Reblogged from Barb's Blast: Twitter’s 140 character limit demands a specific, concise form of comedy writing that is demonstrated in the one-liner, epigram and aphorism. Comedians and comedy writers are skilled at this form. My video homage: Steve Martin elevates Twitter to an art form with clever and playful humor that is often surreal, and [...]
Will work for chocolate… With unemployment and underemployment so high, many of us are reinventing ourselves professionally. Baby Boomers, I’m not just talking to you!

However accurate they may be, the words “Beige,” “Fungus,” and “Urine” don’t seem to have the same attraction as “Champagne.” I hope the paint doesn’t have a lot of bubbles in it. I’ll bet it’s [...]

Your kid doesn’t need a “Tiger Mom” to berate or shame him or her into being a good student. They don’t need to be workaholics or spend all their time on homework, test prep, calculus or – God forbid – the violin! All they need is a desire to succeed, positive motivation, respect, common [...]

Based on the novel by Tom Perrotta. Screenplay by Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor. 1999. Paramount. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE ELECTION MOVIE?
I will downsize. This will involve donating 25 years + of crap (nonsense, rubbish, junk) that I no longer use and not getting new crap (nonsense, rubbish, junk). Clutter (see “crap”) is not only “stuck energy” – it is a real hassle to dust. I will rid myself of the tendency to complain, whine, and [...]
If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way.
