A “Pee-You” In The Pew
Several years ago, I was hired by a local hotel to work the night shift. I have always been a “night person” so I thought this job would work out great. It was sort of weird going to bed at 8 am when my shift ended but my body would usually allow me to sleep…

Please Leave A Message After The Tone
I’m a bit old fashioned, I suppose, so when I moved to the big city I wanted a land line telephone. Don and I both have cell phones but the new cable/internet provider we chose to use offered us a plan that included a land line with unlimited long distance. We don’t use it all…

“HE’s” Demands Have Been Met….We Hope
I am happy to report that the rash on my ankles has improved tremendously since I dug down to the bottom of my sock drawer and found some socks to wear that were washed back when we had the washing machine that actually used water to rinse the soap out. Don purchased a ziploc bag…

My Attention To Detail Is A Thing Of The Past
I’m beginning to believe gadgets and my age are a lethal combination! A few months ago I got a new cell phone. I drug my feet just a bit as my old one was still working just fine and we got along really well. Getting a new one would mean I would have to learn…

The “High Efficiency” Code
The old washing machine that had been washing clothes for nearly 18 years finally decided it could wash no more and has since been replaced by a brand new, “High Efficiency” washer that apparently requires less water and soap to get our clothes cleaner. I try to be as open minded as I can but…

The “Cheeseburger” Payment Option

“New & Improved”
As I was getting ready for work this morning I got to thinking about the maskera I had recently purchased. I remember scanning at least 8 or 10 different ones before I made my selection and what I determined is that all of them are basically designed to do the very same thing. The packaging…

The BAR-ber Shoppe Is Open!
Sunday night Don showered and then asked if I would give him a haircut. I obliged and before I was finished our neighbor stopped in. He could see I was doing a pretty impressive job on Don’s hair so he said something about me cutting his hair next. I told him I would and could…

Monday Hates Me
My existence was much less hectic today. Yesterday had several flaws. It started bad and ended weird and all I can say is Monday hates me. Due to the fact that it was the anniversary date of my dad’s death, it got off to a somewhat emotional start. Once Don headed off to work I…

The Mint Green Surprise
Don’s work schedule can get a bit hectic at times and it’s not uncommon for him to be gone several nights a week. He gets sort of used to living out of a suitcase but packing it is always a chore and he appreciates anything I’m willing to do to help. Time away was scheduled,…
