Vals Life Views

I knew I’d have to resurrect the pantyhose for the evening, a thought I dreaded. Of course I’d have to shave my legs first, because the nylon tends to accentuate hairy legs...

I was sitting at my desk when, out of no where, a deranged fly zoomed by my head. It was out of control and obviously hadn't a clue what...

Hubby and I have lived in the same house for forty years.  When we put our roots down, we sink them in deep.  We’ve thought about moving, but the thought of cleaning out the garage attic, just makes us shudder.  After all, there’s forty years of crapola up there. The neighborhood is generally made up of older couples who, like …

Hubby and I are perfectly matched. Not only am I blind, he’s deaf, so right there it’s a marriage made in heaven. Somehow when we’re in the car driving we get desperate for conversation it seems. We don’t talk about friends or family. Oh no, that would make too much sense, and for us that would be just plain normal. …

I really need a clone; a person exactly like me to share the workload. The technology is here and I wonder why they haven’t actually done it yet. I brought the subject of cloning up to Hubby the other night. Me: “I wish I had a clone.” Hubby: “Hmmm, I don’t know if that would be a good idea.” Me: “Are you …

I don’t know about the rest of the civilized world, but we’re sick and tired of reality shows. We don’t watch much television, but after a busy day, we sometimes turn it on for a bit of relaxation.

Regardless, it was in my hot little hand and it looked amazing. It was so colorful, purple with yellow writing on the cover, and a …

All of us are aware of the holidays that are already on the calendar, but sometimes I think that we should be allowed to pick and choose which ones we’d really like to have. If we could have a day off work for all the obscure holidays there actually are, we wouldn’t have to work a day in our lives. …

You’ve Got To Be Kidding! I came across an article written by Dagny Scott Barrios entitled “Twenty Reasons You’ll Miss Being Pregnant”. That headline really caught my eye, and my brain immediately shouted out “Are you KIDDING ME?” “Now, now,” I replied mentally to the grey orb. “Give it a chance. There may be something you’re missing here.” Deep down …

Men and women speak different languages and relate differently to certain situations. A case in point is how we measure things. I am the first to admit that I am, what Hubby lovingly refers to as, “Measuring impaired.” He, on the other hand, is the King of the tape measure. In our house we have several measuring contraptions. Drawers in every room …
