When I’m hungry, I eat. When I’m thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.” - Madonna

As I said in a recent post, I’ve really been enjoying the Olympic Games.  My youngest daughter and I have actually missed very little.  My husband, who is generally in another room getting his whole baseball thing on, does show up for the swimming, but that’s about it.  When the gymnasts start tumbling, he heads [...]

You know, you can count on two things to happen just about every day.
1. Someone with the last name “Hogan” will make us wonder why God invited humans onto the ark.
2. More experts tell us how we can live better and longer if we start drinking Green Tea.

Why Are So Many People Lonely?

by joi on August 12, 2008

People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges. - Unknown
The thought of someone being lonely makes me incredibly sad. I can’t imagine how absolutely horrible loneliness must feel. Being an only child, you’d think I’d have some idea of lonely, but pets, friends, and family (not necessarily in that order!) more than [...]

First of all, I want to pay my respects to Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes. They will always be remembered for making people smile, and it’s pretty hard to top that for a legacy. They were far too young, and come on, far too cool, to leave us so early. Maybe that was it - [...]

“Life is a joke. The only way to survive it is to find the right punchline.” - Becky Alunan
A few months ago, it struck me just how important it is to have a sense of humor.  My husband and I had looked forward (literally for months) to a particular event.  When the big day finally arrived, we were [...]

Signs of the Times or Just Bad Manners?

by joi on August 7, 2008

I’m a student of people and their behavior.   Whether it’s a rude person I encounter online or a sweet, talkative girl in the Ritzy’s drive thru (with an adorable Canadian accent I could have listened to all day), people fascinate me.
I’ve noticed a few changes lately in temperment.  I realize it’s ridiculous to talk in generalities, so let [...]

Being Sly as a (Fire)fox When Blogging

by joi on August 7, 2008

I’ve never really taken a side in the Internet Explorer vs. Firefox battle simply because I think both offer great options.  Truth be told, people who get overly bent out of shape over this little rivalry give me a headache - they just have to have some better cause to champion.  Wouldn’t you think? 
While there’s nothing [...]

Why in the world do we often fall prey to the same demons time and time again?! I mean, once we gain a little ground on them, wouldn’t you think we’d never go back?  Don’t reasonable people learn from their mistakes and never make the same one ever again.
Absolutely.  In Fairy Tales.
The problem is, we’re [...]
