Am I wrong? Please tell me if I am (like there's any doubt of that). The Office Thug got pissed as hell at me for daring to ask about a deduction she and her stooge were making to everyone's paychecks (too complicated, won't go into it except to say sh... read entire post

I stuffed the dry bread and fresh vegetables up the turkey's nether regions and got it into the oven after a struggle to tuck the wingtips under so they don't burn. Boiled up the neck, gizzard and liver for the dogs; got them cooling on the counter. Cr... read entire post

Have you ever had to have the police to your house for something besides robbery or vandalism? I have, embarrassingly. We've called them in because of my troubled 23-year old a number of times. I feel dirty and spend the next day cleaning furiously.... read entire post

Down Albuquerque way there's a little place called the Range Cafe. Not in any trendy touristy area, it's taken over an old Denny's or something like that on Menaul near University Northeast. You know it's not going to be ordinary as soon as you walk i... read entire post

Alright, now, what is this claptrap about Obama understanding the working man more than McCain? He is a poster-child for government programs! When did he ever actually hold a job as an adult that required him to kowtow to petty low-level management or... read entire post

What to do when your husband has made a shambles of his side of the finances? We owe thousands in tax since he wouldn't pay quarterlies on his self-employment income no matter how I nagged. He's fallen awry of his creditors....... read entire post
