Panda's Postings

My mom's family owned and operated the newspaper in Post, TX from 1957 until my grandfather passed away in 1981. Everyone in the family wrote for the paper, including my mom (Susan’s Stuff) and my grandpa Jim, whose column was named "Postings." I never knew my grandparents, but I’ve read the old Post Dispatch and seen the town library my grandmother founded. So in honor of them, I write my blog, Panda's Postings, and hope that it carries on in the spirit of their paper.

Boyfriends--what to get for your girlfriends on Valentines Day

Just a silly post about what you can get your loved one for V-Day if you are someone who has a girlfriend who hopes you'll do something, but you have no idea what that's going to be.

Under $20

I love my girlfriend: her beauty touches everything
by Louis Cannizzaro

I've read this book more than once at Vroma n's and at Skylight Books, and each time I end up ducking into the stacks to wipe my eyes. It's so incredibly sweet, and it's only $15.95! (Available online and at many independent bookstores.)

Mid-Range

Support Blue Platypus! What girl does not love a cute shirt? My good friends at Blue Platypus have a great sale going on right now. All their clothes are 100% made in the USA. Check it out.

For the big spender

Be a Gold, Gold Doubloons, or Platinum sponsor of Jill Sobule's next record and get your significant other's name into a song! (This of course requires that you S.O. likes Jill Sobule, but who doesn't?!) I'm a just a Polished Rock sponsor myself...
