Historical Word of the Day: Berties By: Jim The things stored in the dark recesses of the entity formerly known as my mind never cease to amaze, amuse, and occasionally terrify me. A few nights ago, the word "Bertie" bubbled up from the tar-pit depths and like a tired swimmer, did the dead man's float on the thin film of my memory, going willy-nilly this way and that in the weak tide of brain waves. "Bertie," in the connotation in which I remember it, made a spontaneous appearance in 1960 or '61, early in the administration of Governor Bert T. Combs. It was the humorous if somewhat less than complimentary reference to Kentucky's first sales tax -- a whopping three percent -- he pushed through the legislature. "Don't forget the Berties!" quickly became a common reminder to ante up the additional pennies when making for a purchase. I hardly can wait for tomorrow's "word of the day." 2015-01-18 11:17:52 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Jim: History

Carol Perkins: I'm no Snowbird - Part II, conclusion The idea of going to a warm location during the winter once we retire for good might work if we go to a village where people at least play bingo. I have to have people around me; uplifting people with ideas and opinions and plans. I think I will be contented to stay right here where I never long for something to do and can stay warm by the fire and know Spring is coming. A Snowbird I am not.

It's never-ending fun! By Carol Perkins After changing rooms and settling in on the fifth floor of our condo in the Sandestin Beach Resort , we were exhausted. "Is there an ocean out there?" I asked as I flopped on top of the bed. "We'll check it out in the morning," Guy said as he kicked one shoe off and then the other. If we still didn't have a view, then we no longer cared.

By Peg Schaeffer Founder, Sugarfoot Farm Rescue Mickey In May of 2010 I received a call from someone at the Jax's station in Russell Springs. They said there was an old chocolate Lab wandering in the parking lot. Customers were feeding him but people were worried he would be hit by a car. Could I pick him up? When I got there several people at the convenience store told me they remembered a young chocolate Lab that used to visit the store years ago. They said he was very healthy but they hadn't seen him in a long time. Could this be the same dog? Who knows? Maybe he was the same dog and old age had caught up with him. Whatever, he needed some TLC now. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2015-01-18 05:14:39 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Happy Tails by Peg Shaefer
