Sipping my morning coffee this morning, perusing the Daily Breeze, our local paper I spotted something familiar. Holding out the paper to Richie, I said, "Don't we know this woman?" He looked as I grinned. It was me in the postage-sized photo.
"My Turn" is a regular column, written by locals on a submission basis. It used to pay $25 per column, but the paper has discarded that quaint notion in favor of their finances.
If you'd like to read it, Google "My Turn" + Nina Murphy
The article headline is "Save your sanity and buy a gift card for that special someone this holiday season."
The editor has never changed a word previously, but today there were two changes. I wrote "Babies are ungrateful SOBs anyhow. Any outfit will last about three months" SOBs was deleted.
Later on I 'd written "Shout out to" Bristol Farms and Trader Joe's and the shout out had mysteriously vanished.
I guess you can't cuss this close to Christmas (SOBs) or talk trash (Shout out!) .
