Remember the old laminated cabinet TVs, the ones that were made to look like furniture, and actually called "a set"? Back then, you knew where the knobs were and more importantly, what they each did.

Pets & Animals > Horses (Other) Horses: The funniest thing: 4 of 23

The ownership of horses, and our subsequent riding trail business, started out more like funny business. Our first purchase was a one-year-old standard bred, named "Nibbler".

Speed Of Life "Look at her, isn't she wonderful?", I asked my husband in a hushed whisper, as we stared down at the little pink face. "Yes.", he simply replied. "Come here!" "Because I said so!" "Sweetie, put your coat on, it is cold outside." "Coming over today!" "We're just too busy right now, Mom." "Mom, don't buy me any ...

I was once bountiful, and unlearned, Now, I am old and riddled with disease. My guts have been probed and prodded, parts are missing and then re added, see? I s...

Many years ago, I discovered a unique gift idea for hunters, camouflaged toilet paper. Yes, I know. Over the course of my years as a hunter's wife, I too thought I had seen it all. So every year in the stocking, along with the usual fare of battery-heated socks, hand warmers, a deer caller, flashlight and orange sock cap, wo...
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Childhood: 34 of 77

When I was a kid, we got a stocking filled with one orange, an apple some peppermint, and a pair of socks. Our big-ticket item was a bike, or a big wheel. We were happy with what we got.

There are variables that will dictate how time consuming a settlement will turn out to be. This will also be a good time to take in account the ...
