Snaky Visitor

As I finished up cutting the grass yesterday, I opened the door under my house to put away the mower and jumped when a little head popped up as the door opened.  It was a snake that quickly slithered back into a corner under the house.  What to do?
Personally I don’t like snakes and am [...]


Dancing Disco In The Father/Daughter Dance

Last year it was salsa, if you can call what we did salsa.  This year at my daughter’s dance studio, we flashed back to the 1970s and disco.  Now I remember the rage the was Saturday Night Fever, but I know as a teenager I never danced disco.  I guess I kept that record in [...]


How To Unpeel A Banana

When going to an 8th grade graduation, you plan on seeing some nice moments, including a speech or two and the actual ceremony of handing out the diplomas. At least that’s what I was expecting yesterday, little did I know that bananas would be involved.
The middle school social studies teacher talked about how the students [...]


Grubs and Lightning

The bolt in the sky cast a yellowish hue around the clouds.  It was dusk and looking west, the sky was showing off with bolts of lightning every minute.  I thought of running inside and getting a camera, but it was almost dark and no picture could capture the true look of this lightning.
My only wish [...]


Junk Mail or Not

Our mailbox was full yesterday and the day before.  We have an average sized mailbox, so it takes a decent amount of mail to fill it up.  The mail came from all different law firms.  They knew something about my family that I didn’t tell them, they found out on their own, all of them.  [...]


“Noseicles” & A Cold Movie

It’s now June and summer weather is here.  We rented a movie this past weekend and I recommend it, mainly because by watching it, it can’t help but cool you down.
The movie is “New In Town” and it is a typical romantic comedy.  The movie was fine, but when and where it was shot was [...]


I Can Make It Rain, Kind Of.

I waited and waited for some rain yesterday; as I did, my newly planted deck garden needed some water, so did my yard.  I have waited patiently since the weekend to get some rain at my house.  As I have done this, I watched my grass stress.  If it could talk it would have begged [...]


Just Shred It; But What Is, It?

Three trucks in Durham helped shred folks’ documents last Saturday.  Our station sponsored its Shred-It event.  I got to meet a lot of nice people who brought in boxes and bags of documents.  
I define documents as bank statements, medical forms, etc.  The trend here is it’s paper.   Well, every time we do this we get other [...]


Inhaling Chocolate

I have been eating a lot of chocolate lately, thanks to the Easter Bunny.  I enjoy both milk and dark chocolate.  The problem with chocolate is it is dense in calories.   Therefore, moderation is the key.  What if you could enjoy chocolate without any calories?
I read about a scientist that is trying to develop a [...]


Remodeling The Entertainment Center

When I bought my big screen television last weekend, my old entertainment center became obsolete.  It couldn’t fit the 46″ tv in its cubby. 
With the advent of large screen televisions; I know that my old amoire style entertainment center is not in demand, plus it is heavier than….
Therefore, I have decided not to sell it, I [...]
