First Grade Test Trouble

A first-grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. The teacher asked, "Harry what is your problem?" Harry answered, "I'm too smart for the first-grade. My sister is in the third-grade and I'm smarter than she is! I think I should be in the third-grade too!" The teacher had enough.... Sign in to see full entry.

Fearlessness Without Trust? No Way!

I recently decided that I want my epitaph to be "She had a fearless heart." I decided this after hearing Steve Earle’s comments to an audience on one of his cd’s. He said that you can either get through life or live it and if you were going to live it, you only needed two things - an inquisitive... Sign in to see full entry.

A New Emotion Learned - Loneliness

I just finished listening to Leo Kottke playing his rendition of "Wonderland by Night" and it brought me to tears. I felt like my heart was going to break. I have absolutely no specific memories attached to that song, although I have always thought it is beautiful; and I haven't even heard it in... Sign in to see full entry.

A Little Lake House Blues

I'm missin' my lake house...a lot. It's my sanctuary...the place I'm getting myself back together in. I've been slowly tryin' to dig back to the person I was when I left Texas so many years ago....and I do most of my work at that when I'm there. I spend six to eight weeks there, living alone; then I... Sign in to see full entry.

Making a Chinese Bowl

I often say that I wasn't fortunate enough to get the big book at birth; that book so many people got, the one with all the answers. It seems to have been handed out to so many but I went home empty handed. Perhaps my parents didn't want me to have one because they wanted me to have all their... Sign in to see full entry.

Magic of the Music

I’m on a trip right now and I am so filled with emotion I can barely contain it inside my body. I do that.....get so filled with things that they seem like they’re stretching my skin out, out and out....picture an emotional balloon. I have often thought that people who go wild and do crazy things... Sign in to see full entry.

How To Not Be Unhappy (IMHO)

My husband has no idea how not to be an unhappy person. It completely eludes him. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that he is never happy. He has moments when he laughs, a lot of them; he can laugh pretty hard occasionally. There have been several times over many years that I have actually seen a... Sign in to see full entry.

My Dear Daddy

Strat's beautifully written and heartfelt post about his struggle with smoking really caught me off guard. I guess I thought my scar was better healed, but here I sit sobbing and I have to talk about it. It was his comments about his dad that did it. The tears kind of gathered earlier today when I...

My Ex-Lax Story

This is a true story....nothing has been changed to protect the innocent. I was the innocent; until this incident I was innocent of how constipation worked and what the products associated with it could do to my body. But I am getting ahead of the story. I just wanted you to know that the content of... Sign in to see full entry.

Brainwashed Texan

I've been slowly sinking back into Texas. After living away for 30+ years I'm coming back home....always knew I would.....had to. I've loved living in this other place and will always come to visit. I can pretty much settle in and make a home wherever you stick me. But when you are born in Texas,... Sign in to see full entry.
