It’s Monday and that means that it is time for another S.O.B. of the week. Unfortunately, some quick research yields too many results to pick just one. Our first candidates: David and Liz Carroll from Ohio; The former copping a plea and the latter found guilty of murdering their three-year old [...]

Love Myself Thursday

I found this blog by accident today and I know just how she feels.
I didn’t last too long on the old South Beach because, frankly, a world in which Cheerios and bananas won’t work for breakfast and neither will an English muffin with peanut butter just isn’t a world I want to live [...]

SOB of the Week
It pains me to say this but I must bestow this week’s award on Senator John McCain. Back when he had a pair, I said I would have worked tirelessly to get him elected. Yes, I’d have been a passenger on the Straight Talk Express. Now it would appear [...]

Tal’s blog says that it’s Love Thursday. So today, if I adopt the tradition, I’m to blog about love in some fashion. I don’t think I’ll adopt the tradition.
I’m still looking for evidence supporting the claim that Australia is the greatest country in the world. A Google search leads me [...]

A poorly kept secret about yours truly is that, if I had ten million dollars, sort of like the old farmer joke, I’d probably keep running the hotel until it was gone. My long-term, long-time goal in life is to be an innkeeper.
If I could build one, I’ve got the design in [...]

I think everyone knows someone who’s life has been touched by lymphoma, leukemia or other blood-related cancers. For me the list is getting too long. My sister sent me this link to a site that rewards you for doing online surveys by donating money to the Lymphoma Research Foundation for each survey you [...]

Here we have something that makes you go “Hmmmmmm”
This guy abused his role as the spiritual leader of this church and sold the whole thing to buy himself “a brand-new black BMW and a laptop – exploits he later chronicled in a cheeky, almost gleeful blog about his double life as a sinner.” All [...]

What a weekend! We put the period on the birthdays last month with the official party for the friends on Sunday afternoon. I, of course, thought it would be brilliant to have a build-your-own-pizza party. The results were mixed but the kids had a good time and that’s what matters, right?
This being [...]

You know, I get asked all the time what it is like parenting older kids, even adults, vs. younger kids. The Khan and the Senator being four and nine with numbers 1 through 4 being 22, 19, 19 and 17 respectively. I have to say, first off, that all kids are different regardless [...]

“Mom you should get a job at my school.”
“As what? I didn’t go to college to be a teacher, you know.”
“Maybe you could be a janitor or something?”
“And clean up poop all day?”
“NO MOM! BARF!!”
