My family has been couch shopping for over a month now. We’ve looked at everything from the Mercedes of couches to the Geo Metro (which is now in high demand – who woulda thunk?). I could spend $15K for something I put my butt on or $3,000 (leather sectional prices). But, if I buy a …

I just finished reading this book at the suggestion of my friend Yatpundit. I’m glad he sugested it or I might have missed this treasure! Nope – I’m not Catholic, but I do have a Great Aunt who is a nun – so close enough. And I grew up in the Boston area where if …
Update Sunday: Thank you reader Pam for catching me on this. Looks like this song has some Louisiana roots. Wikipedia claims: Two versions of “You Are My Sunshine” were recorded and released prior to Jimmie Davis’s. The first was recorded for Bluebird Records (RCA-Victor’s budget label) on August 22, 1939 by The Pine Ridge Boys …

* Why do I ever use a self-checkout lane? I have a 75% chance of screwing something up and needing to deal with the supervisor. The supervisor scolded me at “the walmarts” today for not placing each item in a bag – you gotta be kidding me! Geesh – trying to save the Earth is …
*** Ya Ya, you already know (but hey – a little reminder never hurt anyone) that my live radio show debuts this Saturday (like I haven’t annoyed you with that enough every day over the past 2 weeks LOL) from 3:00-4:00 PM on WIST AM 690?! The “Kiss My Gumbo” show promises to be family …
It all started with a $1300 boat trailer bought 5 years ago. It is literally going to take an act of freaking Congress for me to register the boat trailer in this state. Yes, this is the very same trailer that we bought when we bought our boat at Bass Pro in Springfield, MO. Get …

I just figured I better jump back on the vagina bandwagon some more if I want to be in the “cool kids club.” I know I know – I said no more vagina talk and I should get back to my Princess of Positive thing – but I need readers dammit. When I posted about …

Remember that episode from “King of Queens” when Doug drags Carrie to a Home Repair store to try and find “couple friends” without kids? Well, we have decided we either (1) need to convince all our friends to get boats (2) get a bigger boat (3) buy a waverunner so we can fit more friends …
Ya, I know I said I’d keep politics off Kiss My Gumbo – don’t worry, it ain’t like I am endorsing a candidate for Congress on this blog or anything (first name starts with S and ends with E). But I had to tell you about the event I attended last night in New Orleans. …
Yesterday was a very traumatic day for me. I accompanied 43 – 6th graders (trauma enough) from Lake Harbor Middle School on a field trip to Mandeville Junior High, where they will attend next year. I felt bad for all the kiddos I was with because the other 285 – 6th graders attending, were from …

I wish I could declare it “The Summer of Greta” and slowly decompose like George did (a little Seinfled humor for you). But I am officially declaring it the start of summer – NOW. Two more months of school, planning the vacation to Destin, signing kids up for camps…yep summer! The pool is clean and …
Googled yourself lately? Come one, fess up, I know you have! Have you done it without quotation marks, with quotation marks, including your hometown? Does it give you a rush to know that you have some place on teh internets (not a typo)? Does it validate your existence – if so, you are as pathetic …
