Sexy Canning = Botulism
Mr. VS and I were quite domesticated (like badly behaved pets) this fall and we tried some canning from the bounty of the land, i.e. our garden. BTW…we totally have a farm or something minus any animals except cats – cat farm? Our farm has no name currently but it could be called Poison Ivy…

Forget the Lifetime Failure Tally: Look Ahead
I’ve now officially (you heard it here) been informed, through an article online that I cannot find again (did it really exist??) that I should be looking toward the future and not at the past. Mr. VS also recently told me that millionaires and highly successful people refuse to see failure and instead are always…

My Body is a Polluted Bombed Out Wasteland
So as you might know, I’ve been on meds (Zoloft for anxiety/panic attacks) for about a year and a half. Prior to this med-circus I’m partaking in now, I had been off meds for 3.5 years. And before that I was on them for about 8 years and prior to that I was medication free…

Broken, The Internet Is
So there are some people out there that think they are going to break the internet with their ass. These ‘people’ shall remain nameless since I can’t stand to toot their horn more than it has already been tooted by everyone else on the planet. However, I do have a few things to say on…

A Case of “the Uglies” with Mincing and Ogling
Yesterday I had a mean case of the uglies. It’s sort of like the “mondays” but it’s the uglies instead. I don’t mean, I was ugly, as in I was horrible to be around or my mood was hideous or anything like that. What I mean is that I felt…hideous, physically. Yes, yesterday I was…

My Story of Panic: Angst
Originally posted on Stigma Fighters Down Under : I’ve described my panic attacks, anxiety and subsequent depression in many different ways over the 20 years I’ve battled my inner demons. Sometimes it is as an adversary, sometimes as a curse or monster, sometimes as my burden, my craziness, even my mental defect. My monster resorts…

The Gluten Tooth
For fun I decided it would be a good idea to do an elimination diet. You know, for health and such. Okay I’m lying, it’s really because I have Endometriosis and thought maybe I could help my symptoms if I learned which foods might be “inflammatory” for me. You know, the foods that get me…

Love It or Hate It: Oh the Controversy!
As I’m moving through my blog tour I’m learning that people definitely have opinions about Angst. Some people love it, others hate it! It’s interesting to me because I never really thought it was that controversial. I mean…I get it’s kinda of depressing and it can be confusing, but I never realized how much it…

The Way it Was, Back in the Day
I grew up in a religious family. I went to church every single Sunday. I was told not to have sex before marriage, not to drink or party and because of this I hid a lot of what was going on with me from my family as a teenager. They knew about my panic attacks,…

This is Why We’re All Overweight
I’ve done a little thinking on the topic and I’ve come up with several reason why we’re all overweight and continue to gain the old lbs. The equation looks something like this: unhappiness + depression + meaninglessness + boredom + our modern culture…

Friend-cation and Camping Sucks
I just went on the most fun friend-cation ever! BEST TIME EVER!! YOLO fools!!! (We were all about yelling YOLO about anything and everything because we hate it so much.

Sanctioning Cat Fights: Bitey and the Gentleman
My husband claims that I am promoting cat fights. And not just promoting, but organizing, advertising and preparing the combatants. He is wrong, of course. I’m doing nothing of the sort, because animal fights are inhumane. (weird how human is a part of the word inhumane but it can apply to many species?? We are…
