1) AIG - Educated People Doing Uneducated Things by Mary Alice Everhart Added: Sep 17th, 07:33

AIG bailout. AIG? American International Group Inc. is an insurance company, one of the largest in the world and its financial stability is affected by their investment in mortgage-related securities.

WHOA NELLY !

It doesn’t make any sense to me though hard as I try, I suspect it never will. It’s not that I am too old to learn, it’s more likely that I am unwilling. It’s TMI (too much information) and would take a significant amount of effort – more than I am willing to put forth -... More about: AIG - Educated People Doing Uneducated Things

2) Wood worked with you in mind - Custom Furniture by Bourgeois Furniture by Mary Alice Everhart Added: Sep 8th, 06:40

If you thought the days of handmade furniture were gone then you are sadly mistaken. Right here in our very own Eastern Panhandle we have a father and son team of true blue cabinetmakers. Furniture and cabinet making is a fine art, a skill some might think was lost long ago.

Not so my friends. This is not IKEA, Home Depot or Lowes. If you are that cookie cutter sort, then Bourgeois Furniture, Cabinets and More is probably not for you. If you are intrigued, however, just by walking... More about: Wood worked with you in mind - Custom Furniture by Bourgeois Furniture

3) Who you gonna call? Poop Troopers! by Mary Alice Everhart Added: Aug 15th, 09:01

PoopTroopers? Seriously. Is there too much poop in your backyard? Are you tired of picking up all that dog doodoo? Would you prefer the kids didn’t have to high step it to the swing set or back gate? If you ever have a mind to contract out any chore, this may be the one to consider. Mel Allen, a panhandle resident for 15 years was visiting his sister out West last year when he saw a sign for “POOP MARSHALL – HUSTLE THEM TURDS OUT OF TOWN.” Do I hear you laugh? Hold on. I ask that you maintain... More about: Who you gonna call? Poop Troopers!

4) What Makes You Go AUGHGH? by Mary Alice Everhart Added: Aug 5th, 07:42

Is it -

the ads for the news telling you they will tell you the news at 11? Couldn’t they just tell us something now?

Like why are all grocery carts made with one bad wheel? Please – somebody go into the grocery cart wheel repair business. I know someone works on improving these things since there are now ‘pint size’ carts. These were brought in to maintain occupancy levels. They allow room for more kid friendly ‘jumbo size’ carts. Do you think they’ll be redesigning the displays... More about: What Makes You Go AUGHGH?

5) This little piggy went to market. by Mary Alice Everhart Added: Jun 27th, 14:08

The weather is warm – okay HOT again – the berries are ripe and the good news is someone else has already picked them. I do remember going to the strawberry patch as a child and plucking ripe ones myself. It is a fond childhood memory. Of course I was maybe 2 feet tall which meant there wasn’t much bending over to do. Plus I have absolutely no memory of the heat nor of any bugs about my face. This validates what I am firm believer of. That is that “everything changes.” Nowadays ‘round here if... More about: This little piggy went to market.

6) The 2008 West Virginia Senior Women's Amateur by Mary Alice Everhart Added: Jun 18th, 19:29

The WV Senior Women’s Amateur played at The Woods Resort these past two days is now history. Ken Tackett, Executive Director of the West Virginia Golf Association (WVGA), may have said it best when he said very matter of factly,
“Caroline [Ramsey] is unbelievable! She knows how to get it in the hole. She puts it in play, puts it on the green, then two putts. She doesn’t try to force anything. She has been there and she knows what to do.”

Sounds like a statement fit for Tiger Woods... More about: The 2008 West Virginia Senior Women's Amateur

7) West Virginia Women’s Senior Amateur tournament being held at The Woods by Mary Alice Everhart Added: Jun 17th, 20:04

It’s “game on” at The Woods Resort Mountain View golf course in Hedgesville. Three women are tied for the lead after the first round of play at the West Virginia Women’s Senior Amateur tournament.

What? How much fun is that? Well, I can testify as a witness that if it’s anything, it is fun. I spoke with some of these women last night and I’m not sure if anyone else in the state is having as good a time as the 70 ladies competing in this event were. And that’s exactly why they do it. To... More about: West Virginia Women’s Senior Amateur tournament being held at The Woods

8) Looking for a Good Sandwich? by Mary Alice Everhart Added: May 1st, 08:37

I have always been envious of people living in the city for their easy access to any number of cafes with delicious deli sandwiches albeit a club sandwich, Italian or meatball sub, maybe even a good ole’ hot Reuben or the classic favorite – steak & cheese. It was this envy that has sparked my desire to find out if any of those sandwiches were available nearby. While Quiznos, Subway, and many other chain delicatessens have reasonably good sandwiches, my search is for the less famous sandwich... More about: Looking for a Good Sandwich?

9) Coming Soon!!! by Mary Alice Everhart Added: Apr 3rd, 06:02

COMING SOON !!!

What do you think it is? I’ll bet you don’t guess this one correctly. Did you say Bank or possibly another development of new homes? I certainly would have. It appears that every new building going up is either a bank or a house – and a BIG bank building or a BIG house with lots of other big houses beside it. And I don’t understand that at all. For one – I keep reading in the headlines and hearing on the news all this talk about foreclosures, mortgage delinquencies,... More about: Coming Soon!!!

10) Hedgesville Comes Alive by Mary Alice Everhart Added: Mar 3rd, 06:43

I attended a high school in a small town that gained national recognition as being halfway between Monkeys Eyebrow and Possum Trot. No kidding! Our doctor shared this little fact with the world on David Letterman. No one really knows where that halfway point is exactly but it was worthy of national TV. That was a time when we laughed with others and were less likely to take offense at every slight. It was a time and an area where dogs roamed free, summoned home for dinner by the ringing of a...
