61: Do You Look Good In Pink
Because I had a business meeting today, I gave extra thought to what I wore - something conservative, but not dull - something stylish, but not extreme. After choosing a two-piece outfit with a mid-length, slightly ruffled skirt, I looked in the mirror.
"Okay", I said to the doubting voice in my head, "I'm not the "i" in fashion; but there's no
62: Do You Watch Out For What s In
Baseball cards and comic books; Betty Boop and Beanie Babies - and anything decorated with cartoon characters - what's in one day is at a garage sale the next and then on E-bay as collectibles.
Hummers were in until rising gas prices made hybrids the politically correct car. I drive a car that's almost forty years old. I don't drive it far and
63: Does Chattering Idly Sound Like Gossip
If we're honest with ourselves, we'll admit we like to hear that someone's life is more out of control than ours. It explains the popularity of soap operas and tabloid newspapers.
"Brittany Spears Look-alike Is Space Alien" or "Woman Who Shoots Leopard Has Spotted Child" or "Man Loses Four Hundred Pounds Yodeling" - am I the only one who preten
64: Does Remodeling Qualify As Housework
What do remodeling and marriage have in common? Compromise. Saying, "I do" was the beginning of saying "we" and saying we wanted to remodel our new house was the beginning of saying "why".
The remodeling of the bathrooms was meant to start today, but it's been postponed. The contractor's contract couldn't be "holier" if it had been carved on a
65: Don t You Hate Feeling Taken
Once a year we feel taken by the IRS. Last year, however, the IRS issued a consumer alert to prevent us from feeling taken by surprise. The alert warned about an e-mail scam offering $80 for participating in a customer satisfaction survey. Among other things, the survey asked for social security number, bank name and credit card information - infor
66: How To Change An Ink Cartridge
The complicated process of changing an ink cartridge is something that has baffled scientists for many years. Despite developments of so-called 'easy change' ink cartridges, removal and replacement still leave even the most dextrous of us dumbfounded.
It also leaves us covered in ink. Not just a smudge of something that adds colour to your bori
67: Is Twitter For Twits
I hear it all the time. The people on twitter are twits, twittering tales of hairballs and haircuts. Bloggers have been moaning about the noise on twitter, and predicting the date the site will close down, yet twitter remains a powerful communications force in the online world.
I think it has something to do with that thing they call API...the
68: Peanuts And Crackerjack
When I was six years old, I thought big league baseball was Little League for grown men - a game plumbers, lawyers and firemen played after work for fun. I was too young to understand about agents and contracts, but I understood fun. Fun is going to a ball game.
When the game begins I sit down. When it's over, I stand up. With the exception of
69: The Dynamics and Finer Points of Sleeping in a Yucatecan Hammock
For Gringos, hammocks are for putting up in the backyard at siesta time. Cartoons show a sleeping hammocker getting spun up into his backyard hammock. But for millions of people living in the tropics, hammocks are a way of life. And a way of rest and sleep.
In my earlier years in Veracruz we used hammocks but not nearly as much as we do on
70: The Ultimate Design For The Single Woman
You don't get to forty years of age without your fair share of disastrous relationships - and I've had more than my fair share. I'm giving the whole business a wide berth from now on. After all, what do I need a man for?
I've been of this opinion for a year now and there have been some times along the way when, as much as it pains me to say it,
71: Who Invented The Vent
Inventors start with an idea about how to do something or how to do something better. For example, staples aren't just for holding papers together anymore. Carpenters use them to hold boards together and doctors use them to hold skin together. A couple of years ago an emergency room doctor used four staples to hold a cut on my head together. Ever s
72: Who Put The Ow In Wedding Vow
Who knew the "for better or for worse" part of my wedding vows would get better and better? When you're opposites, one spouse supposedly balances the other. I don't think so. If you're deaf, it affects your balance. If you're deaf to the beliefs and needs of your partner, wouldn't it affect the balance of your marriage? John and I may have been opp
73: Are They Stories Or Lessons
Once upon a time there was a little girl named Goldilocks. When I was a little girl, this was just a bedtime story. As an adult, I can read the lesson between the lines. Picky people are hard to bear.
When I heard the story of "Cinderella", I wanted glass slippers. Now I would need the slippers in size eight and a half. If I tried to squeeze my
74: Are You Running On Automatic
What a difference a day makes - unless you're going through life on automatic. Scientists are no help. They say we shouldn't sleep late even if we have the chance. Supposedly not getting up at the same time every day has a negative effect on our biorhythms. Obviously, those scientists don't have young children.
I try to get up before the alarm c
75: Criminal Treesitters Winning War of Nerves Against Weenie UCSC Administrators
Three guys up in trees are winning the war of words and nerves against the multi-billion University of California system. The three guys and their supporters are bringing the highly taunted University of California to its administrative and intellectual knees, thus begging the question of the value of a higher UC education.
