Olympic Hunger Games: Sochi

February 11, 2014 by Sue

I wish I had lived a life with this much courage.

If you could wake up tomorrow and be fluent in any language you don’t currently speak, which would it be? Why? What’s the first thing you do with your new linguistic skills? It is a tie between Spanish and American Sign Language. Spanish because it is the fastest growing language in the United States and […]

Pittsburgh Based “This Week In Gender” Debuts on YouTube

February 9, 2014 by Sue

A new YouTube show debuted this week produced by the Gender Dances Project, based right here in Pittsburgh. The show is called “This Week in Gender” and features several local familiar faces who aren’t often given a platform. The video is NSFW because of language, but it is rather engaging. I was particularly struck by […]

My Must Have Kitchen Ingredient – Tony Chachere’s

February 9, 2014 by Sue

What’s the one item in your kitchen you can’t possibly cook without? A spice, your grandma’s measuring cup, instant ramen — what’s your magic ingredient, and why? When I moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1992, I was introduced to this magical seasoning “Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning” by my various authentic Louisiana born friends. We […]

Nightmares

February 8, 2014 by Sue

We all loathe nightmares. Mine tend to come and go in spurts, usually linked to some stressor but lately a “spurt” has been hanging around. I wake up with adrenaline coursing through me so I can’t sleep, but I’m exhausted after a week of this. I’ve tried all sorts of things – soothing cups of […]

My Pierogie Pillow

February 7, 2014 by Sue

What is my most prized possession? Well, I excluded living creatures so I went searching the house. And I picked this: Ledcat found this adorable pillow via Commonwealth Press and purchased one as a Christmas Gift for me. It is adorable, but it is also practical – I prop my head up with it […]

General Hospital Fans Have a Stake in Russian Anti-LGBTQ Violence Too

February 7, 2014 by Sue

After yesterday’s post asking fans of “Days of Our Lives” to demand NBC speak out against the atrocities the Russian government is levying against their LGBTQ citizens, I realized that it certainly doesn’t stop with NBC soaps.ABC’s General Hospital has a frontburner story with the evolving love triangle of Brad Cooper torn between Felix DuBois […]

Soap Fans, Please Send Your #CheersToSochi to Support #WilSon, Lucas, Brad, Felix and Friends

February 6, 2014 by Sue

The Olympics begin tonight on NBC and while DAYS will apparently not be bumped for coverage, there is a very important concern for viewers, especially fans of #Wilson, Will Horton and Sonny Kiriakis. As you may know, Russia has cracked down on “homosexual propaganda” under federal law and informal use of brutal and repressive tactics […]

What Do The Cats Say?

February 6, 2014 by Sue

I tend to think of our pets in 3 distinct groupings – the dogs, the elder cats and the other cats. Why? Probably because the dogs roll as a group in spite of age differences whereas cat configurations are often determined by age. There are thousands if not millions of webpages and social media sites […]
