I’m in a Maxine Mood


I slept on a feather pillow last night and woke up in a foul mood this morning. Mama always told me if you don’t have something good to say, don’t say anything. So maybe I shouldn’t even talk to anyone today. I don’t like talking anyway, so that should be easy. Providing no one decides [...]

Beware: Falling Dishes


I opened the door on my kitchen cabinet the other day to get a coffee cup, and I immediately found myself being  beaten about the face and head by falling dishes.  I ran from the kitchen dodging plates, cups, glasses and a few other things that I never knew belonged in a kitchen cabinet in [...]

How Can I Say No


Hey, wake up and smell the coffee. It’s Monday. Again. Already.  Today’s post will be short because for one thing, I’m still asleep. I didn’t get all my  Zs in last night because we had an overnight guest. Well, really it was family. Our unexpected guest was my great-grandpuppy, as in a puppy that my granddaughter [...]

A Few of My Favorite Things


This is the way I like to spend my day. First of all I like to do this: then a little more of this. Then I like to watch my honey do this: And it begins to look like this: And while the food does this: We like to play with this: (Sheba) And this: [...]

A Fabulous Day In My Neighborhood


Today, March 27, 2010 is turning out to be a totally fabulous day! First of all I was awakened  by the sound of Wayne mowing  our  lawn.  Which means that Spring is 100% officially here — I hope.  If you would like to hear the sounds of Wayne mowing, you might want to go back [...]

Nervous Chatter


It seems that everything we buy these days is sealed in childproof wrapping? Why do the manufactures feel the need to shrink wrap everything with an indestructible material? Each time we attempt to open something we’ve purchased, we’re forced to go next-door and borrow the neighbor’s chain saw and blow torch to get the plastic [...]

Bombs Away


So, it looks like another Civil War could be brewing. 14 states have already filed lawsuits against the White House calling the  recently signed health care reform bill unconstitutional and claiming that the sweeping reforms violate state-government rights. The lawsuit states that the bill violates the Constitution’s commerce clause by requiring nearly all Americans to buy health [...]

Lying for a Living


Someone once referred to writing humor as “lying for a living”. While humor writers don’t actually lie outright, we do often stretch the truth until it resembles the worn-out elastic waistband on a pair of old bloomers. Actually being a humor writer is like having a chronic illness. You can treat the symptoms, but the [...]

Way-back Tuesday


Do any of you remember how back in March of 2007, the news reported on the trial of country singer-songwriter, Willie “On The Road Again” Nelson and his sidekicks Poncho and Lefty…no wait a minute, it was his tour manager David Anderson and his sister Bobbie Nelson…anyway, they were spared jail time in a court [...]

Shut! Up! No, Seriously, Shut-up!


Why do people have such a burning need to talk? Why do they feel the desire to assault my ears, especially early in the morning, and when each phrase is followed by a question mark? Worse than that, they always expect a reply. They force me to talk, even though they ignore my answers, which [...]
