Why I Love Porn
Sunday, May 23rd, 2010
No, I don’t love porn, but lots of people do. So, my question is, why do you love porn? Most men will say it turns them on, gets them hot, makes them horny. They love watching these women perform an amazing array of sex acts with obvious enjoyment. Well, let me burst that bubble right now. Many of these women are not even women; they’re girls. (more…)

I’m More Spiritual Than You
Friday, May 14th, 2010
This post is probably going to make me some enemies; so be it. But, I have to ask: what is up with the hyper-religiosity? It really, really makes me uncomfortable when people want to talk about their religious beliefs, what and whom I should pray for, how God is looking out for them. Not that I suggest they stop believing what they believe.
Just don’t tell me about it. (more…)

Don’t Text Me!
Thursday, April 29th, 2010
What is it with people and texting? Yes, I do it sometimes (like when I’m voting for my favorite American Idol), but unless you’re communicating with your kid, my advice is to think twice – and then, don’t do it.

I had to go and change my cell phone plan to a more expensive one simply because the texting charges were adding up. Thanks, folks! (more…)

You Drive Me Crazy
Saturday, April 17th, 2010
I’m a control freak, so lots of things drive me nuts: people who mispronounce “vulnerable” (leaving out the “l”), bald guys who do the comb over and people who misquote cliches (“It’s a doggy dog world”). But what really sets me off is women – successful, intelligent women – who are afraid to drive. (more…)

Karma Career-ia
Friday, April 2nd, 2010
Super glue. A comb. Matches. A sample pack of Motrin IB. A first aid kit with needle and thread. Four miscellaneous gift cards with varying amounts left. Two more Motrin packs. A teeny weeny screwdriver. A flashlight keychain. A really good pen. A lighter and matches. A flash drive/power link. A pocketbook hanger. Contact lens case. A crumpled dollar bill. And a covered elastic.
All this. . . and that’s just the zipper part of my pocketbook.
Why do I feel compelled to keep so much junk so close at hand? (more…)
