Reliable Diet Best When Feeling Down
Graveyard stew is for sick folks. We ought to know, it’s been our menu for several days. Oh, we weren’t ill, but we just didn’t feel quite right. Always slow and lazy, we have been even more so, though we did get everything done that had to be completed, and all we wanted to do, […]
Commonplace Rudeness Too Often Overlooked
“Get out of the way.” While that’s an obviously disrespectful statement, sometimes it seems manners have gone by the wayside with much of the population. Most serious aspect of it, in our naive and humble opinion, is that in many cases of impoliteness, the wrongdoer doesn’t know any better. They’ve never been taught or even […]
Flaring Tempers Best Soothed With Calm Response
Getting mad generally doesn’t do any good. Many people get upset at the slightest aggravation, and start hollering, cussing, stomping, pounding, criticizing, blaming and sometimes shaking all over with face, ears, eyes, nose and maybe the rest of their body inflamed with rage and in a temper tantrum.

One Open Gate More Important Than Runaway Horses
“Horses are out.” Seems that’s frequently heard on the telephone, from the back porch, a kitchen window watcher and worst of all in the middle of the night when the front doorbell rings. Chills run down our back as a dash is made to figure how to get the round-up completed before horse, human or […]
Pills Can Be Helpful Or Harmful
Medication is a godsend, yet it must be combined with common sense. Effects of drug use are miraculous to say the least, and not only ease suffering and pain, but cure and heal as well. It is beyond earthly comprehension how such can occur. Researchers take the credit, and it is due to their development, […]
Appreciation Needed In Blizzard Aftermath
Scooping snow is a thankless job. We were reminded of that with the recent blizzard at our place. It may not have been as bad as ones in other places, but the snow was the worst we’ve seen in a quarter of a century. We can only recall this and another of such dire caliber.
