By Sherry Pasquarello,Worldwidehippies - I know what Memorial Day is and what it stands for. Back in the day, schools taught actual civics classes. I’m not sure what passes for civics now a days. I’m also fairly certain that if you are a World Wide Hippies reader that you too know what this day stands for. I wish some of our congress critters knew (or cared).By Sherry Pasquarello,Worldwidehippies - I know what Memorial Day is and what it... more

I live in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is in Allegheny County and we have more bridges in the area than anywhere else, save Venice. We really do and most of them are badly in need of repair.I live in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is in Allegheny County and we have more bridges in... more

Just a few thoughts about, “dirty” words that came to me last night.
I was at a meeting last evening. We hold it once a month in the back room of a pub. So we do get a lot of the noise from the bar filter in when the place gets crowded. It’s funny, but the background noise is unintelligible till someone swears. It’s “fuzzafuzzafuzza,FUCK!”Just a few thoughts about, “dirty” words that came to me last night.

– I went to see my little granddaughter in her yearly dance recital. She loves to dance and for just turning 8 years old she is pretty good at tap. The important thing is that she loves doing it. She has fun.– I went to see my little granddaughter in her yearly dance recital. She loves... more

– Yeppers, I should have listened to my little inner voice this morning and just rolled over and pulled the sheet over my head and gone back to sleep. But, NO, being the good doggie mom that I am. I got up, dressed and took Max out like I do every morning. I grabbed the newspaper on the way back inside and after I fed Max and my kitties, Layla and Bob, I settled down with my coffee and Post- Gazette.– Yeppers, I should have listened to my little inner voice this morning and just... more

I was down at my friend’s pub this afternoon for a party and after things had started to quiet down (yes, it was a FUN party) I decided to put on my reporter hat and do a little impromptu field work. I got my little note pad out of my trusty canvas messenger bag and a pen ( The pen was almost out of ink and made me look less than serious, but…)I was down at my friend’s pub this afternoon for a party and after things had... more

A friend of mine stopped by the other day. I hadn’t seen him since last summer. He travels almost constantly for his job. When he is home he and his family spend as much time together as they can. I consider him a REALLY great guy. Not too many of those have been in my life. Not too many really great people in most people’s lives.A friend of mine stopped by the other day.

So, I did go and vote. No matter how much I may complain. I always vote. It was before lunch and there were only 3 other voters there. Even though I know the poll workers I had to dig out my wallet from my big canvas sack and show my I.D. they laughed and I had to chuckle myself only because I do know all of themSo, I did go and vote.

I had a really terrific article for tonight. Honest- I did. It was AMAZING! Trust me on this. Unfortunately, I didn’t jot down a note to myself after I framed the whole thing out in my mind. It went poof, like the old joke about Pierre’s mustache. Yes, it’s a risqué joke.I had a really terrific article for tonight. Honest- I did. It was AMAZING! Trust me... more

-Can we drop the titanic overblown subject of the Titanic? Yes, it was an awful thing and yes, naturally people were curious but for pity’s sake, let it rest in peace. It’s time to move on.-Can we drop the titanic overblown subject of the Titanic? Yes, it was an awful thing... more

Another dentist appointment today. Seems like I just had one. I go every 6 months for a cleaning and exam. Due to (pick one) genetics, medications or lousy luck- I have bone loss in my jaw.I have good dental hygiene- my dental assistant loves my hygiene and sympathizes about my bone loss. I used to have dental insurance.Another dentist appointment today. Seems like I just had one. I go every 6 months for... more

Last night was the end of the little scholarship committee from a small fraternal organization I belong to. I’m still feeling a little sad over that. It’s been running for 11 years and I’ve belonged through most of those years. The Ladies aux. will be taking it over in a smaller form and for that I am grateful.Last night was the end of the little scholarship committee from a small fraternal... more

Spring is here. The burgh looks fantastic. It’s more like late April or early May. Though, here in Pittsburgh we know not to breathe easy just yet. One of the biggest snowstorms we ever had was on a St. Patrick’s day. We had the parade anyway! That will tell you all you need to know about Pittsburgers.Spring is here. The burgh looks fantastic.

The Burgh’s Favorite Son????
If you out there think that you are sick to death of Santorum be grateful you don’t live here! Every time that walking perversion of the Catholic Church opens his mouth it’s on the damn news here. We kicked his ass out and we were thrilled to do it and now, NOW just because that fool has hoodwinked enough gullible people lil Ricky is on the T.V. news at every turn. He doesn’t have many fans. Even the right wing newspaper here owned by Scaife doesn’t like him but just because Santorum was from here, we are subjected to every idiotic and delusional rant. Talk about the media being run by hypocrites!The Burgh’s Favorite Son????
