Ledbetter vs. Goodyear – Resources and Join the Campaign

Ledbetter vs. Goodyear – Resources and Join the Campaign

I STILL don’t have time to write the long and thoughtful post I would like on this case, but I thought I could at least provide you with some excellent links on the Ledbetter vs. Goodyear case so that you can decide for yourself if you think Goodyear should be… Continue Reading Ledbetter vs. Goodyear – Resources and Join the Campaign

100 Words – Hooked

100 Words – Hooked

Good morning fair readers.  The day is grim outside and I’ve caught myself a virus of some kind, so I write from a cocoon of blankets as I peer out from puffy eyes.  It’s a sucky Tuesday in my neighborhood.   Last night I saw Eddie Izzard at the Orpheum, and… Continue Reading 100 Words – Hooked

Campaigning for Fair Pay Practices: Lilly Ledbetter

I have NO time to write as I have a busy work day and a busy play night ahead, but I want to alert you all to a campaign I’ve started on www.thepoint.com.   There is a lot to this story, but let me get to the pith.  Goodyear screwed over… Continue Reading Campaigning for Fair Pay Practices: Lilly Ledbetter

Another Reason I Hate Porn

Another Reason I Hate Porn

Because if you’re online AT ALL, you can’t avoid it.  It’s one thing if there’s a product out there, and sure I don’t mind if they spend some money on advertising because even if I don’t want their product, someone else might, or I might change my mind later, and… Continue Reading Another Reason I Hate Porn

FOOK Yoga!

FOOK Yoga!

This is my brain on Yoga: Ok, it’s hot in here, but I can take it.  I’m naturally flexible, this will be a piece of cake.  So what that that woman can fold her body in half?  So what? 10 minutes in: Ok, yes, yes, breathe in, fingers locked, reach… Continue Reading FOOK Yoga!

Libraries and Motherhood

Libraries and Motherhood

I miss libraries. There are few times in my life that I miss, probably because there have been many hard times, but I loved when my children were young and I stayed home with them. I love the term, “stay at home mom”, as though “mom” needs any sort of… Continue Reading Libraries and Motherhood

100 Words – Lips

  What? I give you “lips” and not one tawdry entry? Readers, you disappoint. No. I’m just kidding. Truth is, I think that this was my favorite challenge for submissions so far and it once again inspired me to write my own 100 Words this week. The Compliment “I just… Continue Reading 100 Words – Lips

Live Music Makes Life Worth Living

Live Music Makes Life Worth Living

One fantastic thing about where I live is that there is a LOT of live music every night of the week.  Last night I saw Unit 7, a local jazz funk band.  These guys so clearly have fun doing what they’re doing!  By the end of the night, almost everyone… Continue Reading Live Music Makes Life Worth Living

Don’t Try This at Home

Don’t Try This at Home

I know this one has been circulating for a while, but maybe like me this will be your first time seeing it.   The apple exploding is actually quite beautiful, but the watermelon?  One hair on the side of disturbing.  Too easy to imagine that as a body.  *Shiver* / Digg… Continue Reading Don’t Try This at Home
