Board Games...Remember Them?

Board Games...Remember Them?
Over the past few years I have tried several online games. I find them
relaxing and addicting. I’m not sure if the addiction is to the games
themselves or the de-stressing factor they have on me. When I am
playing, I concentrate so much on the game I forget whatever is causing
me stress. I’m sure it has the same affect on many and that’s why it’s
so hard to stop. Right now I am hooked on Bubble Witch Saga and stuck at
level 55. I suppose if I don’t succeed in passing that level, at some
point my frustration will cause me to give it up. But, remember the old
board games?
I woke up thinking about board games today, for no special reason. I was
thinking of how some of them kind of prepared us for life. The game
Life was one of my favorites....

Dr. Phil Has Irked Me Again…
Self promotion and exploitation are the basic motivators
for Dr. Phil’s show. I am not the only one who feels that way, just
check out his show’s Facebook page to see complaint after complaint.
What’s up now? For those of you who don’t tune in I’ll explain. This
year Robin, Dr. Phil’s wife, has “created” a skin care line (and I use
the word “created” very loosely). On top of that, Dr. Phil and his son
Jay have created a new app called, “Doctor on Demand,” that allows you
to connect with a real doctor, who will diagnose you over your smart
phone and give you a prescription for whatever ails you for a mere $40,
the cost of a co-pay, in the comfort of your home. That is what is on
the agenda for this season. Two money making schemes to...

Once upon a time, Russell Stover has no plastic tray and more candy...
I have been buying and eating Russell Stover chocolates for about 40
years if not longer. In fact, when my husband and I were dating, I
already had a strong preference for Russell Stover candy for quite a few
years. So when he bought me Whitman’s chocolates for Valentine‘s Day, I
made it clear that I only eat Russell Stover. The next time
Valentine’s day rolled around and he forgot and bought Whitman’s
chocolate again. I told him to give them to his mother because I only
eat Russell Stover. Eventually he caught on.
A couple of years ago Russell Stover joined the incredibly shrinking
products era. They shrunk their one pound box of chocolates to 12
ounces, but...
Family Trees..
10:10 AM
MARYAM
In 1977 Alex Haley’s “Roots” became a miniseries on television. My
brother and I watched every episode and loved it. But even after
watching it, we could not shake the value of finding the roots of our
own family. Someday I would have children and I would want them to know
where they came from, the relatives who might be long gone before their
arrival, and those who they might meet but would never remember as they
got older.
My brother started asking questions and information from our parents. He
got the names of our ancestors for as far back as they could remember,
which was a little easier for us since our parents were first cousins
and our tree was a little one sided. He got the names of all the
relatives they could remember, including dates of birth, marriage and
death...
Hanging Up The Phone On Someone…

Hanging Up The Phone On Someone… I received a special request to blog about phone hang
ups so I will do my best. I have rarely been hung up on, but I know that
it is infuriating when it happens, no matter who is on the other end.
It is about as rude as one can be using the telephone, as far as I am
concerned. I think my mother hung up on me once or twice, but she was
allowed to be rude, she was my mother and that excuses her bad behavior.
Mothers can get away with things that other people can’t, that is one
of the ten commandments. In my mother’s case, she always felt that I
provoke her bad behavior by my choice of words, tone or attitude. In any
case there would be no winning that argument.
If someone, other than my mother, were to hang up on me, that might be
the last...

Rural mom says 'The Dr. Phil Show' tricked, ambushed, manipulated and misrepresented her

A rural Kentucky family that was featured on "The Dr. Phil Show" told
their local newspaper that they felt tricked, ambushed, manipulated and
misrepresented by the producers. After the show appeared Dec. 2, Willie
and Laura Essex (in photo with host Phil McGraw) told their experience to The Lebanon Enterprise, which published a story about it this week.
Laura Essex said the episode, titled "Brat-proof your child," made it
appear that she often yells at her triplets when she does not. She said
the producers made the yelling appear worse by increasing the audio
volume on home video she made for the show; told her husband to sit in
the audience after telling them that they would be on the set together;
and told them to say that they asked to be on the show, though they were

SABC2 still has any audience left bothering, or knowing to tune in again
to watch Phil McGraw dispense pop psychology in his talk show.

and the lack of continuous - or any - communication...

On July 17, 2014, my sisters Sydney & Dani Wolferts ran away
after we tried to take our dad to court for abuse. They were found on
January 3, 2016. On March 17, 2016 the judge ordered for them to be sent
back to Kansas. After our dad has refused and delayed many orders, we
finally have trial set at the end of April 2018 to have the abuse
petition heard.
I have the
deepest respect and love for the amazing life that Ellie Wiesel lived.
He passed away today at the age of 87. For those of you who don't
recognize his name, this man not only survived the absolute terror of
the Nazi camps but then dedicated his whole life to making sure that the
world would never forget. I will never forget his legacy.
It was both
intriguing and shocking to me that Ellie had to spend so much...
