What In The Name Of God Are People Doing With Be My Eyes?

So I’m updating apps on my phone this morning when I spot this line in the notes for the new version of Be My Eyes. “We now require users who sign up as blind to use Voice Over to avoid abuse.” I like to think my imagination is pretty alright, but I’m having a hard …

You Get A Stick! And You Get A Stick!

I’ll confess. I’m not sure I know what okra is. I thought it was that chick with the talk show, but apparently that’s wrong. What I do know for certain though is that it’s important enough to beat your brother with a stick over should the no good son of a bitch ever take some …

Someone Came Between Me And My Calvins

I can’t think of a better way to start a morning than reading about a dude with a bag on his head throwing a humping to a pack of women’s underwear in the great outdoors. So… According to police, on Wednesday afternoon officers were respondind to a call in Oklahoma City when a witness told …

Help Marianne’s Place Recover From A Flood

Wow, this is sad. Remember the women’s shelter I wrote about many moons ago? Well, thanks to a horribly-plugged toilet, they had a disastrous flood. So many of those every day food items and supplies that make the world continue to revolve in that place are destroyed. Walls, floors and ceilings need repair. And they …
