I’ve been using a Linksys Wireless G router here at home for about a year and a half now. I’ve gone through a couple of computers, no sweat. I’ve moved a couple of times, no sweat. That router has been connected and re-connected many times, using different computers, and different cable modems. It always worked [...]

Women watched in horror years ago as Hillary stood beside Bill as he spouted his “apology” to the US citizens. Now we must again stand by as Silda Spitzer appeared to support her husband, New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, as he apologized for his affair.
Why is it in the world of politics, women “MUST” [...]

I was involved in a discussion of some very lighthearted things today with several friends. We were laughing over each other’s fears and encounters with things like spiders, bats, snakes and the like.
Somehow, the conversation suddenly turned towards me. I was asked things like “but don’t you LIKE things like that as a witch?”. [...]

Online auction site eBay has said they will edit the feedback system, beginning in May, 2008.

My daughter was searching for kid-friendly free online games tonight. She came across one named Short Bus Rampage. The description of the game is as follows:

I was sitting at my computer earlier, well after midnight. It was maybe about 2 - 2:30am. All of a sudden, my oldest daughter ran in here crying, saying to call the police. Apparently, our neighbors were fighting again. We live in a townhouse, and only a wall separates part of our unit from theirs. [...]

On Monday, December 4th, I placed an order with RitzCamera.com for something for my daughter for Christmas. I immediately paid for my order via PayPal. Of course, the money was taken out immediately.
Later that day, I received an apologetic email, saying that the item was discontinued, and my order was canceled. Not a word was [...]

Most of the time, I do really damn well. I work more than full time… from home. It’s not as easy and “wonderful” as most people think. It’s hard. VERY hard. I have constant interruptions: The kids, the phone, the tv, the laundry, the doorbell. The list never ends. Block it out? Impossible. I don’t [...]

Earlier, I received a comment in Moderation for my post on Religious Tolerance. It was quite rude, telling me how Wicca is “stupid” and a “scam”, and that the person has lost all respect for me. Oh! and that I should grow up. I deleted it of course, they didn’t even bother to leave their [...]
