Saturday August 28th, 2010 in Uncategorized

Okay, there WAS a solution. Unfortunately, I can’t thank anyone from any of the sleep forums who seemed only interested in correcting my terminology and bemoaning my approach to this serious problem. The answer wasn’t in the mask at all.
The new sleep machine lets you rachet up the humidity inside the mask. [...]

Sunday August 22nd, 2010 in In My Life Stuff, Real Life Advice

Probably my favorite childhood picture of my husband. He is having a bath in what they called ‘the washshed.’ Stubborn as always. But here is this little square image, taken some seventy years ago – and what to do with it now?

LOUISA MAY ALCOTT IN 2010

Saturday August 21st, 2010 in Uncategorized

Quarreled with this biog throughout the read. Great to have it so soon after John Matteson’s study.

Too many attempts to psychoanalyze Bronson and family members, including a discussion of whether or not he has a ‘homo-erotic [...]

Friday August 20th, 2010 in Uncategorized

Okay, it isn’t lying flat and I’ve creased it. The title is: ORIGAMI FOR BEGINNERS. It show the origami paper lying flat (rug), straight up & down (door) and lying tilted (ramp).

Tuesday August 17th, 2010 in Uncategorized

There’s also Morning Has Broken and all the other songs praising the start of a new day, a new chance at getting it right this time, all that potential we call ‘time’ that doesn’t actually exist.
“Whatta ya doin’? Standin’ in the middle of the street at THIS hour?’ my tenant calls to me, [...]

SUMMER STORM COMING FAST

Sunday August 15th, 2010 in Uncategorized

Grey sky, wind whipping up, garden wailing something of its own composition. Science says all nature has a voice, a sound, if we know how to listen. Thoreau knew.

Saturday August 14th, 2010 in Analyzing Facebook, Real Life Advice

Real life is all around us – and it’s snickering!
I’m NOT on Facebook to be sold stuff! What? Do they think this is the SHOPPING CHANNEL?? I had a ‘friend’ whose name was always trailed by the words – ‘author of –(and then her genre label) but NOW she’s added the words ‘& [...]
