Death Via Facebook

By -
Sometimes having a super cool phone that keeps you connected ain't all that it is cracked up to be.

While I am on facebook I'm hardly ever on facebook.

I got an email tonight from someone named Cheryl who was looking for Michele there but found me instead.

It took me a long time to respond. There was only one thing I could say.

I gave her the address of the blog I started and let her know Michele had died earlier this year.

It was just an odd way to start the new year.

54 MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS A YEAR

By -
this has been pissing me off for a long time so tonight i decided to use my ancient portable computer machine to save the government 54 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR (and yes I am sure I am not the first person to run these numbers) Drop congressional and presidential and VP salaries from 174K and above to 100K each (hey they still have to eat) Charge members of the house and senate who live in their damn office $1000.00 a month rent, up the gym membership from $20.00 to $1020.00 a month and for ex members $5000.00 a month (hey K street will pay it for the access) Ex Presidents? NO PENSION FOR YOU YOU ARE ALREADY RICH (and for the exes this figure does not include staff salaries etc etc) Since I am bad with "teh google" this doesn't count what we pay for their health care. Lets let them pay for their own damn insurance 54 million. A lot of money. Pell grants anyone? Or how about repaying Social Security? Or a whole lot of other uses for "our" money we give these

Lessons in Bad Parenting: Lesson 6

We'll call this one "Kids are really freaking stupid." I would like suggestions as to an alternate name for The Boy in light of yesterday's events. I like the way that DCup changes the name of her youngest Spawn depending on behavior--from Cupcake to Resident Evil. I want something along those lines. The Boy plays all the time, every chance he gets, with the boy down the street. His name is Cesar and I've mentioned him before. Cesar lives exactly three doors down from us on our side of the street. So, we don't really worry about The Boy heading on down there on his own. As a matter of fact, The Boy has very definite limits to his ability to roam. He's allowed exactly from one speed bump just the south of our house to the speed bump just north of our house. That's the extent of his free area all of which is easily within eye shot of our front porch. See below: Yesterday, The Boy went out at about 3:30 or so to go play with Cesar. At 4:00, Ces

Maybe It Is Time To Stop Being Angry

By -
My sister Sheri sent me one of "those" books on death and dying and blah blah blah with a nice note saying it really had helped her deal with Michele's death. I was telling a friend about the book tonight and he asked if I was going to read it. "No I'm not done being angry yet." I answered. Tonight I complimented myself on how profound I was for knowing this about me. Wow I've got this all under control. Process step B underway. No problems here. And then I really thought of something. I'm afraid if I stop being angry I won't have anything left. I know something else is there I just can't seem to see it right now. Michele would SO kick my ass if she saw me doing this.
