Don't change plans lightly
Most people know that plans made by a soldier while on active duty aren't worth their weight in thought space, which, incidentally, is weightless.
Real men wear aprons
Aah, men who cook – we women just love them! The number of men cooking at home is growing. More and more they are the ones doing the sautéing, slicing and dicing. The days of June Cleaver are gone.
Emigration
Many American citizens do not realize how lucky they are having all the rights that citizenship entails. I am delighted to have a coveted Green Card, but the process involved is mind-boggling.
Revolutionary War hero is buried again
Regional history buffs celebrated a significant event Oct. 23 at Mallow Plantation at Pine Harbor in McIntosh County. Lt. Col. John McIntosh, best known as the commander of the Continental Troops at Fort Morris in 1778 during the American Revolutionary War, was interred for a third time.
Gold diggers target soldiers? Get real
There's a stereotype following young military wives around, regardless of how often one proves it false.
Garbage cans will haunt us for years
Trash. Garbage. Waste. Rubbish. Refuse. Debris. Whatever you call it, it is a significant problem. Waste that is not disposed of properly can overwhelm our lives. Have you ever seen pictures of places like France, where workers currently are on strike and the garbage is not being picked up? It just accumulates. When you see mountains of uncollected trash on streets and curbs, it is easy to understand how much waste we create every day. ...
The ever-evasive mole
By Don Gardner I get a number of calls about how to get rid of moles in the landscape. I guess the best short answer is: with great difficulty. Moles seem to be a recent and rapidly growing problem all along the Georgia coast. I have no idea why that is, I just know that it is. I had two commercial landscape companies recently ask me to troubleshoot new tree and shrub plantings that were ...
Old courthouse conintues to serve
Old buildings talk – they have stories to tell. They whisper of times long ago and of faces now forgotten. An architectural gem of a bygone era still stands on Ford Avenue – the old courthouse.
Keeping skeletons in closet often OK
Q: My ex-husband and I aren't friendly. Ours was his second marriage. His first marriage produced a child, but when he and his first wife divorced, he renounced all parental rights. Our son is now 16. I always hoped he'd tell our son about his first marriage, his other son and how his alcoholism played the biggest role in our divorce, but he never has. I've had chats about the divorce with our son, but ...
Mark Red Ribbon Week, fight drug use
"I am drug free" is the theme for this year's Red Ribbon Week, which is Oct. 23-31. The Red Ribbon Campaign, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, is the perfect opportunity for community members to unite and take a stand against substance abuse by wearing a red ribbon.
Procrastinating the day away
Perhaps the most beloved modern technology of the procrastinator is the snooze button. I usually push mine at least three times each morning before I finally feel obligated to roll out of bed.
Watch for taxes during retirement
Wouldn't it be nice if, after decades of hard work and saving, you could retire without worrying about paying taxes? Alas, that'll probably never happen.
The move South
My name is Lesley Francis and I am delighted to have been transplanted from green (or wet and grey) England to beautiful, sunny Richmond Hill.
Homecoming means more than king, queen
Autumn means cooler weather, football and homecoming. Although traditions vary by school, homecoming is usually associated with a football game. Homecoming week is exciting – it creates memories that last a lifetime.
Teasing others is sign of insecurity
Q: My 10-year-old daughter has been asking for a year now to shave her legs. So far I have said no, mainly because putting a razor in the hands of a 10-year-old doesn't seem safe. Though she is small for her age and not even close to starting puberty, her legs really are quite hairy and she gets teased about them sometimes. I don't want to promote vanity, but I hate to see her self-conscious ...
