Mama’s Ways

There’s a photo on the web of a couple kids in a big tee shirt, which is marked “Our get-along shirt.” Apparently some genius mom decided they’d become Siamese twins until they either settled their nit-picking, cantankerous dispute or got so tired of being ‘joined at the hip’ they’d declare a truce....

How About That!

Late October my printer gave up and quit. I'd had it for 3 or 4 years, it had a good life. But it was inconvenient timing. I was just getting ready to print out the "After All" text for my sis's birthday. However, I saved it to a flash drive, took it to Office Max and got copies made much more...

A Little Help From My Friends...

I'll get by with a little help from my friends, I can fly with a little help from my friends, etc... It was top of the charts once. Classic Beatles. (Nobody writes like that any more.)There was also a much earlier one: "Friendship" that was the theme song for a TV show, "My Friend Irma."

It’s Not About You (or is it?)

This is my second attempt to create a blog this a.m., and I’ve gone outside Blogit’s neat little cubicle to compose it, because the first attempt got snagged by a careless keystroke. I hate when that happens. So I’ve been working on the Write Your Own Story workbook, trying to get it organized by... Sign in to see full entry.

Damn it! The Black Hole of Blogit swallowed my post. And it was good!

Wednesday: Hinge of the week

Peg has been a bright spot in the Write Your Own Story group - Reiki (sp?) master, a retired audiologist/speech pathologist - highly skilled at pattern change and reinforcement for special needs students, stroke victims, etc. She was the organizer of the Wild Women of the Woods retreat I wrote...

Things Kids Say

I always liked Art Linkletter's radio show - and maybe it got to TV as well - "Kids Say the Darndest Things." I think it was a precursor to YouTube and all those cute videos of laughing babies, puppies and other baby animals. In our family, the "dictionary" of our communication was forever changed...

Brrrr

Coldest Nov. 18 on record was 14 degrees F. - set in 1932. According to the weather man on Ch. 4, the temp's going to go down a degree or so before sunup, and it's 14 right now. Looks like this morning will break the record. Factor in the wind and it feels like -1 out there. Now this may be a warm... Sign in to see full entry.

Dreams, clips from another dimension...

Went to the mountains last night, walking up a side trail with my sister - not the one of flesh and blood, but one from that other dimension. She was carrying her baby, heading for this town or business complex in a high valley where they'd offered her a job. Apparently I was to mind the baby while... Sign in to see full entry.

Bad Pun Monday
