I gave up the pen and pencil ages ago, and now they are used to hold down papers on my desk. I am left-handed and my printing always took up more space than was allowed, and my writing could never decide which way it wanted to slant, so the keyboard became my best friend. I was recently dating a ni...

Ouch! We found a sore spot. Geekette, or Geekess is personal, and an aspiration and title for me. I don't see myself falling into the Geek catagory and is just a made up word for my own use and goal setting. It fits for the vision I see in my head and keeps the humour alive. I have had the honour o...

How very interesting Palewriter! I have strived for years to become a geekette, but now that I see your interpretation, with the diminutive thought in mind, that is not at all who I have worked so hard to become. However, Geekess....like the Goddess of computers has such a grand sound to it. I love...

I love when I come across an unfamiliar word when reading rather dull technical articles. Today, this word had me wiggling in my seat to get to the other computer to research it. It came from an article about Trapeze Networks. "As wireless technology becomes ubiquitous , new channels are openi...

Crumpets are a long-standing treat in our family with only one bakery in our huge city that does a decent job of making them. There is nothing like a toasted crumpet with a pat of real butter, and a drizzle of real Canadian maple syrup. Delectable! For the other meaning of crumpet, well...lets just...

How could I forget the fat group? In this day and age of low carb, low fat, no fat, no food world of eating, which I admit to participating in on a regular basis, the occasional pizza makes it all worthwhile. Not just any pizza though, it has to be great pizza, and it is my personal quest in life t...

Had I known you were serving food I would have been back ages ago! My humblest apologies for my absence, I have missed you all, people and words. I have always felt that Pizza should be classed as a food group all on its own. Having said that, I am not sure where I would slot it in though. There ar...

I spent my first six years of education in a new concept school in Canada. We did not have desks, and we did not have many walls. Classes were mixed grades with the idea that children learn at different speeds, so cross grading based on knowledge would be a good idea. I had a lovely first six years ...

Henri! ...how could you write about my regal problems in open forum? My life is just like that of a princess but my only problem is that vexing pee that awakes me around 5 am~! Oh well, just too sensitive I suppose.

I just love the southern accent. I won't be the first to admit that I have fallen for the southern accent of Tennessee, I am sure there are many a gal who has swooned at the sound and the phrases of a man from Tennessee. {Sighs} I remember when.... well, that's a story for another time. As I am fro...

there goes my matutinal coffee again! Thanks BD!
