I haven't been on nearly as much lately, but I wanted to take a minute to wish all of my TMF brethren, both in the US and abroad, a happy, healthy and safe holiday season.
Here, in no particular order, are some of the TMF things I am thankful for...
1. The mods, for keeping this place...
I used to be an amateur psychologist. Back in high school / college, I seemed to always be the person people went to when they had troubles. I can't begin to count the number of nights spent staying up until the wee hours, discussing problems with significant others, parents, work, etc. I...
I never liked To Kill a Mockingbird. Actually, to be completely honest, I'm not totally sure I ever read it.
I assume I was supposed to, since it's one of those "all-time classics" that everyone raves about, but I'm not sure if I ever did.
I couldn't tell you what it's about, except...
Caring for your fellow man is something that has been lost in today's educational world.
We spend so much time focusing on teaching kids to read and write, add and subtract that we sometimes forget to teach how to be kind, decent individuals.
Would you rather live in a world of literate...
I was playing around with StumbleUpon yesterday, and came across a website.

Quite simple really. You are given a word, and have 60 seconds to write about it.
Sounds like a perfect idea for me to borrow for this blog, no?
We'll start later today, if I remember.
I was in a public restroom recently, and happened to notice that a one dollar bill was sitting behind the toilet. For about a third of a second, I contemplated taking it, only to laugh at myself and get the hell out of there.
Which begs the question... Is there an amount of money that you...
It was a Tuesday.
I hadn't been in school very long.
In fact, the more I think about it, school had just started. I know this because I was on my way to class. Once I got used to the whole college life, going to class became something I did with much less frequency.
It was a history...
Have you ever sneezed so hard you wind up sore afterwards? When I have a particularly violent sneeze, I wind up aching in my shoulders or back. Why is that? I don't recall thrashing violently, or bending over backwards mid-sneeze.
My sneezes are also really loud. One time, I was at a...
If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a YouTube junkie. I'm always looking for the next big thing, or a baby biting his brother. . .
Well, my friends, I found my Xanadu...
If you like modern music, acoustic guitar, or just guys with mustaches, allow me to introduce Igor Presnyakov. This...
Sorry, friends, but this will not be a minute's musing on that greatest of canned meats.
I'm referring to the Spam posts, and now Spam blogs, we get from time to time.
At first, I was really annoyed by these, as would be expected. This means that evil people with their computers and their...
I'd like to ask a question to the members of my studio audience, and please, be honest.
When you type the letters "LOL" into a text or chat, how many of you are actually laughing at the time?
I mention this because I often wind up IM'ing with people who are in the same area as me (Don't...
I nearly punched a hole through my computer screen just now.
I signed onto FB, you know, like you do, and the first 5 "news feeds" were people regurgitating status updates. There was one on the Hurricane, two on the difference between men and women, and two that made some reference to male...
I've been thinking a lot about the way people act here on the forums, and whether or not that has more to do with the anonymity of it all, or if people are just generally irritating.
This caused me to ponder driving habits. I was tailgated for most of my drive home from being out last...
There is a debate going on right now about whether or not to close the Politics and Religion forum. You can go check it out on your own if you haven't already, but it basically comes down to whether or not there can be civil conversation about serious issues without it turning into Flame War...
People need to calm down about the Hurricane. Yes, it's a serious storm. Yes, it's going to cause trouble. No, we don't need to wet ourselves about it.
There will be wind and rain. Some things will flood. Some things will fall over. If you live in an area where this is a possibility...
As pretty much all East Coasters know, Hurricane Irene is making its way through the Bahamas, with expected landfall anywhere from tomorrow to Monday, depending on your location.
First of all, I hope everyone is preparing themselves, and is safe through the weekend. There are some things you...
On the East Coast, people are still "recovering" from the earthquake, and are making preparations for Hurricane Irene, which will touch down anytime in the next few days.
I wonder sometimes. . . If the world really was ending, would we notice? Or would we be too busy watching the news and...
Have you ever stopped at looked at the clouds?
I know, I know, this sounds like I'm about to sit in a bathtub outside and discuss erectile dysfunction, but humor me.
Have you ever really noticed the clouds? Not those wispy little ones, but the big fluffy clouds? The ones that look like...
I'm not a big visitor to Fetlife, though when I am there, I always wonder the same thing.
What possesses someone to have a profile picture of their genitalia? I'm speaking mainly to the guys here. Men, a female body is beautiful, and worth looking at. A penis is a strange alien creature...
