So it looks like my computer has bought the farm and is no longer with us. There are some sales going on around me, so hopefully I can find something this weekend. I must admit, I feel very lost without it. How sad is that? Keep your fingers crossed that I’ll be up and running again by Monday. March 30th in History… 1822 – Florida became a US territory 1842 – Dr. Crawford Long – 1st physician to use ether as anesthetic 1858 –...  Read More »

So apparently my home computer needed to get its life in order. It decided to crash last night, and now needs to go to rehab. He’ll probably take the bed left vacant by Britney Spears. Anyway, I’m doing my best to get things up and running again (I’m writing this from my computer at my office job), so bare with me. On this day in 1998 thousands of American men began to get their boners back, thanks to the FDA approving the wonder drug Viagra. Sildenafil,...  Read More »

I find it interesting that the clips of the Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell brawl seem to be getting more air play than the scuffles between the Democratic candidates for president. What does Hillary have to say that can surpass Isaiah Washington’s comments about Patrick Dempsey and T.R. Knight? If Mayor Giuliani can learn to drop as many F-Bombs as Eminem, then mainstream America will listen. Lindsay and Hillary. Lindsay and Paris. Paris and Nicole....  Read More »

Actress Cameron Diaz is what they call “scary pretty.” She is a living, breathing testament to the plain and simple fact that there’s a paper-thin line between gorgeous and hideous. With her high cheekbones, prominent mouth and a nose that must have once belonged to a prizefighter in another life, this woman can walk with her chin held high in both universes – the one for ugly people and the one for the beautiful members of the species. I think she’s...  Read More »

Ok, first thing’s first. My sister had her baby today. A boy. I’m VERY happy and excited to meet the little guy when I go to Oregon next month. Today’s interesting facts are brought to you by my new friend Rhobby. A very funny man, full of random information and hilarious ideas. I free myself of all responsibility if any of the facts are wrong in any way, by the way. *The awesome product, WD-40, was invented at a Bremerton, WA shipyard, where...  Read More »

Our favorite red headed Hollywood drunk has been seen out and about lately, partying like a rock star. Exactly what a person should be doing right out of rehab, don’t you think? Although Lindsay Lohan has not recently been photographed with booze in her hand, she has taken up chain smoking and a nice addiction to Red Bull. But don’t worry, she’s still showing off her lady parts. It’s nice to know a stint in rehab doesn’t change everything. What would...  Read More »

I saw Donald Trump in San Francisco on Sunday, at the Real Estate and Wealth Expo, put on by the Learning Annex. He’s actually quite entertaining in person. Has a potty mouth too. Which was just fine by me. I learned a lot. Including that Donald Trump is one ugly dude. He also likes children and seems to be good with them. When asked by an 11-year-old girl how she could promote herself as an actress, he gave her a big smile said she was pretty and obviously...  Read More »

For most Americans, St. Patrick’s Day is an excuse to get trashed. As if we really needed another excuse…can we say “Super Bowl Sunday”? But for the Irish, St. Patrick’s Day actually means something – with customs and traditions, recipes and crafts, and of course history. In honor of this GREEN day, I give you quotes from some famous Irishmen. “Nothing is funnier than unhappiness.” – Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) Endgame (1958) “Satire...  Read More »

Angelina Jolie has adopted another child; this time a 3-year-old boy from Vietnam. Although his birth name is Pham Quang Sang, Angelina has changed it to Pax Thien Jolie — “Pax” is Latin for “peace” and “Thien” means “sky” in Vietnamese. Video Clip As wonderful as I think it is that Angelina Jolie has the ability to extend her life and open her heart to children who so desperately need it, I can’t...  Read More »

After you read this, I’m sure you’ll agree that the expression “going bananas” comes from the effects bananas have on the brain. Bananas contain three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with...  Read More »

DON’T FORGET TO SET YOUR CLOCKS AHEAD ONE HOUR SATURDAY NIGHT!! Daylight Savings time is three weeks early this year. The chaotic world of Hollywood seems to have slowed a bit since Britney Spears entered rehab (for the 3rd time in as many days) and Anna Nicole Smith was finally put into the ground. But fear not! There is still stuff going on. Speaking of Anna Nicole…her cause of death has yet to be revealed and will be delayed longer because “new...  Read More »

Fortunately, Seventh Generation, a green paper products and cleaning supplies company, actually thinks about this stuff and will donate a box of sanitary products to a women’s shelter in your chosen state –...  Read More »

When I saw the following headline, my immediate reaction was, “Well duh!” Gingrich had affair during Clinton probe In an interview with conservative Christians the other day, the former Speaker of The House admitted to cheating on his wife during the time he was leading the pack to oust President Clinton, who, in case you don’t remember, was persecuted for cheating on his wife with intern Monica Lewinsky. During the interview, given by James...  Read More »

I believe that if you can’t laugh at yourself, you can’t laugh at anything. Fortunately I find myself laughing at me often. Last night was no exception. Imagine if you will, a subdivision in the middle of basically nothing, where all the houses look the same. There is no on street parking, but one particular BMW with a custom plate doesn’t seem to know this rule. If you were to look at this place from above, it would look like a target, with parks and...  Read More »

10. God worried that Adam would be lost in the garden and he wouldn’t ask for directions. 9. God knew that, someday, Adam would need someone to hand him the TV remote. (Parenthetically, it has been noted that men don’t want to see what’s ON TV, they want to see what ELSE is on.) 8. God knew that Adam would never make a doctor’s appointment. 7. God knew that, when Adam’s fig leaf wore out, he would never buy a new one for himself. 6....  Read More »

After the night, the morning, bidding all darkness cease, after life’s cares and sorrows, the comfort and sweetness of peace.

Anna Nicole Smith’s body has been transported to the Bahamas for her burial today. Although she will finally be in the ground (I wonder how nasty her corpse is), she will still not be resting in peace. The battle continues. According to the news blurb I just heard, Daniel’s biological father is now in the mix. He wants Daniel’s body to be exhumed (gross) and sent to Texas — along with Anna’s body — for burial together there....  Read More »
