…Maybe not even raise children. You know, I decided a long time ago that I didn’t want to be one of those bloggers who was always all, “Hey! Here’s a cool video!” And “I found this other awesome video that you’ve gotta see!” But I promise, this is different. Cuz I did not find this [...]

So I have a tummy ache today, and writing anything is challenging. Let’s just say I’m spending a lot of time away from the computer. And then when I come back to my desk, who do I find online but Bob the Dog? I guess over the past few weeks, he somehow figured out how [...]

I will never take indoor plumbing for granted again. 24 hours after my last post, I have a sparkling clean septic tank with an unclogged valve. (I’ll take the septic guy’s word for it; I didn’t peer down there with a flashlight or anything.) The basement flood is history, but we’ll still have to cut [...]

Here’s another of my favorite posts. It still gets a lot of activity, but I don’t think I can take credit. It appears that a lot of people are curious about “chicken foot necklaces,” and their google searches lead them here. I bet they’re just a little irritated when they read what I wrote. (For [...]
