* encourage volunteers – Guardian Angels, any type of citizen patrol- putting money into that instead of the 1 mill slated for a Katrina memorial or the 40K to fix an air conditioner make more sense to this camper * do NOT make the police work more!!! Recruit more police! * get the first responders …
Saturday morning, yours truly, hubby and at least 1 or 2 of the 3 kids will head to Metairie, the PBS&J building to be exact (hubby works for them), to get down and dirty. Get your mind out of the gutter – we are going to participate in the Lake PontchatrainBeach Sweep. Besides doing something …
Dear Princess of Positive, I live out of state and want to come for a visit, but am scared about all the violence in the news. ~Janette from Florida~ Dear Janette, There are no guarantees in life. All I can tell you is that there is absolutely no way you could come for a visit …
LOVE CONNECTION OK – I am that person who knows somebody and when I hear you know somebody – I will give you their name…I am always trying to connect people – just something I do. However, I have not tried to set “someone up with someone” in forever. So last week, I was doing …
I know this is usually an upbeat blog, but today the only thing that seemed appropriate was a tribute to those who were killed on 9/11, 2001. Last year I participated in project 2,996 on my other blog and honored Debra Lynn Gibbon. Saturday I attended the Freedom Walk in Baton Rouge, where we honored …
Hard to believe we have only lived here a little over 7 months now. I have soaked up the culture and traditions and love learning about them each and every day. Mind you, my only experience here before our move here was a drive through Hurricane at Pat O’Breins as I traveled cross-country. * Mardi …
Last week I told you I went to the Southern Decadence Festival in New Orleans with my Cotillion sister Rightwingsparkle. To my horror, I could not get the tape to playback after she left town and was pretty sure it was stuck in videotape purgatory. Thank goodness – the file has been recovered and instead …
OK – it is going to be a paraphrase because I can’t find the darn transcript on-line. I had Neil Cavuto on while I was scolding the Laundry Fairy today. He was interviewing, Kinky Friedman the Independent from Texas. Neil was asking him about the Presidential candidates. Kinky went through the list and actually made …
* last day for me to register to run for Governor – guess I’ll pass for now & hold out for world domination! * I counted 385 houses for sale in Mandeville today on Realtor.com. 143 of those were over 300K. 22 over 500K * I think I’m going to be a Fred Head – …
All the intelligent stuff I write *snicker* and this is probably my most Googled post from last year. Enjoy! I grew up being repeatedly told not to wear white shoes after Labor Day – ever!!! It was considered almost as bad as routingrooting for the Yankees – sacrilegious (go Red Sox)! White pocketbooks – Goodwill …

I met my Cotillion sister and her best friend in the French Quarter today. They were stopping for a few hours on their way to Biloxi. We certainly did not have an ordinary time. After a drink in a bar and an interview with a very intelligent bartender, we headed to The Blue Dog Gallery …
I think “they” is more elusive than the red-striped hiding Waldo. I mean, after 5 minutes of talking to my mom on the phone, I am pretty sure that I live in an Orwellian society with “theys” all around me. The press is having a field day pointing fingers to “they” and his brothers “them” …
I am a huge sushi fan – luv luv luv it. Anyways, I was really suspicious when hubby told me he would pick up the sushi on the way home from wok today (he has never offered before). I mean, I know all the good sushi restaurants in Mandeville, but none in New Orleans. He …
