Yankee Doodle Dandy…Soon
Just heard that Craig Ferguson took his citizenship test yesterday and will be sworn in, in the not too distant future. I guess being a celebrity relaxes the staffers/officials somewhat for thinking back to when I took mine, I seriously doubt they would have allowed a vid-cam to be running or the TIC answers he […]
DMV: Are You Kidding??
First off, let me say I am not an organ donor. I’m not opposed to it, don’t believe it’s wrong for anyone who wishes to be one and I’m not even suggesting that I will never be one but I AM opposed to the proposal that the DMV in Delaware is hoping for a Bill […]
Cloned To The Bone
‘They’ say “you are what you eat” but just for the record that’s worrying. I don’t think I want to be. It was announced this past week cloned livestock are perfectly safe for human consumption. How do they know? Have we been eating cloned beef, pork, lamb without knowing it and without ill-effects? Not yet, I’m […]
Will Ye No’ Come Back Again?
I’m more than over this writer’s strike. Clearly, we all know what they want by now…royalties, residuals…and I’m not sure they aren’t justified. On the other hand, while they are striking shows they’ve already written for are running repeats (and no compensation, right?) while we are paying our cable, phone or satellite companies for programmes we’ve seen […]
Truck Power v. Willpower
Somewhat disappointed to say the quitting smoking…well, we haven’t. But we have cut down…me, drastically. Tried without any assist and I was loathe to wear the patch. I’d rather smoke than itch to death though I did get as far as taking a patch out of the box for after the shower one morning. It’s […]
Go, Ron Paul!
And Hurrah for Dixville Notch/Hart, NH!! Four votes may not seem much in the grand scheme of things and, of course, remains to be seen, today, how well the rest of the State will do by Paul but I’m encouraged. Of course it’s probable he will not win the nomination but it bodes well for, particularly the […]
No Drugs?
How would you react if you discovered your doctor had prescribed a placebo without telling you? Yet, ‘magically’, you felt better? I just read an article in TIME relating approximately 45% of interns at Chicago-area hosptials regularly prescribe placebos for their patients. Statistics seem to be vague on how many of these patients admit to […]
What Did You Get For Christmas
“…four maimed dogs; three scattered rugs; two shoulders wrecked and big coffee stains on carpet and couch”
We bought ourselves a Wii. And sports games. And I’m a klutz…or at least not sports (or physical activity) oriented. Maybe not even co-ordinated. Seemed like a fun idea…after all, what DO two middle-aged women want or get for Christmas that’s fun, not […]
Great While It Lasted
But today I quit. Smoking. It’s not a New Year’s resolution, as such, but it’s a good time to do it…new year, new habits (or one less than I had the last thirty years). And I’m not exactly “going gentle into this goodnight”!
Doc says smoking contributes to my HBP. Maybe…but using it as a crutch for […]
Poems, Prayers And Promises
Now it’s serious and we’re off and running. I watched the Iowa caucus tonight and realised I just don’t like feeling this cynical or disenchanted. The bright spot was seeing Ron Paul beat out Giuliani…not that it does him much good but yet to get as far as he did is encouraging. For the next time, […]
