Check it out: I know what you’re thinking. We get it, Marney, your husband has a sock problem. He leaves them around. Blah blah blah, deal with it already. But wait, there’s more. You see, while this scene seems reminiscent of my last post, there is a very distinct difference between these nasty old tube [...]

Slug Bug Stupid
As you may have noticed these days, VW has attempted to put a new spin on an old game to push some advertising and, apparently, sell cars. With violence. Ok, maybe not so dramatic. But we’ve all seen these new Volkswagen commercials where people punch each other every time they see one. Red One. Blue [...]

36 things
1 – I know you think you are being polite, but stop waving people through the intersection. Two things are happening here; 1) it’s your turn but apparently you are the ruler of the road, the sultan of the streets, the head honcho of the highways and YOU have decided that it is permissible that [...]

Cancer – a kick in the butt
There are two things to know about my family as I start this post: 1 – My mother has colon cancer. 2 – We are the family that truly puts the FUN in dysfunctional. Cancer sucks. It sucks balls. Or, in my mother’s case, it sucks BUTT (get it). You don’t have to have cancer [...]

It’s strong in this one…
I cannot believe that I left out the very most important part of the story regarding Hank and the tale of the super mean German Shepherd. So there we were, sitting in the ER. After several hours and a good cleaning, that wound just looked bad. Not big, but deep. A gash, if you will. [...]

It’s a doggone shame
I am increasingly frustrated as this week creeps into the weekend. As some of you may already know, on Tuesday, I spent five and a half hours in the emergency room with Hank. I was at work, Jim was out of town, and my mother-in-law was at our home with the kids. Hank was out [...]

Catch the fever? No thanks.
You know that feeling you get when you are embarrassed for someone? It doesn’t have to be someone you actually know. Hell, it doesn’t even have to be someone real. You can be watching a movie or a television show, and one of the characters does something so vomit-inducing and cringe-worthy that you actually find yourself [...]

Say what?
I’m always amazed at some of the things that my children say. Not to get all Bill Cosby on everyone, but for real, they actually DO say the darndest things. Case in point — tonight I made dinner and placed their plates in front of them at the table. On each plate, some steak, a little [...]

Drinking problem
My husband and I have issues. Over the past few months, we have been working super hard to drop our bear blubber. Because 1) we are simply too fat and 2) we are not actually bears who need to stockpile on a few layers of fat to make it through hibernation season. Hell, the fact [...]

Thumbs up
We all know it. We’ve all done it. It’s the international sign of “hey, it’s all cool.” It brings us closer to the Fonz. It’s “thumbs up.” Back at St. James, when we were occasionally good-natured children (which wasn’t necessarily common for the Class of ’88 but it did sometimes happen), we would be rewarded with a game.
