National Health Care PLEASE! My arm hurts!
I’m American and I indeed, think it is very important for the US government to do something about this mess the health care industry is in and that I have to suffer for.

I Love You More
There is one odd perk of being a blogger that I have noticed lately…people email about all sorts of stuff. I guess I am being asked to endorse or whatever about what it is that they are pitching. Who knows, maybe we all get them and I actually pay attention, but I read ’em. I mean hey, you never really know who is emailing.. today it was Northeast Public Radio..so…
Movie Review: August Rush
Getting Ready to See August Rush I don’t have to say again how loopy excited I was to go see this film. Hoped for by the adoption truth lovers as THE film to get get people to understand some of the complexities of adoption separation, I ignored the fact that I spent the majority of the previous 56 hours in bed with a flu and bounced out the door. Bonnie…
Nasty Bones
One Broken Left Humerus yeah, so that actually IS my arm..but after they squised it back together. In official terms they call that “post reduction”..i call it hurting like a mofo! Before they pushed the broken part back together, the bones were at angles from each other. more like this..though this is not my arm.. No Medical Insurance, Sub Par Care We went to the real ortho today. Same guy,…
Step Stools & Steer Skulls Equal Disaster.
Halloween Complications So we all know how much I dig Halloween, right? A old Goth chick’s dream come true…dress up decorate…yummmy! So one of the things that i have had on my to do list has been to get out my HW decor and get it up. I have a reputation in this neighborhood after all..and people have been asking. I wanted to get started on Sunday/ Mon past as…
Totally OFF Topic- My Beastie Boys Story
Now, what happens when a few of these LI kids happen to travel in the same social circles with the Beastie Boys in NYC? Well, lets just say, that IF one of these kid’s had their turn to wear the coveted VW necklace, and the Beastie Boys just happen to be there at the same party and MOCK the VW necklace worn in front of all the other people at the party, then they had BETTER not get their own and wear it to a promo photo shoot the next week! But that’s exactly what happened.
My Best Friend is in the Nut House
My best friend is currently in a mental health facility. That’s the nice way of putting it of course, the PC way, which I am not, even if it is my best friend. When I talk to her, we joke about her being in the nut house.
Adoption Movie Review- Meet the Robinsons
But what I hated the MOST was how they were able to totally sweep away any normal adoptee feelings for wanting to know their natural mothers and the reason for their relinquishment. How the total message of the movie was that the PAST DOESN’T MATTER. KEEP MOVING FORWARD. So, a bright future..especially if it is known…is way better than any questionable past! And our Louis gives up his chance to see his mother, to touch her, to look into her eyes, to stay with her…for this glorious future. Got to choose, eh? Can’t have both? Nah, he couldn’t have still been a great inventor and met his wife, had is son…IF he met his mom? NOOOOOO!
My NY….five years 9/11
Driving on the LIE into the Midtown tunnel, you would knew that your were almost there when the Twin Towers graced the skyline. My children will never see that sight.
The 50 gallon Penis toy.
So..our hotwater heater has been leaking.First just a little damp spot, them a bit bigger of a puddle. Not so good when you are trying to sell your house (which no one has been biting as it is…feeling like I shall not be going anywhere ..which is FINE really) Anyway..so after like a week I mention it to Rye, who concures that Yes, we have an issue. He claims he…
And the Winner of the Ugliest House in the Whole World is…
This one: This monstrosity is being built in the middle of nowhere right by Rye’s Aunt’s house. We had to stop and get a better look, a picture, and as luck would have it, we ran into the neighbors who gave us the dirt. Aparently, the guy who is bulding this wants to create this thing that is suppose to be a testiment to what one can achieve without an…
Irony? Perhaps..
I spend my days hunting for women who are considering adoption and do my damnest to talk them out of it. Usually. Sometimes, I just don’t feel like I can click with them..and I say just a bit and bow out rather then leave them thinking I am some insane fanatic. OK, I am a bit of in insane fanatic, but not militantly insane. But really, either they are going…
Compromises in Marriage, Panic Attacks
When I was pregnant with Scarlett, Rye and I had to go to Colorado for his mother’s wedding. She was being married at Garden of the Gods, beautiful place, and the whole family was on a week long vacation for the event. While it was a great place to visit and I njoyed seeing the country, I discovered a very sad fact out there. I have a tremondous fear of…
Low fat fun..
Just a quickie! This woman comes in tonight and orders Pumpkin Ravioli..good stuff!! Delicate taste, brown butter sherry sauce…note: made of real butter, and sherry..that’s about it. Eats it all..yum yum THEN proceeds to give her food server, a marvelous left handed Gay Capricorn Man, named James the Cat AKA Poodle..a HUGE hard time because….egads! We don’t have skim milk for her freaking capachino. Like a major hard time: “What…
Thoughts on Anger & Double Standards
Funny how sometimes I don’t see how much all this thinking about stuff has really changed me..and then I do see it..and it is rather amazing. Why Are People So Afraid of Anger? I work with a young woman who has had a pretty rough road in life. I find her amazing and the word strong is definitely applicable. Her parents and her childhood are way less than perfect. That’s her…
