It was an innocuous phrase from my mother that doomed my 5th annual gift of a mushroom-spotted potholder & dishtowel set to it’s gloomy fate - ”This is so nice, I’m going to have to save it for good,” she said with an awkward smile and a forced chuckle. I think I was about 9 years old when I first suspected that telling me my [...]
When Dick (aka Tech Support) registered Raw Drip for me he also created a Google Analytics account so I can see some basic web stats, mainly who’s visiting, how long they’re staying on my site, and what kinds of keywords they’re using to find me. Honestly, I don’t really use or understand most of the features. I just love [...]
I’m guessing it might be taboo to discuss one’s gynecological issues in a blog, so my apologies in advance. I suppose if you’re a male reading this post, you probably saw the word “ovary” in the title and moved onto the ESPN website. I don’t blame you, really. Believe it or not, we women don’t [...]
Raw Drip is one woman's raw, wry, fresh, and cheeky take on parenting, relationships, life, and other important stuff. I started writing Raw Drip because my friends are scattered all over the place and as a working mother with two toddlers I have no time to talk to them on the phone, meet them for a cup of coffee - or bathe regularly. Instead, I sit my stinky solo self down at my computer and write about all the things I used to talk with them about - and then I share it all with you - my fan base, my readership, my loyal drips.
Some of you have asked about the site name, Raw Drip, what does it mean? The name was inspired by the freshly perked cup of coffee I was drinking when I decided to start writing. I guess people see the word "raw" and just assume that the name has something to do with porn. It doesn't. I also don't write about: raw meat storage, raw food dieting, photos of people in the raw, or an obscure Japanese band named Raw Drip.
So dudes, if you've inadvertently stumbled upon my site while surfing for porn, my apologies. Unfortunately for you, you've landed in a place that's all chick-chat, with occasional penis references thrown in just for fun. At Raw Drip, the truth is harsh. But if you're man enough to handle it, keep reading. If not, move it along...
There. Are we all clear now? No porn here.
Happy Reading!
