Don’t get me wrong. I love doctors, and we’d be completely lost without them. But do you think somewhere in the back of their minds, they really try to perpetuate their own existence? If everyone were healthy, there would be nothing for them to do, right? For instance, why do you think they have those… Continue Reading
I’ve just discovered the actual minutes from the meeting where the written version of the English language was invented. It’s an amazing read. Written in Olde English, it’s a bit hard to follow, but I’m able to report on some of the highlights. The group apparently didn’t have any last names. They included Lloyd,… Continue Reading
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who enjoy traveling and those who don’t. I’m not ashamed to admit that I am not from the travelers. Nope, I’m very comfortable in the confines of my humble abode, enjoying my complete lack of adventurousness. Here’s what I have observed when I do have… Continue Reading
Ah, spending quality time in the great outdoors. Think about it. Breathing in the fresh air, recreating that wonderful rustic life and communing with nature. Yes, we can enjoy the same experiences as our pioneer ancestors. Living in crude shelters, fishing and swimming in the nearby lake, watching the birdies fly and hiking through the… Continue Reading

The usual type of warning we see on the labels says: Let your doctor know if you experience severe nausea, headaches, itching, diarrhea or swelling. However,… Continue Reading
There you were, an innocent seven-year-old, and you accidentally walked in on your mom (or dad) getting dressed. Don’t they know how to lock their door? You saw all kinds of things you didn’t want to see, and you’re traumatized for life. Try as you might, there is no way to ever erase that image. Ever. Therapy… Continue Reading
Are you like me and tired of the same old ways that wars are fought? I sure am. Shoot here, bomb there, blow away the other side’s blower-uppers. The basic tactics don’t seem to change, only the increased devastation caused by the newest weapons employed. So here’s what should be done: we need to boldly… Continue Reading
Is idle time the devil’s playground? Well, for the devil, it probably is. He (or she) doesn’t have to punch a time clock, and therefore has all the time in the world to create lots of havoc. That devilish one surely has nothing better to do. But what effect does idle time have on everyone… Continue Reading
What if we were all weather forecasters? Talk about no accountability. We could speak incessantly, using lots of big words, pointing to charts and maps, employing all kinds of cool graphics and saying mostly nothing. We could take all types of useless information and come up with very vague conclusions, which would be accepted and… Continue Reading
What does it mean when someone begins their comments or responses with “to tell you the truth” or “to be honest with you”? I guess it means that they otherwise mostly lie. Which is a very sad commentary on our society today, as those phrases have become way too familiar and accepted. For some, telling… Continue Reading
