    As a child, I was told I had to drink eight glasses of water a day. By third grade I'd figured out that was two quarts. Now experts have changed their minds. We don't have to drink that much water unless we want to float a loan.

    Some people say you make your own luck. My grandmother disagreed. She said what you make is effort and the more effort you make, the luckier you'll be.

    My grandmother said beauty starts within. I hope she meant within the walls of "Spas R Us".

    Getting enough sleep is important for our health. According to the National Sleep Foundation 100,000 car accidents are caused by sleep deprivation every year - but we're not meant to lose sleep worrying about it.

    Gadgets are a part of progress and I'm trying to progress too. If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we stop clocks from blinking 12:00 after power failures?
  • Does Any Port In A Storm Include Airports?
    No weapons in carry-on luggage - fine; but I've had bruises on my shins that prove wheeled luggage is a weapon. I think wheeled luggage should have directional signals and break lights or airport police should give tickets for moving violations.
  • What Makes The World Go Around?
    Judging by the line of cars at Starbuck's drive-in window, coffee makes the world go around. Sometimes the line of cars causes traffic problems, but that doesn't seem to bring the police around. Oh - no donuts.

    I always have errands to do and there seems to be more every week. Maybe I've read too many books by Stephen King, but I wouldn't be surprised if my errands grew long ears and cotton-ball tails.
  • Do You Watch Out For What's In?
    Because my grandmother wanted to give me what was in style, she gave me what girls in her neighborhood wore. When my grandmother's eyesight started to fail, she went to Plan B. She asked me what I wanted. That's always in fashion.
  • Is Running Late Exercise?
    If the movie "Snow White" were made today, the seven dwarfs wouldn't sing "Whistle While You Work". Instead, Grumpy would have a solo. He'd sing, "Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think".

    Last fall my husband and I took a trip back East. The tress were glowing in shades of yellow, orange and red. As a transplanted New Englander, I started to get nostalgic. Then I heard John say a four-letter word - rake.
  • Is It Advertising Or Adverteasing?
    If it says hardware on a sign, I know tools are sold there. I have no idea what's sold at West Coast Custom. Aren't signs meant to attract customers? If so, some signs needs "custom-er-izing".

    During different times in my life I've experienced different inspirational motivations. Now I'm wondering if my alarm clock qualifies as inspirational motivation.

    A hula hoop is a combination of the hula movement and a hoop. Is that an original idea? Maybe God had the only original idea.

    According to a recent report, Americans have saved less than they have in seventy-two years. For many Americans save is one of THOSE four-letter words.

    I don't care how vacation is spelled, I just want one. I don't know if I want to get away from my house, my life or myself - the one I've seen in the mirror lately. I just want to get sway!
  • Why Can't We Have Lots Of Best Friends?
    If you compare three friends, one of them is good, one is better and one is best. It doesn't sound fair, but it's grammatically correct.

    I'm trying to increase my good habits. How am I doing? Not bad.

    If English wasn't my native language, I think it would be too hard to learn. The words too and to are two of the reasons.

    Some people are photogenic. I'm not one of them. When it comes to cameras, I want to be out of the picture.

    As a child, I listened to fairy tales. Now as an adult, I can read between the lines of those tales.
  • How Can You Be Too Old For Birthdays?
    If I didn't celebrate my birthday, wouldn't my parents be insulted? They celebrated when I was born. Aren't I expected to carry on the tradition?
  • Is Hurrying Stressful?
    I identify with the White Rabbit in "Alice In Wonderland". He scurried around yelling, "I'm late, I'm late - for a very important date". I hurry instead of scurry and every day on the calendar is an important date for me.
  • Do You Talk To Talk Radio?
    Wouldn't it be nice if teenagers listened to talk radio. Then I could say, "Turn that damn thing up so I can hear myself think".
  • Why Do People Behave Like That?
    Why do people act silly when a video camera is pointing at them. Do they know why?
  • Is Chocolate Milk A Compromise In A Glass?
    Politics is one of the many things that requires compromise. Is that why some of our politicians have been caught in compromising positions?
  • Who's The Weaker Sex?
    Although women don't play professional football or hit a golf ball as far or hit a tennis ball as hard as men do, I'm not sure women are the weaker sex.
  • Who Carries The Beach Umbrella?
    The beach is a sandbox for adults. We bring toys and take home sand in our clothes.
  • Can You Compare Apples And Oranges?
    "Another day, another dollar". "Time waits for no man". "The bigger they are, the harder they fall". These are adages or truisms, but how true are they?

    I know exercise is healthy. I know it should be part of my daily routine. However, I think a vacation should be a vacation from exercise.

    Optimists come in all shapes and sizes, in all colors and cultures. However, there are specific ways to tell which ones are optimists.
  • Who Ordered The Mail Order Catalogs?
    I didn't order the carving set that looked like drumsticks from a kitchen catalog and I didn't order the curried almond stuffing mix from a gourmet catalog. When it came to mail order, I'd gone cold turkey - again.

    I don't know if the good old days were better; but if I wait long enough, these will be the good old days.
  • Presents Or Presence Of Mind?
    It doesn't surprise me it only takes Santa one year to make presents for all the children in the world. It doesn't surprise me he can deliver all the presents in one night. What surprises me is he asks children what they want. Santa never had any children, did he?
  • Can You Weather The Storm?
    "If You Don't Like The Weather, Wait a minute" - that's a New England expression. However,I came to a point in my life when I couldn't wait for snow to go away.
  • Is Your Lifestyle Stylish?
    From childhood to adulthood, from marriage to career to family - my lifestyle keeps changing styles.
  • Does Re-Gifting Make You Gifted?
    I don't understand why some people are against re-gifting. It's recycling merchandise without recycling money.
