Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!

Let’s face it, through a series of minor and small events, this day was never, ever going to get a Gold Star on my calendar of ways to start a major holiday weekend. It’s sort of like breaking your shoe lace just before you drop your morning toast butter-side down on a clean kitchen floor. Nothing major, just in toto major league annoying.

But there was something, some small part of me that always teeters one way or the other…that says ‘don’t give up, things will get better!’ (or worse on… Continue

Giving Up On TBD and Going Along With Ning? ...WHY?

OK...so, I was away for a while and didn't log onto TeeBeeDee for a few months. OK...so, it was six months.

But when I came back with vim and vigor ready to put my two cents worth in, lo and behold!...the site was slateted for shut down! WHY?

But not so much was the question, why was it shutting down, so much as why was everyone saying, "Thanks for the laughs, it was fun while it lasted, let's now go over to Ning." What? No fight? No "Hey, wait a minute, I'm… Continue

Nikola Tesla

Shouldn't Nikola Tesla have the same accolades of any great scientist or inventor and his accomplish be taught in school? Have you ever use an ac motor(anything like a electric can opener or an motor you plug into your house electrical outlets.), you can thank Tesla for. There is a company coming out with a device so you do not have to plug in your house electrical devices into outlets to work. Tesla developed that technology but on a grander scale than for one house. There are a lot of… Continue

Here And Now......

I strive to live in the moment.

In fact, I work extra hard to live in the moment.

But I care what I fill my moments up with,like communication.I value communication,I like it to be communication that has value.

And here I thought cell phones were bad,I just didn't have that much important infomation to talk about, all day long,where ever I was at the moment.Then Blue Tooth came along on the ears of good citizens, making me… Continue

Similar to the Salmon

Well my friends, it all started last Sunday night,

whils't watching one of David Attenborough's Documentaries,

this particular one was about the life cycle of the North Atlantic Salmon

- the home of the Grizzly Bear.

Now they do say, that if you want to get your message across with

young boys, the best way to do it, is to choose a time when they

are focusing on something else, as apparently, they don't… Continue

Where am I ?

I am beginning to feel like a bag lady. Here I am with my cyber shopping cart toting around all my belongings in it,my photos,my friends list,my likes and dislikes.

After being exiled once before, I roamed from social site to social site. And just when I got good and comfy on a new site,moved myself into a little home sweet home all my own again ....here comes the bad news, and the cyber rug is pulled out from under my feet one more… Continue

Endings and Beginnings

Color me late to the party. Life has been hectic and I just now read the news that TBD is closing. Well, pooh! But hey, the good news is that we're here - and it's the start of something new.

I'm big on starting something new and this year seems to be the time for it. I've been writing erotic romance for the last three years and while it's great fun, there are times I itch to write something with less erotic and more plot. Well, be careful what you ask for, right? A backer appeared… Continue

Evil Thoughts

I would never do this - really! But have you ever been tempted to start a discussion that says something like "I love this great country of ours - God bless the USA!!!!", have a bunch of responses like "Me too! So true!", and then go back and edit the topic to say "This country is a turd!".

Not suggesting it. It just occurs to my Dark Side.

One last time.

On the 10th of July it will be my last time wearing a military uniform, and since I was 18 I have wore a military uniform I enlisted at 17 and when I started this journey, to me it was just a short stint. Some was active some was guard or reserve. I never intended for it to go on this long but it did serving 5 years on active duty 4 years in the Marines and the 1 year with the Army Reserve in Iraq. Going 12 years with the Guard and 4 years with the Reserves

I have gone to South… Continue

Need coffee. Don't want to get it. Note to self, get better admin. :)

Just wanted to check out the area... Wish it did spell check, but hey, it's free. :-)

Off to grab some coffee....

Interesting, VERY Interesting

Though I am sad to think about seeing the old TBD going, going going, almost gone. I must say it is fun seeing the transition. I am actually checking out you other members as you are added here. What a motley crew. After all is said and done I freaking love, "MY GENERATION"!!!

If you still feel like you are searching, still not knowing what you want to be when you grow up, come check out the group I started, "When I Grow UP"

Namaste Y'all

I Could Write A Book

on Avatars, the codes we send out through careful/careless nomenclature. Some are honest, their faces wide, direct, smiling out to all: I Am Here.

Social Networks, so different from the milling pile of bars, dances, clubs, parties, introductions with no prep time. The luncheons, the Hundred Pound Phone, the personal ad. Now, we step out, faces presented at whatever optimum we imagine, crafted and spun in webs of illusion, delusion. Imagining we hide, when we merely lay bare - which… Continue

Dog Stalker

I know the noun "stalker" has come to mean something, I dunno....negative? But really if you look at the dictionary definition of the root word, stalk (hey I sort of made a plant pun there with root and stalk), well it is a downright appealing word. I will not bore you with the word by word definition, but it includes the following: stealthily, haughty, deliberate, persistent, and stiff--stiff can be good, right? Anyways, "stalk" and "stalker" are… Continue

Trashy is as Trashy Does

Approximately 60 hours and counting. I am kind of ascared, but no way am I telling anyone cuz I am supposed to be so freakin tough. I enjoy very much being both tough and extremely girly. It is a skill you know? You look all sort of petite and like you can't run fast cuz you got on 4 inch wedges and your hair costs more than most people's house payment, but at the same time you know you can also kick a man's ass fair and square without ever stooping… Continue

Love Me Some Alice

I saw this woman on T.V., Mary Alice from Ace of Cakes, and she has a tatt of Alice in Wonderland on her upper arm. One of those cool illustrations like the original book must have had--not all Disneyfied. So anyway, besides the name relation, I got to wondering why Mary Alice had chosen this one. Then I got to thinking about Alice in Wonderland---got to thinking about what an absolutely original and freakin trippy story it is.

Alice is a… Continue
