Dishwasher Installation Drains Blogging

I have no excuse for not keeping up with this blog, but here’s why it hasn’t been done: I’ve spent my time online searching on how to uninstall/install a new dishwasher.  Yes, I did it myself.  How’s that for girl power? My blood sugar levels are through the roof, I haven’t felt well in a [...]

Thesis 1.7 Went Blank!

<panic!> I’ve been working on a few different web sites for work the last 30 days and I’ve been doing a lot of the development in WordPress using the Thesis 1.7 theme.  I hit full on panic mode tonight when I was trying to tweak a custom function and added some bad pieces of code [...]

Keeping Busy Because of One Lit Match

As Smokey The Bear would say, “Only you can prevent forrest fires.”  Uhh, no I can’t because I have tried.  I am speaking of the figurative forrest fire, not the literal ones.  I’ve been known to have too many irons in the fire at one time, but my irons have caught fire and now I’m [...]

Where Does The Time Go?

It is now mandatory that I color my hair every 6-8 weeks to cover the grays coming in. I’m fighting with gravity and it’s winning. Power 96.5 Jams radio station gets on my nerves. I bent down to pick something up off the floor this morning. I got stuck and hurt myself getting back up. [...]

I Drove To Arkansas

This isn’t necessarily one of my shining, glory moments in this story I am about to tell you, but it is one that will make you think twice before calling me one smart cookie. I like to pride myself on having a sense of direction. I have a good idea on which way is North, [...]

The Dishes Are On The Roof

Don’t install a satellite dish on the roof.  Our tenants do this all of the time and it irritates me to no end.  If you install your dish on the roof, holes must be drilled into the roof, ultimately opening it up for problems with leaks. Plus it looks tacky. Just don’t do it. That [...]

Tricky Honda Pilot Window

“The laughter is payment enough for me.”  This was the response I got from the service tech at our local Honda dealership when I called him about an issue I was having with the auto-window-pusher-downer button that was not working on my 2005 Honda Pilot. My issue started with my darling youngest one turning on the [...]

It’s A Hot Mess Right Now

I was so embarrassed today when a colleague asked me why he couldn’t find my e-mail address on my web site anywhere.  I wasn’t sure how to answer him until I remembered that I had removed it from my personal blog due to the spammers.  The spammers seemed to be picking up on my fully [...]

My E-Mail To Roy Blunt

Dear Congressman Blunt: When we met with you in your office back in August, I had forgotten to e-mail you a photo of the group when you so graciously posed outside in the stifling heat with all of us from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation here in the Ozarks. Please find the photo attached. When [...]

Get Off My Land You Crazy Kids!!

I know there is some wild Clint Eastwood movie out there with a line similar to the title of this post. For some reason it rings in my head as I recall the actor saying the line in the gruffest way possibly with his teeth clenched hard… I just can’t think of the name of [...]
