TRACI MICHELE!!

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I think the headline says it all, thanks, it's all about me! But just for the record: I'm an only child, only grandchild on one side, the youngest grandchild on the other, a singer, a guitarist and a woman. Any ONE of these things would make me think the sun shines out my ass! I handle it pretty well, all things considered... most of the time!

Who Is to Blame?

I've been reading the various opinions - eduated and un - about the death of Eight Belles. Who, ultimately, is to blame for her untimely and horrific death? Her parents? They gave her bad genetics. No...

The Day the Bitch Stole My Shoes

Today's nonsense with Victor and my cat, Fluffy, brought back a horrible injustice that, even 35 years now, still pisses me off. Wendy Kohler stole my shoes in 3rd grade. Yes, it's true. That bitch to...
