Camp Pinecliff and Camp Pine Cone

Well, kittens, some of you noticed that I missed the deadline for the last happy-happy, joy-joy edition of QSaltLake. Michael and JoSelle felt our community had gone through a lot of negativity and pain over the last month, so they wisely decided to compensate with a perky uplifting edition. At the time I was filled [...]

Driving While Canadian

Driving While Canadian

Well petals, the Arizona immigration law (SB 1070) has gone into effect and the round up of wayward Canadians can now begin. Now, I know what you’re thinking, darlings: “But Ruby, this law is just about the Mexicans.” But I beg to differ, and here’s why. Arizona’s law enforcement agencies are stuck between a rock [...]

H.G.U.W. Syndrome

H.G.U.W. Syndrome

Darlings, there is a horrible condition running rampant through the Salt Lake Valley that we need to discuss. No, I’m not talking about the resurgence of syphilis (although maybe we should … ); I’m talking about an appalling blight that seems to be spreading like wildfire among our hetero neighbors. For want of a better [...]

Go Mos!

Brace yourselves, kittens, because I’m about to do something rash. I of all people am going to give credit and recognition to the LDS Church. I know, I know, I am as surprised as you are! But here’s the deal, cupcakes: I am actually quite proud of the LDS Church for recognizing their environmental impact [...]

Go Mo’s!

Brace yourselves Kittens, I’m about to do something rash. I, of all people, am going to give credit and recognition to the Mormon church. I know, I know. I’m as surprised as you are! But, here’s the deal cupcakes … I’m actually quite proud of the church for recognizing their environmental impact and taking positive [...]

I’m Bringing Hairy Back!

Count your many blessings, cherubs. Yes, name them one by one. And leading your list of things to be infinitely grateful for should be this: Ruby’s back! No, not my actual hairy back, pumpkins, but “I am back.” Back from my hiatus, renewed, refreshed and ready to cast down my humble, world-wise opinions to you, [...]

Blue Dog Day

So there I was, petals, in all my bedraggled morning glory, when who should appear on the Channel 13 news but Utah Congressman Jim Matheson. I wasn’t fully awake and thinking straight, so a shower of toothpaste shot across the room as I yelled “You Douche Nozzle” at my TV set.

Curl Up and Diet

So darlings, the New Year’s diet has barely begun and I’m already feeling cranky (Editor’s note: Technically, Ruby, “cranky” is a baseline for you, so I think the word you’re looking for is “crankier”).

Thankful Thoughts

Cherubs, I want to start by wishing all my faithful readers, stalkers, fans and critics a heartfelt Happy Thanksgiving! I truly am thankful for all of your support and your feedback regardless of your political persuasion, body type, gender, religion, or country of origin. Although it must be said, I do appreciate those of you [...]

Ruby Hearts Dogs

Petals, many of you know I adore dogs and they are a big part of my life, so I am constantly getting calls for canine-related advice (and sadly, beauty tips for fuller-figured gals … but I digress). Most of these questions revolve around the pros and cons of specific breeds of dogs and their traits, [...]
