AS I SEE IT

Rants on thought control

It was intended to be an innocent remark. The young boy taking my groceries to the car asked me which direction we were heading. I said, “That way,” and pointed. Then I made a comment about the lively young girls in front of us. I expected him to reply either, …

Some points to ponder (5/3/04)

Isn’t it interesting the effect some people have on us? There are those who set our teeth on edge whenever they walk into a room.

Easing her smoke-caused headache (4/26/04)

I buried Daphne up to her scrawny neck the other day. Then I poured a gallon of water on her head. I hope she lives. She looked awfully pathetic when I first met her.

Time for spring cleaning (5/10/04)

I’ve heard it said that pride goeth before a fall. I should have remembered that maxim before I bragged that I actually fixed our chipper-shredder, that marvelous machine that turns yard waste into mulch.

No invitation needed

I don’t understand people. My brother, his wife and son and our mother all came up to our house last Sunday for Mother’s Day.

TV hazardous to health (5/24/04)

Gracie, the calico cat, is no longer allowed to watch television. Apparently her favorite movie is The Godfather.

Growing a crop of frustration (6/7/04)

I planted the garden last weekend. Then I replanted the onions Wednesday and again Thursday and one more time Friday.

Is this the right sign of the moon? (6/14/04)

I should have listened to my mother.

When worrying won't do the trick (6/28/04)

“Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere.” ~Glenn TurnerI am stuck in major worry-mode this week.

The best of intentions (6/21/04)

I really did mean well. As usual, it didn’t turn out quite the way I had hoped.

Good intentions gone awry (8/9/04)

This is about chocolate cake.

Keep grumpy letters coming

I never thought I would enjoy receiving hate mail, but I do. Hate mail indicates that somebody, somewhere, not only reads my column but the words I write are irritating enough for them to respond.

Bad kitty goes to the vet

Gracie was a very bad kitty this week.

A warning given, ignored

We were wrapping pennies Sunday afternoon when we heard the ominous braap-braap-braap on the television.

Bringing back warm memories (8/23/04)

The dinosaur bones have finally been unearthed and carefully assembled.
