I was waiting to check out at a store the other day. The woman in front of me was talking on her cell phone. From her side of the conversation, it was obvious that it was just a friendly chat. Certainly nothing that couldn’t have waited till she was finished with her transaction. But instead, she [...]
“Blackened chicken” earns it name. Even though it’s delicious, you might want to think twice about cooking it for company. And take the batteries out of the smoke alarm first.
I have long been a fan of word puzzles. I do a lot of crosswords, enjoy Scrabble, and love to beat my sister at Boggle. Heck, I’m even learning to enjoy losing to her. When Sudoku became popular, I looked at those boxes of numbers and cringed.
My husband, however, loved them. I figured it was because [...]
The Vicks Vaporub did not do the trick.
Neither did a hefty dose of ant spray on the wire and the tree where the ants have their pre-dinner gathering.
The ant exterminator is coming to treat the house tomorrow. I’ll have him treat around the tree, too. We’ll see if a pro can handle these critters.
Would you believe that the air conditioning is still out? The manufacturer reshipped the part, and it arrived Friday. Broken again. They’re blaming the shipping company. I think they need to take a look at their packaging. The new plan is to ship the part on one of their own trucks, because apparently they will care [...]

I always assumed that these perks were due to other people’s reactions to them.
Apparently, though, even inanimate objects can recognize beauty and respond to it.
My husband’s office has a keyless entry [...]
Remember how our air conditioning was out last week? The tech told me that the part would take about 3 days to come in. That was last Monday. I hadn’t heard by Friday, so I called the office and was told it should be in early next (now “this”) week. No word again, so I called back this [...]
Ironically enough, I am more than a month late in replying to this tag from my friend Annie.
I am supposed to share my secret to productivity.
Well, the secret is that I’m most productive when I don’t turn on the computer. When I do, “just to check my email, really” I invariably end up surfing a [...]
That’s what the University of Louisville baseball fans were cheering yesterday.
The Cardinals had an 0-1 record in post-season play prior to this year. Last weekend, our unranked boys staged an upset by winning their four team regional playoff out of the losers’ bracket. Yesterday they clobbered Oklahoma State in the third and deciding game of their super-regional, and now our boys are [...]
