This is one I celebrated a lot in the 80s. It’s Bad Poetry Day! Yes, I wrote awful, angst-filled crap as a teen. No, I don’t have it any more and even if I did you would never see it. Today I’m more interested in this form of content vs. poetry which is good news for everyone. But if you… Read more »
I’ve been talking about for ages. I have been planning for even longer (2 years to be exact). One month from today Pat and I will be in Iceland. It doesn’t seem like it can possibly be true. It’s been so far away for so long. We’ve gotten passports. We’ve booked flights and and a hotel. We’ve booked day trips. … Read more »
Here’s one most of us celebrate without even realizing it- it’s National Underwear Day! Whether you prefer thongs or grannie panties, boxers or briefs, 96% of men and 98% of women wear underwear every day. And I gotta ask- what is up with you weirdos who don’t?!? Some stores give away underwear today so it wouldn’t hurt to see if… Read more »
I’m petty enough my original list of 5 doesn’t even begin to cover all the things I care about far too much to be psychologically healthy. I am aware that doesn’t paint me in the best light, but I don’t care. These are my hill and these are my beans (bonus points if you get the movie reference). #1 The… Read more »
I forget what I was looking for on YouTube at the time, but the other day I came across the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a LONG time. It’s called Pettichat and it’s from a Chinese company called Meng Xiao Yi. It’s supposedly a pet-to-human AND human-to-pet translator that works with cats and dogs. It costs $150 plus shipping. No,… Read more »
It’s a really good thing that I have a long weekend for July 4th because I’m still recovering from the previous one. I’ve said many times that the older I get the more I enjoy not going out. That is mostly true. But there are events and places and people that I want to show up for. And several of… Read more »
Today isn’t a national day- it’s a global day! Welcome to Global Belly Button Day! Of course everyone knows there are 2 types of belly buttons- innies and outies. But did you also know there are 3 shapes? They are round, oval vertical, and oval horizonal. I personally am an innie, oval vertical. Which I’m sure you wanted to know… Read more »
Here is one that I don’t celebrate nearly as often I should- it’s eat your vegetables day. I don’t have to explain why it’s important to eat your veggies. The majority of us don’t eat enough even though we know we should. Maybe, just for today, we can do better? Yeah, I probably won’t either.
To survive in polite society we need to tell a few white lies. We don’t tell people when we think their baby is ugly or the real reason we skipped that Tupperware party. But then there are things that I’m convinced no one actually likes but we are all too polite to say so. Well, I’m not. #1 Being in… Read more »
I’ve spent plenty of time talking about big issues that are important to and I will continue to do so. Things like support for the LBGTQ+ community, mental health awareness, and what Christianity is all about. Today is not one of those days. Today is about the smaller issues that I’m far too passionate about. The things that make no… Read more »
