We watched a couple of Transformers movies recently. I remember my son watching the cartoons in the 1980's. Transformers is product of American and Japanese media franchises and toy companies.

Sometimes we all just need to take a break. A friend of mine told me that last week he went to Texas and engaged in some therapy, recoil therapy that is.

Boy that just irks me! Watching old Westerns and when the bad guys come up to the cabin, the good guys inside almost always break the window before shooting.

(I'm a mean boss. I never let myself get away with anything!) I found some real whoppers on … Continue reading What a whopper!

Thanks to the pandemic, my thought was, how nice that they were wearing their masks. The second was regarding the man riding shotgun. He was seated on the … Continue reading Riding shotgun
We have a little sign that we got when we bought some overstuffed chairs years ago. It says, “I'm a recliner!” Since then we have made it a game to hide it where the other person will find it and get a laugh. The best one was when my husband put it on the under … Continue reading Pack animal
