NOW HEAR THIS
By Dick Woflsie My wife convinced me to get hearing aids about three years ago. However, I frequently forgot to wear them. I had to keep asking, “What?” After a while, it annoyed my friends and family, so I added a little variety, like, “Say what?” and “Excuse me?” When I returned to New York for a fall visit, I…
Read MorePLAYING CHICKEN
My wife and I went to the State Fair recently and Mary Ellen spent a lot of time in the poultry barn looking at baby chicks saying, “How cute,“ while I was out on the Midway looking at you-know-what on a stick, saying, “How delicious.” The next day while at Menards, I saw two magazines,…

By: Dick Wolfsie Yesterday I walked in the house and casually asked Mary Ellen, “You haven’t had a chance to call the plumber yet, have you?” “Why do you have to be so negative?” she asked. “I’m not being negative, Mary Ellen. I don’t know what you mean. Didn’t I just ask a question?” “See,…

By: Dick Wolfsie This ad was on line the other day. I am not making this up. “As a clown, you help people celebrate special occasions, making sure everyone has a laugh.

Read MoreLaments Of A Broken, But Not Beaten, Man
By: Dick Wolfsie I am retired. So, I don’t work. Neither did anything in our house on Thursday of last week. The problem began about 2 am. One of the fire alarms started making a weird chirping sound. We assumed it was the batteries, but this is not an easy fix. It required one of…
Read MoreYou Said What Bit You??
By: Dick Wolfsie We have a cat, her name is Angel, and most of the time she is just that. Except when she is a devil. Last week, when Mary Ellen reached for a tissue while watching TV, Angel, who had nestled next to her for the evening, bit her. The cut wasn’t very deep…
