http://shaggydogtale.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Ah, the rural life. Critters, events, opinions and trivia. Tuesday, May 04, 2010. Travel back in time to the Renaissance. Ah it's Spring. Time to enjoy the lovely seasonal Renaissance Faire activities. In CT, we are about to embark on the Robin Hood Springtime Festival, see:. Http:/ www.ctfaire.com/spring/. So much to the dismay of family and friends who can not believe how geeky I am, I am going to get out the garb, cinch up "the girls" into a bustier and go have a blast. Posted by Fritzi at 11:43 AM.

Ah, the rural life. Critters, events, opinions and trivia. Monday, October 23, 2006. Can spam drive you crazy? It appears there are loopholes in the "do not call" registry, including the exemption of: companies that you have previously done business with; non-profit solicitation; political campaign information; calls that are initiated from outside of the US, and more. The thing that puzzles me is why on earth do the originators of the email spam messages think they are effective? The spam that drives me...

Ah, the rural life. Critters, events, opinions and trivia. Sunday, October 18, 2009. Beauty products from our youth. Recently, I recalled a beauty product from my youth. It was called Tangee. Lipstick and when a wearer put it on, it would turn to a unique color based on the chemistry of the wearer. For many of us in the 1960's, Tangee. Was the first (and sometimes only) makeup we were allowed to wear, since it produced a "natural" look. Nevermind. That my particular chemistry made Tangee. I am also racki...

http://shaggydogtale.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Ah, the rural life. Critters, events, opinions and trivia. Thursday, October 18, 2007. Where oh where did my focus go? I am trying to figure out exactly when I lost the ability to focus. In specific, to get a task done without being sidetracked. I suspect menopause is the cause of this disappearance, but then again, I blame menopause for everything that's gone awry, (memory loss, facial hair growth, sleeplessness and other stuff that I already forgot). Thank goodness I am retired. There once was a time w...

Shaggy Dog Tales: November 2004
http://shaggydogtale.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html
Ah, the rural life. Critters, events, opinions and trivia. Tuesday, November 23, 2004. It's been years since I tried to add any new "gourmet" items to my Thanksgiving dinners. My last attempt was to introduce a cranberry orange chutney in lieu of the jellied cranberry sauce (nobody ate it but me). I don't try to make the entire dinner on Thanksgiving day anymore either. I make everything except for the turkey, gravy and asparagus on the days before Thanksgiving. That way, I get to enjoy my company.
