Hi there, Persephoneers!

My friend told me there was a study  a little while ago showing that when women even speak for 30% of a conversation they’re viewed as dominating it by men. Now he can’t find the link […]

Yum! That looks delicious.

That tour must have been something to experience! It’s on my bucket list to see her live at least once. She’s amazing.

Jeff Daniels is doing a fabulous job as Will McAvoy in The Newsroom. 

I’ve always loved loved loved “Killer Queen” by Queen.My dad was really into them when I was young and that song described a kind of woman to aspire to be (to little me). It was just full of all […]

I saw this movie again a month or so ago, and Mr. Rose pointed out the one Heather getting raped in the background when she and Veronica are out on that “date” with the two football players, while Veronica is […]

The Mr. and I have been thinking about giving up soda. These recipes are going to be extremely helpful in this endeavor, I think. Thanks for sharing!

I’m glad you figured out a working solution. If they stopped carrying it in my area there would be hell to pay. I’m pretty fussy about my soup.
