Just Asking

The scoop on your dog’s poop
As far as sneaking the snacks into the movies, it’s a big no-no. Apparently, the movie theater owners aren’t the big, mean people I thought they were. The reason they jack up the prices of candy is to help keep the ticket prices lower. There’s a whole marketing angle that I won’t get into, but I think there is a compromise to be made here. If you’re going to be a shady character and sneak your own candy into the movies, then maybe purchase your drinks from the theater’s concessions. This way you’re still shady, but not quite as shady. Hopefully, when things turn around with our economy, we won’t have to be shady at all anymore. Just saying…
Bad Smoke Signals
As teenagers and young adults, I think we’ve all made our share of stupid mistakes. Some of us are left with unwanted tattoos, old pictures of poor haircut choices, or like my husband, two earring holes in one ear (sorry honey, but it’s true). Some may be considered fashion statements, lapses in judgment, or the result of a drunken stupor, and while they may make for a good laugh later in life, none of them can cause cancer like smoking does.
Why talk when you can text?
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) The consensus of whether or not adults should learn the ways of new technology is — yes, with some exceptions. Most readers said they didn’t want to be bothered with learning the digital ways, but they didn’t want to be left behind, ...
Riding the wave of new technology
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) I didn’t receive much feedback on this one. Either I’m the only one who thinks talking to an outside source is the best way to go, or nobody wants to admit that they agree. I’m not surprised. Like I said, counseling is ...
Counseling isn’t just for crazy people
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) It turns out there are a lot of angry people on the street. Some are willing to admit it, but most are in denial. I guess that goes without saying due to the arrogance of those who think they do no wrong. ...
Do you have road rage?
Untitled document (In response to last weeks column) Although I appreciate everyone’s support, I am not starting a new diet. I wish I had answers for those who are, though. If I knew what the right routine was for weight loss I would be busy showing off in “Daisy Dukes” ...
Introducing the brand new you
Untitled document (In response to last week’s column) Surprise, surprise — not too many women are fans of spitting. Unfortunately, I heard every woman’s gross, detailed stories of their personal spit encounters. I even got an entertaining phone call from a lovely gentleman stating that “real” men spit, followed by ...
Quit spreading your spit
Untitled document (In response to last weeks column) Personally, I think this sums it up perfectly: “There are actually three sides to every story — his side, her side and the truth. If you are passing judgment after hearing one side, you are no better than the person telling the ...
Many sides to a story
Untitled document (In response to last weeks column) The flashing of headlights to warn someone of a speed trap is protected by their constitutional right to freedom of speech. All of the feedback I got was pro flashing headlights. It seems as though nobody cares about obstructing justice, just about ...
Saving someone from the flashing lights
Untitled document (In response to last weeks column) Wow! “A Hairy Situation” has gotten the most responses of all my columns so far. I was nervous to put it out there, but I’m glad I did. I love to make people giggle a little. Apparently, everybody “nose” somebody with this ...
