Just Asking

Is it in the “stars?”
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column)I got a response that said it perfectly: “Regardless of a volunteer’s ability to help an organization, we greatly appreciate any sacrifice an individual makes to help us carry out the mission. A dollar at the checkout is helpful to someone, somewhere; but ...
So much to do, no time to do it
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) Most people said my grumpiness last week was “writer’s block.” Those closer to me know better — I have plenty to talk about. Experts say hormones, diet and exercise, dehydration and the list goes on. The fact of the matter is simple ...
Who’s in charge of birth control?
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) When you laugh at someone else’s pain or misfortune, it’s called Schadenfreude. That’s right, there’s a name for this bizarre behavior. Everyone seems to have experienced it! I, myself, have done it quite a few times. Watching a goose sneak up on ...
Spring Break fiasco
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) Some of us may be better servers if given the opportunity, but we’re still no better as people, no matter what our profession is. Anyone who shows up to work and is trying their best deserves respect, hands down, no excuses — ...
Don’t judge a person by their dirty shirt
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) One of my reader’s comments said it perfectly: “I think that the “mean coaches” need to act in a professional manner and adjust their coaching methods to the people they are coaching.” I do have to say, in my tennis pro’s defense, ...
Do coaches need to calm down?
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) I ventured over to a second-hand store that sells used clothes on consignment and needless to say, I went home with a “new” jacket, skirt, earrings and a matching necklace. And I don’t care what anyone thinks. Score! Just saying ... Coach ...
Consignment shopping: Fashion for the frugal
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) Oddly enough, I did not get a lot of response to last week’s column. I do like the chemical-free aspect of raising your own food and knowing where it actually comes from, so I’m not against it, I just don’t like the ...
Pasture Pete on my plate to eat
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) A dietician told me that it is the contents of a healthy home-cooked meal that makes the difference. Although I lived through the fast-food phase, I can’t really say I’m all that healthy. Maybe there’s more to this that I need to ...
Home-cooked meals aren’t what they used to be
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) OK, I have to say that I too think I was harsh in last week’s column. I could not get my point across today if I wasn’t, and you know that’s how people talk. I personally think that if you put me ...
What part of ‘No onions’ didn’t you understand?
Untitled document (Last week's response)It seems as though when naming a town, someone simply looked around and whatever they saw, became the name. This would explain Beavercreek, Deer Park or Rocky River. Others were named after people — Boardman was founded by Elijah Boardman, Austintown was apparently named after Judge ...
