Nothing Lasts Forever--Except Plastic Forks

“Disposable” just seems like a funny way to describe something that will outlast us, our kids, grandkids, great grandkids and probably their great grandkids too. Heck, we could pass down plastic cutlery as family heirlooms. “Disposable” seems like a funny way to describe something that will outlast us, our kids, grandkids, great grandkids and probably their great grandkids too.

Keep the bag please

I’m all for free gifts, but honestly, I’d be happier with five dollar bills. They’re so much more practical.

By Land or by Cell

I used to think that the only thing our landline was good for was getting calls from people we refused to give our cellphone numbers to. Then we got rid of it. And now I know what my old-fashioned phone was really good for

Go to your Corners and Come out Voting

I’m going to suggest to my coworkers that we start working together like Congress does. I don’t think any of my team has experience serving in Congress, but I still think we can pull it off because we were all children once.

Bringing Home the Gold—and the Groceries

A man I know is fond of saying that if shopping were an Olympic sport, American women would bring home the gold every time. I counter with, “If remote control operation were an Olympic sport, American men wouldn’t even let anyone else compete."

All I want for Christmas is for Equifax management and the hackers who stole our data from them to go to jail and share a cell.

The Case for Singing Telegrams

One Friday morning when I was in college, a certain nice young man asked me on a date for that evening. I agreed without hesitation. There was just one problem. Another not-as-nice young man had already asked me out—sort of.

Here's who I'm mad at today. . .

If my printer was a car, I’d have to leave it parked in the garage because I couldn’t afford the gas.

Things that go woosh in the night

One thing I’ve learned watching whodunits is that if you hear strange noises in another part of your house, you should never go investigate, especially if you’re home alone, it’s a stormy night, the power is out and there’s scary movie music playing. Actors do that all the time, and it never ends well for them.

Distressing Fashion News

A pair of jeans you’ve worn so long that the hems are frayed and the knees are threadbare is called “worn out.” A brand-new pair of jeans with frayed hems and threadbare knees is called“distressed,” probably because distressed is how you feel spending good money on a pair of jeans you wouldn’t, in good conscience, donate to a charity thrift shop.

Fish Sticks and Day Old Bread

With good intentions and a little divine intervention, maybe they can be stretched to feed 5000, metaphorically speaking. Maybe our impact can spread like dandelion seeds in the spring or flu germs in an elementary school.
