Flu-be-do-bee-do
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m not getting a flu shot this year. In fact, I’ve never had one, despite being the mother of a young child. I can’t remember exactly why, but I escaped getting one last year, and the topic has come up yet again. I just don’t want a flu shot. Read the rest...

Forever Football
I live very close to a professional football stadium. And any time the team has a home game, the city shuts down. I can’t get out of or back into my neighborhood. I curse every mulletted, foam-fingered,jersey-wearing, fat-ass, red-and-blue-face-painted fan pouring out of the arena and parking lot. I curse their giant trucks and their bumper stickers and their flags. I judge. I point. I fume. Read the rest...

Say It Like You Mean It.
So, yesterday I was a part of a conversation where one person whispered the word asshole. As in, said, My husband be such an an asshole. And then another person said, I always just say '<em>ah-sho-lay</em>' instead of Asshole. Read the rest...

I Pity the Fool
First of all, let me say that when I was young, I watched the A Team like it was freaking church. And when the A Team wasn’t on, and Murdock wasn’t sneaking a backpack into a warehouse disguised as a pregnant woman, and Mr. T. wasn’t being drugged and thrown on a plane, I watched the cartoon that featured Mr. T. and his team of young gymnasts fighting petty crime like kids stealing from dime stores.

Money Tip
Well, it’s that time of year again. The time of year when I end up in a minor meltdown over money. The time of year when I come out of a delusional fog and realize that we spend like kings and earn like beggars. The time of year when I give the Make Some Changes speech to my better half and anyone else who will listen. Read the rest...

Cooties
I’m smack in the middle of a pathophysiology class, and spent 4 hours of my week talking about skin disorders. Geesh. Ever seen a photo of the gnarliest jock itch imaginable? I have. Boils? Check. Varieties of fungi and bacteria you never knew existed in places you never want to host them? Check. But perhaps most disturbing has been our extended conversation about hand washing.

OMG.
I’m pretty sure I don’t need to tell you about the hot water that one Mr. Mark Foley has gotten his Republican self into. And I assume you know I don’t mean hot water like fun, relaxing, Jacuzzi hot water. I mean hot water like… well, the bad kind of hot water. Read the rest...

Neither Itsy Bitsy nor Teeny Weeny
You know when you’re at a party, and you’re talking to some guy, and he’s all like, “I was the first bass player for My Morning Jacket, but I quit the band to focus on acting??? or “I totally used to hang out with Owen Wilson back in the day,??? or “I actually had the idea for MySpace, but I didn’t think to patent it???? Well, there is now one less of that guy in the world, and in death he is taking the public outing for all of the rest of them. Read the rest...

Wolves on a Truck
Whew! I am road weary, folks. We’ve just returned from a visit to the home state, the mothership, the ventricle of the heartland: Indiana. And while the visit was wonderful, ten hours in a car with a confined eleven month old makes time crawl to a near-frigging-halt. Read the rest...
