Fish Pedicures

Tuesday, May 28th, 2013

First posted March 10, 2009 Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?  How on earth can you give a fish a pedicure?  Since you have to have toes in order to have a pedicure, that means no pedicures for anything living in your aquarium.  Now if the owner of the fish (or any other pet) wants a fish […]

Tied to My Strings

Monday, May 27th, 2013

First posted February 28, 2009 My apron strings that is.  I’ve decided that I need some.  My mother many times told me, “I can dress you up, but I can’t take you out.”  What does this mean, you ask?  It means that she would get me dressed up to go out and by the time […]

Hey, Mom! Can I Be a Beatnik?

Sunday, May 26th, 2013

First posted October 30, 2008 I remember the Beat Generation.  I wanted to be part of it.  I wanted to be beat.  Ouch!  Not like that.  Like the cool kind of beat.  I was only in junior high, but I worked hard at it, wishing I were older so I could be a real beatnik.  Looking back, […]

First posted October 9, 2008 That’s the Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle.  It’s home to flying fish and the Fish Philosophy.  Do you enjoy your job?  Do you really have fun at work?  The fishmongers at Pike Place do.  Check out their web cam and watch them at work.  They and their customers are having […]

In the Belly of the Beast

Friday, May 24th, 2013

First posted September 4, 2008 That is where our travels today will take us.  The beast is a cruise ship.  I’m sure many of you have taken cruises and are aware of all the food available.  It’s everywhere you look, day and night.  You don’t even have to leave your cabin.  But there’s a secret […]

Bette’s The Best

Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013

First posted August 5, 2008 That’s my aunt, Bette Killion.  She’s the best aunt a person could want.  Please don’t tell the whole world, but she’s always been my favorite.  Aunt Bette’s house was a magical place to be.  For one thing my favorite cousin, along with her brothers and sisters lived there.  I lived out […]

Crawling Through St. Croix

Monday, May 20th, 2013

First posted July 24, 2008 I didn’t really crawl there.  That just sounded like a cool title.  A lot of cruise ships stop at St. Thomas, USVI, but as much as I liked St. Thomas, St. Croix had more of a draw for me.  I guess maybe that was because it didn’t have as much […]

It’s a Jungle Out There!

Sunday, May 19th, 2013

First posted July 17, 2008 I suppose by now you’ve figured out that my mind can travel down some paths not frequently traveled. While in Walgreen’s last week something caught my eye as I was passing the cosmetic counter.  I had to turn around and go back and get a better look.  I really just […]

I Don’t Hate Home Depot Anymore

Saturday, May 18th, 2013

First posted July 11, 2008 Hate is actually too strong a word to use for the feelings I’ve had towards Home Depot, but I’ve had no reason to not have an active dislike for them.  The attitude at Home Depot should be that of wanting to assist the customer by providing expertise and knowledge of what […]
