Not that Anyone Asked…

but here’s my take on this whole Miley Cyrus controversy.
I’ll make this short.  Who do I blame? 
HER PARENTS.
The night I saw her do her thing on the CMT awards, I said to anyone who would listen (read that The Sub and The Junior) that her parents should be taking notes from the Britney Spears story [...]

Things I Hate…

10-year-old girls with chunky ‘highlights,’ so their hair is brown and RED and BLONDE, in BIG stripes.  Like there isn’t enough time when she is, say…16…to have tri-colored hair that her mother will have to pay for.
6-year-old girls in halter tops that accentuate their not-even-there-yet boobs.  Again, plenty of time for that later, Mom.  As [...]

The Joys of 44

I’ve been 44 since February 8.  I’ve been ‘in my 40s’ for a while now.  I have friends in their 40s, as well. 
So, when I began to experience…things that were not…pleasant…once I reached this pinnacle…I decided to keep it quiet.  When the maps of spidery veins showed up on my ankles, looking something like this [...]

First, can we address the American Idol travesty that happened tonight?  Can we?  Okay, if you haven’t watched yet, this is where you click the X.
I will be the first one to say that I love and adore Jason Castro.  I think his dreds are cute and I think his eyes are gorgeous and his [...]

I am currently in the throes of Water Bug War ‘08.  It happens every year about this time, when it gets so fucking hot so quick that the water bugs go all apeshit and decide that NOW is the time to invade.  It’s maddening, but I’ve lived in Texas for now…37-plus years…so, I’m all about [...]

The Dane Story

Here are the Danes.  The one on the left, that’s the Dark one…the one that runs around this place.  The one on the right, the Light one…he belongs to my friend The Teacher and runs around on the other side of the tracks.  The guys have been best buds since they were in diapers.  One [...]

So…question

My Junior has taken a job at a local ice cream place where you can also get a cheeseburger doused in barbecue sauce…and this place of employment has an assistant manager named Shiloh who regarly doesn’t let my Junior leave at her time to get off. 
Now, I understand some minutes to finish up an order, [...]

Happy Birthday, Mom

It’s hard to believe that my little fierce German dynamo, all 5′4″ of her, has been gone from this earth for now just over 13 years.  I was 31 when she passed away and the Junior, just a little bitty thing of 3.  It’s hard for me to know that she doesn’t really remember much [...]

To No One in Particular…

It didn’t bother me that you were gay.  It did bother me that you denied my existence.
If you just say to me, right this second, stay with me, I will.
Thank you for sacrificing your whole life for me.
It was over for me the day you told me you were used to [...]

Stepdogs…srsly???

Okay, for real, people, I am NOT one of these folks that refer to DAWGS as people.  I just don’t.  It doesn’t mean I don’t love my dogs…it just means that I recognize that very, very fine line between human and CANINE. 
So, imagine my very own surprise when I heard these words come out of [...]
