COLUMN: Unlikely partners team up for worthy cause
Column as I see ’em …
You probably didn’t see this coming.
The Anderson News and the fiscal court have teamed up (hard to believe, I know) in an effort to promote the county’s ever-improving recycling effort.
On Dec. 20, our Monday paper (The Anderson News Extra) will include a flyer spelling out all of the times, dates, etc., to have your recyclables alongside the road.

COLUMN: To give and to receive
One of my best friends recently became a mother, and I, along with our other friends, am completely smitten with her beautiful daughter, Cecelia.
I wanted to get baby CeCe a gift for Christmas, and ended up settling on an ornament her parents can love now and she can appreciate in the future. It is personalized to serve as a memento of her first Christmas.

COLUMN: All of the signs point to a cold winter
Brrrrrrrr, and double brrrrrr. Baby, it’s cold outside. Even Spanky’s wearing a coat. Spanky is my only shorthaired dog and she loves to wear her faux leather, fur-lined coat. Go figure. I love to wear my long underwear.
Dressing in layers is about the only way to stay warm as winter settles in for a few months. Keeping your head and chest warm is key. You lose up to 90 percent of your body heat through the top of your head. If these temperatures continue, I’ll have more layers than an onion by the time spring rolls round.

COLUMN: Unexpected inspiration
Sometimes inspiration hits you in a way you least expect it.
To my surprise, this was exactly the case on Tuesday afternoon.
There is no need to get into grand detail, but I would like to publicly thank Ms. Georgia Kennerly for her very kind and much appreciated thank you card.
I agree with you in hoping that someone somewhere will benefit from last week’s column.
Actually that is my hope every week.

COLUMN: Consider your talents when deciding on gifts
Christmas is creeping up on us and I know many of you have not quite finished your shopping.
Money and time may be factors and I’m here to give you a few inexpensive ideas for gifts from the heart.
You’re on your own for finding the time.
Handmade gifts can range from third-grader art projects to museum quality items, depending on your talent and, just like in gardening, some folks have a black thumb. While I can’t draw or paint, and my woodworking skills resemble a Lincoln Logs meets Superglue disaster, I can cook.

COLUMN: Hatch Act violation? Look somewhere else
Here’s why fools should stick to the business of being fools and leave the serious work to those who know how to do it.
Following the general election, I used this space to blow off steam about those who placed what amounted to garbage in our drop box in an effort to anonymously smear a candidate for judge-executive.
From personal financial documents to outrageous claims about his private life, these people were looking for someone to do their dirty work, apparently for fear of soiling the reputations of their chosen candidate.

COLUMN: How common is courtesy?
What is common courtesy? Well, I can tell you what it’s not.
A little over a week ago, I was approached by one of our readers who was particularly riled up about customers who don’t tip appropriately at restaurants.
Readily admitting that she wasn’t a nice person and saying I could most likely approach the issue with more tact than she would, she suggested I write a column about common courtesy. The little things people do that should get noticed, she said.

COLUMN: Waiting for Tea Partiers to burn their social security cards
A big shout out to all my liberal Democrat friends in Anderson County who voted in this last election.
There must be what, at least four or five of us now? Band together, brothers and sisters. Don’t lose hope.
But we have to give it to the Republicans, however. They certainly know how to make themselves look good, and have no apologies for any blunders.
