Dear Apple, I’m neither a developer nor a tech expert (although compared to my husband and friends, I’m a total techie). No, I’m just a huge fan and I became an avid consumer of your products since you always gave me what I wanted, even before I knew what that was. But...

On Saturday, during his speech at the NRA’s annual convention gun lovefest, Wayne LaPierre asked, “How many Bostonians wished they had a gun two weeks ago?” This has shocked many, but not me. After all, this is Wayne LaPierre we’re talking about, and while I’m...

I had planned to write a post about the war on women. That’s now scrapped. It’s obvious that today’s post had to be on the Boston Marathon bombings. But I still hesitated.  What could I possibly write that hasn’t already been said?  The sadness and outrage that I...

You  might already know from my previous post WordPress Update: Why Did I Ever? that I’m an organization freak and that this extends to my relationship with technology. If not, all you have to do is look at this blog’s homepage. How many blogs have you seen where the posts are...

When I wrote the post Are Americans Illogical When It Comes To Punctuation? I thought I was one of  very few interested in the placement of the period in relation to quotation marks. Personally, I think that the period looks better after the quotation mark as in:  I told him, “I love...

In the post In Defense Of Guns? I explained why after reading the story of Melinda and Donnie Herman, I can now understand why gun owners believe so strongly in their right to own arms. I understand a lot less why someone would need to carry a weapon, concealed or not.  After all, we are...

I have always been anti-gun.  But then I read the story of Melinda and Donnie Herman.  I’m sure that you’ve read it too.  Donnie is the man who had his wife, Melinda, and a 911 operator on the phone while an intruder with a crowbar hunted down Melinda and the couple’s...
