Did you read what happened last night? Pretty funny, huh? Here’s a little update.

Today is Monday and Mondays SUCK!! But as bad as you think your day is going, keep in mind that it could be so much worse. In a hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11:00 am, regardless of their medical condition. This puzzled the doctors and [...]

We all know the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears – little girl breaks into home, eats bear food, goes through bear belongings, falls asleep in bear beds.

Today is St. Patrick’s Day – the one day of the year when we can all be Irish. In order to be the best Irish person you can, however, you [...]

A Case Of The Mondays Doesn’t Even Begin To Describe It.

I had every intention of doing a detailed Grammy’s post tonight, but I just don’t think it’s going to happen. Today was a Monday in every horrible sense of the word. I awoke with an anxiety attack, which tends to happen a lot on Mondays – probably because my alarm is a reminder of how much [...]

No, it didn’t happen today. Don’t you think it would have been on the news? The totally crazy (and extremely hot) flood happened on January 15, 1919. From History.com: Fiery hot molasses floods the streets of Boston on this day in 1919, killing 21 people and injuring scores of others. The molasses burst from a huge tank [...]

This is hilarious. Leave it to someone from the San Francisco Bay Area to use Craigslist in such an innovative way.

Man, I have a headache; the spots look like marshmallows. So I came home this evening, with my head throbbing, and discovered that my dog is a bit under the weather. I’m actually not sure what her problem is, but there seems to be a sensitive spot on her side that makes her yelp if pressed [...]

A full standing prime rib is 7 ribs, about 15 pounds, and large enough to feed up to 14 people. Prime rib is “standing” when the bones are included in the roast, allowing the roast to stand by itself. It’s important to keep in mind that just because you have “prime” rib, it doesn’t mean that [...]

I would love to list all the different hours for all the different stores open on Christmas Day, but that would take far too long and quite frankly, I’d rather sit on my couch and watch Scrooged with Bill Murray – my all time favorite Christmas movie. So instead, I’ll just give you a heads up [...]
