Knight Pierce Hirst's Articles Display Category|Title|Newest|Oldest How Changeable Is Change? Change affects our lives in many ways. So what's changed? Are You Old Enough To Know Better? Aren't people who worry about their age old enough to know better? Are You Holding The Line? There are all kinds of lines. Frankly, just thinking about them causes lines in my forehead. Is It Music To Your Ears? Music is like frosting on the cake of life. Not everyone likes the same kind of music, but - hard as it os to believe - not everyone likes chocolate cake. What's Your Perspective On Perspective? Is it possible for our perspectives to change without us changing? Do You Get What You Pay For? When we're disappointed with a purchase, it's hard to believe we got what we paid for. I've gotten some expensive lessons in life. Are You Compulsive Or Just Highly Motivated? I don't think I'm compulsive about cleaning my kitchen. Some people think you are what you eat. I just think you are where you eat. Are You Losing Sleep Over It? Has lack of sleep become this century's sleeping sickness? How Many Makes A Collection? A man is known by the company he keeps - and the things he collects. Is Not Celebrating Birthdays A Birthright? Tired of celebrating birthdays? Buy some champagne and confetti and celebrate your very own New Year's Day. Are There More Dinosaurs? Plastic is replacing glass; but as it fills our dumps and leaches chemicals into our soil, the convenience of plastic has become a curse. It's changed our lives and soon it will change our language. We'll be wearing eyeplastics and serving beverages in drinking plastics. Can Being Right In Style Go Wrong? Part of looking good is thinking you look good. Unfortunately, more of us should look in mirrors. Fad backward is daf. Are They Dreams Or Messages? The most common dream is that our teeth are falling out. This dream reflects concern over our appearance or how others see us. These dreams mean we're experiencing a loss of power, a sense of inferiority or a lack of confidence. Maybe this is the most common dream because interpreting it gives us a lot to sink our teeth into. Doesn't Every Litter Bit Still Hurt? My grandmother didn't approve of the romance novels I read as a teenager. She called them trash novels. However, she had an even lower opinion of newspapers like the Star and the National Enquirer. She called them bird cage liners. Is Food For Thought Fattening? As a child, I was told I had to drink eight glasses of water a day. By third grade I'd figured out that was two quarts. Now experts have changed their minds. We don't have to drink that much water unless we want to float a loan. Does Good Luck Believe In You? Some people say you make your own luck. My grandmother disagreed. She said what you make is effort and the more effort you make, the luckier you'll be. Who Invented The Vent? From the beginning of time inventions have changed our lives. Take indoor plumbing, for example. If indoor plumbing hadn't been invented, we'd all be outsiders. Do You Know How To Speak Spa-Nish? My grandmother said beauty starts within. I hope she meant within the walls of "Spas R Us". Traveler's Checks ... And Balances? They say we are what we eat. If we eat what the locals eat when we travel, does that make us locals too? Who Put Decor In Decoration? I didn't put up Christmas decorations this year. Because we were going to be away, it seemed like too much work. Instead, I decorated myself with a smile. Do Mortgages Housebreak Us? According to my grandmother, a house is a house; but a home is what you make it. Unfortunately, she often followed those profound words with "and you can start by making your bed". Do They Make Electric Security Blankets? Every winter my electric blanket was my security blanket. Then a report said I was sleeping under a magnetic field that could make me sick - and that didn't sound like a field of dreams. To The Health With It? Getting enough sleep is important for our health. According to the National Sleep Foundation 100,000 car accidents are caused by sleep deprivation every year - but we're not meant to lose sleep worrying about it. When Do Strangers Stop Being Strange? My grandmother always told me that I could turn strangers into friends. Well, my grandmother would be proud of me. I turned a stranger into a husband. Do Open Houses Open Minds? When I had my first open house, I thought U should be there to answer questions. Not a good idea. Home is where the heart is - and where part of it will stay. Gadgets - Mechanical Or Maniacal Devices? Gadgets are a part of progress and I'm trying to progress too. If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we stop clocks from blinking 12:00 after power failures? Does Any Port In A Storm Include Airports? No weapons in carry-on luggage - fine; but I've had bruises on my shins that prove wheeled luggage is a weapon. I think wheeled luggage should have directional signals and break lights or airport police should give tickets for moving violations. Can People Be Winterized? I'm cold challenged. I used to live in New England. Every winter I dreaded the snow and ice and freezing wind chill factors. I don't understand why people stay there in the winter, but I may have figured out why the Smurfs are blue. What Makes The World Go Around? Judging by the line of cars at Starbuck's drive-in window, coffee makes the world go around. Sometimes the line of cars causes traffic problems, but that doesn't seem to bring the police around. Oh - no donuts. Can Errands Be Walked? I always have errands to do and there seems to be more every week. Maybe I've read too many books by Stephen King, but I wouldn't be surprised if my errands grew long ears and cotton-ball tails. Do You Watch Out For What's In? Because my grandmother wanted to give me what was in style, she gave me what girls in her neighborhood wore. When my grandmother's eyesight started to fail, she went to Plan B. She asked me what I wanted. That's always in fashion. Is Running Late Exercise? If the movie "Snow White" were made today, the seven dwarfs wouldn't sing "Whistle While You Work". Instead, Grumpy would have a solo. He'd sing, "Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think". Are We Programmed More Than TV? When we're driving and see a red light, we're programmed to stop. Those who don't are programmed to look in their rear-view mirrors for at least twenty seconds. Is Nostalgia A Sugar-Coated Memory? Last fall my husband and I took a trip back East. The tress were glowing in shades of yellow, orange and red. As a transplanted New Englander, I started to get nostalgic. Then I heard John say a four-letter word - rake. Are You Listed? I've reached the age where lists are a necessity. If I don't write things down, I forget them. Of course, this leads to another problem - remembering where I put the lists. Is Your Lifestyle Stylish? From childhood to adulthood, from marriage to career to family - my lifestyle keeps changing styles. Is It Advertising Or Adverteasing? If it says hardware on a sign, I know tools are sold there. I have no idea what's sold at West Coast Custom. Aren't signs meant to attract customers? If so, some signs needs "custom-er-izing". Is The Lesson In Patience Ever Over? Life is a lesson in patience. It's not a coincidence that doctors' waiting rooms are for "patients". No Saving Grace? According to a recent report, Americans have saved less than they have in seventy-two years. For many Americans save is one of THOSE four-letter words. Presents Or Presence Of Mind? It doesn't surprise me it only takes Santa one year to make presents for all the children in the world. It doesn't surprise me he can deliver all the presents in one night. What surprises me is he asks children what they want. Santa never had any children, did he? What Happened To The Lazy Days Of Summer? Is it my imagination or are we too busy to be lazy? Why Can't We Have Lots Of Best Friends? If you compare three friends, one of them is good, one is better and one is best. It doesn't sound fair, but it's grammatically correct. Is It Coincidence Marriage Contains The Words I Age? The secret to a happy marriage is to realize the for better part usually is and the for worse part is when you should be thinking about the for better part. Can Words Pollute The Air? What do pesticides, smog, candy and rumors have in common? They all cause pollution. Language Is Confusing - Why Aren't Green Grocers Green? If English wasn't my native language, I think it would be too hard to learn. The words too and to are two of the reasons. Sick Of Eating Healthy? Coffee's good for you, then it isn't. Eggs are good for you, then they're not. Eating their words can't be good for nutritionists. Who's The Weaker Sex? Although women don't play professional football or hit a golf ball as far or hit a tennis ball as hard as men do, I'm not sure women are the weaker sex. Why Do Alarm Clocks Have To Be Alarming? You often hear people say there's something they couldn't do without. Actually, there's a lot of things I'd like to do without. How Many Bad Habits Can A Good Person Have? I'm trying to increase my good habits. How am I doing? Not bad. Does Re-Gifting Make You Gifted? I don't understand why some people are against re-gifting. It's recycling merchandise without recycling money. Who Ordered The Mail Order Catalogs? I didn't order the carving set that looked like drumsticks from a kitchen catalog and I didn't order the curried almond stuffing mix from a gourmet catalog. When it came to mail order, I'd gone cold turkey - again. Is It A Hobby Or Therapy? Hobbies are meant to turn free time into productive pastimes. Some people collect coins. Others collect stamps. I'm going to collect time for a new hobby. Was The Hula Hoop An Original Idea? A hula hoop is a combination of the hula movement and a hoop. Is that an original idea? Maybe God had the only original idea. Is Chocolate Milk A Compromise In A Glass? Politics is one of the many things that requires compromise. Is that why some of our politicians have been caught in compromising positions? Who Invented Traffic? Traffic provides a place for people with no place to go an excuse for not going anywhere. Is It Spelled Vacation Or Vaca-Shun? I don't care how vacation is spelled, I just want one. I don't know if I want to get away from my house, my life or myself - the one I've seen in the mirror lately. I just want to get sway! Is Hurrying Stressful? I identify with the White Rabbit in "Alice In Wonderland". He scurried around yelling, "I'm late, I'm late - for a very important date". I hurry instead of scurry and every day on the calendar is an important date for me. Why Do People Behave Like That? Why do people act silly when a video camera is pointing at them. Do they know why? Do You Do Brunch? People go out for brunch for different reasons. For some it's a holiday celebration. For others it's a social occasion. For me it's - laziness. Do Clothes Horses Wear Polo Shirts? If clothes make the man, woman constantly remake themselves and teenagers should make amends. How Can You Be Too Old For Birthdays? If I didn't celebrate my birthday, wouldn't my parents be insulted? They celebrated when I was born. Aren't I expected to carry on the tradition? Do You Give Yourself Credit? There are plain credit cards and gold credit cards and platinum credit cards. There are credit cards that give you points for free gas and clothes and airline tickets. There's so much credit out there it's discreditable. Can You Weather The Storm? "If You Don't Like The Weather, Wait a minute" - that's a New England expression. However,I came to a point in my life when I couldn't wait for snow to go away. When Is It A Wine's Time? I don't understand the complexities of wine. I know if it's a white wine or a red wine, if it should be chilled or served at room temperature and if it tastes good. Wine tasting isn't rocket science Is Saying Please Inspirational Motivation? During different times in my life I've experienced different inspirational motivations. Now I'm wondering if my alarm clock qualifies as inspirational motivation. Who Knew Toothsome Meant Tasty? My grandmother used to say if you take your teeth for granted, you won't be taking them with you. Looking For Love In All The Wrong Places? As with everything else, love is found in the last place you look. What's most important is to keep looking until your expectations are surpassed. Tempted To Cruise Through Life? I love cruises. My husband doesn't. We compromised by going on a small ship cruise. However, our cabin was so small, compromising positions were almost impossible. Still Have Growing Pains? "Act your age". How many times did you hear that when you were growing up? If you act your age, does that mean you're grown up? Were The Good Old Days Better? I don't know if the good old days were better; but if I wait long enough, these will be the good old days. Are They Driving You Crazy? When I was learning how to drive, I was taught to share the road. No one else on the California freeways seems to have been taught that lesson. Can You Compare Apples And Oranges? "Another day, another dollar". "Time waits for no man". "The bigger they are, the harder they fall". These are adages or truisms, but how true are they? Ever Envy Rip Van Winkle? Nothing is as refreshing as a nap - well, nothing that's both free and good for you. When Is A Makeover Over? Having seen the miracles of makeovers on television and in magazines, I decided to have one. Unfortunately (or fortunately, as far as my husband was concerned), life has a way of unmaking makeovers. What Do You Want In A President? The best argument in favor of cloning is our need for a person worthy of being President. Where are George Washington and Abraham Lincoln when we really need them?

At first remodeling seems like a good idea. However, there's a lot of time after that to question that idea. Who Said Dogs Are Man's Best Friend? First they're your four-legged children, then playmates for your children, then companions to fill the empty nest. Pets are family. Do You Remember Your School Daze? "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times". I learned that quote from Dickens' Tale of Two Cities in high school. I thought the quote was about high school. Are You Running On Automatic? On vacation one day rolls into the next and I forget what day it is. Not it's happening when I'm not on vacation. Unfortunately, the days aren't rolling by. They are whizzing by. It's like I'm running on automatic, but my breaks don't work. How Old Is Your Car In People Years? There are advantages to driving an old car. It teaches you humility and patience.

Wouldn't it be nice if teenagers listened to talk radio. Then I could say, "Turn that damn thing up so I can hear myself think". What Kind Of Car Are You? If you like to look at flashy cars come to LA, but drive carefully. One of the explanations for the amount of car accidents in LA is that people are looking at all the flashy cars instead of looking where they're driving. Will Reading This Make You Lucky? When you're out of luck, how did you run out and where do you go to get more? Are You What You Eat? Food intolerances turn the word food - a word that evokes delicious memories - into one of those four-letter words used in bad taste. How Green Is Your Thumb? Not everyone has a green thumb. Even those who do have green thumbs don't always use them as well as they could. The Jolly Green Giant used to advertise tiny, green peas. To Join Or Not To Join? I didn't start life as a joiner. I didn't intend to be a joiner. Somehow life caught up with me. Who Carries The Beach Umbrella? The beach is a sandbox for adults. We bring toys and take home sand in our clothes.

When it comes to cameras, I want to be out of the picture. Does It Have Your Stamp Of Approval? The U.S. Postal Service leaves a lot to be desired. If the government had been required to notify us by mail about the increased cost of mailing a letter, we'd still be paying thirty-nine cents. Why Is Mother's Day Only Once A Year? I think Mother's Day is the right day to ask this question. After giving the gift of life to your child, is a simple, little thank you every day too much to ask?
