My cousin's husband had a stroke a week ago Monday. My cousin had a stroke a week ago Wednesday. My little dog closed out the week by having a stroke a week ago Friday. It's hell getting old! :(

As of last night, my cousin is home, her husband will be in rehab for a couple more weeks, and my dog is nearly back to normal.

Thanks for your concern.

And getting mail advertisements and telemarketing calls trying to persuade you to buy supplemental health insurance plans.

It's hard to believe glam rock was not just a thing, but an acceptable thing, once.

You can blame:


36 years ago today, MTV launched.  And this is the first thing they played

And to celebrate, MTV is doing away with Moon Man and replacing with Moon Person. That way it can be male, female, trans, or whatever else.
