Question of the day: is buying a “Debt is Dumb” plaque a good way or a bad way to get into more debt? I don’t know if Dave Ramsey would approve.

Christmas Equals Pine Cones, right?

suebob — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 13:57:32 +0000

Lovely pine cones, with their distinctive scent and appearance are the perfect decoration for the winter holiday season.

Or not.

The line between existence and delusion is blurred. Imagination seeps through the cracks between what is in the head and the soul. What is really there? Confusion by others trickery? Frustration builds to a let down, chasing the rabbit back to the surrounding walls where the spirits could inhabit the body.

This piece can be displayed on a shelf, table, or bookcase. However, looks best hanging on a wall!

Christmas Idea: For Your Crazy Bird-Loving Sister (ahem)

suebob — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 15:00:25 +0000

Yes, my sister is a nutty bird lady, and I do love her. I don’t know if I love her enough to spend almost $500 on a slightly moth-eaten-looking crocheted poseable birdie, though:

Maybe I’ll just get her a bag of sunflower seeds and call it a day.

I don’t think the National Rifle Association would approve

Something to offend everyone – the lady of the house, who doesn’t like hunting, and the man of the house, who doesn’t want his dead animals crapped up with floral fabric.

Better not on paper

suebob — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 11:00:01 +0000

I’m probably not a good person to ask. I’ve been a vegetarian since the 1980′s. But does anyone really find a watercolor of a turkey carcass appealing?

Tell me it doesn’t kind of look like a lady…a big headless lady…and the bleeding cranberries add a nice, macabre touch. Just $400, in time for Thanksgiving.

Personally, I’d take the Kleenex box under the rosebush route, myself

Maybe because of the summer I spent living in a house with no interior doors (my sister had taken them down for painting and had never gotten around to actually painting), a 6-year-old and a very nocturnal hamster with a very loud Habitrail running wheel, I just can’t imagine wanting to do this:

Yes, it is. A hamster funerary urn. May also be used for gerbils and small parrots.

I have to admit, though, when my nephew’s stupid hamster (named “Spinner” (the hamster, not my nephew)) finally kicked the bucket, my only thought was not “How shall we memorialize our dear lost friend?” but “FINALLY!”

Well, that’s taken care of

Every year I have to do it. I just have to, once per year, buy a bag of candy corn and eat it until I feel sick. Then I ask myself “Why did I do that?” Until the next year.

Well, consider me cured.
