While I do not watch much college basketball during the regular season come tournament time I’m all in. Since Thursday afternoon I have spent the majority of my waking hours staring goldfish eyed at the TV and not writing. We shall return to our normally scheduled blog next week. Go Tarheels!
I’ve said many times that I have little in common with the folks I share DNA with. Certainly not looks or politics. Definitely not temperament or taste in music. I cannot remember what my sister and I talked about before she had kids- 95% of our conversations now seem to revolve around those two goofballs. It IS true my sister… Read more »
I’m not going to take it anymore! As luck would have it, today is I’m Not Going to Take it Anymore Day. That fits in perfect with what’s on my mind so I see no choice but to run with it! I’m not into making New Years Resolutions. They only lead to disappointment in February. So I don’t make them. … Read more »
After finding out I have a blog most people ask what it’s about.

Sure, I have my struggles with mental illness and a few other things, but… Read more »
In spite of my best intentions I do still get into occationsal disagreements with folks online. I konw it’s stupid to even try 99% of the time, but sometimes, like a good share of us, I see something so ridiculous that I just can’t let it go by. Today (yesterday to you readers) has been one of those days. However,… Read more »
Due to a variety of conditions including acute procrastination, clinical writer’s block, and poorplanningitus Knotty Things is taking the week off. I will be back in full force on Monday the 23. Thanks!
On Sunday afternoon I watched a video posted by a well-known social media expert (name being withheld as I’ve not asked his permission to use it). I’ve never met him personally, but my husband has several times at various social media events he’s attended over the years. This gentleman really opened up in the short video and stated that he… Read more »
