  • Please keep the cat pictures!

    Another one of those a’ha moments yesterday…did we decide that someone before Oprah called them a’ha moments?  Anyway, falling into the wow things have changed category.  I was messaging with the girls yesterday about what to do with some wedding photos that are no longer, shall we say, relevant.  Photos to me are hard copy… Read more

  • I was in the bank yesterday and heard some older guy discussing with the teller (Oh man..I hope that isn’t 90’s political correctness) about the condition of the roads and the fact that he thinks he would rather be sliding around on snow and ice than mud.  I totally agree.  It is this time of… Read more

  • Sometimes “euphemism” crap just happens

    I think one of the things our reliance on the christian religion has done is given us a “reason” for everything…well, it’s God’s will.  In my spiritual journey, I’ve decided that is why some people rely on their religion for day to day disappointments….and I recoil when I hear those words.  I remember the days… Read more

  • Disappointment

    Is disappointment just the failure of our expectations….and if we cease to have expectations…would we cease to have disappointment. If we expect someone (friend, family, preacher, teacher) to act in a certain manner…and they respond differently than expected…especially if this expectation doesn’t meet your needs, is this your issue or their issue? I don’t think… Read more

  • The Oprah generation

    I can plug my adult years into several categories…my categories may seem “simple minded” to some…your categories are your categories…it defines how you got to be where you are today..  If you are inclined to be defensive about labels, use a different word that will make it okay.   I think the pidgeon hole maturation… Read more

Here are the top five regrets of the dying, as witnessed by Ware: 1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of… Read more

  • Jenny gave him her bluetooth headset when we were in KC the last time.  Quite frankly, I was really surprised that he had talked to her about it because he usually waits until I whine and say I want something before he gets in the buying mood.  Once I saw how easy it was to… Read more

  • He and Dave got their mother situated at Careage of Newton yesterday.  Apparently it went fine.  Her most telling comment was something about her getting moved around a lot.  She may take to the nursing home quite well … as it is a permanent, soft place to fall and she loves to talk so she… Read more

  • I had 10,106 footprints from California yesterday.  I am in the thinking process of closing this account and going somewhere else.  I hate to do it…it will depend on the response from Xanga people.  Anyone else experience this? Read more

  • This kind of surprises me

    Today’s Highlight in History: On Feb. 7, 1943, during World War II, the government abruptly announced that rationing of shoes made with leather would go into effect in two days, limiting consumers to buying three pairs per person per year. (Rationing was lifted in October 1945.) First…it surprises me that I had never heard of… Read more
