Love
Day's Comin' By Mona Lease
Hi, all!! Valentine's Day is only 18 days away - as I pen this. A
reader shared with me that: "there is much I can
use"
from last week's column. Thanks, reader! I strive to bring reality to
this column. Sometimes it's ugly to face. But, if we face it together -
I think we'll be ok. I've never liked the idea of one day - Valentine's
Day - being "the day" to buy stuff - over-priced as it is - for the
day to show or say "I love you"... read

Elsie’s
Legacy, By Lois E. Wilson
I don’t know exactly when Mr. Buffington came into my life. I was a
small child when I learned that he had loaned my parents money to buy
our home after they lost their first one to the bank during the Great
Depression. He was tall and had one arm—the result of a work injury
years before. He had left Ohio to live in Chicago with his daughter
Elsie and her husband, Frederick Boe. At least once a year he came... read

Don’t mess with seniors… continued,
From a CNO reader
Some people will never learn you simply don’t mess with seniors… We
went to breakfast at a restaurant where the ‘Senior Special' was two
eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $2.99. "Sounds good," my wife
said, "but I don't want the eggs." "Then I'll have to charge you $3.49
because you're ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her. "You mean
I'd have to pay more for not taking the eggs?... read

The
Rest of the
Story, By Mona Lease
HI, all!! Consider the following from 1965 - I was six years old. "If I
were the devil - I wouldn't be happy until I had seized the ripest
apple on the tree.......the. So, I'd set about however necessary to
take over the United States. I'd pollute the churches first. I'd begin
with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would
whisper to you as I whispered to Eve - "Do what you want." To the
young... read

Sometimes
Ya
Gotta, By Mona Lease
Hi, all!! I was perusing Facebook. It's been a favorite of mine lately.
I've been blessed by the people posting on it. I've seen some groups -
I guess they are called - where the cussing, drug/sex posts (talk and
photos) is astounding - downright atrocious and stomach-churning...to
me, anyway. (I guess there's no FCC anymore!). I found the following. I
thought it said so much - to so many - in so few words... read
