Making Works-For-Me Wednesday Work For You (Or, Sex Sells Even WFMW)
10.21.08 | Permalink | 22 CommentsThe Well-Rounded Woman and I talk blogging a lot. Often we talk about how to make the Works-For-We Wednesday carnival work for us. We’re totally jealous that Shannon created the carnival, because if even ten other people sit on her site like we often do on a fine Tuesday night, boy! is she racking up [...]

WFMW: Real Tips! Microwaves, Snopes, and Diet Coke Bombs!
09.23.08 | Permalink | 26 CommentsI hesitated to post this tip, because I am probably the last person on earth to know about it. But I finally tried this method of cleaning my microwave, and IT WORKS! (Thanks Mom; it wasn’t that I didn’t believe you. It just sounded too easy). If your microwave looks like, say, this: [Oh, I [...]

Does It Matter? Blogging Rules
07.06.08 | Permalink | 15 CommentsI was fascinated by the discussion on Rocks in My Dryer last year after Shannon’s Does It Matter? post.

Go on, ask me how much I make on [...]

All you ever needed to know about manners, and how to teach them to your kids
06.09.08 | Permalink | 14 CommentsEverything I know about manners I learned from The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners. Brother and Sister Bear are just about as impolite as it gets. And then there’s Papa Bear, who’s basically Homer Simpson in a bear suit. In fact, if I were Promise Keepers: Men of Integrity, I’d be suing Stan and Jan [...]

Recipe for a Happy Summer, and some encouragement for Hillary
06.03.08 | Permalink | 7 CommentsSally’s school year is dragging on endlessly, which is fine with me. We’ve been house-hunting for months, but now that the weather is fine, my requirements have changed from 1) good neighborhood, 2) open floorplan, and 3) four bedrooms to 1) fenced-in yard, 2) fenced-in yard, and 3) fenced-in yard. In fact, since even with [...]

Man Laundry
05.27.08 | Permalink | 20 CommentsLike the Man Cold, Man Laundry is similar to Woman Laundry, yet inexplicable in execution. Why can’t a man do laundry like a woman? It’s not a matter of intelligence, of course. Dick went to graduate school at an Ivy League Institution, but really that is nothing compared to the fact that last night he [...]
