On the Saturday before last, we took a trip to the American Museum of Natural History. Things went pretty well as far as the trip goes. We left Amsterdam early armed with lots of muffins for breakfast, and only stopped twice for potty breaks. Amsterdam is approximately 2.5-3 hours from the city. The kids are… Continue reading American Museum of Natural History Part I (the rant)
Neat
I was looking for info on deodorizing the microwave, and I came across this page: Natural Cleaners Ammonia – cuts grease and strips wax; also a great window cleaner. DO NOT MIX WITH BLEACH. Bleach – great for whitening, removing mold and mildew, and most general cleaning. Best used diluted with water. DO NOT MIX… Continue reading Neat
What Happened To Music?
Music sucks these days, or is this what happens when you reach a certain age-you detest the current songs?

And conservative? Heck yes. So… Continue reading Because I’m not too proud to beg
A Prayer Request
A few weeks ago, I finished a 120 hour class in medical transcriptioning. I really enjoyed the class, but I need a job. Very few places are hiring entry level transcriptionists. Please ask St. Anthony, or the Blessed Mother to put in a good word for me. TIA.
Don’t Buy This
It sucks. I made the mistake and bought it on an impulse because it was on sale for $19 at Wal-Mart. Even though many of the prices I saw online were for $50-$70, $19 on crap is $19 on crap. I could have gotten a V-8. And a bag of bread flour. And some cream… Continue reading Don’t Buy This
