Who in the heck?……thinks I want or need woodworking plans. I get oodles of e-mail every day. I’ve never counted because I have too much other things to do, but I get some crazy emails. They seem to run in packs. It was Canadian medicine for several months, then it was guaranteed loans. Lately it [...]
Take cover, I’m back…..Okay, admit it now. You thought I was dead. Who am I fooling? I thought I was dead. I don’t know what I had, but I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Oh, wait a minute now. I got a flu shot at Ed’s Pharmacy. They claim it was real. And [...]
I’m getting better……. I settled in for a long winter day Monday as I watched almost the entire inauguration event. It was wonderful. Everyone behaved beautifully, even the Republicans. Of course no telling how many were meeting secretly in some 5-star restaurant, plotting ways to keep Obama from another term. Just kidding. Even Republicans know [...]
“The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” Mark Twain……Someone asked my son the other day if I were still alive and I thought of the above Mark Twain quip. However, there have been days in the past two weeks when I might have wished the above. I’ve never had back trouble before and I [...]
I declare, the older I get, the more Democratic I become. I hate to admit this as Fort Bend is such a red county in such a red state, but I just can’t stand all the silliness going on in Washington now with the Republicans leading the pack. I thought when President Obama won his [...]
My grandchildren–perfect……. This week my grandson and namesake, Carter, wrote his second column. He wrote his first column week before last. As it were, I thought he was going to be a one column flash in the pan. Perhaps he is going to be a two column flash in the pan if more people don’t [...]
Here’s one for the gifter….. My television was out all day Saturday (I hate Comcast), so from boredom I wrapped all my presents. Now you must know that I take great pride in my gift wrapping and wrap them with certain wrapping paper for certain gifts and great bows that I make myself. Of course, [...]
The search is on…..Bev’s Burner received a copy of a letter from a fan that had been sent to all board members. I would like to run it here as I totally agree with the letter writer. Dear Sir/Madam, Since 1995 to the present, there have been four superintendents of FBISD with only one, the [...]
If it’s Tuesday…….I don’t know how many new names the various public relations agencies can come up with but there is a new one this year that I think is dandy. So far we have Black Friday (signifying where stores are supposed to get into the black for the year and be profitable); Small Business [...]
Gobble, gobble…..Many of our well-to-do neighbors will spend today (Wednesday) packing their vehicles to travel out of town for the Thanksgiving holidays. The poor can’t afford to go anywhere and the rich are flying. A lot of those travelling out of town by vehicle are going to their “country place” or “weekend place.” They call [...]
