How Stepford Came To Be
Typically, people either get Stepford or they don't. If you get it, you'll like it here. If you don't, you won't and I'll probably irritate the living hell out of you. That's okay. I probably wouldn't care for you either. If you're interested in exactly how, as a writer, Stepford came to be the place that I live then you'll need to read this.

Rules I Live By
1. Thou shall not speak Redneck.
2. When you can walk in heels, you can wear them.
3. Do not phone stalk. I am not deaf.

6. If you wax, I don't need to know.
7. If you need to wax, please do.

It's A Wonderful Life
"Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about... they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. People were human beings to him. But to you, a warped, frustrated old man, they're cattle. Well, in my book he died a much richer man than you'll ever be." ~George Bailey
