    Dear Readers...I will be voting Matty as most Thought Provoking, because, quite simply, she is. :) I encourage all of you to do the same.

    Ciao for now...and new weekly article will be up later tonight, and it's titled: "Flirting with danger?"

    Dear Kacey...so many great entries. I'm not familiar with Antique Mommy, but if you say it's funny, then I know that it is. I will check it out when I get the chance.

    Good luck to you also chica. I have been reading your blog the longest, and I never plan on stopping. ;)

    Teri,

    Oh my goodness!!! You made my day!! Matty mentioned something about nominations, but I thought it was just our little circle, not dozens of blogs!! I'm so proud of all of us!

    You should pop over to Antique Mommy--she makes me laugh out loud! She definitely has the most humorous blog that I've read. But yours is definitely the best-written! Love your style. You've got my vote!

    Again, thanks for the day-brightener. It was thrilling just to be nominated!

    Take good care,
    Lisa

    Meet the Bickersons.

    Image
    Everyone knows the Bickersons. They might be your best friends, John and Joan, your next door neighbors, Phil and Shari, or your in-laws, Pete and Mary. The Bickersons do what they do best. They bicker with each other — anywhere and everywhere, in person, on the phone, in front of other people, and even while in bed. I find that the Bickersons don’t usually argue, or yell — or do anything physically abusive. They just bicker . Not all Bickersons are alike. The Bickersons I know and love happen to be quite entertaini ng and generous to a fault — but they do bicker. Mostly it’s pretty mild, but there are times when their bickering can be uncomfortable to be around — especially if the heat’s turned up a notch (and I do mean literally). If their bickering carries on longer than usual, someone invariably steps up, makes a joke, and everyone laughs. If you don't take the time to get to know my Bickersons, you may assume that they're headed for divorce court. Given their behavior,

    Love thy neighbor...

    What should we do when someone wears out their welcome? A friend of mine is currently struggling with a space invader. He has a friend who loves to stop by unannounced. This used to be an occasional occurrence, but lately it’s become a daily habit. My friend is threatening to develop a nasty habit himself — rudeness. He’s dropped subtle hints, then not-so-subtle hints. Neither has worked. It’s not like he can hide from this friend — he lives right next door. I suggested he just be direct and tell the neighbor he needs some time for himself. This provoked a laugh. I guess some guys have a hard time telling other guys to go away. Next, I suggested that he put a “closed” sign on his door when he doesn’t feel like having company. He thought about this for a moment, but then decided his neighbor would think it was a joke. He also explained that just because he doesn’t want this guy over every day, it doesn’t mean that others aren’t welcome. Poor guy. His girlfriend is way beyond irrit

    Hotel, motel or no-tell Fred

    S o, you’r e in a relationship and heading ou t for a long weekend with your partner. The weekend promises to be great fun. You’re looking forward to getting away and enjoying a few nice meals, perhaps some dancing or listening to some live music, sleeping in, and some lazy days by the pool with some refreshing libations. It’s a change of scenery you’re after…and some romance and relaxation. You get to your destination, check into the hotel, and whack…you are hit in the head with those interesting, yet predictable, expectations the moment the door to your room opens and your partner spies the bed. Perhaps you have the notion. Either way, my point is that the word “hotel” or the hint of the word “hotel” can be a powerful aphrodisiac. Let me digress, cool off and explain where I’m going with this article. Bare with me please…and yes, the bad pun’s intended. A few months ago, I read a silly article about the name “Fred.” I don’t remember all of the details, but I do remember that
