It’s my birthday!

Despite the fact that aging sucks, and birthdays should be a drag now, I still can’t help but feel goofy and giddy because it’s my birthday today. Today, I inch just that much closer to the day when I will earn my AARP discount card! Woohoo! Ok, that’s still 3 years away, but I’m looking forward to getting old lady discounts everywhere I go. LOL. So to celebrate my birthday, I... read more

Mailbox vandals strike again

Remember the punks who messed up my mailbox a couple of weeks ago? They struck again last night. They even did this during a torrential rain storm. The kind that makes you wonder if the entire state is going to float away. So I called the Sheriff’s department this time. I told the lady who answered that I wanted to report vandalism.

So, I was running some possibilities through Godaddy* to come up with a creative... read more

Getting ready for Christmas

I did buy a few little dollar gifts at the dollar store for my granddaughter... read more

Ad targeting by age is annoying

Yesterday, I filled out a little form asking me for some personal information on a site that I use every day to check the TV schedule for the day. One of the questions it asked was my birthday. I’ve been using this site for months now, and the advertising I’ve been seeing has been of the general-interest sort. Today, however, the ads involve the following products: One of those male... read more

Dealing with punks

I’ve been living in a rural area for about 3 months now. A couple of days ago, some punks drove by and smashed my mailbox with a baseball bat. Now, I know how teenagers are…especially bored country kids. But it’s still irritating. Found this video today and it sums up how I would have liked to deal with the redneck punks who destroyed my mailbox. UPDATE: Video gone. Oh well.... read more
