It’s been a while since we have had an open forum just to chat amongst ourselves. Tonight seems like a good time for it since there isn’t much on TV tonight to discuss. In case you weren’t interested in the politics post/comments today I FINALLY got my car tag updated. I can do that at […]
Open Forum: Returning To The Living?
Before I start blathering about myself, as I am wont to do, 🙂 I want to say how very, very impressed with our Internet family. Overall, the discussion in the Roe comments has been way more civil than I expected. There has been very little name calling and differences of opinion were met with little […]
Open Forum: Do I Have Yolanda Foster Syndrome? :(
I am sick and tired of all the open forums that start with me being sick and tired. I am sure y’all are sick and tired of hearing about it. I think I am mainly just dehydrated and in need of some kind of food I will actually eat. Right now the only thing I […]
Open Forum: Summer Vacation Plans Anyone?
I think we need a more upbeat Open Forum. I am kind of surprised that it was mostly tame. At least until our resident contrarian Beets Why showed up. I don’t think there is a single subject that we discuss that she doesn’t defend the minority opinion. It’s kind of her thing. So I was […]
Open Forum: The Insurrection Investigation
This is an open forum. Some people in the comments may be discussing politics. If like Fox News watchers, you can’t handle the truth, this Open Forum may not be for you. You might want to find something else to do while the grown folks are talking. Or you can talk about anything else you […]
Open Forum: Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
Here in the US Monday is Memorial Day were we honor and mourn all of our fallen soldiers. However, in more recent years it is a three day weekend which marks the beginning of summer. In Georgia, and probably many other states, it also marks the end of the school year and graduation is often […]
I May Need A Mental Health Night
I’m trying to get through the latest elementary! school shooting. But, I’m not well. First of all the Sandy Hook killer killed his mother before killing children. This piece of shit killed his grandmother before this rampage. He clearly wanted to be like the first scumbag. I had nightmares last night about my former students […]
Open Forum: Narcolepsy…Plus Some Bits and Pieces
First of all, all I want to do is sleep lately like ALL DAY. I apologize for not getting to emails as timely as I usually do. Once again it has taken me all night to get caught (sort of). Now I am ready for bed and I know I will probably sleep for at […]
Open Forum: Lawn Kid Update
I was trying to wait until Saturday to do the Open Forum, but I have breaking news on the Lawn Kid situation. And I can’t hold it in any longer. I HAVE A BABY BOY “Grandson!” I ran into lawn kid and his baby mama AND THE BABY at the corner store today. They were […]
Open Forum: MY CURRENT MENTAL BREAKDOWN IS OVER!
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. […]
Open Forum: The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia
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 […]
Open Forum: Good MornTing!
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, […]
Open Forum
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 […]
Open Forum: Things Are Getting Ugly
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 […]
Off Topic: Technical Difficulties…
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 […]
Open Forum: Rough Night, Plus Some Random Bravo News…
Banjo had a rough night last night, I was up half the night taking him out to pee. I kinda freaked out and when I get stressed I puke and um have other urgent reason to dash to the bathroom. So that happened. But today we are both doing much better. What is goin on […]
Open Forum: Storytime… 1994
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) […]
Open Forum: We’re Trying Not To Die Over Here
The weather is really strange in Atlanta today. It’s raining, but not that hard. There is thunder constantly rumbling, but not that loud. You don’t really see the lightning. It’s very dark outside. We are under a tornado watch. But things are eerily quiet. Banjo tried really hard to get to the back door to […]
Open Forum: Thoughts And Prayers
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 […]
Open Forum: Random Thoughts And Questions
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 […]
Open Forum: Random Tidbits
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 […]
Open Forum: I. JUST. CAN’T
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, […]
Open Forum: Caught In His Web
Sorry for the delay in this week’s open forum. There was oddly a lot of things to report on this weekend. You know I usually take Friday and/or Saturday “off” which means there is no pressure on me to get something up and I can just do what I feel like doing. But, it has […]
Open Forum: Super Bowl Sunday
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 […]
Open Forum: Snowmaggeden!
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 […]
OPEN FORUM: Mental Health Day
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 […]
Open Forum: Storms A Coming East Coast Friends
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 […]
OPEN FORUM: It’s Been A Bright, Bright Sunshiney Day!
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 […]
Happy New Year!
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 […]
Open Forum: You’re not going get rid of me that easily
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 […]
Open Forum: Merry Christmas Everyone!
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 […]
Open Forum: Is It Too Soon To Bring Back GDIAF?
I have commenting rules for a reason. This site is a one woman show. It’s also a 24/7 job. I never feel like I should not be looking for thing to report. There has not been a single day in the last ten years where I didn’t get something up. I feel like I have […]
Open Forum: VERY SAD NEWS
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 […]
