I should probably explain why I hate February. And Lent. Here goes: when members of my Husband’s family die, it’s usually in February. I have no idea why. Maybe they don’t like Summer in SoCal. Normally this would not be an issue, however they tend to pass near the end of the month and the [...]

I’m sure you have all heard about SOPA, PIPA and SB 1867 by now. And I hope all of you are outraged about them. Some of the biggest names on the internet are so incensed over these proposed laws that they are either shutting down for 24hours or protesting in some major way. The sites [...]
A few days before Halloween, I started seeing commercials for Christmas. Christmas. In October. The day after Halloween, every other commercial was Christmas themed and it’s only getting more prevalent. What the hell is going on, people?? Have you all forgotten about Thanksgiving already?? You know, the holiday with all the great food and family? The one [...]
Do I have a beacon on my head that brings the psychos and dishonest people my way? Because I’m really getting sick of this shit. Yesterday morning, after dropping off my Husband at work and The Diva at school, I went to the bank to withdraw my rent money. Imagine my surprise when I found [...]
It’s a crime to be a Christian in Iran. One that is punishable by death if you do not embrace Islam and eschew your true beliefs. Under the Koranic laws (Sharia and Hadith), apostasy, the rejection of Islam, is a Capital Offense. Of course there are other things in sharia that Muslims break every day, [...]
At 10:03 am on September 11, 2001, 4 cowardly terrorists using their twisted version of the Muslim religion as justification for mass murder, lost control of the hijacked United Flight 93 they intended to slam into what we presume was the White House or the Capitol building. What these idiots did not count on was [...]
At 9:37 am on September 11, 2001, 5 cowardly terrorists using their twisted version of the Muslim religion as justification for mass murder, flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon. By this time we were all certain that this was an act of terrorism. We had just witnessed true evil and it shook us [...]
At 9:03 am on September 11, 2001, 5 cowardly terrorists again used their twisted version of the Muslim religion as justification for mass murder, flew United Airlines Flight 175 into the World Trade Center’s South Tower (2 WTC). We all knew then, this was no accident. There were 60 passengers and crew on that flight. [...]
At 8:46 am on September 11, 2001, 5 cowardly terrorists using their twisted version of the Muslim religion as justification for mass murder, flew American Airlines Flight 11 into the World Trade Center’s North Tower (1 WTC). And our world, as we knew it, changed forever. There were 87 passengers and crew on that flight. [...]
Ten years ago, the world stopped turning. Ten years ago, I woke up to the news showing what I thought was a scene from some action flick. Ten years ago, I realized it was real. Ten years ago, I knew Bin Laden was behind it even before any reporter uttered that evil bastard’s name. Ten [...]
Yes, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, the amazing show that helps schools and families change their eating habits and the fight rampant obesity in this country and premieres tonight at 8pm on ABC, was denied the filming permit originally granted by the LAUSD because they are afraid of being shown in a bad light on national [...]
Today is my 40th birthday. When the hell did I get to be 40 years old?? What am I supposed to do now, just wait for my body to fall apart since I have hit the infamous 4-0 or call myself middle aged?? I don’t know why, but 40 has always meant “old” to me. [...]
Last Saturday night, The Diva announced that she had a loose tooth. Her first loose tooth. She’s very excited. I’m a little weirded out. I didn’t think she would start losing teeth at this age, but apparently this is all normal. So now I get to play The Tooth Fairy. It dawned on me yesterday [...]
Yes, I am talking to YOU, Idiot Parents. The parents that raise ill-mannered, spoiled rotten, entitled children to be whiny, can’t live in the real world, me-me-me adults. Yes. I said it. You and your disrespectful children is what’s wrong with this country today. I am sick to death of seeing children who have no [...]
I believe I did a post about this, right about this same time last year. In fact, I know I did. Apparently Mother Nature does not want to cure her severe PMS and would rather torture the poor souls who live on this Earth. So nice of her, eh? The last couple of weeks have [...]
That’s right, Dish Network are a bunch of thieves who only care about getting money, any way they can. Last Friday night, they stole $266 from me. But their “system” actually tried to take 4 times that amount out of my checking account. That is over $1100!! I fully expect my service to be shut [...]
Most of the country is already at the end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn and the Holiday Season, but here in SoCal, that is not the case. September is usually our hottest month {Along with May, June, July, August & sometimes October…}, but for whatever reason, this Summer has been odd. I have [...]
There is a curious thing in the blogosphere regarding ethics, honesty and truthfulness in mommy blogger reviews. Bloggers are adamant that everyone follow the rules, be open, honest and forthright in their review posts. Follow the FTC guidelines. Etcetera. Etcetera. Etcetera. Ad nauseum. However, many reviewers either will not post a negative review at all, [...]
It’s a million degrees, we have no central air and I live in The IE. I have put an ice pack on my feet to feel comfortable enough to sleep. I feel like I’m walking through Jell-O with this waking up at o’dark-thirty to get The Diva off to kindergarten. And The Free Range Stupid [...]
