We have at least 4 cable channels dedicated entirely to children's programming. I have stacks of cool kid's videos; Bob the Builder, Bear in the Big Blue House, SpongeBob, Winnie the Pooh...All selected for content and "age appropriate".... Guess what he wants to watch? Shrek2. For 3 days now, it's been Shrek. If I put it up, he climbs up and finds it, if I turn it off, he turns it on. He'll wait patiently for it to rewind, and watch it all over again.... and again.... and again. NANNA! A...

I do. So sick in fact, that I tend to have little fits and go around deleting all my posts. I have little patience it seems, or maybe I just lack self discipline. On my other blogsite, I once was something of a celebrity. Ranking in the top ten for every category I wrote in, and in the top five for two of those. I was witty, entertaining, and well liked among my fellow writers there. I have little taste for politics, and less for current events, so it was rare that I became engaged in c...

1oz whiskey based liquer (ie:baileys), 1oz whiskey (Brand of choice) Drink. If you're a coffaholic like me, you can add this to hot coffee, it is then called an "ulcer" If you're a wussy, toss it in a glass of milk, call it a "rolaid" Been drinking for a few hours now... yum, feelin guuuud

Passive Agressive exchange is a daily part of life in every relationship. You do (or dont do) things that irritate the other, sometimes without even realising that's your intent. Subconciously, it's all about control. The problem is, tit for tat, it always comes back to bite you in the ass. He won't put his dishes in the dishwasher, I got a cat. He won't put his laundry in the hamper, I wash his underwear last, even if it's 3 days after I started. He won't defend me against his mother...

Couldn't resist. While googling for Heidi Fleiss (just watched the movie..not bad...), I came upon an article in Rotten's library. My morbid aversion to a decent night's sleep compelled me to poke around. I found the post mortem gallery of the Hussein bros. That was harsh. I only went to Rotten once before. I saw the pic of buddy who did a faceplant off his motorcycle with no helmet, the guy who stewed in his bathtub, and some other things I've probably blocked out. Someone posted a pic from...

I'll start with storebought eggs. Perfect shape, perfect texture, perfect color. The yolks are the same size and color, and these eggs come from genetically engineered "chickens". Yum! These chickens are fed genetically engineered soy. I call them SoyChickens. You are what you eat! There is no more egg in these "eggs" than there is in dirt. They don't taste like anything anymore. The chickens are SOYturated. Yes, I agree that soy is an excellent source of protein, but it's not fit to repl...

First of all, IMO, Writer's Block is the Bogeyman. Doesn't exist. Problem is, most people can't get it out of their heads. Sleeping with the closet door locked til you're 40 is not the solution. Now, I'm no novelist, I have no deadlines to meet, and I don't rely on my writing to provide income. So you're welcome to tell me to take my opinion and stuff it. I don't mind. What I do though, is write every day. Whether I want to or not. Even if I have nothing to write about. One of my Blogit...

All this time I've been at Blogit, I've neglected the rest of the World Wide Web (is it still hip to call it that?). There's a few hundred Bloggers there, and only a handful in the high traffic categories really "exist" on the site. I suppose it's the same everywhere. I've never so much as aspired to the top ten. I don't have nearly enough bullsh*t to hand out, and I've had more fun, just playing for my audience. BTW what's the "External URL" field for?

I dread the day that I come home to find Wal*Mart milk in my refrigerator. It's bad enough that "Canada Safeway" is American owned. I'm the person who buys "Yellow Box" pasta, salad dressing and dish soap, but pays a dollar extra per dozen to have actual farm eggs. We're the Mega-LO-Mart generation. We feed the starving children in Africa through our purchases of sweat shop sweats, sneakers and christmas ornaments. Even the "brand name" designers are selling out. You can buy "Signat...

Home blogging community Sign up if you want, it's a neat place. I have several Blogs, in several different sites. I'll be amalgamating them here to expand my audience and downsize my spread.
