Oh yes, the infamous banana phone… Here’s a story for you guys. J decided that it would be hilarious to attack me in bed with the banana phone and singing the song. I’m still surprised that I didn’t end up with mashed banana in the bed. At least it was a true banana phone. Yup, I sometimes wonder about that boy… but ...

Will it Ring?
by
Kimberly H.
Will a watched phone ring if a watched pot won't boil? Call me crazy, but I just sincerely hope that I will get some sort of sense of relief when my doctor calls back. Even if the actual problem isn't resolved... just validate that something is strange here... and lets move on. I talked to the lady in his office for a good while, and explained the ...

Ringing in the New

Erica P.
It's the last day of 2006, and I get to spend it surrounded by a bunch of crazy people and a bunch of whiny people and some more that overestimate their alcohol tolerance. And those are just my co-workers. (giggling) But seriously, it should prove to be an interesting evening, as New Years always is in the friendly confines, complete with obnoxio ...

Happy New Year!
It's a lazy, rainy new year's day morning and mine was interrupted by a phone call from the father of my children who is telling me that he will pick them up later since it is his Tuesday night. Sure, holidays trump the regular schedule among people who follow legal documents, and respect the supposedly mutually agreed upon parent ...

* I really like to talk on the phone.

I love those chats. They are the "healing my soul" kind of talks where you can talk about everything - and everyon ...

School Day (Ring, Ring Goes the Bell)
by

Stubborn. That's what Riley's teacher said today. And that made me feel better about school as weird as that may sound. It means she is smart and learning and can do the work ... she just doesn't want to sometimes. As long as the teacher is standing near, Riley does her work and gets it right, but as soon as the teacher moves away, Riley loses focu ...

Would I purchase a glitter -sized diamond for myself?Hell NO!So, why the hell would I permit someone to present me with a ring I can't see? Again, this isn't life for everyone, but for th ...

Dolphin rings

Margaret
A blog reader/friend (thanks!) sent me a video of, and I quote, dolphins playing with silver-coloured rings, which they have the ability to make underwater. It isn’t known how they learn this, or if it’s an inbred ability.
The dolphin does a quick flip of its head and a silver ring appears in front of its pointed beak. [...]
