Kathy the malcontent. So are you like me? Do things ever just make you miffed? Does the word "miffed" make you want to hurl? If you want to accentuate the negative (if only for a few minutes) then you picked the right blog for the job. Join me for a spot of tea and a rant session, won't you? 1.) The title of this blog. Ha ha, I am making a silly reference to a well known toy store in the United States. (Toys R' Us) But let's consider this...R' business. ...
