Show Some Respect, Bitches!

December 22, 2007 by WendyB

I’m another year older today and I think I’ve hit the age where I can scream at disrespectful youngsters and say things like “kids these days!” So mind your manners or you will rue the day I was born. Anyway, here’s a photo of Mom, aka BarbaraB, taken just over 40 years ago. I was…

Life Is Not a Cabaret. Stop Calling Me “Old Chum”!

September 4, 2007 by WendyB

Happy Birthday, Terri Berry!

August 14, 2007 by WendyB

Happy birthday to my gorgeous sister! Terri changed her last name when she got married. (I did not, but I offered to let my husband change his to mine. He didn’t take me up on that. Silly man!) Anyway, I was hoping she’d marry a guy whose last name was Strawberry. Even I would change…

Calling All Designing Womyns!

August 9, 2007 by WendyB

Catwalkqueen found this “customize our t-shirt” contest run by Fawcett, a U.K. group campaigning for gender equality. I usually confine slogan t-shirts to the gym, but if someone made me a sex-ay tank out of one of these, I’d wear it all around town! For those who don’t know, Merriam-Webster defines feminism as “the theory…
