Nosy Neighbors

by Julia London

I had my dog trained to run and walk off leash.  I didn’t do it myself, I had a professional do it, and the upshot is that Moose stays with me, he doesn’t bother other dogs, and he doesn’t bother people.  We have been doing this for eighteen months now.  I can count on one [...]

Things I Do that Tick Me Off

by Julia London

No one is perfect, let me say that right up front.  But I have some imperfections that are much easier to live with than others. Some of my less than stellar characteristics don’t bother me–I think, love it or lump it.  But there are a couple of things that really tick me off about me.  [...]

Thrillseekers Anonymous

by Julia London

A few years ago, I wrote this trilogy and a novella about three guys who had a zest for living, and parlayed that into a business.  They ran Thrillseekers Anonymous, catering to the rich and powerful, and guaranteeing a thrillseeking experience unlike any they ever had.  Sadly, these books are out of print, but I [...]

True Confessions

by Sherri Browning Erwin

1. When Facebook “friends” announce they have a dilemma- “4900 friends and 57 more in the queue, oh no! what shall I do?” I make it easy on them and drop them as my friend. I’m nice like that. Who really has 5000 friends? That’s why we have “Like” pages.  2. I also like to [...]

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, [...]

Whiny Wednesday: Life’s Not Fair!

by Sherri Browning Erwin

This week, the Today Show is hosting reunions of casts from past TV shows. Tuesday’s reunion? The Partridge Family! Watching David Cassidy (Keith), Danny Bonaduce (Danny), Brian Forster (Chris #2) and Suzanne Crough (Tracy) laugh at Matt Lauer’s request to sing Come On Get Happy reminds me of a childhood dream. I wanted to be [...]

Fashion Friday: Some Vajazzled Evening…

by Sherri Browning Erwin

We’re going to look at the BAFTAs (the Brit version of the Oscars) and Elle Style Award red carpet, but first a gasp at a new trend (speaking of carpet, nyuk nyuk). Vajazzling. What is that, you ask? Well… it starts with a Brazilian. The full monty. And it ends up with your netherregions all [...]

Pop Culture Monday: Lost in Austen

by Dee Davis

My daughter is doing a paper on Jane Austen.  And in the process we’ve been rereading and revisiting the books and various movie versions of four of Austen’s six books.  Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion and Emma.  I can’t tell you how hard it was for me to read, watch, discuss and even [...]

Question of the Week: What is your favorite room in the house?

by Dee Davis

Kind of a crazy question I suppose, but I was reading an article in the NY times about Alabama baking, of all things, when suddenly something the article said made me think of my grandmother’s kitchen.  With one sentence (involving pound cake) I was there.  I could see it, smell it, and was overwhelmed with [...]

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 [...]

Good Buys/Good Books Tuesday: If you’re like me, you’re just starting to put together your holiday shopping list. The holidays wouldn’t be the same if you were prepared, heck no. You thrive on the adrenalin rush that only last-minute shopping can provide. You live for that sudden shock of panic that hits when you realize [...]

Grab Some Eggnog and Fire Up the DVD Player

by Dee Davis
Grinch-cartoon-01

I am a visual person.  I have loved watching movies since I was a little girl. And with the advent of the holiday season I find myself surrounded with some of my all time favorite films.  I’ll admit it, I’m a Christmas movie junkie.   I actually own nineteen (I just counted).  And thanks to the [...]

Question of the Week: It’s all in the Words

by Dee Davis

People are always asking me for my favorite quote.  So I thought I’d share mine and then hopefully, you guys will share yours. My all time favorite is from Antoine de Saint- Exupéry’s Little Prince.  “One runs the risk of weeping a little, if one lets himself be tamed…”   For me, the fox’s words suggest that [...]

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 [...]
