(Classic Kathleen Givens, from 6/01/2008) At last, a way for you to pick the perfect dog! The National Pet Month organization in the UK has done some investigation about that nation’s pet buying trends. According to their study, some astrological signs consistently choose some breeds.

Do Over! What Year?

by Sherri Browning Erwin

Question of the Day! Sad to say, I have a few relatives battling brain issues. One will most likely have a full recovery. One will not. My grandmother, the one who won’t recover, has dementia. It can be emotionally painful for her and hard to watch for her loved ones. It can also be pleasant [...]

Writer’s Corner: Transitions (Classic Kath)

by Sherri Browning Erwin

(from Kathleen Givens on 6/30/09) We’ve been talking a lot about death far too much lately, all of us. Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, Billy Mays, have all captured the news media attention, and we, willing or not, have had to think about the final check out. I was already weary of it all, [...]

Comparisons are fun! Shall we have a look at some different style choices for SAG/Golden Globes? Christina Hendricks. Full figured gal, on the hit show Mad Men. I love that she has amazing curves. And she knows how to play them up or down, clearly. For the Golden Globes, she let the globes come out [...]

Whiny Wednesday: Classic Kathleen Givens

by Sherri Browning Erwin

From November 15, 2007: It’s that time again, my every so often whine about stupid things happening in the world, few of which we can control. Some things are so inconsequential that I feel dumb even commenting on them, although that’s not enough to stop me from doing just that, is it? So here goes: [...]

Fashion Friday: Weighing In

by Sherri Browning Erwin

I’m currently fashion-challenged, as in it is a challenge to find fashion to work with my current body. I like food and wine, and it shows. Darn. So my next order of business in the new year is to kick-start the healthy eating-fitness regime. Thin may be in, but thin’s not my goal. Staying healthy [...]

Whiny Wednesday – Airport Screening

by Julia London

Recently, I flew through Tulsa, Oklahoma, which has those full body scanners. I had never been through one before, so when they suggested I step in, I did. I lifted my arms. They took a picture. I got the okay and walked through and got on my flight and never thought about it again…until the [...]

Pop Culture Monday: The Ubiquitous Gift Card

by Julia London

Gift cards were apparently the thing to give this Christmas. Personally, I used to be a bigger fan of the gift card than I am now.  Since most places offer gift cards, I find that I get them for places I probably wouldn’t go.  And even if I were inclined to go there, they are [...]

Question of the Week: What Kind of Wrapper Are You?

by Julia London
crapwrap_ex8

In the years that the Whine Sisters blog has existed, I have come into the self-awareness that I am not very domestic.  I don’t cook, I don’t decorate, I don’t do crafts.  I do, however, clean up pretty well and can make everything look nice and neat, which probably suggests that in a previous life, [...]

Welcome to Whiny Wednesday.

by Kathleen Givens
Christmas Presents

Wednesdays have a whole new agenda at the new Whine Sisters.  We’ve set this day aside to talk about weird things we’ve found in the news or in life, or to whine.  Sometimes both.  Sometimes about the same thing.  I’m going to start the Wednesday madness with a whine (now really, are you surprised?).    But along [...]

Celebrate! We’re back! We missed you, and we have big news! First, there were three. Julia London, Kathleen Givens, and Sherri Browning Erwin got together in 2004 to bring you whine and cheese (and snark, plenty of snark). Then, we realized we had one more sister out there ready to whine along, and the delightful Jacquie [...]
