Whoa, that’s quite ballsy. I’m thinking that long-term it is for the best. The short-term sure sucks though.

Thanks Melanie for passing along the tragic story at A Pile of Dog Bones. They just lost their 5 year old son in a swimming pool accident. I would imagine that words of support are …

I’m sick of Matt Lauer calling me names. We get along well enough over coffee every morning, though our conversations can be a little one-sided. However, over …

Snort!
Fantastic news!
And set to the best song we danced to at our wedding, I have to agree.
Sometimes just being there really is enough.
Go give some assvice about blogging.
Behold the power of the internet, but I …

Totally ditto!
Excellent!

Yay — I love good news.

I’ve been sort of tired and cranky lately (shut up), and when I saw Melissa’s latest post my mood shifted right into pissed off. She’s been posting about trying to sell her house and how …

Hell yeah!!!

Guest post by In the Trenches of Mommyhood.
Recently my Hubby went on a (fingerquote) business trip. I say that mockingly, because for his occupation, a (fingerquote) business trip entails schmoozing, schmoozing and yet more …

Um. Wow.
I remember this feeling very well. Please hang in there.
Very good advice.
OH THE HUMANITY.
I disagree. I like to get my Jesus on with sweaty speed freaks.
Yeah.
Bull shit indeed.

You know me, I love a good bargain, and I spend a lot of time scouring the net to find the best deals for myself. I’ve often thought about posting my finds here, but it …

I love a good list — and this one is so helpful.
Everybody say aw…
Cheers!

Today’s the day — good luck!
Truly gutting news. I don’t know what else to …

It’s like fucking Wild Kingdom over here. Our cat — a completely defective piece of nature — was discovered eating a dead bird under my dining room table. Mike found this lovely scene, nicely accented …

Lately I’ve been reading complaints from bloggers which contain phrases like “I won’t go into detail” and I wonder… Are folks feeling limited by friends, family or co-workers who read their blog? That’s a rough …

Erin is right, you have to read this. And I dare you to not snort so hard you swallow your tongue.
Hey, I was there in 1984 too! That was an amazing show. I saw Bowie …

Recall: earrings from Kmart for lead.
Nice, big baby coming soon!
Hear hear! Alternatively, anyone looking for a furry new friend?
Agreed. Lately I’ve been happy if I just remember to brush my hair.

Some spam I get is hilarious and well worth the irritation. For example:
Try Penis Enlarge Patch once and be happy for the rest of your life.
“Once” ? Really? That is one hell of a patch.
