Thoughts on Netflix’s Dahmer
Like many of you, I watched Dahmer on Netflix. In 1991 when these gruesome crimes were discovered, I remember hearing about it, but I didn’t spend a lot of time learning much about him. At that time I was a high school graduate and was preparing to start my freshman year of college. Now thatContinue reading “Thoughts on Netflix’s Dahmer”
Opinions are like ___holes and everybody’s got one
If you’ve known me longer than five minutes, you might have read my thoughts regarding prom wear, and last week I tackled the topic of school clothes. I was inspired, you might say, by a young woman at a big box store who was in front of me in the line to exit the store,Continue reading “Opinions are like ___holes and everybody’s got one”
Choices Then and Now
On the way to and from church today, my mind wandered about the things that may have consumed my mother’s attention when she was my age. When she was 49, she was working as a substitute teacher in the Pulaski County Special School District, carting me from piano lessons in North Little Rock to UALRContinue reading “Choices Then and Now”
Randomness on a Sunday Morning
I have enjoyed seeing pics of my friends and their travels. I have identified some places I would like to visit in the future! As much as I am interested in your pics, I’m probably only going to look at 12 of the many pics you post. Try as I might, after the 13th orContinue reading “Randomness on a Sunday Morning”
Happy Father’s Day, Dad
It’s Father’s Day and that day doesn’t conjure up many fond memories for me. My dad passed away in 2015 due to kidney failure, but ultimately from dementia. Dad was an old school man. He believed in working hard. There was no doubt that he loved his family. Somehow he didn’t know how to sayContinue reading “Happy Father’s Day, Dad”
What I Want For My Friend
Disclaimer: I am not a relationship expert, nor do I claim to be an expert of any kind. I’m a person who has opinions and doesn’t mind sharing. A few days ago a friend told me that they liked someone. I was happy for him because no one deserves to be in a healthy relationshipContinue reading “What I Want For My Friend”
If There’s a Sign
There are some things that you might not think you need to state, like, “Caution, fire is hot!” or “Slippery when wet,” but there’s a reason those things are in place: because someone will try. It’s necessary language for those that aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, as well as for those who are. Continue reading “If There’s a Sign”
It’s Winter Formal Time
Recently I ran into a friend who was visiting a seamstress because her daughter needed a dress for her upcoming winter formal. She said that her daughter was less than thrilled about the dress that she picked out, and although she was wearing a mask, I could tell that she wasn’t exactly excited. I alsoContinue reading “It’s Winter Formal Time”
Here’s to More “Happy” Days
I can count on one hand the times that I have hosted my family on a holiday. Mainly because I don’t enjoy cooking holiday food (or much more than breakfast food if I’m totally honest). It’s also because once when I hosted, I felt tension in my home amongst a few of my guests, andContinue reading “Here’s to More “Happy” Days”
