Wild Cards! – May 9, 2016
Krazy Pic A real money-saver, eh? 🙂 See KP.May9 Fake Obituaries What adult in their 20’s listens to his/her parents? This ‘knows what’s best’ mother tried a unique approach.

Math is not a Four-Letter Word! – 4/25/16
Is 0 (Zero) Even, Odd, Neither, or Both? (and more) One of the most common ‘stumpers’ to the average student, future teacher, or ‘man on the street’ seems to be “Is 0 Even or Odd?” I used to get the question all the time – still do, occasionally. Let’s settle it once and for all…

Wild Cards! – 4/25/16
Krazy Pic There seems to be a discrepancy here 🙂 – and a rather large one at that? See KrPic.4.25 Joke of the Week Good news/bad news for the minister! See Golf.Joke. Towing a Plane? I looked out the window and saw a plane. Not unusual, except – I was looking at the Lake!! Not sure what…
