A Left Brain Plot to Kill a Right Brain Post
Fear hangs out with the letters on my keyboard among the dust clusters and granola bar crumbs. Actually, fear appears as a red herring, a fishy character that presumably kills off my blog post. But I know the real perpetrator, Perfectionism. The Perfectionist evil doer hijacks my brain, duct tapes my arms to the chair,… Continue reading
The Irrational Fear of Blogging
I woke up today and remembered that I had a blog. I’m slightly amnesic after a Google search algorithm sideswiped me while I was surfing Craigslist. I also might be HTML intolerant. Lately, the word “blog” sounds more like “blahg” when it rolls off my tongue, as if a rotten pistachio nut left a bad… Continue reading
Brain talk – when the chatter never stops
My brain talks too much. As soon as I open my eyes to a freshly minted day, my brain starts yammering. Blah, blah, blah. Things to do: Make beds with hospital corners. Note: Omit drainage bag and catheter. Wipe out dust bunny colony. Note: Dump remains in woods in back of house. Sometimes I get… Continue reading
Big Biz Cuts Jobs and Runs – Updated w/Newell Rubbermaid Response
Apparently, all corporations aren’t part of the evil empire. Earlier today, a representative of Newell Rubbermaid contacted me to clarify the LA Times article I cited in my post yesterday.

Warning: Do not ingest any food byproducts before reading this. Today from the Los Angeles Times: Newell Rubbermaid… Continue reading
Granny Samaritan and the Frozen Steak Stir-Fry
Image via Wikipedia Close Encounters of the Third Aisle. A refurbished post from 2009. The supermarket and I have a love-hate relationship because I hate going. Although once I arrive, I love finding a story down one of the aisles. “Should I choose door number one or door number two?” I wondered aloud, while in… Continue reading
Checking the Rearview Mirror Back to Mayhem 2009.
Image by grendelkhan via Flickr Back in May 2009, my Uncle Sam on my mother’s side, helped support me after Frank the baker cut off my dough and tossed me out the back door with the used doilies. Although I am eternally grateful to my Uncle Sam for his financial help while we tube fed… Continue reading
When A Brain Goes MIA
If Only There Was a Lost and Found for Brains I once had a brain but it went MIA above the yondering blue where the space ships cruise in weightlessness. That’s where my brain is — somewhere in space, the final frontier — floating in a vacuum of nothingness. In space, there is no air… Continue reading
A Foot Faux Pas.
I took off my shoes before entering the house. Homeowner foot fetish I suspect. I’ve been down this path before, literally, and should have been more foot smart this time. But I forgot about the “no shoe” rule and the corn wrap air bag on my pinkie toe. Because I got lost, I was the… Continue reading
