A while back, @TheBloggess had me ROFLMAO with her giant metal chicken story and follow up. I even put the necklace on my Wish List. So, when I went to help a friend with a little photography project, I almost ran off the road upon sighting this entire family of metal chickens in an array […]
With the support of another member (and some help from E), I volunteered to upgrade a website that was at least a decade old. Generally, pictures from 5 years ago were the most recent additions. (There are a couple of isolated exceptions.) The site can’t grow for the membership of the group in the HTML […]
At the most recent Austin No Kidding! monthly supper, we were talking about all the terrible books we “had” to read in high school. I was amazed that this group of mostly well-read people had a lot of same opinions I did on this topic. One member brought up some terrible “work” that was used […]
We see a Blue Healer cow dog “walking himself” by carrying his own leash in his mouth. He’s ready to romp and play and is trying very hard to get his owner on board with this idea. L: “That Healer needs some cows….or goats or sheep or something. What other animals get herded?” E: Whales. […]

The stems were poking me in that freakishly sensitive area behind the ear lobe. #ThatHurt So, I didn’t get to wear the Bling to the Thing, but rest assured, they are […]
If you are paying attention, you’ll notice that this post is coming to you from the not-even-wee hours of the morning. Insomnia is a bitch. Weed, that is Weeds–the Showtime series–is great for passing the time at, say, 4am. Actually, it’s more than that. It’s a great show that I never gave credit to. Of […]
While the entire healthcare industry is a racket full of it’s own bullshit, I’m going to rant blog [1] today about the dental niche. The Dental Probrem[2] We pay for dental “insurance”. Apparently, the morons who designed this system don’t understand how insurance is supposed to work. Insurance is supposed to go like this: everyone […]
I have a bridge. It’s in the front of my mouth. It’s the nemesis to my smile….and a large reason why anyone rarely finds me on “that end” of a lens. This is the hell I’ve been through…through visit 1 of 2 for my 3rd bridge. As a kid, I went to an old-school dentist. […]
While researching some blog material back in the spring, I found that Tacori was giving away an engagement ring from their new line. So, I signed up to win the beauty. I didn’t win the gorgeous ring, but I did win one of the other 99 prizes: a pair of “Jelly bean” diamond earrings in […]
