An email on Sunday morning from a scrapbooking sites informing me that there was a WONDERFUL Blog Train giving away a larger than life collection of elements and scrap accessories – I was excited, so I hopped on over to see this great package – all free. It wasn’t good! Several of the blogs Jumped…
Riley: Mom, I want this? Me: No. Riley: Moooooom? Me: No – 1 Riley: But I don’t have this is blue. Me: No – 2 Riley: Moooom, (aggravated sigh) what are you doing? Me: I’m counting how many times I have to say no after the initial no. Riley: That’s stupid. What if I don’t…
Let me reiterate – Never Blog about Religion or Politics. I’m breaking the rule again. As odd as ‘Sister Wives’ seems to me, they are far less creepy than ‘19 Kids and Counting‘. 19 Kids and Counting hits so close to home I get shivers. I grew up in that kind of home, not with…
April is Autism Awareness Month. However, if you live with Autism, pretty much you’re aware of it every moment. I don’t like telling people my daughter is autistic. It’s not that I’m ashamed, it’s that, just like every autistic child, she’s less complicated once you get to know her. First, many people give me the…

At this time I would like to reiterate that my husband is a wonderful man and fabulous father, this is just a list of things I don’t understand. I’m sure its not only MY husband who does these things, but there really needs to be a manual so women know these things are coming and…
The Weather in Maine There is a reason why Mainers are always shocked when it’s hot – it’s because it is so very rare. In Maine we get humid rain, humid snow, humidity when it’s only 50 degrees and warm days. This is how a Maine summer goes: June. June is nice. Usually around 50…
[ad#linkaboveadsense] [ad#468x15brownletters] I will be adding to this post, old entries will be lower than new entries.

I hate Google for many reasons. 1) Google makes everything harder than it has to be – just one example would be Google Groups 2) Google assumes it knows what you want and tells you the best way to do it. In reality Google does everything the most difficult way possible – just try AdWords,…
I opened my gmail account – which is mostly for spam, so I don’t open it often. And in my gmail was an invitation to join a group in G+ – when did G+ get groups? So I wandered over to G+, it wasn’t hard, they provided a link and WOW it looks nothing like…
sic • ’sik adverb [Latin] (circa 1859): intentionally so written — used after a printed word or passage to indicate that it is exactly as printed or to indicate that it exactly reproduces an original (Ex. Tom said he seed [sic] it all). As far back as I can remember my mother instilled in me…
Once upon a time in my 20’s I lived in Philadelphia. And once upon my 20’s the Big City Philly Girl returned to visit her roots in Maine. I was visiting my father for a week when he realized the clerk at Ye Ol’ Wheels and Deals forgot to charge my father for 2 of…

[ad#linkaboveadsense] [ad#468x15brownletters] My husband and I are doing our best to be “organic”. It’s slow going and expensive, but for the most part we are making it work. A few weeks ago I was on the phone with my non-organic sister confessing my guilt at purchasing a harsh chemical cleaner for our bathroom. I felt…
There are HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of Children on this planet absolutely desperate for a home. As bizarre as the Duggers are, obviously they aren’t child molesters or drug addicts – they would make wonderful Foster or Adoptive parents, but for some reason they choose to continue to breed even after the near death of their…
I was at Lowes this morning and the conversation went like this: Me: I need 2 cinderblocks. Salesmen: What kind? Me: Dumb look “The generic kind with 2 holes?” Salesmen: Smiles politely “What are you going to use them for” Me: Oh! Breaking. Salesmen: Dumb look Me: motioned a palm strike Salesman: Dumb look did…
A snap shot of myself: I am a white, republican, Christian, wife, mother of 2, stuck at home mom and I’m a direct descendant of Roger Williams – if you were looking for a poster child for Stuck-up American Superiority you would be searching for me. There are plenty of things “I don‘t get” and…
Neighborly “How well do you know your neighbors” 1) What kind of neighbor are you? 2) How well do you know your neighbors? 1) I’m not the “come over for beers and ribs” kind of neighbor. I’m not the hostess type and I’m a bit odd. I’m the kind of neighbor you want if your…
Let me get my Republican on for a moment. I’m a Republican like Susan Collins is a Republic – pretty much in Name Only! I tend not to lead in to a post or conversation with my political title because it gives people the wrong impression. But this time, I need to put on that…
Why have I never heard of this!?!?! WOW Cake in a mug is something that is fun to do with kids and even if you only “bake” once or twice a year, you are bound to have everything in your kitchen. This is a recipe Irene emailed me , the winner of the Xpress Redi…
It all started when Keeper was 3. We were in Walmart and she wanted to know what all the gardening tools did. Of course she HAD to try this ‘gardening’. So I got a bunch of stuff, thinking that we’d play in the dirt, she drown them and in a few days she’d forget all…
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. (Hardly seems worth it..) If you farted consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb. (Now that’s more like it!)…

I’ve been hearing rumors that Google Friend Connect will soon be restricted to Blogger users only. Good Riddance to Bad Trash. My take on this is – Real Sponsors don’t take Blogger blogs seriously and Serious bloggers are catching on. Recently there has been a mass exodus from Blogger as users realize “Hey I have…
Yes, the sky is falling and it’s not pretty! Good Grief WordPress is broken EVERYWHERE! I’m having flash backs. I think it was when WordPress went to 3 that the entire frame work seemed to collapse – I spent WEEKS fixing sites. This time the error looks a lot like what you see below. Removing…
I wish there were a rating system for Blogs. I know there is, but I mean something more like a NetFlix rating system. “eDee you liked these hilarious blogs, you may like these.” “These blogs are like those blogs that you rated 5 stars!” “Our picks for eDee” My Rules For Giving Your/Any Blog the…
