HOUSTON: Hot topic for women in the coming year is simply fear

By Debra Houston | I entered the crowded waiting room for a routine exam in early December and found ladies in pink hospital gowns with their noses buried in magazines or otherwise staring into cellphones. Similarly attired, I sat down and asked, “Are they running behind?”

HOUSTON: Miffed as Thanksgiving approaches

HOUSTON: Miffed as Thanksgiving approaches

By Debra Houston | I’m miffed, and it has nothing to do with 20 people coming to my house for Thanksgiving dinner. No, I love the holiday and all that goes with it.

I love dusting off old issues of Southern Living each year for inspiration on recipes, decorating, and hospitality. I hang an oversized harvest wreath in my kitchen and on the porch door. From the jungle of my basement, I dig up Puritan figurines, unearth Puritan stuffed bears, and nearly trip on a stone Puritan man grimly holding a musket; he will guard the hearth.

HOUSTON: LAN line phone customers have their own callers who abuse them

By Debra Houston | In a more innocent age, the family phone was our friend. It seldom rang, and when it did, you’d say, “Honey, could you get that?” Now you say, “Wait! DON’T!” The modern LAN (Local Area Network) phone has become a nuisance and a thief.

HOUSTON: Democrats and Republicans can learn from one another

By Debra Houston | Democrats and Republicans can learn from one another. Democrats are strong on emotion, but often short on reason. Republicans are just the opposite. They are strong on reason, but often short on emotion.

Empathy is entirely appropriate in politics, but sometimes Democrats twist it into something hateful. They exploit the emotions of minorities when they portray Republicans as “the enemy,” as did Mrs. Clinton at a rally in October.

HOUSTON: 3 examples of “divide and conquer” techniques

By Debra Houston | The old “divide and conquer” maneuver has been around since the dawn of primordial politics, but I prefer candidates who unite instead of ignite. I wonder if “we the people” will ever be “we the people” again.
