing my nails at my work station, which I will admit [...]

What aspect of your personality could use a little work? Aspect–that’s singular, right? Picking one is very hard to do. OK. Let’s get on with it. My tunnel vision. Sometimes this works for me but just as often against me. Maybe it’s more a singular vision–when I am determined to accomplish something of import I [...]

It seems spouse is now coming down with the flu. He’s quite cranky feeling run down and worst, there’s flu at his work and myself and youngest son were struck as well. This flu seems to be taking lots of prisoners. And, according to a news report spouse forwarded me, Tamiflu won’t do any good [...]

Lindsay Lohan posed nude as Marilyn Monroe in the spring fashion issue of New York Magazine. Do you think recreating Monroe’s last photo shoot before her 1962 death was a good career move for Lindsay? Lindsay recently paired up with photographer Bert Stein to recreate his legendary 1962 nude shoot with Marilyn Monroe. The photos [...]

Oi. It’s a another single digit night with winds from 15-25 mph! I know it makes my life seem very boring and small–and really I don’t find it boring–but I was so looking forward to being in a routine of a walking each night again after nine long nights of me either being too sick-or [...]

Why is it that sometimes family members feel that they do not have to extend the same verbal courtesies to one another as they would to their friends or even strangers? It’s really starting to gnaw at me that as as much as I love my sibling, he’s incredibly rude to me at times. It’s [...]

For the past 8 days I did nothing really but be sick. Today I: Changed all the towels and started and finished a wash. Spouse folded whilst he watch teevee as I was back on the ‘puter by then. I made delicious Banana-berry smoothies for younger son and I and they came out perfectly! This [...]

Despite appearances to the contrary I am still here. This is day six of  being truly sick. Right now, though usually I wouldn’t bore you with the details, I’ll list ‘em: Both ears are clogged. I am hearing myself as if I’ve got  earplugs in–but I can’t take ‘em out! I have a deep, barking cough with [...]

and the sentiment behind it cracks me the heck up! (photo by Gnal) A small but vocal minority on Flickr are already staging online protests at the prospect of a Microsoft takeover. Flickr is one of several popular Web 2.0 websites owned by Yahoo that loyal users fear will suffer under Microsoft ownership. As soon [...]

I’d rather try to photo blog winter than talk about it. You understand. I have a new photo install–”Yapb” and I have no idea–yet–how it works. I thought I did but…/Edit: I give. I have still not found a photo editor that works, seamlessly, more or less. It appears I have yet another steep learning [...]

Pre-dog walking, checking to see if it was at all civilized to go out in. Hard to tell from my craptastic video skills but no, it was not. The weather outside has been frightening! Seriously. I’m not going to walk the dog when the wind is 30 MPH and the temp is 9F. I am [...]

Oh my goodness, I just about had a panic attack just now. I’ve been installing things, mostly “widgets” on two WordPress blogs all day, tweaking things. And then I started getting a Google pop-up about a navigational key that I needed to procure from the GOOG themselves. Out of curiosity I went to see if [...]
