The Extreme Work Ethic

A rapidly moving trail of ants signaled something big was happening.  Fortunately, the “big” event was happening outside, on the concrete by the pool.

Ants are amazing creatures.  They are industrious; they work together; they don’t pay taxes; and, they are relentless when it comes to food.

These are a series of photos taken when the source of food was picked clean. 

Can you see what it is?

The Remote Conflict

One experiences many conflicts during a marriage.  With some luck and hard work, the couple can resolve these conflicts.

My husband John and I have seen our share of conflicts.  Oh, yes we have.  Usually we have been able to work through the difficulties.

Recently, extreme measures were required to settle a life-long problem.  Now, don’t laugh, because this particular problem has had far reaching effects in the peace of our house.

Where is the remote?

Which always escalates to

I don’t know!  You had it last!

After that, everything goes all messy.  

The couch cushions go flying, unread mail and magazines are moved from place to place, and emotions run high.  Eventually, the dang remote(s) are found, life goes back to normal until the next time one or more remotes go missing.

Few things are as important as the danged remotes.  Remember the day when we had to actually get up off our rears to change the channel??

This has really worked! 

I have solved that problem.  I may patent my ideas.
