  • Bullseye On My Back???

    Ever notice how so many TV commercials make men out to be helpless half-wits? I’m starting to think WIMMIN are believin’ that stuff. Deb hates to do the grocery shopping. She’s a browser. I’m not. I have it down to a science. Takes me less than an hour to get a $200 order – &…

  • Why Do They Charge More For

    Deb had her hair done today…. (Looks fabulous hon – really) but, I don’t get the whole cost thing. Understand, I’m not complaining. She didn’t buy “hair products” this time. Hint: Good ol’ shampoo & conditioner is usually what – $6 or $8? Hair “products” are apparently up there in car payment range – so…

  • My Therapy

    My daytime career is fun, demanding, self-satisfying, stressful, hilarious, aggravating, plenty of freedom, tightly scheduled, big bucks, tough budgets, way up, way down, spectacular, frustrating. It’s a roller-coaster & I’ve been on that ride for 30 years as of this month – 41 if you count the days when I worked for my dad (a…

  • Chubby Hubby

    Last week I was pulling some weeds in one of the beds & heard myself huffin’ & puffin’ – I’d only been working at it for 15 minutes. I stood & muttered aloud that “I feel like I’m in the worst shape of my whole life.” Later I started complaining that my shirts felt tighter.…

  • Newspaper Magnets

    <a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_wCXpSMlA1lQ/SCMxOpvisGI/ AAAAAAAAADg/liN-yI85JM4/s1600-h/Philly+Daily+News+001+Edited.JPG”> My oldest son Michael emailed me an article from his local paper in Pennsylvania today. I can’t convert the file to post it here. His email topic was ‘We always make the newspapers’ & below that was a picture of my grandson Jack at some newly opened play-gym of some sort. Mike…

  • The Tree Out ‘BACK’

    I haven’t posted anything since last week. My back went out Thursday night, turning to get off of one of the bar stools in the kitchen. I’ve been in agony for 4 or 5 days. Sitting in one place – to write, read, drive, etc, makes the pain almost unbearable. (I’m typing as fast as…

  • Kid Stuff

    They don’t make sliding boards like they used to. The new ones at least seem to offer a challenge. Remember the good old days? Before video games & couch potato activities. When I was a kid, if you were hangin’ out in the house, you were given chores to do. I’d sleep in my clothes…

  • Keep This In Mind

    Look at the picture closely – then read the caption. I’m not sure where I got this little tidbit, but it has to be one of my favorites. It’s been my experience that those trying to prove they’ve got it together (when they don’t), usually blow it by opening their mouths. It’s always better to…
