Gay jokes still aren’t funny

April 7, 2012January 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

If I could tell you who it was, I would. This weekend while I was driving toward my usual photo hike I was listening to the radio. The morning DJs were in the midst of a routine that I can only assume was meant to be humorous. After only a couple of jokes, I turned … Continue reading Gay jokes still aren’t funny

49 and a half

April 4, 2012January 7, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 9 Comments

Today, I am exactly 49 and a Half. For those of you who are chronologically challenged, that puts the big FIVE-O birthday in October. (For those so inclined to lavish gifts on the sadly aged,  here's my 'Buy Me This' List.) Prior to our teen years, tacking on that 'Half' was vitally important. That's when … Continue reading 49 and a half

Well, it's been here a while, but I finally got to work and took advantage of the frostless days and started my annual attempt at growing things. I have a notorious brown thumb, but it never keeps me from trying. Several years ago my husband built me two raised planters, and … Continue reading Spring has sprung

Cheeseburger and fries

March 23, 2012January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 8 Comments

When I was young, it was a special occasion for our family to go to McDonald's. This was the 60s understand, so Mickey D's was still a new phenomenon. Until then, if you wanted hamburgers you'd go to the drive-in. I still want to leave my window up a little when at Sonic, waiting for … Continue reading Cheeseburger and fries

Comment shenanigans

March 18, 2012January 7, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 11 Comments

Dear Friends, A recent update to WordPress.com commenting options has forced commenters with emails attached to WP.com accounts to be logged in before their comments are accepted. That apparently is true even though I don’t require commenters to register and log in to comment. The explanation for the update was to protect against counterfeit comments … Continue reading Comment shenanigans
