About Me

Who is me? Let’s see… My brain only stops working when it gets overloaded and then I see black, which is because the heel of my hand is pressing against my forehead. It’s a pose very familiar to those close to me and one my eldest son imitates very well, to my chagrin. I rarely see my middle son, though he is always home, glued to Youtube. My youngest is my constant source of amusement and is currently sitting on my lap, flipping through channels and rubbing my head with his fist. So yeah, I guess I’m a mom.

I write. I observe. And then I write some more. People and their behaviour fascinate me endlessly. I read. A lot. I love to learn.

And no matter where I am, I’m here.

    Thanks again for your time, effort, and hard work this weekend. You were more than a test subject for the settings, you were actually part of the first step for HarsH ReaLiTy in it’s transition. I appreciate that far more than words can express and I hope you are impressed with the next phases of my endless plan. Again you have my thanks and I hope you will consider writing for HarsH ReaLiTy again. If so feel free to see the new sign up board. Cya on the boards.

    I’ll have to read some of your stuff, looks interesting. I don’t see why you would want two blogs. I’m distracted enough by keeping up with one. Plus, with all the nested menus that are possible, I shouldn’t have to worry about running out of space for quite some time.

    Kudos to you! I’ll be checking them out. As soon as I get the sleep out of my eyes… by closing them.

      It wasn’t a matter of space, but more that my writing is so far removed from my real life, since I tend to lean towards horror most of the time. Having that wedged in between posts about my kids on my home page doesn’t sit well with me… so, two blogs.
      Hope you had a good sleep and thanks for visiting ๐Ÿ˜€

        Ah, yes. Rejuvenated, save the cold that I still have, drat it.

        I see what you are saying. I simply create a header tab that I call “blog”. Most everything else I organize into Writing or something.

        But, then again, I’m a programmer by profession and I do web programming, so I’ve a vast understanding of how to get the most out of what you are given.

    Found the link, yay!
    I was living in Georgia, USA, when someone used my credit card in Montreal. My bank caught it and called me to verify that I was not in Montreal. Apparently, I had a rather large gas tank, not matching my make on model from the loan they held, and a hankering for an extremely large soda as well. The bank rep told me to pay cash in restaurants. Seems wait staff are the most common “sellers” of card numbers.
    I hope your luck turns around!

    Feel free to be happy whenever you like – not just a particular day.

    That wasn’t the point. The point was that, in the traditional sense, you are not a Mother and therefore the day didn’t apply to you in the first place.

    However, considering you never wrote me at my email address, it proves you were being disingenuous, and rather than sincerely wanting your question answered, you merely wanted to be validated in public on my forum, and I am not so easily used.

    Good day, ma’am.
