New Blog and Excuses!
So, I feel obligated to post something about where the hell I’ve been for the last couple of months. I used to be so good about updating, and then just fell off the face of the earth. So here are some details: First, I set up a new blog – I decided to move to WordPress as my platform, and also move everything off the sub domain to the main NeuroticByNature.com domain. Ha, easier said than done. I fought with deciding on what design I wanted to use, redesigning my look – much cleaner now ... Read Full Story

A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table saying, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.' 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband,' said the wife. The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof two tickets for the Queen Mary II app... Read Full Story

End of an Era, Goodbye Polaroid
I just read a story from CNN about how there will be no more Polaroid film being manufactured. While I haven't used a film camera for more than 5 years, it's amazing to think that there are future generations who will never get the thrill of waiting for a Polaroid image to develop. Overall, I can't say the decision surprises me, but it certainly makes me nostalgic. When I look through my old photographs, regardless of if they are Polaroid, black and white or just disposable came... Read Full Story
Sir Spam-a-lot
Quick note to all you fucking Buy Generic Viagra Spammers! FUCKING DIE! I hate you.  I hate the thought of having to start moderating comments, but one of the reasons I haven't been writing as much lately is because I am so annoyed by all the spam.  Don't know if it's the economy (thank you for finally calling it what it it, a recession) or if it's the holiday shopping season, but I just deleted over 150 comments that came in in the last 48 hours.  REALLY PEOPLE?  There is a s...

Bees!
So, I had this Bee Situation - a hive of bees that thought my house was an awesome place to live. I posted this on Craigslist....until some jackass flagged it and it got taken down:I have a hive of honeybees - of the buzzy variety. They are living in the eaves of my house - if you come and pick them up, they are yours free! They seem to like living here, so I suggest you bring photos of your house, to help encourage them to move. Since we found several honeycombs (and not the breakfast cereal... Read Full Story

Palin is a Fucking Idiot
God, I can't believe she is this close to being one ancient McCain heartbeat from being the President of the United States. So, according to Palin's theory, I could be ambassador to Mexico because I live in Arizona (Oooooo it borders a FOREIGN COUNTRY) and I've eaten at Taco Bell. Read Full Story
