Just Between Us

I have so much to tell you!

  • Oil

    Decayed dinosaurs Drive the world’s cars And send men to die in wars. Read more

  • Word Search-a-Palooza

    Word Search-a-Palooza On the drive in to work this morning, I started thinking about the words “prescription” and “subscription.” Literally they mean “in advance of the writing” and “below the writing” to me. Prior to researching the etymology,  I felt like they had nothing to do with what they actually mean to an English speaker.… Read more

  • Breaking Metaphorically

      I try to be a pleasant person – put on a pleasant face, use a pleasant tone of voice, nod pleasantly as others speak to me. I try to shield others from my internal disdain, disbelief, disgust and disapproval of their obviously immature thoughts and decisions. However, I have been told that my face… Read more

  • I do not recommend

    •Raw eggs, undercooked chicken. Get it from the colonel cause his is finger lickin’ •unknown illnesses, misdiagnosed at urgent care They really did not listen, wasted time going there. •tissues without lotion, after blowing my nose for 3 weeks Because of walking pneumonia that could have killed me you hideous, uncaring, untrained, insensitive human freaks.… Read more

While thinking how convenient it… Read more

  • The Changing Tides

    I have a Tide pen that I bought about seven years ago. It works and it still has a lot of juice in it. However, now that it’s pretty old, it smells like spoiled milk – like when a baby throws up on you after it drank an entire bottle of baby formula and right… Read more

  • It’s Okay.

    It’s not really okay. But I will tell you it’s okay. Don’t be offended when I roll my eyes or flash a pinched smirk and look at you over the top of my glasses. Don’t be offended because my face says “What?” It’s your fault. I’ll say it’s okay, but you better believe it’s not.… Read more

  • It strains me to avoid giving advice. I have so much advice. It’s bubbling up as the response to every question. “Hey Lady! Should I buy the blue sweater in my left hand or the brown sweater in my right hand?” Okay, the total stranger standing in the clothing store looking at seaters did not… Read more
