Gee, I could go for a little snack right about now.
There have been disturbing accounts in the news recently of people flipping out on a potent street drug. The most horrific of these stories was about a man who tried to eat another person while high. The drug of choice for these discriminating users? Bath salts.

I recently saw the Woody Allen movie “Midnight In Paris”. Owen Wilson plays a modern writer who visits Paris and steps through time to the 1920s. He becomes friends with Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Cole Porter and F. Scott Fitzgerald. If you saw the movie, did you also notice Myron Overglub? He was the nondescript guy sitting at the table with the luminaries. He didn’t really have any lines because he just basked in the reflected glory of his more talented friends.
I can relate.

Just had to give a bloggy shout out to Nicole over at The Middlest Sister. She has just passed 5000 subscribers! Whoo hoo! The sky’s the limit as far as I’m concerned when you’ve got mad talent like hers.
She brings stories of her childhood to life with unbelievably intricate pictures cut from paper. You will not believe the emotions her magic scissors are able to generate.
I know I’ve none too subtly bragged (in an annoyingly gloating way) about occasionally cycling through WordPress’s recommended list of Humor bloggers, but that’s small potatoes. Nicole’s blog is listed among the Staff Picks, which is their short list of blogs recommended as the best of all categories. http://wordpress.com/#!/read/recommendations/
It’s like she’s in the permanent collection in the Louvre, with her own spot on the wall and postcards of her stuff on sale in the gift shop, while I’m hawking landscapes of the Seine to ugly Americans out front on the sidewalk.
In honor of her great accomplishment, Nicole crafted paper avatars of some of her commenters, and I’m beyond delighted to be included in the rogue’s gallery. I (and the fluffy lamb I rode in on) have never looked better.
If you don’t know Nicole, hop on over right now. Try to avoid being charmed out of your socks – just try. Can’t be done.

Experts are concerned by the alarming spread of Notmyproblemitis or NMP. This malady results in the infected person losing all feeling…for their fellow man. Science does not know the exact cause, but the infection short-circuits a person’s ability to share in the concerns and cares of others.
One giant leap for blogging kind
Some people have jobs that require them to commute from one end of the country to the other – they’re bicoastal.
Some people have an illness that makes their minds jump from one mood extreme to the other – they’re bipolar.
Some people are a combination of these two. Their minds make the daily commute from one world to an entirely different world – they’re biplanetary mental commuters. Also known as bloggers.
Last week saw the passing of music legends Donna Summer and Robin Gibb. Robin and his fellow Brothers Gibb formed the wildly successful group the Bee Gees who, along with Donna, defined the music phenomenon known as disco.
This was the week that disco died.
Andrew Wyeth’s Christina looks like she never ate a Blizzard in her life.
I snigger at those Life Alert commercials. It’s sad when old ladies fall down for realz, but the actresses they use in the ads are so horrible they’re funny. They must hire the producer’s grandmothers. They stretch out on the bathroom floor and ham it up with all the subtlety of the ingénue confronting Lon Chaney in a silent horror film.
What is that thing? Looks like one of those big, rubber balls from down at the gym, right? Wrong!

We just moved youngest daughter Gwen home from college for the summer. It’s so great to have her sweet little face around the house again! Not that I’ve actually seen her face. She sleeps during the day and stays up all night. Her tromping up the stairs at 4:15 to go to bed yesterday MORNING woke me from a fitful sleep.
I think it’s time for a little chat. It’s also time for a replay of this post from last summer.
What's up with THIS?

When navigating the rocky shoals of comment etiquette, even the most grizzled WordPress veteran may find him or herself adrift. Commenting rules are, by and large, unwritten.

Fear not! Miss Peg-o-Leg is here to guide you in the gentle art and exacting science of the effective comment. Read these Frequently Asked Questions. Memorize them. Live by them.
