I am fighting a case of the flu. I can’t be certain that it actually is the flu, but since I have the internet, I have researched my symptoms, and now I feel qualified to self diagnose.

So, it was only natural for them to one day star in their very own comic book. Not one to miss a lucrative money making opportunity, Marvel Comics issued the first ‘Super Special’ KISS comic book …
High school is a regretful place. So, I guess it’s true that the longer you spend in high school, the more you know what certain people are all about.

When you were 3 months old, she fed, bathed and changed you. You thanked her by crying all night long. When you were 1 year old, she taught you how to walk. You thanked her by running away when she called you. When you were 5, she bought you a new outfit for the holidays. You thanked her by falling …

I decided to make a nice dinner for the hubby, and went to the freezer to get a beef roast. I dread going into the freezer, and news flash, they don’t call it ‘freezer’ for nothing. Finding anything in there is an ordeal, and I hate the cold. But, I bit the bullet and headed downstairs. The freezer and I …
Will’s Thoughts – Love makes us do strange things. For instance, during that delightful (and extremely short) ‘honeymoon’ period of love when Crazy Lady and I first met, when anything and everything was possible. So, when Countess Clairol decided that she would color her hair at home, and suggested that she might as well do mine too, I figured, ‘Shucks, …

Will’s Thoughts – Smartphones Are Smarter Than I Am I think smartphones are stupid. They are digital Swiss army knives, and apparently there is some dang international quest to build smartphones that can do everything except the dishes.

Hubby calls my forays into learning and teaching myself new ideas, or things, “hair brained” ideas. Sometimes, it turns out, he is more than accurate with his observations. Recently, I took up a new craft. It started out innocently enough as a jewellery making idea for the Art Gallery Christmas store fundraiser, but soon it mushroomed into an out of …
The older I get, the more I seem to think about the past.
