241: Haunted Airports in Hawaii
Kaua'i, Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places on earth to live. The island embraces you with a feeling of love and there is a pulsating spiritual energy that covers the island.
I was fortunate to live and work on the island for 5 years. I can recall several instances where I encountered ghosts when traveling around the island. I saw Hawaii
242: Have They Got Your Number
Life is a numbers game. Gas prices always end with nine-tenths of a cent. I want the U.S. Mint to make a one-tenth cent coin so I don't have to overpay for gas I'm already overpaying for.
7-Eleven stores started appearing across the country in the 1950's. By being open from 7 am until 11 pm, they put convenience in convenience shopping - so mu
243: Have You Been Nailed
Pink Gin, Pale Punk Pink, In the Pink - I think naming nail polishes would be a delightfully colorful job - until my boss thought I was having too much fun and suggested I name a polish Pink Slip Pink.
When someone names a polish Miraculous Mauve, I might be able to polish my nails without also polishing my fingertips. Until then, I'll happily
244: Have You Burned Any Travelogs
My grandmother called them "Gullibles Travels". These were trips Americans took to other countries before they saw America. She wanted Americans to see the treasures in their own backyards.
When I lived outside New York City, the United Nations, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island were treasures. Now I live in Los Angeles; and the treasures
245: Have You Developed Personally
Learning to walk before you run is what personal development is all about. As a child, I learned how to ride a bike with training wheels. Supposedly you never forget how to ride a bicycle. When I've occasionally ridden one as an adult, I've wobbled a lot before being convinced that was true. However, you do forget how uncomfortable the seat is.
246: Have You Exercised The Option To Exercise
By the time I've worked up enthusiasm about going to the gym, I already feel overworked. Then I have to decide what to wear. Guys can look grungy. Girls have to look fashionable. Unfortunately, my outfits are often more coordinated than I am.
However, I can talk the talk - sets, repetitions, abs, biceps, triceps - and I'm getting better at walki
247: Have You Found A Penny Recently
If finding a penny is lucky, I must be luckier. I found a quarter and was lucky all day - especially when I didn't hurt my back bending over to pick it up. Traffic lights turned green for me, parking spaces appeared where I wanted them and the police car with the blaring siren that was quickly approaching me on the freeway sped past me.
If it h
248: Have You Heard My New Word
How often have you used the word "unbelievable"? Unbelievable can be used to describe a football play, the price of something, a sunset - just about anything.
But the play, the price and the sunset are real. They're something you've experienced and thus have to be believable. Not to worry. I've invented a word for these kinds of situations.
249: Have You Heard White Whisper And Read Roar
Colors talk, but you have to listen very carefully.
The most important thing Black says is you're not in the red. It also says tuxedo and mourning. It still says priest, but to street-clothes-wearing nuns Black says nunsense.
For most people Blue brags about eyes and sky and ocean. For others, like me, Blue bemoans sadness. Blue made me blu
250: Have You Played Suburban Slot Machines
Ask people what they do when they go to Las Vegas and they'll say they play slot machines. I play slot machines too, but not only in Las Vegas. There are legal slot machines where I live.
Because all free parking spaces seem to be taken by fire hydrants, I learned how to play suburban slot machines, also known as parking meters.
I remember
251: Here s To Your Health
Health is something we take for granted - like air and water. Air and water, however, are becoming more and more polluted. There's a message there.
I remember when the message was that our body was our temple. It still is, but we go to McDonald's and Ben & Jerry's more than we go to temples.
Being well depends on five things: genetics, diet,
252: How Changeable Is Change
A strange thing about change is that it doesn't always cause change. The cost of gas, for instance, keeps going up; but people keep driving gas guzzling vehicles. It's as if they think gas grows in barrels; and as long as the barrels keep rolling, they can barrel on.
Let sleeping dogs lie - go with the flow - these sayings explain why television
253: How Clean Is Clean
Housework is like raising kids - it's never done. Take dusting - please. Supposedly you're meant to dust after you vacuum because vacuuming causes more dust. Living causes dust.
I can see dust falling while I'm trying to wipe it away. Over the years I've replaced our dark furniture with light-colored furniture trying to camouflage the dust; but
254: How Do You Know When You re Middle Age
I'm going to put an ad in the LA Times LOST & FOUND column to find out where 2006 went. I don't know. I don't know when years started to have only eight months.It must have been when hours started to have only forty minutes. What I do know is that all of us will have something in common in 2007, no matter how fast the year passes. We will all be a
255: How Do You Look To Others
My looks aren't mine. I could tell you I look like Jacquelyn Smith with blond hair or Diane Sawyer with short hair or Jamie Lee Curtis with better movie choices, but my looks depend on how others see me.
Technically, I look like the combination of my mother's egg and my father's sperm; but because they didn't look like Janet Leigh and Tony Curt
