Hey, everyone! I learned a new word today; Holistic Medicine. It apparently means climbing into a hole, (hence the name hole-istic), then filling the hole with hot water and herbs in the hopes of curing what ails you. Obviously, if you lived near a hot-spring, things were a bit easier. When ancient, practically prehistoric, people …

Did He Really Say That??
We have all heard our parents say stupid things. My father’s favorite was to come up to me while doing homework and ask, “Working hard, or hardly working?” Then he’d laugh and walk away. I admit it was worth a giggle in the first grade, but by the time I was a senior in college …
Perfect Princess Problems
Disney lied. Oh, I know that statement will get comments, but the truth must come out. Remember, I am not saying Disney cartoons and movies aren’t entertaining. They are. Also, I will admit I love the Disney parks. So, all of Disney is not necessarily corrupt. In fact, unless you have serious issues about the …
Look What I Did!
I have done it! I may not be the first person to ever have done it, but it wouldn’t surprise me if I was. I have reached the pinnacle of good housekeeping. I expect any minute now, some magazine or news outlet will be breaking down my door to find out how it was done. …
Get A Job or At Least Try To
A while back I was looking for a new position. No! Not that kind of position! I was looking for a new job. Now, don’t you feel bad, for having such dirty thoughts? Anyway, once you’ve cleansed your mind you’ll probably be thinking, “C’mon Mr. Ohh!. A multi-talented person such as yourself must have people …
This Is The Last Time (or not)
I am about to throw my phone in the garbage. No, that’s too good for it. I am about to buy black-powder and… No not enough. I am about to contact North Korea and ask if I can strap my phone to their next nuclear test package. Oh wait, they don’t do that anymore, our …
Back To Sale (oops I mean School)
You all know the song so sing along School Daze School Daze Dear old Golden Rule days (more like Time to break some rules days) Oops. Sorry, I interrupted the song. Don’t mind me. Keep going. Readin’ and ritein’ and ‘rithmatic Okay, I’ve got to stop this again. How can the most beloved song about …
And Then There’s Mauve
Many years ago, I met Mr. Roy G. Biv. Not to be confused with Roy Bevens, the kid who stole Sara Callahan from me in the sixth grade. That kid was so mean! He knew I liked Sara and he purposely… wait a minute, I’m getting off topic before there even is a topic. So, …
The Quest For The Holy Tote Bag
All right now. Everybody needs to slow down just a little. Someone please tell me what it is with all these tote bags. And no one better tell me that we are saving the planet with these canvas marvels, because the opposite is true. I realize, this is the point where I get in trouble …
North Dakota Blues
“Fifty Nifty United States From thirteen original colonies.” If you have, or ever had, a child attending middle school then you have probably heard this song. They taught it to me when I was in fifth grade and to my kids even earlier. If you’re not remembering, then you might be in denial about your …
