Really?!

Now that I am home, let me relate to you what happened to me while in the Mart of Wal yesterday:

A man, twitchy looking dude, casually walked by and asked if I needed help with anything. My automatic response, as is yours, most likely, was to say "No thanks." He acted as if he was going to walk past me, then stopped and asked how well I know the area. My hackles rose and I immediately went into defensive mode -- I mean, really, someone asking if you need something usually means store attendant, right?? I turned to him, making sure to keep my cart in my view as well (because I'm paranoid) and told him I don't know the area well at all. He looked slightly saddened. "Well, I just moved here from Flagstaff, Arizona and I just need help with...well, do you know anything about baby's milk?" Um...what? "I have an infant with special needs and I don't know what kind of formula to get for him. I was wondering if you could help me out?"

...um...what?

Told the guy "Sorry, I don't have any kids. I have no clue how to help you".

The first thing that flitted through my mind when he left: "Oh my gawd! Do I look like a mother???" Then my second thought: "What if it was just a ploy? A trick?" My final thought: "Oh my gawd, what if he's a kidnapper that has an infant and doesn't know the first thing about the kid he has???"

The moment my bags were in the kitchen, I scanned news stations online for missing kids. I found nothing. A slightly relaxing thing.

Delicipes: Delicous Recipes from My Kitchen

Just to keep things simple, I started a recipe blog away from this blog. I know people that would prefer to read just recipes and nothing else from my life, so this makes it easier.

If you care to keep up with my kitchen, follow Delicipes - just be warned that postings are not regular and the majority of the recipes are "old" concoctions and things I've found online or in a book (with proper credits, of course) that are possibly altered.

If you have a recipe you think I might like, feel free to send me an email [delicipes-at-gmail-dot-com]. If you host a recipe site of your own, let me know; I will link it in the blog's right-hand column, and, if I use a recipe, you get an additional link-to in the post! (Have I mentioned how much I love trying new recipes?)

The Real House Maidens of Bugman's Best - UPDATE!

The season is almost half over! I need to schedule my week 5 game (the halfway point) and finish painting my girls. I've let other things take over my time with my girls and I shouldn't have; but that's my own fault and they are suffering for it (only five girls are completely painted and one girl is stuck at the half-dressed point). Not that it is affecting their game play! No, I still suck (my first season), but I am having a ton of fun - and that is what the game is all about, right?

College Writing - Philosophy Class

What follows is exactly what I wrote in response for my philosophy class. We were given very few guidelines to follow, our instructor wanted us to use our minds, think outside the box, and write something that was NOT a 2-page report on what we had read. For the final paper, this is where my mind took me.

A Touchy Subject That Needs To Be Heard
