At the high school where several of my grandchildren attend, the Principal is hell bent on having good attendance amongst the students, even if he has to throw them out of school to do it. Numbers seem to be the goal. 5% absentee rates or less are the goal. But, do you throw out a…
In some stores locally here, even seniors are being carded when they are buying cigarettes. It’s gone from the ridiculous to the sublime. Most of these folks I see getting carded look their age – gray hair and all. This is a perfect example of taking a strategy (carding for age when buying cigarettes) to…
The GEICO commercial where the mother calls the son in the middle of life threatening circumstances – if you’re a mother, you always call at the wrong time…….. is absolutely hysterical. I laugh every time I see it. Whoever thought this one up deserves to be my #6 husband!
My poor daughter (and she is very poor) receives assistance from the state, because she has nine children and no husband and a severe medical problem. You would not believe the hoops she has to go through to update these programs. As her teenagers turn 18, what she and the children receives is severely affected….
Today, my granddaughter, Kayla, and I went to a new restaurant that has opened in our little town. I asked our waitress who the new owner was, and she told me a story about Terri, who has worked in the restaurant field since she was 16. This venture was her dream. The building has housed…
Someone struck my vehicle the other morning, knocking off my driver’s side mirror. The local police made a record of the accident and told me to call my insurance company and have them get a copy of the police report. I did this, only to be told, “We don’t handle this. You have to get…
Does anyone else have a printer that requires you to replace all the inks (color and black) at one time? The odd part is that the printer will tell you that you are out of Blue ink. Once the Blue ink is replaced, it will then tell you that your Black ink needs to be…
I don’t know about you, but I really don’t have 20 minutes in my day to sit on hold for a Staples sales clerk. This blog isn’t about phone manners, though it should be. It’s about conducting business in a normal, rational way. It used to be only MVA we had to worry about with…
I don’t know about you, but watching television on a Sunday night is becoming a nightmare for me. I like CBS’s lineup on Sunday night: 60 Minutes, Madam Secretary, and The Good Wife. These shows recently have been pre-empted due to some dumb special, started late due to football, or have just been replaced at…
I always thought a bank had to honor the cashing of a check if it was drawn on an account within that bank. I guess they still do, but some in my hometown are charging fees to the people I wrote the check out to if they don’t have an account at that bank. I…
New dictionary description of Murphy’s Law: Drove 300 miles to see an old friend the day after we spoke on the phone and set up a time I would be there, and she forgot about me. She went to Bingo instead. My granddaughter couldn’t use my car to go to work (hers was out of…
It’s about time. Federal laws and some local laws are changing to reflect the horrors that some poor animals have to endure, and are giving the perpetrators good, long, hard time! If a person could hurt a little innocent animal, he/she belongs in jail for a very long time, lest they be doing the same…
