Happy New Year (A request from Shadow the Lab)


A Note From The Human: Shadow wrote this column last year but he wanted me to post it to our blog for New Year’s this year.  Since he is the man of the house, I had to say yes. I just changed the date to 2010, so it would fit with the present. Happy New [...]

Is That Your New Years Resolution (or a copy of the Health Care Reform Bill)


While I’ve been engrossed in my self-pity party I almost forgot about Nanny Goats New Year’s Resolution party. Sorry. Here’s my post. Better late than never, eh? Is That Your New Years Resolution (or a copy of the Health Care Reform Bill) As we begin a new year, many of us make our lists of [...]

I HATE frikkin Lemonade


I am sitting here like Gilbert O’Sullivan  ALONE AGAIN NATURALLY!  wrapped in a blanket of sadness and heartbreak. It is wrapped around me so tightly it feels like a straight jacket. I’ve tried to take it off and toss it in the waste basket, where all my other crap has been thrown from other years, [...]

It’s A Wonderful Life (except on occasion)


Oh! Sweet Mother of Pearl, what a weekend! It started snowing here on Friday morning and by Friday evening the weight of the snow had caused tree limbs to fall across power lines, thus causing several homes in the rural section of our county to lose electric power. Yes. I live in that rural section, [...]

Putting things off  till the last minute is  a very bad habit for anyone to develop, and it’s [...]

In Trouble With the Law

Dig A Little Deeper


Erma Bombeck made it look so easy. So do Dave Barry, Patrick McManus and a host of other great humorists. But despite the ease with which they make us laugh, writing humor is tough. Humor is also subjective. What might cause one person to fall off their chair laughing might make another person groan and [...]

Rudolph Got Run Over By A Hunter


The hills are alive with the sound of gunfire. Yes, it’s that time of the year when a man’s fancy turns to Deer Hunting! Wayne is a deer-hunting nut. So are most of his buddies. They get bitten by the hunting bug around July, and by mid September, they have developed a severe case of [...]

What A Tangled Web We Weave When We (Don’t Have Batteries)


Don’t you just hate it when you’re late for an appointment and you run out the door, jump into your car, turn the key in the ignition and nothing happens. All you hear is this faint clicking sound, then you slap yourself in the forehead as you realize that you left the parking lights on [...]
