In Texas, you hear people bitching about immigration all of the time. Granted, it does put a strain on our social services, but people would rather blame the people coming over trying to have a better life before looking at our own policies.

I am just fooling myself if I think that my job doesn’t have anything to do with my state of mind. Yeah, there are some good days, and days when I see the value of my being there. Today, one of my 15 year old boys was in a state of panic because his 14 […]

Breaking news: It woke me up in the middle of the night, and when I went to take some more extra-strength Tylenol, my filling fell out. So apparently the gritting of the teeth isn’t the only thing causing pain. Of course this happens at the very beginning of a three day weekend. The pain is […]

I really wish I could have thought up a good caption for this one. I’d love to see Varmint featured on CanIHasCheezburger. That would be awesome. My sense of humor hasn’t been working lately, though. Or maybe my clevermeter needs some more juice. What would you put for the caption?
