This last week I finally got around the getting my websurfing organized... a little. My homepage is iGoogle, which is extremely customizable (mine is five pages long). I made a quantum improvement by adding Google Reader for feeds. It’s great to keep up with sites that have 100 updates a day, so I can scan headlines and decide which to read, and for sites that DON’T update every day, so I get a notifier when they do. I still use Bloglines, but can’t get direct feeds on my homepage with it, just a notifier. I also joined Feedburner. If you want to grab a feed of this site for your reader (whatever kind you use), the link is in the sidebar under “Visitor Tools” where it says “Subscribe in a reader.”  Feedburner also has widgets available, like the animated headline widget you see under “Affiliates” -this one shows the headlines on my other blog, Miss C Recommends. I still have a long way to go before I’m really organized. ...

Birdbrain
2007-08-17 06:06:10
Remember a couple of weeks back when I told about finding a birdsnest in my tomato trellis? It was a wren, who laid four eggs total. She’s quite a birdbrain, because whenever I went to the garden, she immediately signalled her location by flying out of the nest and up to a tree. Maybe she’s young, but I wondered whether other creatures affected her in this manner. Apparently so, because the next time I peeked at the nest, there were only two eggs left. And a week later, no eggs. It could’ve been a snake, or a possum, or maybe some predatory bird. But I guess that’s nature’s way, making sure the mother survives to lay more eggs next year. I just hope she’s smarter by then, and builds a nest higher than four feet off the ground.   This penguin doesn’t want you to pet him. (via Arbroath) Danger Bird hitches a ride.

There’s not as much culture on this site as there should be. Someone mentioned a couple weeks ago that I have more traffic than they did, and I explained that it was because he has important and serious things to say, and I have fart jokes. But every once in a while, I like to put some real culture in amongst the rednecks and LOLcats and dirty jokes. Lucky for you, I am able to resist those urges and carry on like I always have.

Airplanes
2007-08-15 06:01:43
Did you hear that the folks at Boing Boing got to name an airplane? They named the Virgin America plane Unicorn Chaser, which brings up an image of a mythical Pegasus-like creature tripping through the sky. Actually, “unicorn chaser” is a term they use for a beautiful sweet picture of unicorns used to help take your mind off the nasty, disgusting blog post that preceded it. But it works in this case. If I had that kind of opportunity, I’d name a plane something like Safety Net or World Wide Wait or something they’d never want to publicize.

Writing
2007-08-14 06:08:04
Writing is not easy. Just for a small blurb about a link, or a photo-heavy article, I find myself going over and over every word, rearranging, adding, deleting, trying to make it more clear and concise. The finished product doesn’t reflect the effort. If I stay up til 3AM to get something finished, it shows. There will always be a typo or an extraneous word that I won’t notice til some commenter points it out. Then it’s too late to pretend it never happened. Yeah, one great thing about writing on the internet is that you can edit after the fact, but you can’t, or rather shouldn’t, delete the comment pointing to the mistake. Just a few days ago, I found an excerpt from one of my articles reprinted at Neatorama with a typo in it! Aaaagh! I can fix the original, but I can’t fix what was already copied from it. Honestly, I am more literate than it seems. I just get in a hurry and my eyesight is slowly going south. But I can still joke about it! ...

Law and Order
2007-08-13 06:08:03
My mother reads mystery novels. I always preferred true crime stories, because truth is stranger than fiction. Really, if stories about folks like Ted Bundy or Charles Manson were written in novels, everyone would say it’s not believable. I loved books by Edna Buchanan and Anne Rule, or anyone who could both research a case and make it fascinating. Then there’s Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, which will make your blood run cold. The case of Jack the Ripper is over 100 years old, and people are still writing books, positing theories, and discussing the case (like my friends at JTR Forums). The lesser-known cases, where you don’t know how it’s going to end, are even more fascinating. But on the other hand, there are some funny things about law and order and crime and punishment we can enjoy, too. Maximum Security Workout (Thanks, Jan!) Could you solve the perfect murder?

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve been tweaking my link site, Miss C Recommends. Sort of expanding the format. I now have a “video of the day” every day, and sorted the linkdumps into categories, plus I’m trying to rush neat things I find onto the site as soon as I can. Check it out, you’ll find something new every day, and sometimes several times a day. Let me know what you think; suggestions are welcome. And if you are a regular and I still don’t have  you on the blogroll over there, let me know so I can fix it. I’ve been pretty busy lately, and a lot of things have slipped through the cracks. Anyway, I’m trying to make Miss C Recommends into something that people want to check regularly. If you check that site through the week, then this weekend slew of links over here won’t be so much to chew on at once! I don’t know anything about this cartoon, except that it’s pretty cool. T ...

Wedding Vows
2007-08-10 06:15:26
I’ve posted before about why weddings are such a rich subject for comedy. And they ARE going to be videotaped. So if something goes wrong, it will be all over the internet within a day or two. People love it when a ton of money goes into something that backfires -for someone else. Seems like a lot of trouble for nothing to me. My last wedding was in the back room of the county court clerk’s office. The bride and groom wore relatively matching ensembles, consisting of blue jeans and flannel shirts. Lunch for two at Wendy’s followed, thanks to a coupon deal. Ha! Turns out that, for me anyway, the  cheaper the wedding, the better the marriage.

Cooking
2007-08-09 06:06:25
In the dog days of August, I try to avoid cooking more than I have to. But I have to because its canning season. To save time, I am putting the kids to work making tomato juice. They love to put tomatoes through the blender and the food mill, and they are willing to do the  tomato-washing and cooking in between. But they seem to have a small problem with cleanup duties. They processed a ton of tomatoes yesterday while I took a nap, and the kitchen looked like a murder scene. Every dish and utensil in the house was used in some way, and the floor was quite slippery. I’ll be scraping tomatoes off the walls for weeks to come, starting as soon as the last batch of salsa is finished. But I’m proud of them for producing a large batch of quality juice, which they are even willing to drink! Beatboxing in the kitchen. (via b3ta) What’s Cooking, Grandma?

Mixed Drinks
2007-08-08 06:10:08
At one time in my life, I kept a rather well-stocked bar in my apartment (in a state where that was legal) and prided myself on mixing a nice cocktail. If you keep a half-dozen basic kinds of alcohol around, and a couple of flavors of soda pop, you are in business. I had 10-12 kinds of booze, sour mix, coconut milk, fresh fruit, tonic, and several kinds of soda. Over time I realized that everyone I knew just wanted a beer, and they’d just as soon get it at the local watering hole, where there were pinball games. Oh well. It was tasty while it lasted. Now I keep only my favorite Southern Comfort handy. I haven’t had a drink in months, but I will if I ever get caught up on work!   Whiskey Ad (who’s intimidating now?) Viagra cocktails.

First Date
2007-08-07 06:07:23
I make jokes about how I can’t get a date, but by now I’ve pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I won’t find a date, or serious relationship, or even a frivolous relationship, as long as I am “geographically undesirable” (thanks to Skunkfeathers for that lovely term). And even if I moved to a desirable place, my chances would only rise to about 1% because I am a middle-aged woman with minor children. The upside to that is I can pretend that my looks and personality are not to blame! So I have decided to give up my whining about my personal life, at  least for now, unless I can make something really funny out of it. You can thank me later. Meanwhile, lots of other folks are having difficulty finding someone special, too, so we can continue to laugh at them.

Cinema

My kids once thought they are so hip because they had so many movies memorized. Ha! One of my great pleasures is to introduce them to some classic they’ve never heard of and watch them enjoy it as much as I did the first time. West Side Story. The Love Bug. Planet of the Apes. Fiddler on the Roof. As they age, I can add more to their repertoire. They have yet to see Casablanca, because I want them to understand the political aspect as well as the romance, and they haven’t studied much history yet. But mama keeps finding “new” movies they love, so now I am the “hip” one. I guess I should enjoy it; they’ll be teenagers soon and I’ll be just an old fogey once more.

Teenage Boys
2007-08-05 06:04:00
No, I don't have any teenage sons. I will be on the lookout when my daughters get a bit older. From what I hear, I'll need to buy a much larger refrigerator if I want them to hang here at the house instead of taking my girls out of my sight. I ran into the son of a friend a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't seen him since he was 14 and a little bit taller than me. Now he's 16 and stands about 18 inches over me! It takes a lot of cheeseburgers to achieve such stature. Can you imagine trying to exert your will over someone twice your size? I'm sure a lot of you moms can and do, but just the thought of doing it without a  large father to help  frightens me.

I had no earthly idea the LOLcat of Death post at mental_floss was so popular. Sure, it got a lot of comments, but it was only yesterday that I  checked to see if there were any other sites linking to it. There were 56 on Technorati. What? So, I checked, yes it was on Digg, with 2758 Diggs! I may be late for the party, but I still appreciate it. Now, if I could only come up with things that popular for MY site... but then again, no one would have submitted it to Digg if it were on this site! Yesterday, it took me almost an hour to pick all the ripe tomatoes in my garden. I kept filling bucket after bucket. And I know it will be the same tomorrow. My refrigerator is full, my window sills are full, there are baskets and buckets of tomatoes laying about, and I have some ripening outside because there’s no room inside. Meanwhile, I’m making stewed tomatoes, tomato juice, tomato soup, and salsa as fast as I can. That’s why I haven’t kept up with the normal ...

Bad Blonde Jokes
2007-08-03 06:02:51
To finish off a really “bad” week, (Bad Parenting, Bad Sex, Bad Science, and Bad Medicine) I went to a really bad category in my files... blonde jokes. Not too many links, but I’ve had a bit of a time crunch, with more tomatoes than I’ve ever grown all deciding to ripen at the same time. And that time would be during the back-to-school sales. And the local fair. So forgive me for taking the easy way out today, as I get caught up (yeah right) or TRY to get caught up on all the other things in my life. And if I get a decent amount of work done this weekend, I’ll reward myself with a dye job!

There appears to be a pattern developing here. After Bad Parenting on Monday, and Bad Sex on Tuesday, how could I not follow that with Bad Science?

Let me start this off by admitting I’m a bad parent myself. Every day I try to figure out where the line is between protecting my children and forcing them to grow up, between goofing off and setting a bad example, between spoiling them and being good to them. I’m constantly erring on one side or the other, but I only find out when it’s too late. How can you be a perfect parent? By the time you figure out how to do it, it’s already done.

Remember way back, when The Wizard of Oz was shown on TV once a year? I believe it was in the fall. The next day at school, we would all be discussing what the best parts were. And somebody would mention the part where the movie starts to be in color. I didn�t know what point that would be, because it was black and white all the way through on my TV! Which explains why I didn't see the humor in the "horse of a different color" joke until I became an adult. My children can't fathom a world where you had to wait a year to see a movie.

Insects and Bugs

Every summer, I have to deal with vermin. Ants come in every year, and I know exactly how to deal with them. Fruit flies, too. But this year, for the first time, I had a flea infestation. See, there are mice in the basement. The neighborhood cats come in after the mice. My kids thought it would be nice for our cats to take thehm out for walks, which brought the fleas inside. I was the last to know, since the cats sleep with the kids. Its taken three rounds of treatments, each more expensive than the last, to get rid of them. Take my advice- if you ever have fleas, start with the most expensive treatment you can get. Ask a veterinarian. We used a combination of pills for the cats, drops for the cats’ skin, and fog bombs for all nine rooms. Knock on wood, it seems to have worked this time.

Mars and Venus: Marriage

We all make jokes about how awful marriage is, and there’s a lot of reason to! Anytime you put two people together, there’s going to be clashes of one sort or another... or all kinds. But we keep doing it! Even though the rate of legal marriage is going down, people still seek a committed cohabitating partnership. Some folks do it over and over again, hoping to get it right this time. Why? Because when all is said and done, having someone to talk to, to sleep with, and to grow old with beats doing it all by yourself.   How Men Talk to their Wives.

We have reached the time of year where I reap the bounty of months of gardening. At first, you’re pretty tickled to have one beautiful large tomato for supper, especially as early as this year (June 21st)! Then the real harvest piles up, til I’m buried under fresh vegetables. I took these pics over the last couple of weeks. The best ones of the flower garden were too sunwashed to use, but you can click on these to see them full-size. I picked a peck of banana peppers for pickling (yield: 23 jars). Bell peppers and jalapenos will follow. I probably have two bushels of tomatoes waiting to be processed, and more ripening every day.

Underwear and Lingerie

This post on underwear was already scheduled when Rich sent me this picture. Really! The exact thing I’m looking for seems to fall into my lap at the last minute lately. It’s been several months since we took a look at underwear. At least on this site. Personally, I’ve been shopping for the new school year, so I’ve looked at too much underwear. I have one child who constantly outgrows everything, and another who never gets any bigger, so the backlog of hand-me-downs just keeps growing. Meanwhile, the smaller one has to have new underwear of the SAME size as always, because her current supply is just worn out. So guess who doesn’t get any new underwear this year?
