(sometimes I feel also like just putting words on photos. it’s a thing.)

I saw this on another website and copied it to share here…I’m sorry, I’ve lost the original link. I’m a bad, bad blogger. I did, however, manage to capture the original artist. Well, not “capture” – she’s not in my basement, bound and gagged or anything.
Anyway, I thought you might enjoy it, but in the [...]

Why do I even bother with the news? You tell me that and I’ll pay you some money.
This is clever and proper and I give it my full endorsement. For whatever that’s worth.
Then we have this. And, I don’t know internet, you tell me. Mel Gibson, who is looking, thankfully, “more subdued”, is now responsible [...]

This thing here expires in February. The 23rd or something. I’ve been trying to decide if I want to keep it or not. I keep leaning towards quitting, but seriously, when I think of this place not being here anymore, it kills me. This has been here for more than 5 years. I moved it [...]

A thing about getting old is: it doesn’t get any better.
I find myself waking earlier and earlier every morning. Doesn’t matter what time [...]

I already said this once. But now someone else is saying it too. Only, they’re more direct and to the point, of course. I never seem to use one word when a thousand will do.

We discussed, you’ll recall, my devastating breakup with my therapist earlier this year. Well — I discussed it and you sat patiently — such good sports that you are.
No, I’m still not over him. Time has not healed any wounds whatsoever. I know what “they’ all say and “they” are all liars.
Nonetheless, today, I go [...]

i found these tips on parenting to be quite accurate and useful. none of those touchy-feely, dr. spock, i’m okay-you’re okay affirmations here though. no, this is the real deal. for instance, on feeding:
