I’ve promoted Carrie Fisher many, many times on this blog. It’s no exaggeration to say she is my hero. Despite having so much to lose, because she’s a celebrity, Carrie has no skeletons in her closet. For decades she’s courageously been open and honest about having bipolar disorder, as well as a history of using […]
When you surf around YouTube you never know what you’re going to find. Last week, while I was searching for The Twelve Days of Christmas by the group “Straight No Chaser,” I stumbled upon this gem. It’s different, but I found it equally as fun. Please, sit back, relax, and enjoy. It’s likely to be […]
Today’s Throwback is from July 2008. Let’s take a look at some government grants spent over the last several years: $750,000 for the Baseball Hall of Fame (I like baseball, but geesh) $70,000 for the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame in Appleton, Wis. (We’re planning a family reunion in Appleton just so we can […]
Today’s post is by another one of my favorite bloggers, Iggy, whose blog is Color Me Bipolar Living with Bipolar Disorder is a pain in the ass. But add a family to that, and you have a whole different ball of wax to contend with. I am a married mom of 4. When I was […]
There’s been a meme going around on Facebook that I’m going to paraphrase. It says something like, I don’t think everyone who voted for Donald Trumps is a narcissistic, misogynistic, xenophobic, racist who makes fun of people with disabilities. But I am troubled that nearly half the people who voted in the election believe it’s […]
Because I had the downtime while switching web hosts, I didn’t do a Wrap-Up last week, but I’ll try to piece the days together the best I can with my not so great memory. Mood I commented two weeks ago, that my depression seemed to be waning. I was wrong. The total amount of time […]
If you’re like me, you’re getting a little tired of Christmas music already. I’ve had enough of Jingle Bells and Silent Night. Thankfully I’ve avoided Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer, because once is once too many of that wretched song. However, there is one song that never gets on my nerves and that […]
Today’s guest blogger is Janet over at Bipolar Me. She is a freelance writer/editor with bipolar disorder, type 2. Her excellent blog has made me a fan of hers for many years. I suggest you follow the link and take a look around. You’ll become a fan too. It seems that Target (and other stores) […]
This is not going to be the most exciting post you’ve ever read, but it is pretty cool to me because of my desk. Before we get to my desk, remember my past couple of posts? Yeah, those. The ones where I told you that my site may be down for a few days because I […]
This is an update on the post I made regarding changing web hosts. Everything may look normal, but I will not be able to post anything new on Monday and possibly not on Tuesday. By Wednesday everything should be back in order.
