Bar the Doors and Hide Your Daughters — Blogging Will Occur Tonight!
It’s a grey, windy, rainy day today — the sort of day that practically demands that you hole up under a small mountain of blankets with some sort of delicious comfort food and watch cheesy movies well into the evening hours. That would be, in fact, the perfect way to spend the day and I’d [...]
Now It’s Time To Say Good Bye (For a While) To All My Company…
As most of you know, The Sundries Shack has been around for very nearly 5 1/2 years. In that time, I’ve learned a lot about blogging. Some of what I learned came from talking to other bloggers about how they do what they do. More of it came from reading advice on what makes for [...]
Rule 5 Sunday – A Lovely Smile on a Lovely Woman
I haven’t played in the fields of Rule 5 blogging for a long while and it’s probably time I tried my hand at it again. My problem is, there are so many truly lovely women to admire that choosing just one is like picking the very best jellybean out of a ten pound bag of [...]

Let me tell [...]
Gaze Upon the Blogger Booty and Marvel!
As you might remember, I recently guest-hosted an episode of Wendy Sullivan’s Brass Balls Radio. Well, during the show, Wendy mentioned that as a guest-host, I would receive a rare and coveted coffee mug. So, today, guess what arrived courtesy the UPS man? I hear you scoffers now. Surely anyone can get such a mug, [...]
I Know We’re Not in the Same Market, But Still…
Dear Radio Shack, Step off. Love, The Shack.
Warning: Shack Strangeness All Weekend
Sunday Update: Most of what I had expected to do is done now, thanks to Andrew Riley and Duane Lester. Duane and I were talking and I mentioned my woes. He whistled up Andrew, who just did some great work at his site, and, literally within five minutes of that conversation, Andrew was on my [...]
