Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
I used to be quite rabid about making sure certain things were clean for Christmas and New Year. I always liked clean sheets and pj’s for Christmas and to have the house presentable in case of drop in or New Years ‘First Footers’….which nobody does here, but I was well programmed by my mom. Most […]
Here I sit in the middle of that weird week between Christmas and New Year’s where some people are on vacation, and others work and the kids can’t figure out what to do with themselves. I remember working this week. In retail it is insane as people scramble to spend the last of the money […]
My awareness grew of this strange thing called a ‘Tassimo’ as more and more people tweeted about it. “What is this strange thing that people are all a twitter about?” I thought.

but God isn’t???? Why do people get all pissy about Santa? Every year I hear puffy people telling me that it is wrong to LIE to your kids and that they will be DESTROYED and MESSED UP when they find out the harsh truth. Now unless something REALLY harsh happened to them as kids..I […]
I grew up in 1970’s Scotland where it was just ‘assumed’ that everyone was the same and “Pakkie” wasn’t considered a racist slur when referring to the proprietors of the local corner convenient store.
