A tisket, a tasket, a homemade casket

My mother is a major tightwad. Especially when it comes to things that are death and burial-related. It’s all a rip-off as far as she’s concerned. Thus we had this conversation a while ago (I swear this is absolutely true). Mom: “When I die I want to be buried in… Read More

Hey, funny pants

Every once in a while Mister likes to psyche me out and pretend to have died. Hilarious, no? There was the time he was trying to fix our washing machine and got a gigantic shock. “The shock went up one arm and down the other,” he told me. I wasn’t… Read More

Allow me to introduce the Stink-Finder

The Stink-Finder can be found on various pet websites. It’s nothing more than a fancy black light. Those who are familiar with the C.S.I. oeuvre know that it enables a person to see traces of blood. It also enables a person to see traces of urine so it’s perfect for… Read More
