Good Posture > Fat

Most people don’t consider me fat. If I stand up straight, my shirt hangs down flat with no signs of a growing gut stretching the fabric of my shirt to its limits. I present a slim, but false facade.

Facebook Follies

I’m so tired of seeing Facebook posts challenging me to find a person’s first name that begins with O, or to find a city’s name that doesn’t have an O in it, or some other “challenge.”

Best. Reality. TV. Ever. Except …

Wow, the series of 10 Republican Presidential debates taken together has been the best reality television series ever. Despite the lack of substantive discussions or facts, there was drama, comedy and conflict, exactly what you want from reality TV.

The skating rink in the park has turned into a chilly splash pool. The dog turds in my yard are thawing into lovely gelatinous chocolate pudding piles of poo that will leak out between the teeth of my pooper scooper if I don’t get them early enough today while a chill is still in the air.

Republican’s Furious Over Justice Scalia’s Death

Republicans had initially been quite upset in the wake of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia dying so inconveniently for them early in an election year. But then they discovered what they thought was a golden nugget that Scalia had left them in his passing.
