Hands On St. Nick - A Makeover
St. Nicholas Family Clinic
1901 Kentucky Ave.
8:00 am - 6:00 pm
Come help us give this 20 year old organization a NEW LOOK! Help us paint, clean, organize and create a welcoming environment for our patients and the community.

Specific needs include: taping & mudding supplies, paint & artwork groupings, rugs, blinds & plants/interior foliage, soft fluorescents, baby changing station (x2), office organizers, L-shape desk, chairs, coffee tables, flooring – wood laminate & vinyl or tile, and volunteers.

Having served almost 7,000 patients since opening in 1994, St. Nicholas Family Free Clinic has made a significant impact on the health of our community and region. We are looking forward to giving back to the clinic by recruiting local businesses and volunteers to help lay new floors, freshen the walls with new paint, and organize the space for people to be proud of. Featuring JLF Interior Designs.

iAdvise, Best Served Cold with a Side of Humor

Dear Jody,

What is the actual significance of the Cinco de Mayo holiday?

Quierda/o Amiga/o (that there’s Spainish — I googled it),

Wiki tells me that Cinco de Mayo is actually a commemoration of victory in battle over some white Frenchy dudes, who, like most white dudes at the time, were trying to take over some un-white people’s native land. It is not a federally mandated national holiday in Mexico, although many Mexicans celebrate this day as a means to appreciate their heritage and culture.

In the good ol’ US of A, Cinco de Mayo is primarily celebrated as just another day people can get drunk and wear funny clothes while they pretend they are from another county.

Thus it can only be by the Manos of Fate that Jody Suhrheinrich was born on this day.

Forwhomsoever else loves to dance, drink and play dress up as much as Jody Suhrheinrich? For God so loved the world he gave his only begotten tiny-Mexican-looking-midget-of-German-name-and-descent to ruin the world. Or at least iList Paducah.

So I hope you all learned something of value from this column — appreciate the Mexican culture and come out with me dressed in your best sombrero and mas tequila, because we at iList Paducah are ready for a FIESTA!


It’s our iList Paducah Cinco de Mayo Party at Russell’s Bar & Grill, 5 p.m., Wednesday, May 5. (It’s actually the third year anniversary of iList Paducah, and that, in itself, is reason to celebrate.)

I’ll be the short girl in the giant hat yelling “CINCO CINCO CINCO!”

Salud,
Jody

P.S. We also celebrate the birth of “Nacho,” the Crabtrees’ Beagle, on Cinco de Mayo. Te quiero, Nacho. Stop barking.

Whaaat? Where did Iadvise comments come from? I could have saved time and commented my insanity here instead of running over to facebook and back!
