Pernell Roberts dies

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 26 Jan 10

Do you remember Bonanza that ran during 1959-1973? Pernell Roberts played Adam Cartwright for the first 6 years and after that, he bowed out of Bonanza. He was the eldest son of Ben Cartwright, played by Lorne Greene. The other...

Life has it's ups and downs

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 14 Apr 09

We have had lots of problems with our yard since the property next door was excavated for a proposed Bingo Gambling joint. Every time it rains, the water runs off into our yard, keeping it like a soup hole. Takes forever for it to...

President Obama says that his $3.6 trillion budget for the fiscal year 2010 is right on track. But the Congressional Budget Office is predicting that it will be $2.3 trillion worse. Just how far will the president go in mortgaging...

Uncle SAM lost this time!

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 21 Mar 09

Well, we always dread to file our taxes because we always pay a big sum to Uncle Sam every year. Sometimes we get some back from the state, but last year, between them both, we were out about $5,000! Well, today, we had our...

Problem finding the dashboard for tasks

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 17 Mar 09

Am I the only one who finds it hard to find the dashboard for the new tasks? It is easy when there is an alert at the top of our mylot page. But, if you click on tasks at the bottom, that only gives you information and nothing...

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 1 Mar 09

SNOW! The timing of this snow lacked about 12 days being on the same day as the 1993 snow in which we were snowed in for a week! But this snow also is nothing like that snow. It's just pretty. The weatherman said we could probably...

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 16 Feb 09

Do you have any romantic tales to tell? Has anything ever happened to you that you thought was very touching and romantic besides the usual things of getting flowers, candy, etc? My granddaughter has had her share of heartbreak...

Do you remember when

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 11 Feb 09

Life was much more simplified than it is today? You didn't have to worry about locking your doors because you were afraid of your neighbors? Or, anyone else, for that matter. The last thing you'd think about would be your...

Can you tell the difference.......

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 11 Feb 09

Do you think you could tell the difference in someone being themselves or play acting? Here on the Internet, we don't really 'know' a person as we would were we friends living in their hometown. Unless we have met the person, we...

Just how addicted are you?

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 7 Feb 09

I knew I was addicted but I didn't realize I was so addicted! Other night, I was sitting in my easy chair with my laptop in my lap where I had been typing. And I had the television on with the menu of the stations (I have...

Drinking from the dipper

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 5 Feb 09

Watching an old Little House on the Prairie program got me to thinking. The doctor gave a patient some medicine and then handed him a dipper of water he had taken from the water bucket. Back when we all had well water, there...

I entertained two young men!

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 31 Jan 09

Now, before you get all in a twist, the young men happened to be my oldest grandson (twenty) and his friend. They came early this morning to deer hunt on the last day of hunting season here. Those guys spent all morning until...

I thought I saw a ghost!

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 24 Jan 09

Have you ever looked into the eyes of someone and thought you saw someone you knew it couldn't be? The person to whom you thought you were looking at has been deceased for years. Yet, standing before you is a person that looks...

The beginning of the Secret Service

The Presidents have not always been protected by the Secret Service. It was only started in July of 1865 after Abraham Lincoln's assassination in April of that year. It was began because of all the counterfeiting and not for...

Comparing the cost of some Inaugurations

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 20 Jan 09

Clinton's last inauguration was $42 million. Bush's last inauguration cost $40 million. OBAMA's inauguration cost over $150 million! I doubt that it cost anything for Lincoln's inauguration. Here's some information about...

Free at last!

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 19 Jan 09

President Bush has commuted the sentences of the Border Patrol Agents who were convicted back in 2005 of shooting a Mexican drug runner. I've felt from day one that these guys should never have been prosecuted. They were hired to...

When life deals you lemons -

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 15 Jan 09

Make lemonade! I know that is an expression that is used often in life. But it holds some sort of a truth. If we sat around all the time running our problems through our heads, we would be a nervous wreck or in the insane asylum!...

How are you with lizards?

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 15 Jan 09

For many years, we never saw a lizard around our house, but we had cats back then. All of a sudden, those critters began to appear everywhere around our house. And the one place I hated to see them was on my back steps! I would...

Coach Tony Dungy retires

Barb42 @Barb42 (4214) • United States 13 Jan 09

I suppose they all knew it was coming. Dungy is leaving the Indianapolis Colts after seven seasons. I am sure he will be missed by the team as well as those of us who followed the game. He always seemed to me to be a very nice...
