I just bought a small laptop that is ready to connect to wifi. I plan to use it when I travel. I hope I can find plenty of free wifi hotspots!

Do they EVER grow up????
I would never have expected in a million years for tonight’s scene to happen. My significant other came home from work and announced that he had an Elks meeting tonight and he needed to take a nap until about 6pm.
Much to my surprise, as he was walking out the door to go to the meeting he said to me “Oh, by the way, I’m supposed to bring several dozen home made cookies to tonight’s meeting!”
Well, you know what? I haven’t made home made cookies in years, and I don’t have any just lying around the house, either! When my kids were in elementary school, they used to spring that kind of thing on me, but it was at least the night before we needed the cookies, not as we were walking out the door!
So, I ask you, do they EVER grow up?

I’m listening to a bunch of propaganda about oil
I’m listening to the news on television right now, and I am not happy about what they are saying about the price of oil continuing to rise, and the profits of the oil companies are continuing to rise, and there just seems to be no end in sight. It seems that every time I hear about how the government or big businesses have the opportunity to promote alternative energy sources they do everything they can to sabotage the idea. It’s really quite sickening. I think that the oil companies are gouging us, and there seems to be little I can do about it. I’ve already cut down on our energy consumption as much as possible. The whole thing is very discouraging.

More unsafe food!
Good grief, it is getting to the point where I have to get up and ask “what’s the unsafe food of the month?” Is all of this unsafe food a result of laziness, corporate greed, sabotage, what is it? Thank goodness there are mechanisms in place for recalls, but really people, we shouldn’t HAVE to be recalling all of this stuff! What a horrible shame that someone has dropped the ball, making so many people fall ill because of unsafe food making it to the grocery store. I’m starting to be ashamed of the human race. We OUGHT to be better than this!
