    • The One Who Got Away

      • springer spaniel puppy IMG_9870

        His name was George, and he was our brand new puppy when I was 7. My parents would always try to get me to hold him for pictures, but I didn't like to because I was terrified he would pee on me. I preferred to just run around with him. After he ran away, I remember thinking I would give anything to hold him, even if he peed all over me.

    • How I Feel About Swear Words, Goshdarnit

      • Burning wisdom - Third eye light abstract

        What I like to see are movies, TV shows, or books that create alternate swear words. Those are awesome!

        Remember the newer Battlestar Galactica? Everything was "frak" this or "frak" that. Hilarious! Close... but not quite believable in my opinion.

        I'm reading a fantasy series right now that uses these types of swear words: "Oh, light! he's not going to do that again, is he?" and "Burn you!" I think those work better within the context of the story - it's a separate curse series that the reader can buy into, rather than just tweaking something we already use.

        My husband's uncle uses "crackers" as his quasi-swear word. "Crackers!" lol

    • The Beginning of My Memoir

      • Mom always said I was born under a lucky star. That annoys me because I tend to think it has a little more to do with a lot of fucking hard work and using some heart when I make decisions. But I don't counter her on it because very occasionally, when I look back, I do wonder what angel this atheist had looking over her shoulder.

    • The Worst Teacher I Ever Had

      • Going down Pre-Teen Angst Memory Lane, Plinky? Great way to start the day.

        Worst teacher ever told the class that she wanted to be an international translator but didn't have enough money so instead she was stuck doing "this" - teaching. From that point on, I had zero confidence in her and really worried about whether I was getting any real educational benefit from her.

        Years later, I learned she was a principal of another school. Way to go. (snark)

    • No internet? No life.

      • When the Apocalypse comes, yes. In a coma, sure. Kidnapped and tied up and blindfolded, of course. Even absent those scenarios, hopefully I wouldn't have to live without it for as long as a month - I have always tried to be super nice to IT people for just such a possibility.
