The plumber

It had been a helluva day at the McNeal house.  That morning, the refrigerator lost power, which required the family to hurry and drink several gallons of milk before they became spoiled.   Then, just around noon, the toilet clogged beyond Mr. McNeal’s ability to fix it.   Needless to say, the McNeal clan was more than a little uncomfortable waiting for the plumber to arrive.

30 Second Story…..A Farmer’s Valentine

by Jotter girl on February 11, 2013

roll in the hay

On Valentine’s Day, Selma arrived at Hay Fever Farm wearing her fancy new outfit.  Earlier in the week, she had informed her boyfriend Russell, that after two years of dating, she was finally ready for that roll in the hay he was always asking her for.  Anticipating chocolates and flowers, she was a little put off when Russell led her to a nearby pile of hay.  She was even less than thrilled when she noticed he was still holding his pitch fork.

Happy Valentines Day.

Spicing things up Beverly sat alone at her kitchen table, took a deep breath and dialed the phone.  She’d been alone for too long, hated her job and was ready to make a change. “Hello, Madam Lulu’s escort service.” barked the woman on the other end.  Beverly nervously told the Madam that she was looking [...]

Abercrombie & Fitch Part II. Seriously, pull up your pants.

December 10, 2012

It was sixteen months ago when I wrote to Abercrombie & Fitch letting them know I was onto their ploys to try and keep me out of their store.  I also acknowledged that, much to my dismay, it wouldn’t be long before my children would be interested in shopping there. Well, that day came last [...]

Abercrombie & Fitch Part 1

December 5, 2012

This Open Letter was originally posted in August 2011.  I thought it would be a good precursor to my next post Abercrombie & Fitch Part 2 which will be up tomorrow.   Dear Abercrombie & Fitch, I for one, am very aware that you do not want me in your store. Your clever idea to [...]

She picked herself up and dusted herself off…. grabbed the crown and fixed it, setting it on her head proclaiming herself Queen. __________ Today [...]
