- I was thinking about begonias the other day. To most people that would be an odd thing to hear from someone. But, begonias were a big part of my life for a while. My mom's final change to her dream house a new driveway that curved from the...
- I always wanted a sandbox when I was kid. The idea of having a big pile of sand in my back yard seemed to be the greatest thing in the world. I could build forts and castles in it, make a race track for my cars, make mountains to use with my army...
- I've noticed in the passed year or so that my head gets cold in the winter. Up until then, I seldom wore any head covering unless it was freezing or bad weather. It seems my tolerance for cold is less. Now, I wear a hooded sweat shirt to take Kit...
- I managed a truck stop restaurant about 30 miles east of Dallas for a while. It was a real eye-opening experience. We served the standard fare with some homecookin' thrown in. I was the home cooker making various soups, liver and onions, chili,...
- The best memory of my last job(a call center) involved a big bill. The center dealt with the customers of a large mobile phone company. Although in Texas, we took calls from the northeast part of the country. We helped people with their bills,...
- While I was graveyard manager of Sambo's in my home town, my manager decided I wasn't needed. He figured a head waitress, a couple of other waitresses, a cook, and a dish washer could handle the drunks that came in after the nightclubs closed. So,...
- I use latex gloves to battle the eczema on my hands. I put my prescription cream on, then put a latex glove on for about an hour. Depending on how bad it is, its gone in 2-3 days. My problem is finding latex gloves. It seems vinyl is taking...
- When I was a radio news director/reporter, there were two stories that came up every year on radio and t.v.. Christmas had a report on the cost of the twelve days of Christmas, adding up what the items would cost. The second story was the cost of...
- When I was in my early 40s, I moved to Little Rock, Arkansas to be an assistant manager with Kinko's Copies. Before I could report for work I got a heart problem and had angioplasty on two arteries. The doctor put me on an all liquid diet called...
- My local cable company has made it harder to get a technician to come to a home. If your cable box goes out, you have to go to their business and pick it up. Techs won't come to your house to install it. Well, I have a DVD-VHS player too. I've...
- We have a dear friend and member. OldManBear has passed away. I'll post any details I can find. His humor, memories, and ideas will be missed. Rest in Peace and God Bless You. It was a privllege knowing you.
- What was your family's favorite brand of syrup when you were growing up. What is you favorite now?
- Did your family use pitchers for syrup and/or honey when you were a child? Do you use them now?
- This, that, and chicken fat. This phrase came to mind Sunday as I was putting together my meal. It's one used by the star of a local t.v. kids' show. There was no recipe. No list of ingredients. No thought to how to prepare it. I knew I wanted...
- My earliest memories of breakfast were of a fried, basted egg with overcooked edges, a slice of bacon or sausage patty, broiler toast, a glass of orange juice, and a glass of milk. Mom never turned the eggs over. You might be asking what broiler...
