Psychic Energy

( Ally da Pup and Dad and Life and Movies and POV and Psychic )

A spooky post reprinted from April of 2006. Happy Halloween!
It’s happening again!
I’ve mentioned before I’m somewhat psychic. It seems to kick in the most when I’m either very happy or very sad. Or when my head is clear and I’m feeling open and receptive to things. Seriously. It tends to come out in all sorts [...]

Reflections On Father’s Day (Revisited)

( Dad and Life and POV and The South )

From two years ago…
I’ve been feeling down the last couple of days and have not really been sure why. Just a kind of disconnect somehow. Anyway, I have been thinking about it and suddenly a light bulb went off in my head. FATHER’S DAY. One of my least favorite holidays since my Dad died. [...]

Childhood 101

( Dad and Friends and Mom and Nostalgia and POV and The South )

Drum roll please… Carolyn is the winner of the what the heck should I write about contest?
Thus I give you a bit of nostalgia…
When I was a kid:
My Dad and I had Yahtzee marathons. For hours. And it was a fight to the death. None of that wussy “let your daughter win” stuff.

It’s Burning Daylight, Baby

( Dad and Movies and Nostalgia and POV and Showbiz and TV and Work )

Once again I’m revisiting a post from last summer. It’s freaking hot outside, so sue me. Enjoy!
I LOVE Westerns. I have ever since I was a little girl. I used to watch them with my father for hours on end. My favorites are “Red River,” “The Searchers,” and “The Cowboys.” Needless to say I [...]

I’m the Reason They Invented Child Proof Outlets

( Dad and Dogs and Mom and Nostalgia and POV and The South )

I was a very curious kid, (one of those children who constantly asked “Why?”) I always wanted to know about EVERYTHING. Apparently some things never change, I’m still nosy inquisitive. I was an only child and often had to figure out ways to entertain myself. Given how my mind worked that lead to some freaky [...]

Pinball Wizard

( Dad and Home and Mom and POV and The South )

I’m a whiz at pinball. I bet you never knew that about me right? It all started when I was 16. My dad was quite a rebel and he knew some odd characters. He became friendly with a guy who had a factory that repaired arcade pinball machines. He offered my dad one at an amazing price. That pinball machine became [...]

The “Go-To-Gal”

( Dad and Friends and POV )

My father died over 20 years and I still miss him. He had a heart attack about 10 years prior, but he had recovered and was seemingly in great shape. His death was very sudden, Dad was there one day teasing me about something, and then the next day he was gone. [...]
