    Liner Notes by *YOU*

    We've all seen them, they even come with digital downloads these days! Liner notes are cool stuff that comes inside the record sleeve or CD case or mixed in with your pixels, that tells you things about the music. Maybe they were little stories about what happened in the studio, or the lyrics to...

    Hey all!

    It's been a while, but I'm trying to get caught up around here. I was so excited, waiting for the boards to open on Monday, and then my week went by like juice through a kid on a roadtrip, and here it is already Friday! I'm glad the boards are still open, in the olden days I'd have had to wait...

    My dog died.

    My dog, Kaywinnet, had been having issues with her kidneys for a while. But there were no symptoms, just wonky levels on her lab work. She did well on her special food for dogs with crummy kidneys for a long time. And there were medicines and painkillers that helped too, but the pain was just...

    Hipmamajen? Who's that?

    Is what I'm sure you're asking yourselves, because I've been completely gone lately. Guys, I fell in a hole and got plowed under. I'm still under. I just can't get my ****e together. GNTLGNT called me weeks ago and asked me to do a pretty minor thing for him, and I still haven't managed it...

    <Shudder>

    We have lice. Specially imported from the Hawaiian islands on my niece's dreadlocks (which have been laboriously combed out.) Now my 3 daughters have them too, probably from all the combing. It took me and the three of them hours and hours over three days, and I'm guessing some head-scratching...

    Potty Training

    Torleif turns 3 on Saturday, and we're going to bring up the subject of using the potty with him. A lot of kids are completely out of diapers by now, but my kids have all been late to catch on in the past, and he's exhibited no signs that he's ready at all. For instance, as recently as last...

    Leos?

    I'm a Leo, do we have any other Leos here among the faithful? I think Leo is the best sign to be. But I'm not sure I think that because it truly is, or because that's totally something a Leo would think because we're just so full of awesomeness. Honestly, I don't really believe in astrology...

    Head in the Clouds, Literally

    Up In the Air: Meet the Man Who Flies Around the World for Free I can barely figure out how to book a flight, but this kid's been gaming the system since his early teens. He doesn't even keep a home anywhere, he just jets around the world full-time, sleeping in luxury first-class airline suites...

    Are You a Super-Recognizer?

    Are YOU a ‘super recogniser’? Take the test to see if you are one of an elite group of people who never forget a face I didn't take the test, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm not the droid they're looking for... One time my husband and I played pool with a guy for a couple of hours. I went...

    Weekend surprise!

    Today is not Father's Day. That's the surprise! If you're me, at least. All month long I was planning for a massive dog pile of events, because everyone I know has a kid who is graduating (okay, not everyone, 2 or 3 people don't), my husband's birthday was Friday, we attended a vow renewal...

    Eulogy/Lessons for My Life

    Some of you probably remember that I lost a really special friend back in 2013. Alysia was 17 when she passed, and had had medical issues her entire life. She was never able to eat properly, and always had a tube leading straight to her stomach that was used to give her specialized formula, or a...

    Just a few thoughts from a regular Jen

    Hey guys. A lot of you know me, and a lot of you don't. I've been around here for a few years now, but I tend to come and go when real life gets too, real lifey. Recently I was gone for about six months, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Pardon my Latin...and my absence, I really missed...

    Not even Satan will claim this guy....

    Killer tries to carve 666 in forehead, ends up with 9s. What?!? I could totally understand if he ended up with "ddd" because he was using a mirror, but how did he get them all the way upside down?

    What have I missed?

    It's been forever! I have thought about you guys a lot, but I haven't managed to get much time on the computer in ages. I have a Facebook I update regularly for my family, and I keep that pretty upbeat, other than that I'm offline most of the time. Our Sweet Sigmund has reached out to me a...
