"The American Frugal Housewife"

Twelfth Edition, Enlarged and
corrected by the author 
She had to add the word "American" to
the title because there was a book by the 
same name published in England.

Sad Picture

This is the saddest picture I've ever seen. 

Once Again, Some Word Play

Here's another silly little "poem" I wrote awhile back. (I'm never quite sure how to write "awhile back."  Perhaps it should be elihwa.)

FAN DANG OH

A fan dancer,

a fancy dancer,

a fandango dancer.

Oh, dang! A fancy

fandago dancer!

I DETEST This Commercial!

I hate, detest, despise, CANNOT STAND this commercial.  It is probably meant to be humorous, but I don't find it the least bit amusing. To me, it seems as if they are trying to GUILT

people into playing the lottery.

Besides, I can see another outcome for "Future You." "Future You" is now broke because "Present You" spent so much money on lottery tickets and never won a big prize.
