Most Annoying...

Page-a-Day WC - 555 wordsOver the weekend, I watched this movie on Lifetime called Prayers for Bobby. A woman named Mary Griffith was a this religious woman who thought the same as others like her that being gay was an abomination.

He's Fixed

Page-a-Day WC - 735 wordsOur little dog Roscoe was fixed on Friday. He was at the vet for a few hours and then we picked him up. He's all bruised now. The vet said he won't be completely healed for about another week.The purpose of all this wasn't to keep him from reproducing but to also calm him down. I haven't seen much difference. He still growls at everyone and wants to play. The whole growling...

The Word Can

Page-a-Day WC - 380 wordsYears ago, when I was in high school, a friend of mine gave me a gift. It was a little paint can filled with candy. I can’t recall why I was given this.

On Its Way

Page-a-Day WC - 388 wordsI ordered a couple of books. Ironically, they are both in diary form. The first is The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer. If you've seen the movie Rose Red then you should have an idea what I'm talking about. When this book first released, we bought a copy. No clue where the heck it went.

Survey Madness

Page-a-Day WC - 288 wordsThey say you can earn some extra cash by taking surveys. I was reading a techie advice column in my local newspaper and a few survey cash earning sites were recommended.

I still signed up for Survey Savvy against my better judgment.Like all survey sites, you get paid...
