Christmas gift ideas pt. 5

In an earlier Christmas gift idea post, I suggested a Zach Galifianakis swimsuit. Now I’m thinking, if you know someone who might want that swimsuit, they might also need a Steve Buscemi dress to go with it.

Infection Happy Hour

While I was at the doctor last week for a sore back, I saw signs posted on the wall that said, “Infection walk-ins from 10-11 every weekday.” This is a new thing that our local doctor’s office is trying for the winter. If you feel like you might have a throat, ear or urinary tract … Read more

If we all just chip in…..

I live in an apartment complex. We have an incredibly boring middle space between our two buildings with nothing on it because the building company decided to “keep the nature,” which basically translates to them wanting to save costs by not developing any common area for us to have barbecues.

Sad choices in marketing

I got this in my email from Classmates.com today.  I don’t think I’ve been on Classmates.com in almost 10 years. (Has anyone?) Anyway, I love how the subject line has a frowny face. What were they thinking during the meeting of how to reach out to people?  “Well, maybe if they feel sorry for us?” … Read more

Stupid parenting moments

Son:  Mamma, what’s tinder? Me: It’s a dating website for adults. Son: Um….. Club Penguin says I need to find tinder for making a fire. Me:  Oh.
