My 21 yr. old son just got his first real job...

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 22 Sep 10

Well, it's as the title says. I thought it would make things better in our house. The problem now is that he works AT NIGHT. That gives a good nights sleep like we haven't had in years since he has always been a night owl, in and...

Stuff happens for a reason!

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 22 Aug 10

You may not agree with me, but I am sure there are many who do. God does have a hand in guiding the things that happen in our day to day lives. Example one: Last Friday, I said to my son, who works in the moving business: If...

You never really lose an old friend.

Maxxx is my golden retriever mix. He's about seven years old. Because I am not really in very good physical shape, due to arthrosis and a few other ailments, I find it hard to care for him at times. He's very enthusiastic and not...

Does parenting end when your kid turns 18?

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 24 Jan 10

I am one of these people who thinks that because I am The Mom, I will always be The Mom. Once upon a time, being The Mom meant I could give, "Because I said so" as a reason for eating your vegetables or doing your homework before...

Side effect: Loss of vision.

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 23 Jan 10

In the commercials for ED treatments like Viagra, they always say there is a danger to your vision and your hearing. Usually when you hear the side effects of a medication on TV you think it won't happen to you. Someone I know...

Love is so overrated

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 23 Jan 10

I used to be a romantic. I've written a lot of poetry in my almost fifty years and most of it is probably about love. Lately I am coming to the conclusion that love a way overrated part of life. I don't want to sound like a...

One day last week my son was sitting in his college sociology class and the teacher said something about cell phones. Something like: Most of you probably have cell phones and probably many of your parents do. My son was sitting...

A year and a half ago, I stood by my husband as he watched his 86 year old mother dying. He had a hard time visiting her in the hospital the last few days because it was so hard to watch her suffer. As I am writing this, my...

Why the drug companies warn you of side effects but still market the product.

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 20 Apr 09

Some of the side effects we hear about drugs are funny, and some are scary. However they are not advertised to amuse or scare us. They are advertised for a good reason. Remember when your parents and teachers told you to listen so...

Have you tried cooking your turkey upside down?

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 12 Apr 09

For years I have cooked my turkey with the breast side up. Basting... etc. Last Christmas my friend told me to try cooking it upside down... I still baste, but less. It's amazing how moist the white meat comes out this way. The...

I did it, and they said it couldn't be done!

A few weeks ago I planted my tomato seeds and they are growing well. At about the same time, I planted a few rhubarb seeds that I harvested from my neighbor's plant last fall. Several people told me I wouldn't be able to start...

Having your opinions validated is a wonderful feeling. Thank you Mr. Powell.

Perhaps Jerry Garcia would have sung, "What a long strange campaign it's been!" if he were around to witness the present presidential race. We have seen bizarre plot twists all along the way in this one. Hillary came THIS CLOSE...

Monday is the day... Vote if you are a Canadian!

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 11 Oct 08

On Monday, October 13, there will be a federal election in Canada. Although it is not quite as intensely nasty as the American campaign, the race between the Canadian parties has had it's share of back biting and insulting. I...

Apparently age doesn't matter - but maybe it should.

kbkbooks @kbkbooks (7022) • Canada 5 Sep 08

The guidelines for electing a US president state that the candidate must be at least a certain age to run. However it now appears that there is no upper limit placed on this activity. Do the Americans really want to elect a man...
