Last year when I went to a street fair, there was a business that does dog training. They advertized that you could train older dogs. I thought about our dog and thought, what a great idea. Then I realized he couldn't make it through the first day since he hates all other dogs. He would immediately... Sign in to see full entry.

My daughters graduation
My daughter's graduated from community college tonight. Their graduation speaker was a very successful businessman who didn't get his A.A. degree but went to the college and learned English. He was very funny. He came over here from his country with just enough money to buy a car to live in. When he... Sign in to see full entry.

Hypocracy
Everyone likes to make fun of hypocrites. The problem is that we are all hypocrites. No matter what our standards are, we don't keep up with them. The alcoholic in an A.A. meeting exaggerates how bad her disease was and is. To her children she only admits to drinking more than she should. The... Sign in to see full entry.

The cure from insomnia
The cure for insomnia is not reading in bed, sex, or even arguing with your spouse just before you go to sleep. The cure for insomnia is getting up, putting on your work clothes and mopping the floor on your hands and knees. If you still can't go to sleep scrub the carpet. The best time for those...

Inflated Ego
I have a picture on my bathroom wall of a kitten looking in the mirror and seeing an adult lion. Is it good to see yourself as better than you are? People who aren't depressed do. Only depressed people see themselves realistically. Sign in to see full entry.

British Humor
I went to a church service in England. The young director told a chocolate Christmas story using all the different names of chocolates in the story. It was quite funny and I laughed very loud. I was the only one laughing, those that thought it funny were smiling. At the movie theatre, everyone... Sign in to see full entry.

Whine, whine, whine.
It is so hot that I'd like to just go swimming and forget about cleaning the house. Tomorrow it will be back down to sixty and I'll freeze. I think complaining is one of our favorite pastimes. I had a professor who said that a group of students in an old dorm got along better than those in a new... Sign in to see full entry.

People who tease have to have thick skins.
When someone tease me a lot, I assume that I can tease back. The only problem is that I may not know how to tease them without hurting. I don't take what they say seriously--why should they take me seriously, but they do. I don't think I'll ever understand people. Sign in to see full entry.

Its not the heat its the humidity
I always thought that this was only half true. Arizona's 98 degrees was hot no matter how you say it. Then I came home to 70 degrees and humid and I felt just as hot. In the sun you feel the heat, but in the shade the humidity does get to you. On the other hand the air when its humid feels soft and... Sign in to see full entry.

Too much noise
I love to sing in church--but I find that church bands are annoying. There is too much sound. They have a guitar, base, piano, and keyboard all playing the same thing at the same time. Instead of having balanced parts like in a band where one or two play at once or they have complimentary parts,... Sign in to see full entry.
