Little Things

Yesterday, i had to use two carts to take my stuff two the car. it took quite a while. A couple of women walked by and said, " Can I help you?" I replied, "Could you take these carts back?" They said yes. They certainly made my day. Today, my shoe has come untied again. There was a grocery clerk... Sign in to see full entry.

Superheroes are usually in disguise of some bumbling idiot from Kansas. Heroes often are too. What makes a hero is in the heart not in the education or appearance. Someone called Lincoln literate. I thought of the irony of it. He never went to much formal education. His dress was quite countrified... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't even know my son's address.

I know how to get there, but not how to send a letter. So I can only give the inquirers either his telephone number or his e-mail address. Sign in to see full entry.

Loud or Stiff Upper Lip

When I was a teenager, I saw a movie with Sophia Loren. In it her character gets into an argument with her new husband and when he tells her to calm down, she says, "Of course I get mad, I'm Italian." I loved that line. In my very non expressive family, I was the one who laughed loudest, yelled and... Sign in to see full entry.

After 9/11 Airports

Flying is still a luxury for most. But you'd never know it by the way you are treated. Riding on a bus is more comfortable. We are packed in like sardines. I had better start watching my weight or I'll have to buy an extra ticket. All airlines attendent do is serve beverages. Going to the bathroom... Sign in to see full entry.

Tangled threads

When i was growing up, my mother had a basket of embroidery floss that was impossibly tangled. I like to organize such things so I began to sort out the threads and make them into little skeins. Now I do beading. I have several jars of mixed beads. So in order to do a project, I need to go through... Sign in to see full entry.

Different reasons

My daughter Kelly and I are both interested in Jewish culture and Judaism. She because she is interested in the Old Testament and the book of Hebrews in the NT. I because I had a crush on a Jewish boy. So I learned how to cook Jewish food, took Hebrew and listened to Jewish dance songs. Kristina is... Sign in to see full entry.

I am one of those fat people.

I am five foot eight and weigh 215 lbs. The scale keeps moving up also. I have graduated from regular sizes to plus sizes. The worse thing about it is that I keep gaining. I really shouldn't gain weight. My brain should tell me when I'm full and I should stop eating, but it doesn't. My theory is... Sign in to see full entry.

Fat People

Most Americans are overweight. Most fat people are ridiculed. Why? We see ourselves as being like them and want to ignore the warning, so we get made at those who are fatter than we are. I don't know why Americans are fat. Our bodies have a regulator that tells us when we are full. It is hard to eat... Sign in to see full entry.

Energy

Successful people generally have a lot of energy. They can go with five or six hours of sleep and go non stop all day. There are exceptions, but they only prove the rule. When I noticed that, I stopped expecting myself to be a huge success. I wonder if every child imagines themselves become rich and... Sign in to see full entry.
