Merry Christmas with the Story
Holiday Memories A True and Heart-warming Christmas Story My most memorable Christmas was back in 1955, when I had been abandoned by my ex-husband. We lived in California and all my family lived in Florida. I had just left my job, cashed my paycheck and rushed to the drugstore to buy my son some...

Wenceslas WAS Before His Time

When the Nazis arrested the Communists, I said nothing; after all, I was not a Communist. When they locked up the Social Democrats, I said nothing; after all, I was not a Social Democrat. When they arrested the trade unionists, I said nothing; after all, I was not a trade unionist. When they...

Palin: Fear Tactics
"> Late on Oct 4, 2008, I received an e-mail questioning Obama’s character, and it was written as if it was a personal concern. I read it, decided to ignore it, and went to bed. The next morning, McCain/Palin were down another point in the polls. I was standing in the kitchen, pouring myself a cup...

See if you're picking your jaw up after reading this story from SE Texas and Hurricane Ike. She wrote from Sam Rayborn Lake: I have...

YOU wrote that?
Nicer words could not have been spoken by my old husband. I handed him my "Bawdy Song" to read, and he chuckled as he read through it. I told him he had to imagine he was sitting in a tavern of about 200 years ago and he could make up his own tune to go with the words. He sort of nodded and said,...
