She was in her 20's, and the man she was dating left for war. "We were in love," she recalled, "and wrote to each other every week. It was during that time that I discovered how wonderful your grandfather was." "Did you marry Grandpa when he came home from the war?" I asked. "Oh, I didn't marry the man who wrote the letters. Your grandfather was the mailman." A family was having dinner, which included some Swiss Cheese. The little boy said, "Dad I don't like the holes in the cheese!" "Well son, eat the cheese and leave the holes on the side of the plate." AMAZINGLY FIT MANAGER Five mornings a week, my husband goes to the health club, gets on the stair-stepper, sets the timer, and buries his nose in a book. Recently, he noticed an amazingly fit middle-aged woman who seemed to run circles around everyone, took few breaks, and rarely even broke a sweat. "It's not fair," he complained. "By the time I'm dragging myself off to the showers, she's hopping back onto the stepper for another session." One day he came home with a sheepish grin. "Well," he said, "I just found out how she does it -- identical twins." The manager at the restaurant where I worked was a friendly, jovial sort. But there was one subject you didn't dare discuss in front of him, his height. Or, should I say, his very obvious lack of it. One day he stormed through the front door and announced angrily, "Someone just picked my pocket!" Most of my fellow waitresses didn't say anything, but finally Marilyn just had to blurt out, "How could anyone stoop so low?" MOST BEAUTIFUL THING The English test had only one question: "Write an essay on 'The Most Beautiful Thing I Ever Saw'''. One of the students finished his essay in less than a minute. It read in its entirety: "The most beautiful thing I ever saw was just too beautiful for words." He got the only A in the class. It Makes Sense...By Veda Hale BEE STINGS In a past column I told about using a penny taped over a bee sting and that I had tried it over a mosquito bite and thought it worked. Since then I found that some "experts" thought it probably wouldn't work. Hummmm. Who am I to question "experts"? I did find other, perhaps, just folk remedies to try, in case you are far away from an 'expert" and get stung or have a child stung. Often just the doing something and being told it will help really does. Here is the list: A paste of baking soda and water,Vinegar, Ice, A paste of Aspirin and water, Tobacco juice?, A paste of vinegar, baking soda, and meat tenderizer, Toothpaste, Raw onion Of those, ice looks to be the most effective. Those who instead turn to their physicians for relief from bee stings will likely be prescribed oral antihistamines and/or topical (cream or ointment) cortisteroid preparations. Key to any recovery, however, is removing the bee's stinger from the wound as soon after the attack as possible. Whereas some say it doesn't matter how the item is extracted, others assert the importance of eschewing the use of tweezers and instead advocate scratching the site in hopes of catching the edge of the stinger and so easing it out. Behind this recommendation lies the idea that the venom sac remains attached to the stinger, thus any pinching of the organ will force further venom into the victim. About 100 people a year die from bee stings. So if someone is reacting out of the ordinary, it pays to get help. ANOTHER NATURE HAZARD At the ranch, we have a plant that produces a most annoying burr that sticks to stockings and pant legs. It is evolutionary smart and grows mostly along paths or roads the better to snag onto something. Well, along comes my little, white, fine-haired pup, Bozie. Before I know it he is a prickly mess of burrs. I spend half a morning cutting them out, and as I did so, I thought how like it is in this world when evil, designing people put bad stuff out there to be snagged by our innocents going by. How damaging! Poor little Bo zie was most uncomfortable and he wasn't very lovable either, because of the stickers. So, I pondered, should I try to teach Bozie to avoid the burr plant? Or should I rid his living area of the obnoxious plant? I concluded ridding the area of the plant was much more reasonable than trying to teach him when about all he can do now is catch on to how to be potty trained. So that's what I did--rid the area of COMPLETE THE GRID SO THAT the burr plant.
