Woohoo, I got my Internet again, baby, and it’s BURN BABY BURN. Fastfastfast, oh yeah! Right now, it’s just me on the network.

My daughter got a call on her cell phone the other day. We are very cautious about answering calls because we get so many telemarketers and wrong numbers. If she does not recognize the number she does not answer the call. Usually, the callers have phone numbers like 769-0 (a true telemarketer number). The number [...]

Is it sacrilegious to poke the Pope on Facebook? Is it sacrilegious that the Pope is ON Facebook?! The Catholic Pope, Joseph Ratzinger, is on Facebook. Surprisingly, he only has 9,397 friends. I thought he’d have a lot more. ….and looking a little closer… is that REALLY the REAL Pope’s Facebook page? It says “public [...]

Ah, memories. This LOL Cats picture made me bust laughing. I especially like “Rebel Cat.” Just HOW did the cat owner get his cat to do that?! Musta been the ‘nip. I was too shy and quiet in my large urban school to be a “cool cat,” or, as they are called in yearbooks, a [...]

Woohooo! It’s that time of year again, parents! Back to prison public school! I remember those historic “first days” of school very well… the sinking feeling that summer is officially over, the crack-of-dawn bus rides, the sweaty classrooms… yeah.
