Freaky Frugalite

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 [...]

1. You turn off your modem and get this awful, empty feeling… Yeahhhhh…. 2. You spent half of the plane trip with the laptop on your lap… and your child in the overhead compartment. 3. You start using smiles in your snail mail. I thought everyone did this?? 4. Your cat has its own home [...]

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 [...]

Isn’t that a funny video?! It took FOREVER to load, though. Thank God people don’t send earthquake news via YouTube, or we’d be still waiting for the buffering…. :hmph: Twitter IS pretty speedy. Quite a number of times, I’ve gotten up-to-date news that was not available anywhere. When we had the bad flooding last week [...]

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. I thought I’d pitch in, do my part as a very devoted taxpayer and offer you [...]

OK, it’s bad enough that an Internet quiz is encouraging me to be zany! My poor kids….. lol…. I hadn’t done any of those goofy Internet quizzes in a long time. So when my pals Gerard and Karen did the “What Kind of Jungle Animal Are You?” quiz, I was intrigued. So, what are you [...]

We shall never forget…. *takes off hat, holds hat to heart* I was on my bed, typing at my laptop (I write upstairs in my room, it’s quieter). Suddenly, I feel the bed swaying. Just a little. But it’s constant, so it gets my attention. As if someone is rocking the bed just a little [...]

Saw this bumper sticker while out shopping and it make me bust laughing. Sorry it’s so blurry. The driver was still in the car in the parking lot. I felt uncomfortable stopping and snapping a photo of them, so I kept walking while taking the photo. LOL.

We took Livvy and the Yorkies to a public rabies clinic last week. There were literally hundreds of animals there. We saw a ferret, some cats and a billion dogs. As a matter of fact, cats were outnumbered by dogs probably 150 to 1. Dogs, dogs, dogs… yelping, sniffing, pooping, urinating, barking, barking and did [...]
