BTTY BitesNo.1 - “It's the commotion the mind makes about life that really causes problems.” - Michael SingerNo. 2 - “If you can't decide, the answer is no.” - Naval RavikantNo. 3 - “Process saves us from the poverty of our intentions.” - Elizabeth KingMaybe process saves us from the poverty of our actions? A ThoughtWhat Do You Call the Space Between Raindrops? A book I was reading the other day asked that question. Let's come back to that.I love rain. Well, that's not the truth. Sometimes I don't love it. But I do love it under a covered porch with a cup of coffee and a good friend as we sit quietly and enjoy. Or during an afternoon nap or when it falls on old brown, crunchy leaves. I love it in the distance - a squall heading our way or some other way. I love it because it turns things green, gives the city a bath, and makes those mud puddles I used to play in as a kid. I even loved warm rain on patrol when everything gets quiet. And that post-rain smell. That's special. It turns out we have a name for that.Petrichor (PE-tri-kor) is that distinctive earthy smell. It's a relatively new term coined by two Australian researchers. It combines the words "petra" (stone) and "ichor" (the fluid that was supposed to flow in the veins of the Greek gods).Rhinos and Other Rh WordsAnother word I like is rhinoceros. I like the animal more than the word but mostly because I struggle to spell it. Rhinos are big, tough, and nimble (they can run up to 35 MPH). Southern white rhinos are social and form "crashes." How perfect is that? It's a group of 4-5 females and their calves. The calves play and "crash," which helps develop social skills and strength. The females back each other up against aggressive males. They will show genuine distress when a crash member is injured or ill and stand guard until they recover. It's thought that the crash is one of the reasons that the southern white rhino has been able to make a comeback. It's basically like having a handful of tank-sized bodyguard friends.Rhyme is another word I struggle to spell. Rhythm, no vowel. Wild. I guess the Y counts—Rhubarb, oh rhubarb. Gramma used to have a rhubarb bush. We'd break off a piece and take it inside, and she would slide a small dish with white sugar across her plastic tablecloth. I'd spend the next 15 minutes crunching and puckering away. My mouth waters just thinking about that.Rhetoric has a negative connotation in modern language. Maybe it shouldn't. It's a solid word. Rhombus - You probably remember what this is. I didn't. It's a special shape where all four sides are equal in length, opposite angles are equal, opposite sides are parallel, and diagonals bisect each other at right angles. Think playing card diamond. A square is a special rhombus.Why all the Rh words?No reason. I like Rhinos and realized there might not be many other Rh words. So I wrote this for myself. Because usually, when I write here, I hedge. I think about who will read it, what they might think, and what that will all mean. A part of that is my ego. How will this impact what they think of me?I like collecting ahas. They give me energy. Those lessons, I think, give me a better view of the world—maybe a little more truth or reality. I believe that if we learn something, we should share it. I try translating an 'aha' I've had into something you find helpful. Teaching it also helps us understand it more deeply.Also, the process is energizing. There is something finished at the end—I did something. It's like going for a run. It doesn't matter what happens that day—you did that run. The energy also comes from knowing that while most people don't say anything, I know something resonates occasionally. I'll get a message or a text from someone I didn't know was here, and they ask a question, say thank you, or sometimes say something much deeper. Something I said mattered to them at the right time. Those keep me writing publicly.Finally, and this is a new understanding thanks to Princess Buttercup, maybe my kids will read some of this one day and find it helpful.Dancing Between RaindropsFor a long time, Princess Buttercup and I have urged the kids to be rhinos—dancing rhinos. A big, nimble dinosaur-looking “joy mud” splattered thing standing on tip-toes in a pink tutu dancing between raindrops. When things get hard, sometimes you have to dance between the raindrops. Find your crash and dance. We always feel better after dancing (another PB lesson).I'm going to work to write more authentically in the future. I know I won't always, but I'll try. It might mean that some of you don't stay, think less of me, or some other BS story I'm telling myself. That's okay. I'll be over here in my pink tutu and, with my crash, working on what we work on.Be good.KellyPS - did you know rhinos have three toes on each foot? Fascinating. This is a public episode.

BTTY BitesNo.1 - “A common cause of time wasters is largely under the executive's control and can be eliminated by him. That is the time of others he himself wastes.” - Peter DruckerNo. 2 - “People are motivated by one of two things: Either avoiding loss or acquiring potential gain.” - Phil JonesNo. 3 - Did you know that woodpeckers have tongues? I mean really long tonguges. I took about 1,600 photos of this woodpecker the other day and this shot of his tongue (it is male) made me do some research. It's so long it wraps around the back of his head. He kept at this tree until he broke it in half. Just wild. A ThoughtTomatoes.I think about tomatoes. A lot.Yes, they are technically fruits, but did you know that an 1893 Supreme Court case ruled that tomatoes should be taxed as vegetables? Also, tomatoes were first domesticated by the Aztecs, who called them by a name that meant “plump thing with a navel.” I love that. I also love eating tomatoes, growing tomatoes, and sharing tomatoes. I have Grandad to thank for that.He had a bit of a garden patch - probably a couple of acres of garden, actually. Well plowed and lined with all the vegetables. It was the tomatoes I liked best. We would pick a handful, put them in his old beat-up thick plastic bucket with a rope handle, and drive back to his garage on his small tractor-mower. Sometimes, you'd find me on his lap, trying to drive. Other times, I'd be tucked into the corner of the plywood trailer he towed.Up over a hill, along the fence line, and then down to the garage. He built that garage himself. There was a penny he tucked behind a translucent rock that glimmered when the sun was just right. We'd park next to his big tractor and take in the combined smell of gasoline and cut crass. He'd get me over to his workbench and lift me up. It was always a bit of a mess, strewn with the detritus of actual work. He'd reach for the salt, slice into the unwashed tomato, sprinkle a little salt, and pop it in his mouth - I can still see the edge of his mouth as he grinned. I now imagine he was smiling at something more than the tomato. Then a slice for me. We'd both start nodding. Behind us, through the unfinished 2x4 window frame, his two steers wandered in the ‘north forty.'Success?My grandfather was, at least from what I saw, a great man. He retired as a Colonel from the US Army, was married for 65 years, went to war three times, and retired to a small community in the mountains, where he spent 30 years donating his time to improving that community. That's not what made him great to me. It added to the mystique, but not what I think about today. He makes me think about success.I'm not quite sure what success is, but when people ask me what it means to me, I talk about a little green hill with little people running around. My fondest memories were on that hill we drove over in his little blue tractor. Up until December of 2007, there were two doting grandparents. The kind that eat unwashed tomatoes, play frisbee, and teach you how to make jello. Or the ones that take you to pick fresh blackberries on the fence line and make blackberry jam together - all while she implored me not to get blackberry on my new shirt. One year, Gramma sat me next to the window overlooking the garage to tell me a story. It was close to Halloween, and it was a ghost story. Then, in the distance, a ghost darted over the crest of that little hill. That was Grandad with a sheet over his head. Amazing. At least it was amazing to that six-year-old.Discipline?So success to me is being that for someone. Maybe it's grandkids if we are lucky, maybe not. A little green hill with Princess Buttercup, a community, a small patch to tend, and humans to love. There is a path that I need to take to get there and it has me thinking about discipline. A lot. So, I asked myself: What does discipline really mean? Here's what I came up with.Controlling your desire for something now for something you desire more, later.Whether your success is a green hill, another zero in your bank account, or something else, it will take discipline. If I want to run with that sheet over my head down our hill one day, I have to be here still and be able to move as nimbly as the Colonel could at 70. When my alarm goes off, I want to stay in bed, but I go for a run. That's discipline. Or willpower. Or whatever. I don't always win that battle, but I try to remember what's important. It's a green hill. It's tomatoes. It's raising baby chicks. It's being there for their wedding, being there for their losses, and trading something I desire now for something I want more later.Desire is a strong word, and I'm using it intentionally. Some desires are clear, like fresh tomatoes in summer. Others grow quietly and hidden, like weeds. Discipline is not just about control—it's about paying attention to what is pulling you. If we don't watch what's growing in our garden, we won't know what to weed and what to water.That's what I'm thinking about this week. I hope you're good. Be good. And let's find that hill.Kelly This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit kellyvohs.substack.com

Young George is left alone with his ailing Gramma and starts to piece together that she's may be a legit danger to him. What's up with all those occult books, Gramma? This creepy King short story was published in Skeleton Crew and has been on the minds of King readers ever since.
Grandmother's house is supposed to be a place of warmth and comfort, but in this episode, we explore a family home that holds more than just memories. Strange occurrences begin after Gramma passes—seashells move by themselves, doors close on their own, and the unmistakable scent of her perfume lingers in the air. At first, the family believes it's Gramma watching over them, but as the activity escalates, they start to question whether it's her at all. Could there be other spirits lurking in the house, or is Gramma's spirit not as benevolent as they first thought? This episode uncovers the layers of a family haunting that goes deeper than anyone realized.

Pontos de encontro entre Edgar Allan Poe e Stephen King; o episódio trata da narrativa de King mais próxima da literatura clássica de seu país, e fechamos o volume "Tripulação de Esqueletos" com menções honrosas a "Gramma", "Mrs. Todd's shortcut" e "The Reach".

With special guest Longinus, the boys drink and review Southern Tier's Pumking Imperial Pumpkin Ale, then discuss five stories by the master of horror. After a brief bio on King, they review ... The Jaunt -- King presents a futuristic story where teleportation, or "jaunting," allows instant travel but comes with a terrifying caveat: while the physical body arrives safely, the mind remains conscious in a timeless, endless void during the journey. When a young boy defies the rules and jaunts while awake, the horrifying consequences reveal the true nightmare of experiencing eternity alone. The Raft -- Four college students, two men and two women, take a late-year visit to a lake where they hope to swim out to the raft that's used by the summer visitors. They run into an unexpected visitor. Survivor Type -- a disgraced surgeon stranded on a deserted island resorts to extreme measures to survive, including self-amputation and cannibalism. The story, presented through the character's journal entries, reveals a descent into madness as he makes horrifying sacrifices in a desperate struggle for life. Gramma -- a young boy named George is left alone to care for his ailing, bedridden grandmother, whose dark and supernatural powers begin to reveal themselves in terrifying ways. As the night progresses, George's fear escalates as he realizes his grandmother harbors a sinister secret that threatens his safety. The Reach -- elderly Stella Flanders faces her fear of crossing the frozen stretch of water separating her island home from the mainland, drawn by visions of deceased loved ones calling her to the other side. As she traverses the ice, Stella experiences a haunting journey that blends life and death, ultimately finding peace in accepting her fate.
Join me as I chat with Dr. Sherrie Campbell. You may think you know Dr. Sherrie and her list of stellar accomplishments, such as her recent TEDx talk (not all parents are good), flourishing therapy practice, groundbreaking podcast (sherapy sessions: cutting ties with toxic family), and the collection of books she has written, (including her most recent, "Adult Survivors of Emotionally Abusive Parents.") (And to think she is just getting started!) But just wait until you hear how she describes herself!!! One of the things that makes Dr. Sherrie so special is that she's just like us, a survivor of a toxic family, and on this no-contact journey with us. Her wisdom and relatability is a beacon of hope for so many.

Heartbreaking and horrific scams are targeting Wisconsin seniors, especially in rural areas of the state where seniors are more isolated from daily news and conversation. Through no fault of their own, grandparents and other seniors are a target for expert thieves. They may have a substantial nest egg, use the telephone more, or receive benefits, such as Medicare and Social Security. Scams are not only financially devastating, but they can be emotionally taxing on an entire family. Michelle Reinen, administrator for the Division of Trade and Consumer Protection at DATCP has the details on "The Grandparents Scam," "The Romance Scam," and the "Imposter Scams," that prey on our oldest generations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Le relazioni d'amore nel senso ampio del termine sono al centro della raccolta di racconti "Legami" di Eshkol Nevo, scrittore israeliano autore di romanzi come "La simmetria dei desideri" e "Tre piani" da cui Nanni Moretti aveva tratto un film. Anche in questa raccolta di venti racconti (Gramma - traduz. Raffaella Scardi) come capita spesso nelle opere di Nevo si parla di relazioni uomo-donna, genitori-figli, tradimenti e amicizia. Un elemento che spicca è il tempo: ci sono amici che non si vedono da tanti anni, c'è una donna che ha abbandonato il figlio a sei mesi e lo rivedede dopo quindici anni, c'è un uomo accanto al padre che sta per morire e che quindi non ha più tempo. In molti racconti si vede come il tempo ha inciso sulle vite dei personaggi.
In todays episode we take a look at the garage rock band "Gramma" and talk about their influences as a band.

In molti racconti si vede come il tempo ha inciso sulle vite dei personaggi. Nella seconda parte parliamo di "Trudy" (Einaudi), nuovo romanzo di Massimo Carlotto. In primo piano Gian Antonio Farina, ex commissario di polizia, a capo di un'agenzia privata che si occupa di sicurezza: è un personaggio scivoloso, ambiguo e determinato. I suoi soci lo chiamano "il grigio", per i dipendenti è "il dottore". Coordina varie attività di security fra cui il controllo di una donna, Ludovica Baroni, moglie di un noto commercialista scomparso da alcune settimane. Qualcuno ha interesse a controllarla per scoprire se il marito si rifarà vivo con lei. Un romanzo in cui si mette a fuoco un intreccio fra politica, impresa e malaffare e in cui i protagonisti si dividono fra veri manipolatori, sono freddi e calcolatori, e manipolatori dilettanti.
Charlene Graham wrote a children's book inspired by time spent along the shore in Schooner Pond with her oldest grandchild. The book details the experience of the five senses as they explore beside the ocean together.
Easter night, millions of Americans tuned in to Jesus, this was actually several years ago when "The Bible" miniseries was on cable TV. Except this time, "A.D. - The Bible Continues" was on a major network. I was one of those millions who was watching on Easter, plunged into the world-changing events of that first Good Friday and Easter. I couldn't help but connect it to a touching Facebook post I saw on Good Friday about a bookstore visit that a dear Native American friend had with her young grandson - who she calls "Handsome." Handsome spotted a painting that really got his attention. It was Jesus nailed to the cross. He went straight to it and he said "with passion" in his voice, his grandma said, "Gramma look! Can we buy it? It's the last one. If we don't buy it, someone else will get it!" Here's what our friend wrote: "Today is Good Friday, the day Jesus died on the cross for me. How could I not buy the picture for Handsome?" Well, I'll tell you, that picture of that little boy hugging that painting is tattooed in my mind. It occurred to me that the little guy was onto something. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Your Personal A.D." You know what I think that little boy had? I think he had the idea that you need to make Jesus yours while you can. Not because there's a limited supply, but because that ultimate spiritual opportunity won't always be there. Jesus described that opportunity this way in Revelation 3:20, "Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear My voice and open the door, I will come in." If I hadn't already "opened the door" to Jesus, I think watching that TV reminder of His awful death might just have done it. Looking there and realizing that the price He paid to rescue me from the death penalty for what I've done against Him; for my sins. In the Bible's words, "He loved me and gave Himself for me" (Galatians 2:20). I suspect a lot of us have felt that knock on the door, that tugging in our heart maybe many times. But just like that little Native boy realized, it's important to grab Jesus while you can, because we never know when our heart is going to beat for the last time. And we'll suddenly be on the brink of eternity. Or because we have reached the spiritual point of no return. There is one the Bible calls the "Hardening of your heart." Ignoring Jesus' knock so many times you just don't hear Him anymore. The Bible has this warning and it is our word for today from the Word of God. It is from Hebrews 4:7. And who knows, it might have your name on it today. "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts" (Hebrews 4:7). You know, there seems to be one other especially disturbing way that we can miss Jesus; one that can make postponing Jesus life's biggest mistake. "Call on Him while He is near," the Bible says (Isaiah 55:6). Which suggests He won't always be near. Jesus said, "No one can come to Me unless the Father...draws them to Me" (John 6:44). I've got to come to Jesus, not when I'm ready, but when He's ready. When I "hear His voice." If you feel that tugging, if you hear His voice inside, He's ready. It's time! You say, "Ron, I've never gotten this settled. Let's get this done today. Would you reach out with all the faith you can and say, "Jesus, I'm yours." Would you tell Him that in your heart? Tell Him that out loud if you choose. I would urge you to come to our website. It is all about securing your personal relationship with Jesus and thus securing your eternity. It's ANewStory.com. Please check it out. I remember the day I heard that voice and I opened the door. It changed my life forever and my eternal destination; moving from the emptiness of life without Jesus to the amazingness of life with Him. And moving from B.C. - before Christ, without Christ - to my personal "A.D."

Gramma got a little handsy at Disney World.
Maida McQuinn Sugrue is from Ballymac. She moved to Chicago at the age of 19, where she lives to this day. She recently published her memoir, which was inspired by her grandchildren asking her about her story of crossing the sea. She is a talented traditional musician, and she was a student of Slaibh Luachara legend, Pádráig O’Keeffe.
Jane was the last child to receive a handmade blanket from her great grandmother. Pink and blue, festooned with angels and sprinkled with stars that sparkled in the light, the much-loved blanket was the little girl's constant companion. This childhood treasure became even more important when Gramma Ann passed away—a reminder of her love for her family, and her faith in God. Jane's blanket kept her warm in sickness and in health, but the washing machine proved its eventual undoing. One day, the last remaining fragment of Gramma Ann's very last blanket was lost. Ephesians 2:8–9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” A few years after the remaining bit of Jane's ‘Gramma Ann Blankie' was lost to time (but not to memory), her mom stumbled across the best yard sale find of all time: the very same blanket, likely created from a quilting kit, in brand new condition. Jane and her mother cried together right there in a stranger's driveway, certain that Gramma was smiling down on them from Heaven in that moment of discovery. It was the best two dollars the pair ever spent. Grace can show up when we least expect it—even in the form of a long-lost family heirloom returned to us in the unlikeliest of ways. Let's pray. Lord, your grace is a constant delight. You are faithful to us when we seek Your face, and Your gift of grace shows up in incredible ways. Thank you. In Jesus' name, amen.

The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center's Latino Bookstore, as part of the Texas Author Series, welcomes Dr. Carmen Tafolla as she presents and reads from her latest book WARRIOR GIRL! Tony Diaz, El Librotraficante and Literary Curator for the GCAC's Latino Bookstore, hosts the Texas Author Series every second Friday of the month. Carmen talks about the book, it's representation, and how this novel is defying the books bans occurring now and reads several poems from the book. Her book, published through Penguin Random House, is available through various online stores but also at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center's Latino Bookstore and makes an excellent addition to your family library, public library, and underground library. Carmen Tafolla is the 2015 State Poet Laureate of Texas and the former president of the Texas Institute of Letters. An award-winning poet and children's author, storyteller, performance artist, motivational speaker, scholar, and university professor, she is the author of more than forty books and a professor emeritus of Transformative Children's Literature at @UTSA. Her numerous awards and distinctions include the prestigious Américas Award, the designation of first city Poet Laureate of San Antonio, six International Latino Book Awards, two Tomás Rivera Book Awards, two ALA Notable Books, the Art of Peace Award, and the Charlotte Zolotow Award. WARRIOR GIRL (@penguinrandomhouse, 2023) chronicles Celina and her family who are bilingual and follow both Mexican and American traditions. Celina revels in her Mexican heritage, but once she starts school it feels like the world wants her to erase that part of her identity. Fortunately, she's got an army of family and three fabulous new friends behind her to fight the ignorance. But it's her Gramma who's her biggest inspiration, encouraging Celina to build a shield of joy around herself . Because when you're celebrating, when you find a reason to sing or dance or paint or play or laugh or write, they haven't taken everything away from you. Of course, it's not possible to stay in celebration mode when things get dire--like when her dad's deported and a pandemic hits--but if there is anything Celina's sure of, it's that she'll always live up to her last Guerrera--woman warrior--and that she will use her voice and writing talents to show the world it's a more beautiful place because people like her are in it.

This week's episode promises to be spell binding. Our story, “Grandma Grunt,” by Donald Burleson, is about a witch, or someone who seems to be a witch. The main character doesn't believe she is, which proves to be a big mistake. Did you know that there are different kinds of witches? I did not. We'll look at the different types of witches, and learn which witch is which. MusicFesliyan Studios: "Ghost Stories," "Lovers"Audio Jungle: "Halloween Waltzes"Narration: Robert BreaultPlease join us!

Susan and Art get a chance to work together in Wenatchee Washington with Travis Sherer. Apparently Susan has been given a new nickname by her peers that fits her act perfectly. Art, Susan, and Travis take the show to a room at the Red Lion to mostly talk shop with the likable and intelligent Travis, who's been a guest on two episodes.
This week's episode is sans AJ, so that's a bummer, but the big bummer is around the 2 minute mark you can hear about the hard times that long time and original FBFLer Dave Behrens has come across health wise. Please pray and wish him the best! After that, we get down to business with our review of week 2, making fun of Kevin and his injuries, and then get into the predictions! It's a little lengthy so if you want to skip the Dave Behrens part…well…go to hell, but it's from the 2 minute mark to about the 16:50 mark.

Jane was the last child to receive a handmade blanket from her great grandmother. Pink and blue, festooned with angels and sprinkled with stars that sparkled in the light, the much-loved blanket was the little girl's constant companion. This childhood treasure became even more important when Gramma Ann passed away — a reminder of her love for her family, and her faith in God. Jane's blanket kept her warm in sickness and in health, but the washing machine proved its eventual undoing. One day, the last remaining fragment of Gramma Ann's very last blanket was lost. Ephesians 2:8–9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” A few years after the remaining bit of Jane's ‘Gramma Ann Blankie' was lost to time (but not to memory), her mom stumbled across the best yard sale find of all time: the very same blanket, likely created from a quilting kit, in brand new condition. Jane and her mother cried together right there in a stranger's driveway, certain that Gramma was smiling down on them from Heaven in that moment of discovery. It was the best two dollars the pair ever spent. Grace can show up when we least expect it—even in the form of a long-lost family heirloom returned to us in the unlikeliest of ways. Let's pray. Lord, your grace is a constant delight. You are faithful to us when we seek Your face, and Your gift of grace shows up in incredible ways. Thank you. In Jesus' name, amen.

Callista ordered Lincoln to protect her from Dante's assassins, a murderer's row that includes Boss Hawg, the Flechette Sisters, and the druid-sorcerer Oleus Oakbeard. Shitbird signaled to Lincoln that Dante's troops had been spotted. Callista sent Lincoln and her boy-toy Mercutio out to take out an assassin or two before the real battle begins. Meanwhile, Billy tried to go to his apartment to warn his Gramma to leave town, but he saw Butch's men around the place — Billy bailed and pedaled for the Old Stone Church. Dante and Oleus were on the roof of Callista's old four-story factory building, using a cockeye to search for Lincoln. If they can find him, they can send the others to take him out.

Gramma is one of Stephen King's creepiest short stories, all about a young boy left at home with his ailing grandmother... who might also be a witch and in the final stages of putting a master plan together that doesn't bode very well for her terrified grandson. Published in Skeleton Crew, this story made an impression on our guest at a young age and he came over to talk about that with the boys.
