I’m looking for information on babysitters in the area. When I was growing up, I can’t remember ever having had a babysitter. I am five years older than my brother and therefore I always watched him when my parents went out. I’m not having children in the near future or anything, it’s just that I [...]

Frengo?
Posted in Rebel's Blog on October 29, 2007 | 3 Comments »
Over on the right side of this page is a headling called Blogroll. In itself that’s confusing enough for the uninitiated like me. It’s a list of websites linked to this blog. The one at the top of the list is Frengo. What the heck is Frengo? I wish I could tell you specifically. My [...]
MRSA, a pox on the world?
Posted in Uncategorized on October 24, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
So, last week we had our first confirmed case since the MRSA scare broke. It was going to happen sooner or later, especially since all last week we heard about cases drawing closer and closer to us. When I spoke with the Health Department on Monday, they discussed the fact that many people seemed to [...]
Is there still traditional trick-or-treating?

Halloween memories for me include walking through the chilly night, rustling the fallen leaves, going door-to-door through our neighborhood to delight in having a fuss made over our costumes. When my children were small in Michigan these traditions were similar. It wasn’t until we moved down to Elkin 10 years ago where we were exposed [...]
What Now?

With the Andy Grffith memorabilia collection now safely ensconced at the Surry Arts Council, what should we be doing about a new visitors center for Mount Airy? Should we build a new facilty? If so, downtown or farther out, perhaps by one of the interstate exits? Or should we utilize the chamber or some other [...]

In the North Ward it’s a battle of two newcomers, Dean Brown and Robert Livengood. Who has the better ideas, the better vision?
Who and Why? Lowry vs. Cochran
Posted in Elections, Local government, Rebel's Blog on October 17, 2007 | 37 Comments »
Time to get your thoughts on the Mount Airy City Commissioners races. The election is less than three weeks away. In the At-Large race, Scott Lowry and Deborah Cochran made it through the primary last week, and while Lowry led, it was close enough that there’s plenty of doubt. Let’s hear what you have to [...]
Airline angst
Posted in Rebel's Blog on October 15, 2007 | 1 Comment »
As I’m writing this I’m stuck in the airport in San Francisco. Our 9 a.m. flight was cancelled for “mechanical reasons.” I’m always a little antsy about getting onto the flight after “mechanical reasons.” I keep waiting for the pilot to say something like, “We’ll, we think we’ve got it fixed. What the hell, let’s [...]
Medical Delay

Okay, so for the past two weeks I have put off going to the doctor for my headaches. Well, honestly, my whole life I have put off going to the doctor for my migraines. I just have an anti-doctor issue. I hate going unless it’s life threatening. So anyway, I finally broke down today and [...]
