User Manuals

 Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – January 29, 2004 – User manuals are a jolly good read for some people. I have friends who devour them like a new John Grisham novel. They remind me of my tortured days in high school chemistry class, or worse still, geometry sessions with my stern math teacher – Freddie Ahrens.

When It Comes To Animals – THINK

When It Comes To Animals – THINK

When It Comes To Animals – THINK – I like to give people the “benefit of the doubt” – I really do. A person can have an off day – way too much on their mind – too many bills to pay and not enough money at the end of the month – be going through a messy divorce – have out of control kids – a lousy job – a boss who is an absolute idiot – a serious weight problem – a devastatiing health challenge or be born on the wrong side of the tracks. I understand that life can be a challenge.

Menopause

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – January 28, 2004 – “Menopause” – now why is it that even with the change of life – we can’t get away from the ‘men’ in menopause.

Patience & Other Good Things

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – January 27, 2004 – I have a favourite saying about patience, or the lack thereof, coined by I know not whom:

“Patience is a virtue –  Possess it if you can,

Seldom had by women – And never had by men”

Progress Report

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – January 26, 2004 – It’s only 26 days into January – just about the time when New Year’s resolutions start to go the way of old coffee grinds – down the drain! I’m happy to report that my only concession to “resolving” – which was to drink more water is going very well indeed. I keep a ready supply of fresh limes in the kitchen and my water intake has greatly improved.
