When does a collecting hobby cross the line? I’ve heard of people who collect things and sometimes get kinda crazy about it… Like this one guest on Dr. Phil who collected Star Wars stuff. No problem there, but once he started talking about the details of his obsession, it became obvious he had an unhealthy […]

I don’t know about anyone else, but I thought this season of “The Office” on NBC started out as great as all the others. Then, enter the writer’s strike… Many precious weeks of laughs lost. After the writer’s strike I could see some rusty red-brown. Not that is wasn’t funny. Hey, I would take the

We put in the movie Mrs. Doubtfire for the kids the other day, and I was curious about what happened to the youngest daughter in that movie, Mara Wilson, because I’ve always thought she was so cute. So I looked it up on imdb.com, and discovered that this movie is 15 years old already!!! Which

Well, this is my second post with the new “backend” of the tangents.org website, and I have to say, so far I like it better! It really wasn’t that difficult to get used to the changes, and so far anyway, I’ve found everything I need. If you’ve read my post called, “When Technology Attacks” then

I have a love/hate relationship with electronic technology. I love and appreciate the advances that have been made in the world, and I use lots of technologically savvy stuff every day. But I hate learning the new stuff, and if I procrastinate, it seems that when I finally break down and learn it, something new

While we’re on the subject of politics, I was reading about Jenna Bush’s upcoming nuptial’s today, and I discovered an interesting article about the parallels of opposites between Bush’s daughter and former President Roosevelt’s daughter Alice, both of whom will be married while their fathers were Presidents of the United States; Jenna’s wedding taking place over a century after Alice’s. From CNN.com: Doug

While I am a current events junkie, I am most reluctant to follow politics for some reason. Give me true-crime stories, entertainment news, or natural disaster tales any day – I can’t get enough. But when it comes to politics, I have trouble even forcing myself to follow the news, even though they talk about
