Whacky's Corner

If yesterday were today today would be tomorrow! I think. That is something my Dad used to say. I'm not sure what it means. Maybe it means all time is relative. You can't live in the past and you can't live in the future. So you have to stay in the present where all of your relatives are. Too bad they aren't here to bring you a present. Now I did know a lady who my mom said lived in the past. She was a friend of my mother's. We would go visit her twice a year. I remember her house smelled weird,... Sign in to see full entry.

Note: This was written last week, in a notebook, with a pen. I didn't want to get my computer fried!---- The sky is all clouded over. The wind is howling and every so often there is the rumble of thunder. I wouldn't mind it so much if it would just rain. It's like the weather is just teasing us! I say rain or clear up. A thunder storm is no fun without the pouring rain. Not to mention the fact the if lightning strikes and start a fire there is no rain to help put it out again! KABOOM! There it...

I was walking across the parking lot at LOWE'S. I had a Forsysthia plant in my basket. As I unloaded the plant into my car, I detected the heavenly fragrance of donuts in the air. At first I wondered where it was coming from. LOWE'S doesn't have a bakery. Then it dawned on me that there was a Krispy Kreme donut shop just across the street. I suddenly saw myself as a cartoon character turning into smoke and floating across the street to the source of that scent. What really happened is as close... Sign in to see full entry.

Do you know anyone who likes mustard on their French fries? Now my mom might have said,"No one in their right mind puts mustard on French fries." But I'm not really sure. I mean what if you don't have any ketchup? Mustard is better than nothing. Right? Well, the other day, I went out to lunch with a friend I used to work with. We both had a sandwich and fries. I watched as she picked up the mustard and squirted it all over her fries! "Ummm...there's ketchup." I told her. "Oh sometimes I just... Sign in to see full entry.

I just saw some aroma therapy scents. Actually I smelled them at the local health food store. The girl showing it to me chose to have me sample 'inner wisdom.' Maybe it was because I was displaying outer dumbness. She also mentioned that there are scents that improve your memory. (Did I remember my deodorant?) Anyway they had a lot of other scents. I sniffed most of them. To tell the truth, I couldn't smell much of anything in any of the tubes I sampled. I either have a cold or I was smelling... Sign in to see full entry.

I like to watch cooking shows on TV. But if I try to fix what they are trying to teach me to fix, it never looks the same. It's messy, but usually it taste's OK. One thing they never even touch on is the mess you get in when you have to prepare the ingredients. - On TV all the ingredient just magically appear. In real life you have to hunt and hunt in the pantry or cupboard for the spice you know is there but that you almost never use. - Even something as simple as lemon chicken becomes a...

Listen to some music! I got a brand new needle! Well, that's what folks used to say when this was the only kind of record player they had. The only record I have to play right now is "Turkey In the Straw." Maybe I'll find another somewhere. Thanks for looking in! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! Sign in to see full entry.

The first really strange thing I saw today was a blue package of dental floss. I was standing in line waiting to return a library book. The lady in front of me was lifting her little girl up so she could reach the slot to return her story book. So I just stood back and sort of glanced around at things. My eye kept falling on a blue package sitting on a nearby table. So after I turned in my book, I picked up my eye, and went over to look at what was so strange yet familiar. It was a package of...

Have you seen those hubcaps where the center spokes keep spinning even when the car is stopped? I had seen them on TV. The report was mostly how much they cost. I think it was in the neighborhood of one hundred dollars apiece! It also mentioned that they got stolen a lot. If you have these hubcaps you might as well leave the car open and lock the hubcaps. As far as I could tell from the report all you had to do is blink and the hubcaps would be gone. I thought stealing hubcaps went out a long... Sign in to see full entry.

I had just backed out of a parking space at the Farmers Market, when a car coming toward me swerved an almost hit me. I glanced over at the other driver. She looked at me as if I had just murdered her first born. If looks could kill, I'd be dead dead dead. Wonder what I did to deserve such a reaction? The only thing I could think of is that I got in her way by briefly backing into what she considered her lane. But it was either that or hit the multi-colored vintage pickup that was parked next to... Sign in to see full entry.
