Here are some of my recent writings. Enjoy!

Job Benefits You didn’t Even Know You Had!

There are a lot of benefits that many people never use because they didn’t take the time to find out about them. Don’t let this happen to you!

Numerous Posts on DualTriadian.com (My Adoption Blog)

Typically snarky stuff (with the occasional “useful” post such as “Lotto Tickets” for potential adoptive parents).

My Foodie Posts on Munchbrothers.org

My foray into food writing. Lots and lots of posts: Reviews, comments on obesity epidemic, etc.

Another Guaranteed Laugh Story

admin — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:37:32 +0000

Ok, I think I just found another guaranteed laugh story. But first, a few warnings:

1. The subject matter is somewhat adult. It is not obscene, by any means, but it involves, ahem, a sex toy.

2. The post contains a small picture of said sex toy. No nudity or “demonstrations” but this photo is not work safe.

3. Any Christians who are scandalized by this story and who chide me via email or comments are subject to public mockery in this blog.

In any case, the guaranteed laugh story can be found on Heather Ryan’s “Terrible Mother” blog. Heather Ryan, incidentally, recently wrote an excellent piece for Salon entitled Our Cupboard was Bare . In which she describes having to take her children to a soup kitchen a few nights a week during a period of time in which money was very tight. The response from some Salon readers, often touting their “liberal” credentials, demonstrates the mean-spiritedness that pervades even the most supposedly progressive among us.

In fact, the response to Ms. Ryan’s Salon piece will be the subject of an upcoming blog post.

Peace out, everyone!
