When I Am Queen – #2

I believe the time has come for more pronouncements.  So…
When I am Queen:
- I’m pulling our soldiers out of all foreign wars and bringing them back home.  Too many have died and we seem no closer to changing anything.  As Queen, I realize that each one of these brave soldiers is someone’s son, daughter, sister, [...]

Dear K.C. Star…

Dear Kansas City Star newspaper,
I know the economy’s bad.  Prices are going up everywhere.  So, when you first raised your rates, I wasn’t happy, but I paid.  In fact, I enrolled in your EasyPay program whereby you automatically deducted the amount from a credit card because you offered a better rate that way.  Little did [...]

The Bad Guys Are Winning

What is happening to our world?  Is evil becoming so commonplace that it can be brushed aside with a smirk or a joke?  In light of the events of the past week, it certainly seems so.
First of all, take this pond scum, Roman Polanski, who drugged and forcibly raped a thirteen year old girl and [...]

What Is It With Some People?

Is it a sign of getting old to find yourself dismayed by the increasing lack of consideration and downright arrogance of some people?  If so, then I’m getting old!

Whether it’s the death of Michael Jackson or [...]

Goodbye to “The Unusuals”

A couple of posts ago, I went on a rant about what could very well be one of the worst shows on television, “I’m A Celebrity,Get Me Out of Here!”  So I feel it’s only fair to give equal time to a show which has really won my heart because of its wonderfully likable cast [...]

Daylight Saving “Crime!”

Okay, so who asked the government to start monkeying around with our clocks?  Sunday marked the period in which we “spring forward,” and I, for one, hate it!  Yeah, yeah, I know I’m in the minority here.  Almost all of my friends absolutely love the idea of having more daylight.  And I also know it’s [...]

No Thanks, No Sale…

I’m on the national “No Call” list, and that has really helped me avoid sales calls.  But, the problem with that list is that companies with whom you do any business can still contact you.  The latest instance of this was the other night.  The salesgirl was nice, but she made the mistake of calling [...]

Some Minor Grumbles…

I know I’m blessed in so many ways, and I never forget that, nor do I fail to thank God every single day.  Having said that, we wouldn’t be human if we didn’t have a few minor grumbles now and then.  Here are few of mine.

The friend who, when she was going through very difficult [...]
