Sparkling Spider Webs Creepy crawly spiders are a Halloween classic, but no spider display is complete without a spectacular web.

I went some places today, and in both places, there were people talking about the government. Not about the shutdown which is what you would expect they would be yammering about. No, what they were talking about was Big Pharma’s hold on the government. This was two different groups of people, but the subject was the same. It was about vaccinations and how nobody trusts them to help us. One subject was about how we are vaccinating our children and they seem to be having adverse reactions to th...

Note: from the Salvation Army

2025/10/29

With the end of October coming quickly and our government still not able to agree on anything, our neighbors receiving SNAP, EBT, and WIC are wondering how they will eat. I’ve seen many, many shaming and blaming but I haven’t seen many at all that are truly concerned about whether or not children, disabled, or the elderly will have food. Ask yourself:What can I do to help? 1. Donate to a local food pantry. Many already have plenty of canned vegetables. Donate dry beans, rice, tuna, Spam, cann...

The price of losing accountability

Thomasville Times ·

2025/10/29

A coworker and I were talking the other day about something she read on Facebook, a post in a parent group for one of our local school systems. A parent was fussing about a teacher, saying her child got in trouble for something she didn’t do and, of course, according to the parent, it was all the teacher’s fault. That conversation led us to talk about how people are quick to jump to conclusions and blame someone else in today’s society. Accountability seems to have become a lost art. The disc...

Superstitions are part of living in the South

Thomasville Times ·

2025/10/29

Superstitions are something we all grew up with to some degree, especially in the South. Superstitions are part folk tale, part oral history and a part of each of our day to day lives. The little superstitions the majority of us participate in are almost out of habit because we were told to do them and we still do them without even thinking about why. A close family friend, Katie, always warned me that should I continue to leave my purse sitting on the floor I would “always be broke,” and if ...

Remembering Shorty Price

2025/10/15

We are in the beginning of the governor’s race year. It would not be a gubernatorial year without harkening back and remembering ole Shorty Price. Alabama, in bygone days, would have a slew of what I called “run for the fun of it” candidates. They would run knowing full well they did not have a snowball’s chance to win but they made it a fun show. By far, the most colorful of these perennials, “also-ran” candidates, was William Ralph “Shorty” Price. Shorty was born and raised in Barbour Count...
