You know what? I’ve really got to stop watching the morning news. Seriously! Yesterday I kept switching back and forth between “The Early Show,””Good Morning America,” and the local news, listening for something, anything, which wouldn’t make me feel more depressed. Everything was like “murder, recession, economy tanking, swindles, more murder, government corruption, markets plunging, [...]

The “Godfather Hair”
Posted in Humor, tagged hair, bad haircut, bad hair day on February 25, 2009 | 7 Comments »
I wonder if men ever get bad hair cuts? And, if they even realize it if they do? I’m wondering this because I don’t recall ever in my life hearing a man say, “Oh, I look like crap! I just can’t do anything with my hair!”
Unlike women. Unlike me, particularly. At this point I’ll admit [...]
To You, Dad

February 13th was the 15th anniversary of my daddy’s death. Every year on that day, I take time to remember what a profound influence he had on my life. After my mother died when I was eight, and before he married my stepmother, we had such a special relationship. It was much like the one [...]
No Thanks, No Sale…

I’m on the national “No Call” list, and that has really helped me avoid sales calls. But, the problem with that list is that companies with whom you do any business can still contact you. The latest instance of this was the other night. The salesgirl was nice, but she made the mistake of calling [...]
The Silver Lining…

You know how they say, “Every cloud has a silver lining?” Well, I thought of this when I read a news item the other day.
Okay, I’m not a ghoul. The “cloud” part of the article was that the woman who possessed the”World’s Longest Fingernails,” and appeared in the 2006 Guinness Book of records, was [...]

I know I’m blessed in so many ways, and I never forget that, nor do I fail to thank God every single day. Having said that, we wouldn’t be human if we didn’t have a few minor grumbles now and then. Here are few of mine.
The friend who, when she was going through very difficult [...]
The Mattress and Me
Posted in Humor, tagged bed, mattress, tall bed on February 15, 2009 | 5 Comments »
It dawned on me a little while back that my mattress was twenty-six years old! It was certainly old enough to have finished college, gotten married and had several little pillows by now! Yeah, I know – disgraceful! But who sits around and dreams of buying a mattress? I think the reason I put it [...]
On Cloud Patrol…Again!

In my continuing effort to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life, I have been studying the clouds again. And it never ceases to amaze me that there are so many stories going on up there! So, in an effort to share my imagination and urge you to stretch yours, too, I’m going [...]
The Second Half of the Story…

My post yesterday described my quandary as to how to deal with the latest “neighbor attack.” If you didn’t read that, you might want to go here and read that before you go on…
After writing that post, I still felt that kind of anger like bumblebees buzzing in your stomach and resolved that I definitely [...]
