The Betty Blogs465: Shame Secondly, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but someone said it to me and I’ll say it to you. Get over yourself, Alpha Betty. No. One. Cares. –Lora LOL, I know. I learned a while back that what people say and do has 99% to do with them and [...]
Back when we were married, Fish and I used to have these things we liked to call Useless Days. They were days in which we did absolutely nothing truly useful, or we tried. If we did anything useful out of absolute necessity, we did it early in the day, and spent the rest of the [...]
I got my collage pages scanned – for those of you interested in seeing Con and Zel, here they are… (click the thumbnails for the full pic):
All of this sudden peace and good feeling I’ve been having has left me without a lot of deep thoughts about pain and progress, and I find that I come here to this blog – 50 posts in today, can you believe it? – and look at the cursor on the screen and think, “I [...]
Back on the Judgment post, Robena mentioned The Red String, which is a custom associated now with the Kaballah, but supposedly comes from ancient times, in reference to Rachel.

Today, Jenny and I are starting on the South Beach diet, mostly for the following reasons: 1. Because we have to do something. We were bad apart, but together, we are hideous. We have encouraged each other to eat every refined sugar/processed carb out there. And we have ballooned. Well, me more than Jenny, but [...]
477: The Plan I love that “Who’s with me?” She said, “I need to do this and I can’t do it unless you do it, too.” It’s hell being Lucy March’s best friend, but I’m in. –Jenny LOL. I did say that to Jenny when I decided to do South Beach. Come back tomorrow for [...]
(A warning: Today’s is a particularly unflattering post, but there is one value I hold to on this blog, and it is honesty.
