Recycler guilt

Posted Friday, November 30, 2007 9:26 AM by HeatherLeigh
I have recycler guilt. I check everything for recyclability (huh?). I wash out the containers so my recycling bin doesn't get stinky. As we know, I hate "stinky". Unless it's pleasantly stinky (gasoline, magic markers), then I love it in a lightheaded-I-don't-care-about-my-braincells-they'll-grow-back Read More...

Companeee Namez

Posted Wednesday, November 28, 2007 8:35 AM by HeatherLeigh
I admit that I, too, find the ubiquity of goo-goo-gaa-gaa named companies a bit hard to take. They all start to sound alike and it's just plain marketing laziness. I can't believe that the target market for all of these (mostly) services is that unsophisticated. Read More...

Dear Blog

Dear Blog, This isn't the type of thing that I should write in a letter but I'm not sure I can tell you to your face. I have tried to tell you before, but every time you open in my browser window and look at me like that, it reminds me how much I love Read More...
