  This week’s post is from Mrs A What are some red flags to watch out for in daily life? As a rather busty woman I have noticed that the bigger red flag on people is not those who look at my chest, but those who insist on hiding it completely. Obviously when I was still

  Welcome to my refreshed Monday Peeve! Unburden yourself of an annoyance and you’ll feel better afterward. Or not. Complain in my comments or crab in your own post. Doesn’t have to be on a Monday. You do you. This is not so much a peeve as a statement of facts of sorts. Lately despite having

  As it is Halloween this weekend I am doing a series of lists of recommended viewing or listening fitting for the season. Entry one is episodes from TV Shows. 10. The Avengers: Stay Tuned Now this may seem like an odd choice as it appears to be about memory loss, but it is quite a

  It’s just gone five and it is Friday. Do what that means it is time for???? No not Crackerjack! It is Fibbing Friday. Frank is the host with most for today’s spook themed questions. Why does garlic repel vampires? Because they like their food to be incredibly bland. What do you need to kill a
