Troubles Only For a Time

.

Last Wednesday, I was upset because I got an email notification from Hulu.com that several vitally important shows were about to expire from my queue - without me having time to watch them ! Six episodes of HOARDERS would be gone forever if I didn't make a major change in my Castleville-addicted lifestyle ! (a Facebook game ( Read more... )

See, Ashley? I TOLD you when you have two kids that they get up earlier than you do, and have secret planning meetings to turn your day into a maelstrom of little emergencies.

 Condiment Calling

Seriously, my innate stupidity knows no bounds.  I'm also a complete moron with any form of technology (one of the few things I share with my gender).

I've lived a pretty backwards life because of control, and then poverty, so it's not that surprising to me that I'm not up on the greatest and newest.   But when you can't even “ ( Read more... )

An Awkward Position?

Either my son or I need a clearer cell phone, or maybe I'm getting old-lady hearing.  I keep misunderstanding bits of his sentences, and well..... you just don't want to leave me to my own imagination as to what I heard.  I sure hope it's our phones.   I'd better be a whole lot older than this before my hearing goes, or I'm ( Read more... )

Logging onto Yahoo, I noticed one of those fluffy articles that try to pass as important or news. This one was on "America's Most Shark-Infested Beaches".

Dah-dump. Dah-dump. Dah-dum dum dump, Dah-dum dum dump..........

Since I moved here 20 years ago, Michiganders have tried to brag to this New Englander that Michigan has more coastline than ( Read more... )

I think I might have a problem.

I opened a tab for Hulu.com, to watch TV on my laptop, and the number of items in my queue is a whopping 653 !!    I set out wondering, wow, how long will that take to watch?   Assuming each entry was an hour (which they're not all, since some will be excerpts, and I delete those), that would be a monstrous 26.45 ( Read more... )

Inappropriate Eating - an odd observation

Watching a law show on Hulu right now, and 2 defense lawyers are discussing strategy about a murder case at a restaurant.  Has anyone ever thought how WEIRD this is in our society nowadays?   Not just law issues, but big business deals, breakups, plots to kill someone - all taking place at Applebee's or ( Read more... )

 Block Training - Supplemental

The Personal Marching Band

I was enjoying a few funny pranks on YouTube from the TV show JustForLaughsTV, when I stumbled up on this one.   It's harmless and funny, and wouldn't cause anyone a fright, like some of theirs.   But as I was watching it, I was impressed (or rather NOT impressed) with the inadequacy of the ( Read more... )

Computer Withdrawal -

I dropped off my laptop at Best Buy at the close of business Monday. The touch pad wasn’t working. I had disabled it previously, because I would invariably touch it with my hand or arm and it would move the typing cursor and I wouldn’t notice for the longest time that I was typing new stuff in the middle of a previous ( Read more... )
