Home Depot Customer Service Failure
I just got home from the local Home Depot. What an epic failure that expedition was. Wow. At home I am doing a little renovation; I am changing what was the laundry-room into a bedroom (twins, you know). So I wanted to remove the dryer outlet, a 220 volt receptacle. I had the power shut [...]
Is Soda an American Word?
It is amusing to see what kind of things light people up. Language is one of the things that I discovered can really light people up. An example of this? The other day, just out of the blue I said that wanted to pop into the store to get a “soda.” I used the word “soda” [...]
Kumsheen Secondary’s 10 Year Grad Reunion and Retirement Celebration
Yesterday evening I had the very great honour of returning to my hometown, Lytton BC and MC’ing a ten year grad reunion along with a retirement celebration for one of my teacher-mentors.

TV Remote Control

Wordless Wednesday June 23rd
A day at the park with the twins. Annalie playing peekaboo. Story flying on the swings. An absolutely child-like joy. So beautiful to be part of. So beautiful.
Sign the Petition to Stop the Whale Hunt
Something a little different for the Stacey Robinsmith dot com crowd but something that needs our collective attention. While we do not agree with EVERY campaign that the well-intentioned people from Avaaz embark on, maintaining the moratorium on whale hunting is one campaign that we support and endorse wholeheartedly. The following information came to us from Avaaz. [...]
The Bachelor and Vienna Splitsville
Seriously now, I am beginning to lose faith in the ability of reality tv shows to actually find true love for people. I heard the news this morning that Jake, the bachelor, and Vienna have parted ways after only three months. Does this mean that the current Bachelorette, Ali, may not actually find her true love? [...]
Water Bottle Bombs
So this morning I received an email describing how some freaky terrorist-like people are going around McGyvering together “water-bottle bombs.” The email says that under no circumstances should you pick up partially full water bottles that have mysteriously appeared in your frontyard overnight. Apparently these water-bottle bombs will explode once you touch them. And they make one [...]
