Chuckling about My South and Southerners this morning. When we have a tornado warning siren drill, it's supposed to be exactly at 10:00 am and only on Wednesdays. Exactly at 10:00 is how we know it's just for practice and not the real thing. Well, our

If you need cheering up, go to humorist web site. There's probably 4 hours of YouTube's there, but limit yourself to one or two per day and you will smile for two weeks! Southern American women will especially relate, but this lady understands all peo

Scissor memories of Dennis tonight. Went to Hobby Lobby and found two lovely pairs of large Singer fabric cutting scissors, aqua handles, bent in the handle for easier cutting, and double ground, stainless steel. They were 2 for $15. Tried them out toni

Sloping shoulders? Well, you know how expensive buying shoulder pads is. I have discovered I can get a pair of shoulder pads cheaper by buying a jacket at the Salvation Army, even if I just snip the threads and donate the jacket back! Tonight I have be
