The color of our skin, no longer makes us kin, as any who look have seen, the color that matters now is green.

Still incomprehensible?

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 9 Feb 09

Disclaimer: perhaps this should be in politics rather than life, but I just couldn't find the damn politics button! Almost a year ago, I posted a real clunker of a discussion in politics. The only person who responded said they...

For love of Jake, my sweet and loving friend.

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 28 Aug 08

An old and dear friend is ready to leave us. His name is Jake, and he just turned 17. He was frail to start with, and he caught a cold last week that is going to be the end of him. He's a sweet tortoise shell tabby, and he was...

A story of disaster averted - summer edition

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 19 Aug 08

Was in Philadelphia recently for a doctor visit, took my companions to one of my favorite spots in Fairmount Park afterward. It's been a few years since I've been there, and there's been quite a bit of erosion along the hillside...

wow that would have been bad

Down the rabbithole again.......

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 20 May 08

Here's a classic entry in the "HUH?" category: On a recent evening, I needed to get out of the house a bit after midnight. I let the other "responsible" party in the house know I was leaving. He expressed regret that he...

Penguin spotted in our back yard?

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 29 Mar 08

Was out in the back yard today, nice out, thinking about the garden, etc. Deep in the back corner of my vision, my eyes spotted an unusual formation on the ground, and my brain tagged it as penguin-shaped. It clearly wasn't a...

The only legitimate function of government?

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 23 Mar 08

Over the last few years, I've listened to different ideas on the true purpose and/or legitimate functions of government. Every one I've heard has seemed to be missing some critical point... even my own! I think I've finally...

Makers of "Poppit "= evil capitalists?

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 22 Mar 08

Was wandering aimlessly around my local racino, Delaware Park, the other day, when I was suddenly drawn to a familiar sound: popping video balloons. The pleasure center in my brain instantly identified it as Poppit!, a...

Well, OK, they're getting somewhere.....

Latest upgrades are decent, don't you think? I like the emoticons. Of course, I'm a smarta**, so I tried putting in the code for some other ems I know.... didn't work. Varying the type is nice, too. I can see why they might not...

Spring cleaning time!

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 12 Mar 08

There was a downside to my long absence from myLot, aside from missing my friends... lots of old, unresolved discussions. I'm wading through them, rereading responses to do a fair job of handing out the BRs. I came across some...

Confessions of a mildly obese woman......

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 9 Mar 08

I like to feel fresh. I don't shower every single day in the winter, so I keep some flushable wipes in the bathroom to "tidy up" with. I was thinking how handy it is to have these little things around, which made me think of the...

Clearly, these folks never heard the phrase, "environmentally friendly"!

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 3 Mar 08

My brother got a coupon in the mail last week for a free pack of cigarettes when he buys one. Did it come in a small, recycled-paper envelope? Oh, no, no, no, my dear - it came IN A BOX. A six-piece, tri-fold, box within flaps...

A radio station DJ was asking people about the last song they could remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard it. I didn't call in, but it got me to thinking..... The most recent tune I can think...

"Fount" of much knowledge?

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 27 Feb 08

I have read on the toilet for almost as long as I've been able to read. I realized this morning, as I learned about a tax deduction we can use this year, that I have probably acquired more of my fairly large body of incidental...

Kinda hating it, so far.

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 20 Feb 08

Not too thrilled with my page at this time. I like being able to decide what gets featured at the top, rather than the software. When I tried to edit it, it put all my changes below the top section. Buggery! Hope the next round...

A different kind of resume?

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 19 Feb 08

I've struggled with major depression off and on since puberty. I'm currently disabled because of it. Over the years, I've developed a pattern of doing talk therapy for a year, two, maybe three, and then stopping the therapy while...

Truly twisted sister here!

OK, so it's Sat. am and I am still really, really down over yesterday's turmoil (that's another discussion!), plus I have the ghost of yesterday's awful headache. Yucky way to begin the weekend! I was clearing things off the...

Wow... back for a week and falling fast!

gardengrrl @gardengrrl (1445) • United States 8 Feb 08

I went inactive here for about 5 months due to various and assorted nonsense. I needed an outlet (and found my password), so I logged in and did a bit of cathartic posting. It felt terrific, but I guess I've offended someone,...

I can see you're confused, maybe this will help.

I have a picture in my mind's eye, of you sitting at a computer, perplexed, wondering, "Whatever did I do to set that crazy bi*ch off?" You poor thing, let me answer that for you! It was your assertion that I "fell off the face...
