Patience Please
Friday afternoon had finally arrived. I was eagerly anticipating the weekend but had a number of things to accomplish if I was to enjoy it- most of which required internet access. When I clicked on my browser, that dreaded message appeared: “Internet Explorer cannot display this page....
Controlling Self-Control
I’d never encountered anything like it before and hoped I wouldn’t again.
While visiting a friend who lived on a farm, I suddenly ran into something that refused to let me go. Had it been a rogue hog, angry bull, or cantankerous rooster, I would have...
A Penny Saved…
“A penny saved is a penny earned.” Or “Save some for a rainy day.” Sayings I was taught growing up. And sure enough the rain fell…sometimes by the bucketfulls. And as warned I was unprepared. My philosophy was more in line with another quip: “That money is...

A quick squat to refill our dog’s water bowl resulted in extreme pain and muscle spasms. When both...

“The job only pays 15….” Her voice trailed off. At the moment, I was unemployed and despondent, so $15 sounded enticing. Trouble was, my excitement had clouded the remainder of her statement. When I showed up for the final interview, I discovered the pay was $15 (thousand)...
