I happened to be in a ritzy part of Nashville a few
weeks ago. I already knew it was a ritzy section of
town, but it was reinforced when I saw the cleaning lady
pushing her cart off the elevator. She had all the
cleaning trappings, tools, etc… and, hanging off
the side of her head was a […]
In this edition of Southern Speak you’ll learn how to use
the phrases a) “Fine as frog hair” (pronounced Frawg Hair),
and b) “draw back a bloody nub.”
a) Let’s say that you’re eating one of your favorite meals

It’s very apparent that my daughters enjoyed their Thanksgiving fishing
trip with their granddad. I walked in the den the other day found them
fishing from our couch. They had tied a string to a broom handle, tied
our dog’s nylon bone to the other end, and were fishing for him. They

Nutshell News will be an on-going blog of combining all of todays news into a mish-mash of pontifications. I’ll be doing something that I do quite often…Speculating on things that I know very little about.

Let’s see where this goes. I’d like to introduce myself. From now on I will be known as Job’s cousin Jim. Where to begin? How about a guy who loves to give, always tries to have a smile on his face no matter what the situation. Helps his fellow man, allows […]

I was stretching one day, laying flat on my back with my legs up and feet together in the air. My 3 year old, being so doggone cute walked by, stopped, looked at my feet and said, “Hello, Mr. Giraffe.” Something told me that day that she’d have quite an imagination. And she does!

He said, “What do you mean?”

My sweet little niece is going through the early stages of puberty. My mom said she had started acting up a little, being very moody, crying and all, and not really keeping up in school. Which is unlike her. An aunt, who lives with her was concerned one day when my niece had […]
“The thing crumped right up.” My cousin’s husband was not referring to the dance – he was talking about a car that he could not get to crank… that is until my uncle, who apparently had the “good wrench” touch came along and did his magic. Then all was right with the world again. […]
