Oh, yay...it's wheat.
So we finally got me feeling well enough to test it...and yes, my strange new allergy is wheat. Wheat is what was trying to stop my breathing, burn through my upper lip, make me cold, cause whole-body itch, and fog up my thinking. Try getting some enthusiasm going over that when you've......Read More

Cursed.
You know, I really feel as if I've been cursed. I was sick over all of the Yuletide holidays, and into the New Year. As I type, I am still feeling the effects of the strong, awful reaction I had for the past three days. My upper chest hurts, my lips feel prickly, my lips are hot, and my skin......Read More

The Worst Movies Ever Made Explicit Content
Everyone's doing their Top Ten lists, and that includes my favorite movie reviewers. So I was inspired to write a list of just the worst movies ever made. These movies are dreck. You cannot like them, and if you say you do, I will assume you're lying. Why? Because these are the world's worst......Read More

Meat $90/lb? Allergywoman starves.
Since I switched over to my local progressive radio station rather than NPR, I've really enjoyed the change, with one or two exceptions. I could do without the vaccine fearmongering from Ring of Fire, or the gold-sellers. And I have a hard time listening to Hollywood Clout, with Richard Greene,......Read More

Too Polite for My Own Good
What do you do when a very nice, well-meaning person offers you a gift you don't really want? Yeah, I took it anyway. I shouldn't have, maybe, but I did. But upon reading the conservative Christian tract he gave me, I decided to use it for a good purpose. Today's lesson: How......Read More

Gratitude.
I have so much in my life I am grateful for. From my loving and brainless birdies, especially my English budgie, to the fact that I have a job, no matter how craptastic it is (I have to work today), I know I am luckier than a lot of other folks. But today, I have to say I'm most grateful for......Read More

Warning: Swine Flu
I don't know if thimerisol is dangerous. I don't know if the regular flu vaccine or the swine flu vaccine are dangerous in and of themselves to ordinary people. I do know one thing. If you have egg allergy, there is no egg-free flu vaccine. So don't get any flu vaccine if you have egg allergy......Read More

Oh. My. Gods.
Some jerk just got into our apartment and stole my purse. We are now having to deal with the police, and our landlord, and I had to call to cancel my bank card. My heart is racing faster than Mario Andretti, and I keep wanting to cry. We aren't rich. We aren't well-off. And now some immoral,......Read More
