Ryan Teague Beckwith, Staff Writer
RALEIGH - L.F. Eason III gave up the only job he'd ever had rather than lower a flag to honor former U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms.
Eason, a 29-year veteran of the state Department of Agriculture, instructed his staff at a small Raleigh lab not to fly the U.S. or North Carolina flags at half-staff Monday, defying a directive sent to all state agencies by Gov. M… Continue

If We Are to be a Nation of Whiners, We Should be Number One!
What steps do we need, what people in positions of authority, do we need?
We know who our real world class whiners are. Folks who really do have it good and yet find something to whine about where there is no possible harm to be done.
Yes, we are talking about those folks who wage the war against gay marriage.
Come on, whiners, give it up fo… Continue

see you around the blogsphere!
Some family members once took in an injured bird. Although their efforts were valiant, the bird succumbed to its injuries and left this world both loved and cared for. When all were questioning how we could properly give our late family member a proper send-off, I courageously volunteered to bury the bird in a private spot in our small backyard. All were thankful for my wise and comforting offer of services. So, in the early afternoon hours, I laid our friend to rest and said a private farewell.
Being a generally care-free and irresponsible young adult, my gal and I decided to head out for the rest of the afternoon without telling anyone where we were going or when we'd be back. This was the same day my poor dear late mother was planning a picnic dinner with siblings, assorted family members and their associated significant others. Upon our return, just in time to sit down for dinner, my mother laid into me about how unthoughtful I was not to let her know when we would be returning, if it would be in time for dinner or why we couldn't at least help her with getting it all ready. I looked at her and said, "I figured you knew we'd be back in time to eat. And everyone else here could help you get it ready. And besides . . . I did bury the bird today."
My mother quickly forgave all unthoughtfulness. Playing the bird card was, indeed, a stroke of genius. However, my super-wise girlfriend stood there in gape-mouthed amazement as she witnessed one of the grand "poor me" manipulations set in motion by her soon-to-be husband. The only problem now is that, to this day, whenever I attempt to initiate another self-pitying whine, she is quick to shoot back, "Waa, waa, ya buried the bird today."
The good thing is, we have a house filled with animals. I'm a patient whiner, Bob.
