It’s Sunday night. In between cheering for the Vikings and screaming obscenities at the Dolphins (YOU LOST TO THE JETS??? REALLY????) I was engaged in several “debates” on social media over the comments the president made on Friday regarding the NFL ( I’m not going to dignify those awful statements by repeating them, but you know what I’m referring to)… Read more »
While I normally make these “unusual holiday” posts lighthearted and perhaps even humorous, today we take a moment to the devastating disease that is Alzheimer’s. Most of us know someone who have or had some form of this condition. For me it’s very personal because there is a significant history in both my mother’s and my father’s families. Because I’m,… Read more »
With the first weekend of the NFL regular season underway there is a lot to be excited about (unless you are a Jets fan- ha). The radio talk shows have record numbers of fans calling in to complain about their team- often even if they won! Fantasy leagues are in full swing and some of us are already wondering about… Read more »
The time for sugar-coating is over. In light of recent events its high time to just come out and say it- President Donald Trump has no idea what he is doing and the entire world could pay for it. Now to be clear, I am not blaming the folks who voted for Trump for his inability to be a President…. Read more »
And here I thought Pizza Day was the best one ever! Nope- it gets even better. Today is International Child Free Day. Not just in Iowa. Not just in the United States. The entire planet is celebrating the phenomenon that is a child free person today! This celebration was first held in 1973 sponsored by the National Organization for Non-Parents… Read more »

Some people feel so strongly about their positions on certain topics that they engage folks who believe otherwise in discussion. There is nothing wrong with healthy debate. It’s one of our rights as US citizens. However, like anything else, there… Read more »
There are some words that a lot of people hate. Moist. Panties. Munch. Fester. Vomit. Snatch. Those words don’t bother me too much, but, like everyone else, I do have my own set of words that make me want to shove pencils and/ or knitting needles into my ears. Here are my top 5 in no particular order: #5 Secrete…. Read more »

I am the first to admit there are a lot of things I don’t know. Some areas of study- such as the architecture of ancient China or Greek mythology- just don’t interest me. On the flip side, there are topics I do know a lot about, including 80’s music, human biology, and labels and nameplates. I came upon this… Read more »
As luck would have it, today is World Environment Day, which melds perfectly with what’s on my mind, which is President Trump’s announcement that he wishes to pull out of the Paris Climate Agreement. I say “wishes to” because it turns out it’s a little more complicated than just saying “I want out”- something Trump himself appears to be completely… Read more »
