I always come up with FABULOUS ideas for clothing, accessories or home decor. And then I go on an exhaustive search to stores and internet sites only to find that what was in my head does not exist.

I live in Southern California, we have TWO seasons: hot as hell or cold as hell. Each accompanied by the […]

Is Your Teen Addicted To Porn?

A couple months ago, I saw a story on Nightline (ABC) about porn and teens. I was shocked.

Nude pictures sent by young girls through their cell phones is […]

The Simple Fix For The Blogger Blog Redirection To Kunoichi (dot) info Problem

Recently, I noticed that a few blogs I read hosted on the Blogger (blogspot) platform were redirecting to a parked page for kunoichi . info. On most of these sites, you can usually briefly see a post with some variation of “I’VE BEEN HACKED!!!” as the title. On one of the blogs, I quickly hit […]

Has Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Message Been Subverted?

Yes, I asked the question. Has Martin Luther King, Jr.’s message been subverted? Before you blurt out an answer, stop and think about it first.

Conversations About My Phone

Anyone Who Tries To Call Me At Home: Why don’t you ever answer your phone? Me: The Diva gave it a bath a while back and it doesn’t ring anymore. AWTTCMAH: Why don’t you just buy a new one? Me: It works fine except for the not ringing part. Oh and I dropped one of […]
