- Back before there were shiny white freezer boxes with plastic bags of crushed ice inside, crushed ice was sold in paper bags. Yep,,,paper bags! It was sold at the few convenience stores that were around and small grocery stores like my dad's. ...
- I was looking through the obits the other day, as people of my age are apt to do and came upon a special man. His picture gave him away. He hadn't changed much since I last saw him,,,,just a little older. He was our mailman when I was growing up....
- When I was in the 4th grade, I decided to kiss a girl,,,not my girlfriend from the 3rd grade, but another one. Now, the girl I chose to kiss was big. Big? She was big for her age. Taller than me and most of the other kids in the grade, she had...
- It didn't look like much from the street. Only that it was the top of a building made it special. The white stucco front had an Italian scene and the name painted on it, "The Italian Inn". It was on a busy, four lane thoroughfare on the east side...
- I've begun a series on elementary school in my journal. If you'd like to read them, they're open to all. Start with "School", then read EDS2. Installments will come every one or two days. Future installments will be EDS3, etc.

- Those of you who have been around me a while have heard of my aunt Molly through my Christmas writings. For those of you who haven't, Aunt Molly was my great aunt,,,my mom's aunt,,a sister of her mother. She was the only great aunt I can remember...
- I've been taken off metformin! My A1C tests have run from 6.6 to 6.3 over the last year even with my dosage being reduced from 1,000mg a day to 400 twice a day to 400 once a day. I've been very fortunate in that I found a group of foods that would...
- I know its hot just about everywhere, but a commercial on t.v. brought back a memory. There were a bunch of either light blue or dark gray and white striped mattresses and pillows being used in the late 40s and early 50s. The mattress was cotton...
- Do you remember those striped mattresses and pillows? They may have been army surplus. The mattress seemed to be cotton filled and was on top of a set of springs. The pillows were feather filled and weren't very fluffy. And in the winter wool...
- Are you watching the olympics?
- Most guys I see have pants or jean legs way too long. It looks like they bought jeans too long for their legs. I wear mine the same way, but its for a reason. Jeans in my waist size don't come short enough. I wear them low, below my bulging...
- I watched a t.v. program this morning about waste disposal. Looking at all that was thrown away by people, I wondered why. There were cardboard boxes, soft drink cans and plastic bottles, plastic milk jugs, newspapers, old appliances, etc. I...
- I've heard old men called "Old Fart" for as long as I remember, but never thought much about it. It just seemed like a joke. BUT NOW, I AM ONE! I don't know what happened. It seemed a switch was turn on when I lost my last job and now I could...
- Do you carry and use handkerchiefs? When I was growing up, it seemed every woman carried at least one and possibly two in her purse. Little girls did too. Little boys seldom did and relied on their sleeves or tissues. Handkerchiefs were not only...
