Freaky Frugalite

Oh I have to snicker at myself. Is it really, truly Thursday already?! What happened? It was Monday just a few hours ago, right?! This time-passing-faster-than-a-speeding-bullet conundrum can’t be the result of getting older. It just can’t. You younger folks– time is speeding for you, too, isn’t it? Reminds me of the book of Daniel: [...]

I know I am wading into very dangerous territory…. can’t imagine why, since BOTH modern-styled Democrat and Republican parties are totally nutso! :brudder: Usually, watching presidential speeches can put you to sleep faster than a speeding bullet. But Ronald Reagan was simply an amazing master of the spoken word. Even my kids gather around the [...]

Pray for me. *grooooaaaaan*

It’s still early morning as I write this, so I have some quiet time to think before the day’s mayhem begins, Oh wait, the kids are up. Too late. Ugh, and they have informed me that we need milk, so I must walk down the street to get some. *sigh* Well anyway, I guess I [...]

According to the news story, the city government is charging bloggers a $300 licensing fee, on top of a bunch of other fees: a business privilege [...]

Holy cow. LITERALLY, hahahah!!! :blink: OK I calm down now. This story at Boston.com is both tragic and befuddling. (I’d copy and paste a section of the news story, but I don’t want to get sued for doing so– so you’ll have to go see for yourself). In a nutshell, a family in New Hampshire [...]

Went to the Drudge Report today, and saw this. Aw, come on! Give me a break! The American flag at the bottom of the ocean?! “Summer canceled”?? I’m so sick of the media, really. And I don’t even watch television, so I don’t know how you TV-watchers can endure this junk day after day and [...]

Kim Komando, one of my early mentors into computer geekdom, is now making videos. And I am really pleased to see her address the problems of unConstitutional violations of our rights by the government. In this video, she discusses that the government can and will search and seize any of our electronic data when we [...]
