Simon Says

1236) As I was exposed to figures of speech growing up, I always wondered where the phrases originated. For example, I heard someone say that another person let the cat out of the bag and when I was old enough to reflect; I wished I had some way to learn about its origins. (After all,

People Pleasers

1235) There are several things about myself I really dislike. (OK, there’s more than just several!) I do not like it when people are mad, irritated, ticked off or just plain old don’t like me. I know, can a woman in her late 50s still care about such things? Well, I don’t care as much

The Power of Tiny

1234) A couple of summers ago, my husband became very sick. Both of us assumed he had Covid as we were still amid the pandemic. He was deathly ill, and we later found out that was not an exaggeration. We got to the hospital, and he was hooked up to machines that registered his heart

Are You on Speaking Terms?

1228) I read once about a couple who had so many disagreements, they literally drew a line through their home and one side belonged to the wife and the other side belonged to the husband.
