https://culdesacked.wordpress.com/about
I tweet. I blog. I drive around a lot. I do not do “giveaways” of junk no one really wants, nor “reviews” of stuff no one really needs. I blog and tweet for fun and amusement although once my friends IRL (who provide the fodder for my tweets and blog) figure out “The Twitter,” and I am busted, this joyride comes to an end. Or leave a trackback: Trackback URL. Main Street Musings Blog. September 23, 2011 at 7:03 pm. Discovered your blog when I was searching for suburban graphics–how random is that? Fill i...

Laquo; No fun with Dick and Jane. Enough with the potlucks! Rules to live by. May 22, 2012. Look, I’m only trying to help here. Dear people I actually know but are too dense to recognize themselves:. 1 Quit posting skantacular photos of your 16-year-old budding porn star on Facebook. Are you trying to lure the neighborhood perv into a Fifty Shades of Grey deal? No Enough with the booty shots of your kid. It’s weird. And wrong. And weird. That makes one of us. Like, nice and pleasant? 8221; is code for &#...

Man up, Michelle Bachmann. August 10, 2011. I don't know about you but I've had it with the hysteria over Newsweek's Michelle Bachmann cover. Critics say it is sexist. Oh, come on. Yeah she looks a little nuts here, but sexist? It reminds me of this so-called sexist magazine cover featuring Sarah Palin. I'm sorry, did Newsweek paparazzi stake out Sarah to come upon this image of her with the flag, or did she happily pose for it? I don't remember anyone complaining this magazine cover was sexist. I’...

A white, suburban, middle-class take on “The Help” | Culdesacked

Laquo; Man up, Michelle Bachmann. The Gospel according to Starbucks. A white, suburban, middle-class take on “The Help”. August 11, 2011. Alas, poor Celia. I know her well. I’ve read and now seen “The Help” and both the printed and screen versions made my mascara run until I looked like Alice Cooper. I really like this well-balanced video post from the site Newsy.com, which pulls together a wide ranged of comments from numerous sources. Check it out. There’s a scene in the movie where Celia, who is...

Laquo; Allergies in Wonderland: A fairy tale. Chapter Two. Rules to live by. No fun with Dick and Jane. January 19, 2012. A friend has been inviting us over forever. We never accept because my husband cannot stand hers – with good reason. The most recent invitation came at just the right time. My husband was going to be out of town on business so I accepted. She really is a good friend, and I felt like it was going to start hurting her feelings if I. Here’s what happened. This bird, the size of velocirap...

Laquo; Rules to live by. Enough with the potlucks! June 2, 2012. There is no such place. I’ve had it with invitations to parties that come with catering assignments. 8220;Bring an appetizer to share and whatever you want to drink,” reads the latest GNO invite to hit my inbox. It’s just the latest in a string of invitations where the hostess seems to be willing to open the front door but that’s about it – the guests are pressed into service supplying the refreshments. What do you think? Agree 100%. If...

Mrs Ingram noticed Alice standing at the door and waved her in. 8220;You’re the new student? 8221; the teacher asked. “Erin just buzzed.”. 8220;Tell me your name, dear,” Mrs. Ingram said. “Poor Erin tried to tell me about you but, you know…”. 8220;Pardon the noise, dear, we’re about to get ready for lunch,” Mrs. Ingram said.

Laquo; Catch me if you can. Cocktail party crime scene! Hello, pest control? I have a Me-vite problem. December 5, 2011. So I hear you're having a party? Great, I'll be right over! Seasonal socializing in my corner of the suburbs has revealed a new species of pest. This person learns you’re having a party through a mutual friend who actually did get invited. Instead of saying, “Well, have fun! 8221; or better yet, planning their own party, the Me-vite connives her way onto your guest list. Sure, come on.

Laquo; Hello, pest control? I have a Me-vite problem. Allergies in Wonderland: A fairy tale. Chapter One. Cocktail party crime scene! December 7, 2011. I am sounding the social-scene siren. A cocktail party breaking-and-entering may be about to occur. Anyway, my pre-party is shaping up nicely. About 30 people are coming and I’ve done a pretty good job at keeping out intruders (this is not always the case; see my previous post. Biggest know-it-all you’ve ever seen. What is with people? Obviously I canR...

Laquo; The Gospel according to Starbucks. Hello, pest control? I have a Me-vite problem. Catch me if you can. September 21, 2011. You know what former Vice President Dick Cheney, Osama bin Laden and Dr. Evil have in common? Set aside for a moment that Cheney is the only one who is actually A. Real and B. Alive). All three were totally down with secret, undisclosed locations. But I am hip to the desire to live life on the down low. Especially this time of year, when. So I’m taking a new approach thi...
