106: Do You Give Yourself Credit
Once upon a time, not too long ago, my husband thought I had too many credit cards - especially for clothing shops and department stores. John thought having so many credit cards could discredit our credit.
I charged salon services, movie tickets and luncheons with friends - which seem to cost more than lunches. Anyway ... John thought the only
107: Do You Have The Flair To Be A Woman Of A Certain Age
"A woman of a certain age" is a European expression. She's not an older woman. She's a woman who has passed middle age with flair. An example would be Diane Keaton, Diane Sawyer or Oprah.
How do you know when you're old enough to be a woman of a certain age? I knew when I started referring to men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-nine as
108: Do You Know The Reason
Supposedly there's a reason for everything. If there is, I must have had a case of the "reverse Midas touch" yesterday. Whatever I touched turned to fool's gold. I stained a window shade trying to clean it, I broke the kitchen scale by dropping it on the floor and I scratched the dining room tile by moving chairs.
Supposedly things happen in th
109: Do You Look A Gift Horse In The Mouth
When it comes to gift buying, "Be careful what they ask for - you might have to shop for it". I avoid this problem. I don't ask family and friends what they want for birthdays or for Christmas. By doing this I avoid having to shop for things like "a light, blue sweater - but not too light blue; with pretty buttons; machine washable; and in a size s
110: Do You Remember Your School Daze
I still have nightmares about being unprepared for school tests. Would dream analysts interpret that as meaning I don't feel in control of my life or that I have a fear of failure? Maybe I just need to be better prepared for blood tests and eye tests.
I went to an all girls' school - white blouses, blue skirts and brown oxfords. The only time I
111: Do You Talk To Talk Radio
Maybe it's because I grew up in a house full of women, but I'm a talk radio junkie. Music channels don't sooth my savage beast. Music doesn't quiet my thoughts - no matter how loud it is - even teenager loud.
I want a combination of news, weather, interviews and humor. A little bit of sugar helps medicine go down and humor makes it possible to
112: Do You Watch Your Words
If you come across a word you don't know, look it up. My grandmother made that rule to improve her grandchildren's vocabularies and I can still hear her reminding me. Well, looking on the luminous side, if my dictionary is out of reach - or even better - in another room, I can increase my wordage and my exercise at the same time.
Because of the
113: Does The Shoe Fit
They say you don't know someone until you walk a mile in his shoes. If you walked a mile in mine, you'd have to walk in heels. I'm more comfortable in heels than flats - usually.
My luggage was lost when my husband and I went to Costa Rica. Lost luggage wasn't a surprise. Wearing heels to climb over volcanic rock from a live volcano was. Becaus
114: Great Halloween Games
Here is a great excuse for grown ups to play hide and seek, and could be used during Halloween if you are throwing a Goblins and Ghouls Halloween party. One person is selected as the witch and goes off to hide while others close their eyes. After about 5 minutes the witch seekers set off to find witchy...all in total darkness which adds to the eeri
115: 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
116: 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
117: 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
118: 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
119: 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
120: 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
