A simple Yes or No will suffice

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged on May 25, 2010 | 2 Comments »

Because we actually got a fair amount of rain this year (for Southern California, that is), I found myself checking the online weather forecasts more than usual.  I was never able to decide how the numbers on a given day translated in a meaningful way for me, however.  What exactly does a 40% chance of rain mean?  And how does it differ [...]

Three cheers for good luck

I’m not 20 anymore, but I think I am.  That’s why I still climb the trees in my backyard to hang wind chimes and feeders.  I also continue to believe that securing ladders (to get up into trees) is like laying drop cloths before painting.  It’s amateurish – and shows lack of confidence.  :)  Pfft. So, the ladder tipped yesterday – and [...]

I’d rather eat my words

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , on March 17, 2010 | 10 Comments »

The last time I wrote about disgusting food, I was scolded by Sam.  He cooks professionally – and I don’t, by a long shot.  I deferred; point and match went to him.  :) Today, I’m sharing a picture from Hospital Food Photo Blog.  Now, to my untrained eye, this dish looks revolting not entirely appealing.  No amount of sriracha [...]

…and, dragging stuff out of Drafts.  Here are a few stragglers that managed to make it past the delete key.  An article about why some men love power tools. ♦ Today’s Urban Word of The Day has great potential.   recrap:  to sum up a discussion composed largely of useless bs. Person 1: “Tell me how the staff meeting [...]

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Pending Senate approval, the first week of March will become “Cuss Free Week” in California. According to sponsors of the measure —it’s more about minding the delicate sensibilities of those around you. Like your grandmother. “When we’re at our grandmother’s house,” said Anthony Portantino, D-Pasadena, “we have respect and decorum.”  Of course, some of us, and [...]

That’s crazy

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , on February 17, 2010 | 6 Comments »

So, my first Urban Word of The Day was “verbal handcuffs“; the second is also new to me.  It’s “That’s crazy,” an expression I use all the time, not realizing that it has an added meaning.   Did you know that “That’s crazy” can be “the perfect response when you haven’t been listening at all”? Them:  ”My brother got a bunch [...]

Let’s start with handcuffs

I’m so excited! Frisky even.  ;) I’ve decided that, now that my daughter is approaching her teens, it would be a good idea for me to become a bit more contemporary and learn a little street lexicon.  That’s why, over the weekend, I signed up for daily “word of the day” emails from Urban Dictionary.  Well, my first little bundle of [...]
