On Further Thought
So I’m still mulling this stuff over (see previous post). Here’s a few more thoughts about How Not To Friend. Are you tempted to split, i.e. triangulate? An example of this would be to tell Person A that Person A’s significant other is the reason for (insert problem here*) and attempt to exclude Person A’s…

Conundrum
So I’ve been mulling over the most recent bit of wreckage along Impetua’s Freeway of Life. I can’t really speak in other than general terms out of some semblance of fairness to Involved Parties, but I’m allowed my opinions and so long as I don’t mention any names etc then all’s fair in love, war,…

MEOW MOTHERF*CKER
So I’m staying at my Dad’s for a couple days helping out with some odds and ends and he has this cat that he took in because she was a stray and pregenönte. She’s tiny and cute and has had the babies and they are weaned now. The cat and kittens are kept in the…

I see you
If you decide to publish passive aggressive bullshit about your family (or your husband’s family) on your BUSINESS Facebook page, you’re an idiot with poor boundaries. When it intersects in an undisclosed and vague way with MY family, you’re a piece of garbage and you can be super sure that I’m thinking a lot of…

Manifold Destiny
So my dad informed me ruefully that my intake manifold is shot. This is some thing no woman of a certain age wants to hear, particularly from her father. “See this corrosion here? It’s not going to get a good seal to the carburetor.” Me too, intake manifold. Me too. Anyway, this resulted in a…

Jolene, pt. 2
So on a recent Friday I went and picked up an engine hoist and transmission jack from a rental outfit using my dad’s pickup. It’s a massive diesel rig with rear duals and an honest to God hydraulic lift in the bed, which impressed the heck out of the rental dudes who loaded the stuff…

Jolene, pt. 1
So I’m probably the luckiest person in the world. Except when I’m not, but that’s a story for another time. A little over a week ago my dad and brother came over and we spent a carefree five days removing the engine and transmission from my 1965 Chevrolet Bel Air, Jolene. Jolene ran when I…

Fat Loser
So just over a week ago I stepped onto the scale, as I do every morning when not vacationing in some exotic locale, expecting that I would still be burdened by the same couple of wretched pounds I’ve been struggling with for the past few weeks. I embarked upon this one way ticket to smallerness…

Ridiculously satisfied with myself
So every year that it is happening The Lovely Rhonda and I attend the three nights of Dave Matthews at the Gorge Amphitheater over Labor Day. My birthday is September 7th so sometimes it’s right at my birthday which is cool. The way Labor Dave works is that you camp for the long weekend, from…

‘Nother Update
So you guys. I bought a belt today. I haven’t owned a belt in literally years. At this point I’ve lost more than ninety pounds. When I last measured myself a little over a month ago, I’d lost 26 inches off of my various body parts from pre-surgery measurements. I’ve gone from barely fitting into…
