It's partly because my previous employer just stopped paying me one day, along with everyone else in the office, the landlord, our insurance company, our 401K accounts, the electric company, the phone company, and... well, you get the drift. He gave us all no checks followed by bad checks, and drew it out as long as he could in order to get himself ( Read more... )

No really. Why? I don't want a mother-in-law. I couldn't imagine a worse mother-in-law if I were writing a cheap Stephen King rip-off. An ignorant, complaining woman who wants to gossip about and criticise others; who wants to feel righteous and put-upon. Who is this person? Is she really related to my significant other?

Oops. I hope it doesn't go through the wash. I'm always losing them. I can't seem to hang on to a subject to save my life, actually. Slippery devils, they are, harder to hold onto then money. I try to keep a couple of extras on hand, just in case I lose one. Or if someone else brings along one I don't like. I'm always forgetting them, though. Or, I ( Read more... )

There is a house about 400 miles from here. In my mind, when I think of it, it looms in the landscape much like the Psycho house. It's not a spooky Victorian, though; it's not on a hillside. Nothing deeply disturbing or terrifying ever happened in it--no axe murders or suicides. It's not really an old house. It's two years younger than I am, so it' ( Read more... )
