There is something that’s been bugging me for a while, and I’m so about to rant about it. At the moment the walkway in front of our building is like a minefield of dog shit.   When we are going to the car or walking the dogs we have to watch every step we take because there is dog shit everywhere… …

The title means ‘I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOU’,  and that is what I’ve been feeling a lot of lately.  Yeah, this is another language rant. I feel like a coma patient who woke up and suddenly has to learn their language all over again, err… only it’s not my language.    I regretfully spent so long living in here Holland and …

Why is it that whenever we can’t use something, that is when our body wants to.   When we are carrying an armload of something, we get an itchy nose.   When you have stuff in your hair you don’t want to touch, you get an itch on your scalp.   When you are standing in a crowd and can’t bend over you …

Yesterday (my birthday!) we decided to come home.  We’d been in France for over a week and were both feeling like we were getting a little tired of sight seeing.   It was time to pack up and head home so that we could be home in time to have a nice long weekend to chill out before returning to work. …

This is me. This is me counting to ten. This is me killing everyone in my immediate surroundings in a PMS Rage. Today I am home having my turn to be with the plumbers and welders that are working on the pipes in the building.   What started out as a leak in our bathroom has turned into a leak in …

Today I was in a great mood at work, which was pretty remarkable considering it was a Monday.   On my lunch break I started realizing the world was working against me. No, that’s a lie, I really started noticing it on Saturday. We were leaving our flat and the sun was shining.  I commented as we were walking out of …

A snippet from my Spats section: Dogs Balls – Repeated Since Bailey turned six months old Xander and I have had an ongoing argument about his balls. I want to get him fixed, Xander doesn’t. Now I understand it’s just male instinct to want to preserve all testicles on the planet, but there must be limits. Where I come from …

Today I went to get a remote for my new phone so that I could use normal headphones, the ones that came with it are garbage.  It’s not like a remote you use for the TV but a thing that plugs into the phone that you can plug your headphones into and it has all the buttons you need for …

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!  Would someone please tell Paula Abdul that there is no such word as NITCH?!  I swear, every time that dumb bitch opens her mouth I want to scream, but when she says ‘You have found your NITCH’ I want to go all unibomber on her ass.  GAWD!!  How do they let her continue to do …

The new-ish thing for public transit here in Rotterdam is the OV Chipkaart.    It’s a card that you can charge up with credit and use on the public transit to get around the city. In the past we used something called a strippenkaart which was a long paper thing sectioned into blocks or ‘strips’.  Depending on how many zones you …

Buying Immune System!  Does anyone have one for sale? The dizziness is almost totally gone now, finally.  The doc told me that my bloodwork came back ok but that there was levels of something or other that lead him to think I have a virus, which was causing the vertigo.  I was all, cool… give me something to make it …
