You Gotta Try This!

Thursday, 29 June 2006 11:59 P GMT-05

I admit it, I was a little skeptical. "Come on Catty, try the Pretzel Jello," they said. I don't know. I'm not a big fan of jello or cool whip, and just the name Pretzel Jello doesn't make my brain or my mouth want to dive

Bu-Bye Biker

Wednesday, 28 June 2006 12:00 A GMT-05

It's a shame that a place so beautiful became my hell on earth. I spent the last year and a half trying to erase the bad things that happened there by not thinking, and talking about anything associated with that place. Now that I look at

Obscenity Defined

Tuesday, 27 June 2006 1:45 P GMT-05

A recent blurb on CNN mentioned that corporate CEO's are making 262,000 times the average worker. The average worker it seems is making around $41,000 a year. Let me get my calculator. This tells me a couple of things. First, I nee

Just 4 Fun

Friday, 23 June 2006 3:53 P GMT-05

Over the last year and a half that I have been in Johnstown, Honey has taken me to many places. Some of these places have historical value. Some of them are just plain fun. Coming from the flat lands of Cleveland, Ohio, I have really

Education vs. Crime

Thursday, 22 June 2006 11:59 P GMT-05

Several things in the news lately caught my attention. One was a study showing that children who participated in the Head Start program were less likely to be arrested for crimes before they reached the age of eighteen. Another

Responsibility

Tuesday, 20 June 2006 9:16 A GMT-05

There have been a couple of stories in the local news lately that have made me think about responsibility, both personal responsibility and the responsibility we have to the people around us. It seems as if we've lost sight the last decade on j

Happy Father's Day!

Sunday, 18 June 2006 8:50 A GMT-05

This is for Honey, and Joe (my manager at work), and --W--, and my dad, and other dads who raised their kids "on their own." I hope you have a great day! I remember . . . . Sitting at Oma's kitchen table and my dad reading a letter f

It Pays to be Nice!

Friday, 16 June 2006 11:12 A GMT-05

I've been reading many other blogs that have observed lately how mean and nasty people are. Not only are people rude to each other here in the computer arena, it's been happening more frequently out on the streets. I've seen nasty behavio

Shopping, or Nightmare Part II

Thursday, 15 June 2006 5:12 P GMT-05

Ok, so I completed my mental checklist on the shopping rules. Not a Sunday or Holiday, check. Purse loaded with cash and debit cards, check. Matching purse and shoes, check. Mental inventory of clothing needed, inc

Nightmares

Thursday, 15 June 2006 11:27 A GMT-05

Honey asks me why I sleep with the covers over my head. I look at him like he's grown a couple extra eyes and say rather exasperated, "vampires!" My brother adds in sarcasm, "Duh, isn't this logical to everyone?" I'm

Race, Culture, II.

Friday, 9 June 2006 10:24 A GMT-05

Why is it that we feel we have to assign people to categories? Is this human nature? Or, is this just a way to include or exclude people? We go out on the street and immediately start the division. It usually starts with gender.&nb

Race, Culture, Ethnicity

Wednesday, 7 June 2006 3:11 P GMT-05

One of the benefits of growing up in a large city like Cleveland, Ohio, is its' cultural diversity. It's probably the reason I hold many of my beliefs about "race" and ethnicity today. Not to minimize the contributions

Irritation

Tuesday, 6 June 2006 12:00 A GMT-05

I don't know what it was about Sunday afternoon. Maybe the cold rainy evenings of the last couple of days were getting to people. Maybe the wacko's were just out in force. Full moon? I don't know. I just had th

Pot, Pot, Pot

Thursday, 1 June 2006 3:38 P GMT-05

Pot, pot, pot, fourteen in all. I spent Wednesday filling all the pots with my haul from the local home improvement store. Three flats of annuals. Three large Sedum. Three vining Geraniums. Two Waxy Begonias in a beautiful

Wedding Weekend

Busy weekend. I had to leave work early Saturday, so I could rush home and change for the wedding we needed to attend in State College, PA. I had barely walked in the door when The Teen came tearing down the steps to tell me I had to go r

Social Security?

Thursday, 1 June 2006 9:07 A GMT-05

This is another letter to the Tribune Democrat regarding an editorial they did on Social Security. Several times they mentioned that this was an entitlement program. My point is that it is an insurance program raped by our politicians for
