Heaven
It's time for me to go watch my fireflies and there is a song that is on my fireflies playlist (yes, I really have one), called "If Heaven". It actually mentions the fireflies. For me, right now having those fireflies at the end of the day come along and share their beauty with me is a form of...

When Is Your Birthday??
OK, it seems somebody had a birthday on the 20th and I don't recall who that would be. I thought it was Quirky but hers is not till August 20. So, here and now I want a place to refer to when I feel totally stupid because I know it's someone's birthday and not have a clue which someone it might be....

My Brother Is A Jerk
I just talked to my brothers finacee' and I am so upset. I know his relationships are not my business but sometimes it's hard. I need to give a bit of history here before I go too far. My siblings and I were seperated when I was 16 and it remained that way until my Grandfather died in 2001. My...

I Touch People?
It's funny how 100 people can tell you something and while it's nice and so on it's never the same as that one person you really wanted the approval from. My husband was able to get online and I told him about my letter to the Editor. He asked to read it. I mentioned to him that the paper asked me...

Where Are The Fashion Police???
OK, I admit, I am not the most fashionable person in the world. My favorite clothes at the moment happen to whatever is the lightest and will stick the least to me when the temps get into the humid 90's. BUT there are certain things, I would never, EVER do. 1. I stopped at a rest area to talk to my...

Is It Idiot Man Week Or What?
I got an email from someone today. I write a column in a newspaper and they include my email along with it, so readers can contact me. Generally for me one of my greatest thrills is to hear from my readers. Not the case this time. I got an email from someone claiming to be a Veteran. IF he ever...

Everything in my life that has mattered I associate with music: First love: Our song was Keep On Loving You by REO Speedwagon 9th Grade Prom: (With the first love) Killing Me Softly by Roberta Flack...

For Sally From Alice
Offbeat's experience with Alice seems to be nagging at me. Maybe it was the year of her death, exactly 100 years before I was born, but whatever it is, I can't seem to shake her from my thoughts. Late last night this came to mind. I could not stop thinking that Alice wanted to say thank you. It's...

Everything I Never Wanted And All That I Ever Needed Part 4
OK, now that I am ready to go on with this story, here is the next installation: Anyway, after dropping the bombshell on me that he wanted to kiss me, he took me home. I'm not sure I even said goodbye as I was still in shock. I had never felt overly attrctive or desireable. i was the "Welfare kid"...

I'm a PC Redneck
Seems I am informed that the term Redneck is derogatory...well, boys and girls, I am a redneck and proud to be. Not long ago one of my soldiers and I had a conversation about that fact that we are rednecks. While neither of us know who wrote this, I like it and thought I might share it: You might be...
