For Homecoming Escorts

I am a bit late with this season’s homecoming thoughts because of my day job. For the most part I have seen the usual: short dresses, young ladies in the traditional pose (all huddled up together touching elbows while slightly bending) and boys wearing too short pants with no socks. I’m never going to likeContinue reading “For Homecoming Escorts”

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”

School Clothes

This post is primarily about girls because I’m a woman, and I don’t see inappropriate clothing so much in boys. For the boy moms and dads, make sure they keep their pants up. I get so tired of seeing underwear instead of shorts or jeans. Do girls like this? Before I go down a rabbitContinue reading “School Clothes”

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”

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”

Graduation is over, so what now?

Now that prom and graduation season is over, what happens next? If you’ve graduated from either high school or college, or if you are considering a job change, here are some things that might come in handy as you begin the interview process.

Is it Really a Village?

In response to the fact that two 18 year-olds were responsible for two different mass shootings in less than a week’s time, I posed the question, “What’s going on with 18 year-olds these days?” I received a number of responses, and one that stood out to me was this: “…Please bring back parents and neighborsContinue reading “Is it Really a Village?”

Thoughts on Graduation

Disclaimer: I don’t have kids, and my opinion on this topic might likely upset you. It is your prerogative to continue to read. This is my opinion. Now that prom season is over, I’ve come to some realizations. For one, things are a LOT different than in my day in terms of what is consideredContinue reading “Thoughts on Graduation”
