I’ve been watching The Tonight Show since Carson was in charge. I loved Johnny Carson and when he retired, I figured the show for a goner. I didn’t want to watch a new host, not even Jay Leno. It’s the Star Trek TOS vs TNG battle all over again. In the end, Leno won me [...]
I hate living in my town. For those of you who don’t know, I live in a tiny place called Hertford, North Carolina. It was founded some 400 years ago and it hasn’t progressed any since. It’s about as backward a place as you could ever find in this country, reminiscent of days gone by. [...]
These days, I don’t often find things that impress me. Heck, for the most part, America is falling apart. Juice pouches are springing leaks in the box, my Kleenex tissues are noticeably thinner, and the stupid water bottles are so thin they might as well BE Kleenex.
A month ago, I saw the commercial for the [...]
I’ve been downloading some more plugins, some brushes and filters. I like to play with images. There are hundreds of great tutorials on the net and I found a few awesome ones to do so that I could practice my skills and learn what the different effects do. Here are some of the results. The [...]
Since my oldest daughter is leaving for college next Thursday and my youngest daughter starts K5 six days after that, we decided to go to the beach. The little one had never been, I hadn’t been in about 20 years. So, on Monday, David stayed home from work, we packed all our gear into the [...]
I guess I’m on a roll. *LOL* If you go to the PSP tutorials page, you’ll find that I’ve put in two new tutorials: one for a nice piece of rope, and another for a sweet gingham. Hopefully, in the days to come, I’ll be putting up a plaid tutorial and perhaps even a few [...]
When they opened the new McDonald’s McCafe in Elizabeth City, I instantly fell in love with their iced mocha. My biggest problem is that the McCafe is 15 miles away from home (the current home, that is, not the future home) and they cost about $4.00. So, I did what I always do…I searched for [...]
I’ve always hated change. When I was a kid, I would refuse to eat anything but chicken sandwiches and chocolate milk for lunch. Cinnamon toast and hot cocoa was my breakfast, when I ate it. Hot roast beef sandwiches for dinner. I didn’t need any more than that, my best friend, and my bike. Life [...]
I have an addictive personality. Nothing harmful, mind you, unless you count cigarettes. I have a life-long addiction to those. But I get addicted to other things very easily. Chocolate. Coffee. The usual. I got addicted to crochet when my mom showed me how to make my own poncho 35 years ago. Thanks to her, [...]
Well, the election is finally almost over. Thank God. I’m sick of hearing about all of it, particularly the local races. I’m also really sick of hearing about how our elected officials are scum, they all need to be replaced. Then the voters turn right around and re-elect the scum they were just complaining about.
The [...]
