Paypal finally got my account restored on the eleventy billionth phone call!!!! I was about to pay my hosting site!!!! The sun is shining and I can stop throwing up now!  Y’all know I an kind of a hermit, and I didn’t realize how much I rely on chatting with you guys here every day. […]

Y’all I had quite the night. My server went down for nonpayment which is an auto pay on my PayPal  account. Unfortunately when I tried to put up a donate button, Paypal changed my account to a Business account and shut down my personal account. I didn’t realize they were doing that and they didn’t […]

The is a guy at the corner beer store by my house who is from another country. It doesn’t matter what time of day I go there, he always says Good Mornting! His English is excellent. He just thinks it is funny. So, I was up all night, because the rule in this house is, […]

Thanks again for all the love. I receive it and appreciate it. We have a great tribe, including those who did not comment. I have a lot of reasons to be happy for the life I had with Banjo. Moving on. I have turned into GET OFF MY LAWN! Lady.  On in this case, GET […]

I know all of us myself included can get a bit nasty at times. We are all going through some stuff. It would help me a lot if you guys could take down the vitriol for a few days. I’m in the bad place and I am not up to refereeing arguments about whose loss […]

So I was up super late and woke up super early because the house was literally shaking. I’m terrified of thunder and lightning but never in my life has it shaken the house! Power went out for a bit. It’s back now. But, apparently, the worst is yet to come. I don’t even know what […]

In 1994 I was working at a college in South Carolina that was part of the Clemson University system. At that time, the Internet was in the early stages. Somehow I found an email group of professors who would play this word game. The winner of the last round would give us a new (IIRC fake) […]

It’s a little bit early for another Open Forum. But I am quite concerned about one of our group today. And if you are reading this you are part of our group whether you comment or not. Most people know that I rarely answer the phone especially when I am working. Also, I am half […]

I’m trying to do Duolingo to learn Spanish. So far I’ve learned to say Juan eats apples. That should be helpful if I move to Portugal, right?  Also I don’t understand how to say “Yo.” When Duolingo says it, it sometimes sounds like “Jo” and sometimes it sounds like “Ho.” I’m reminded of learning Arabic […]

There is a not a whole lot going on this weekend to distract us from the madman killing babies and old people in Ukraine for literally no reason at it. It’s very emotionally exhausting. Bethenny Frankel has raised $25 million dollars for Ukraine relief. What little Entertainment news there is also depressing. Josh Flagg and […]

I am so obsessed, sad, praying (and I just pray occasionally) about Ukraine. This random dude who was a comedian and is now the ultimate example of how to run a country has me glued to CNN. At least for a while, I was distracted from more personal crises and focused on another county. Then, […]

Well, apparently there is a football game today. LOL. This means there will be no RHOSLC tonight so all I have to do is recap Celebrity Brother and survive another day. Nothing to report over here. Still feeling crappy. Banjo was restless all night so we were both up. He’s sleeping soundly now. /eyeroll. It’s […]

Y’all! It’s a blizzard in Atlanta! Okay, okay, maybe not a blizzard. But there are a lot of teeny tiny snowflakes falling! And they are sticking a little bit on cars and bushes! This is our second snowmaggeden this winter! 🙂 I’m very excited. Sadly, it will all probably be gone in the morning. I […]

I’m taking a mental health day. I’ll spare you all the details because they involve family members, but my family is dealing with multiple issues at the moment. I generally don’t do much on Saturday anymore. I do have some good news to report. I spoke to Nadia last night. She is still in the […]

Well, this Open Forum isn’t about a bright, bright sunshiney day. In fact, this day sort of sucks donkey balls. Let’s just say you never know how much you want to use your kitchen sink until you discover all the plastic plumbing has been discombobulated for quite some time. Water damage, flooding. The whole nine […]

Y’all need to be sitting down for this one. Seriously, try not to pass out when I tell you this news. I’m having a good day! I know! I’m as shocked as you guys are! Yesterday, or maybe the day before I made it all the way to Whole Foods! It was a struggle, but […]

2021 is winding down over here with tornado warnings. So Banjo and I had to shelter in out “tornado shelter.” This involves sitting on the floor. Once we got the all clear, that meant standing up. It’s been a long time since I’ve sat on the floor. I could not get up! I had to […]

Hey y’all .  So sorry to worry everyone. As you all know from my constant whining, that I kind of needed a bit of a break. Or breakdown? With Bravo not really airing much ( I may try to do a Vanderpump Rules recap soon) I decided to take some down time.  For the last […]

It seems that the catch up post on the things I wasn’t up to posting last week turned in to the Christmas post.  But I thought I’d go ahead and do the real one today.  I wanted to go to bed around 9:30 last night. That’s highly unlike me, but I’m still feeling a tad […]

I’ve been trying to take a couple of mental health days because I am super stressed about everything. I know that people think Twitter is a mean place, and we can tussle here and there but actually everyone decides who to follow and what is in their timelines. Cheryl B left the site after I […]

Happy Holidays Everyone! It’s time for some holiday group therapy! LOL. So what is on your mind? Below are some of my random thoughts. And Just Like That… In case there is anyone who hasn’t already been spoiled…. I was and it was so irritating, please don’t spoil the premiere.  I’ve watched the first two […]

I have had exactly two emotions for the last couple of days. I’m either randomly sobbing about nothing, or in a murderous rage. Everything is fucking irritating. I was so worked up by a relatively tame episode of Project Runway episode last night, I was borderline having a literal stroke. Can you have a second […]

Y’all. I discovered this weekend that I have ZERO social skills left. I was rude, crude and socially unacceptable when dear Nancy arrive. I’m a sloth. I treated her kind of like Ramona treats “the help.” And yet she did some Herculean tasks without complaint. I forgot my manners. There was no please and thank […]

How is everybody doing? Lots of people haven’t been commenting that much. I’m starting to worry about some of you guys.  I’m sorry I have been a negative nancy these days. I’m not in the best of health at the moment and I’m just trying to keep my head above water. It’s okay if you […]

Y’all first of all you can post in the most recent Open Forum or  ANY OPEN FORUM at any time. It doesn’t have to be on the top of the page. Sometimes things get busy, but that doesn’t mean people won’t hear you. If you scroll all the way up and click on the OPEN […]
