Putting a big red bow on a gift carries significant meaning. A big red bow says this is it! The top gift! None better! What you always wanted! A show stopper! That’s why you don’t put a big red bow on dish towels, socks or underwear. A big red bow belongs …

Instant lottery games, or ‘scratch-offs,’ are always brightly-colored tickets with cute, catchy names. You’ve seen them…’Double Doubler’, ‘Treasure Hunt’, ‘Holiday Cash’, ‘Cash Blowout’, ‘Money Explosion’ and the list goes on and on. Well I’m here to say not all instant ticket games are so cute & catchy. In fact, here’s a list of some …
Welcome to Brain Drain, the long-running bit where I let loose of things that disturb me. As you may have noticed, this is the 27th edition, and the first since “Brain Drain #26” in February. So either I am numb from annoyances…or nothing has happened in the world since then. (I wish that were …
I was looking at a calendar when I realized the date. Time to schedule a prostate exam with the doctor? Well, yes, but that’s not what I was referring to. I remembered it was my MS anniversary. The date, way back in 1996, when my life changed forever. With that I thought I would …

Enjoy this old, old My Odd Sock from 2013. It is so yucky it deserves a 2nd look! (New stuff coming soon!) We’re in a sticky situation here. One from which we need to wash our hands of the problem. (And use anti-bacterial lotion if available.) You see, we …
“World’s Smallest” is a phrase thrown around with great regularity. You will often see pictures of the world’s smallest Pekinese or world’s smallest bicycle. Lots of stuff hawked on TV claims to be the world’s smallest. But it all means nothing to me. I’m numb to it, as daily, I live in my own …
You hear it everywhere… “These are difficult days.” “We are in challenging times.” Hey, you are preaching to the choir, sister! And if you have multiple sclerosis like me, you probably know it as well. You see, every so often I suffer from a severe case of “antistipation.” Never heard of it? …
Hmm, maybe I’ll have a snack. Not really hungry just something to tied me over. A nosh. Just pecking on a bit. You know the feeling. Time to amble over to the pantry and take a looksy to see what I can find. Always something in the pantry, right? Behold on …
