Taking the Plunge

Published in Santa Cruzlocal colorLittle Stories by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

We were a colorful group that morning, the five of us. Chris, with her cat glasses and multiple facial piercings; Elijah (aka Lije), looking like the long red haired six foot elf that he is; my new friends - Katie & Rennick, family members of the Smiling Iguana Cafe; and me, you know me... a tattooed, spiky haired dyke who apparently lives under the

Flex those Muscles

As we walked down to the beach, my daughter said, “Ok, mom, I’m going to want you to remember something.”

I said, “Ok, honey, I’ll try to inscribe it into my little brain.”

“Mom,” she said, a little exasperated, “It’s not your brain that’s little. It’s your bladder.”

Have you done your kegles today?

 My friend sent me this email I thought was worth repeating. Not my usual blog style, I know, but still worth a chuckle between pensating.

On the Book of my Body

Published in TattoosQuotes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

I am no longer afraid of mirrors where I see the sign of the amazon, the one who shoots arrows. There is a fine red line across my chest where a knife entered, but now a branch winds about the scar and travels from arm to heart. Green leaves cover the branch, grapes hang there and a bird appears. What grows in me now is vital and does not cause me harm. I

A Gigolo by Any Other Name

Published in Jokes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

A woman was sitting at a bar enjoying an after work cocktail with her girlfriends when an exceptionally tall, handsome, extremely sexy, middle-aged man entered. He was so striking that the woman could not take her eyes off of him.

The young-at-heart man noticed her overly attentive stare and walked directly toward her (as all men will.) Before she could

3 Changes

Published in Reflections by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

Three changes I have made which have improved my life tremendously:


No TV
When I was married, TV guide ran our life. I disconnected cable when we divorced, eleven years ago. I enjoy movies & dvds, love tv at a friends house, but the gift of time and being on my own schedule is immeasurable. I read, do art, play games, garden, run my business, and of course,

Laughter is the Best Medicine

Published in Quotes by RamblingRose | Comment (2)

People who laugh a lot are much healthier than those who don’t. Dr. Lee Berk at the Loma Linda School of Public Health found that laughing lowers levels of stress hormones, and strengthens the immune system. 6 year olds have it best - they laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15-100 times a day.

What made you laugh today?

But Didn't That Hurt?

Published in Tattoosstuff we all needSanta CruzQuoteslocal color by RamblingRose | Comment (0)
By Western standards, there is nothing ladylike about being tattooed. Standards of acceptable beauty for women still dictate unblemished skin. The female body can be adorned with ear piercings, make-up and silicon implants, but any form of decoration that radically challenges main stream beauty standards is sure to raise eyebrows.

Tattooing is an undeniably

Just the facts, Ma'am

Published in Jokes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)

Three women, two younger & a one senior citizen were sitting naked in a sauna. Suddenly there was a beeping sound. The young woman pressed her forearm and the beep stopped.

The others looked at her questioningly. "That was my pager," she said, "I have a microchip under the skin of my arm."

A few minutes later, a phone rang. The second woman lifted her palm to

Thoughts on Happiness

This is from my friend Trinity's blog:

Today I am wrapped in a quilt made for me by mi abuelita, and watching the snow fall beyond the window. It's cold and pretty outside, warm and cozy inside. My dog, Mango, is curled beside me and I'm pretty sure that he had a lap of my hot chocolate while I wasn't looking.

My thoughts are on the future. There are things

I asked my daughter if she thought that in the future, people would get little microchip implants that would transmit your thoughts directly into somebody else's head, instead of cell phones, email, etc.

"Nah," she drawled, "People love the sound of their own voice too

On Friendship

Published in ReflectionsQuotes by RamblingRose | Comment (0)


And a youth said, "Speak to us of Friendship."

Your friend is your needs answered.

He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.

And he is your board and your fireside.

For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.

When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you
