Cursed Tongue: What’s Your Damage?

Posted by CursedTongue on September 11, 2008

Last week I brought my recycling bin in early. Unusual for me, and exciting information for my reading audience, I know. But it was a good thing. About two hours after the waste removal professional dispatched my plastic empties, tin cans and toilet paper rolls, the wind whipped into a frenzy.

A Milestone Birthday with a Side of Cholesterol

Posted by Cynical Sarah on August 25, 2008

My Mom turned 50 this year (sorry for the big reveal Mom), but perhaps more shocking than her turning 50 is that fact that she also becomes the mother of a 30-year-old this year.

Cursed Tongue: Adventures in Jurisimprudence: Bearing Witless, Part 1

Posted by CursedTongue on June 19, 2008

Passing through the doors into courtroom I crawl into the skin of Juror #6, emotionally reserved and attentive, as opposed to dramatic and flighty.
