What is, Made worse by surgery, Alex?
There are some things that are better left alone. The problem is many times we don’t know it until after the fact. And then it’s too late. I have spoken to several folks over the years who...
Spring Has Sprung
It’s not quite the Spring Equinox but Spring weather has finally arrived, along with its cast of characters known in our parts as Thunderstorms and Tornadoes. Yes, a 1/4 inch snow can paralyze ...
Spring Forward
I know I am in the minority here, but I hate DST. It takes me a couple of weeks to adjust, and personally, I could care less if I have an extra hour of daylight. Of course, my philosophy is, Th...
Updates that Don't
I just love Windows 10. It is the perfect, user-friendly operation system around. And Donald Trump won the 2020 Election! This brings me to my point. Any update, regardless of what it is for,...
Own it.
Mistakes are bound to happen. What you do with them makes all the difference. I have finally reached that age that if I make a mistake, I admit it, own it, and learn from it. I read somewhere ...
An Apple A Day
If you were to Google that phrase you would find out that apples do indeed have many wonderful health benefits. Of course, as I have learned over the course of my years, what works for some doe...
Time of Death
I have always found it odd, that a person is not dead until a doctor pronounces them dead. I mean, what are you if they don’t find you for days? I know, missing, right? But I would still be ju...
The lost art of communication
Long before the cell phone, Twitter, and all the other social media rage, people had to learn to communicate. Nowadays, not so much. And it shows, especially in the medical field. You go to...
Dr. Seuss Offends?
Our society has lost its collective mind. Walt Disney never released “Song of The South” in the US. Now we add to the list Dr. Seuss. Oh, and let’s not forget the Christmas song, “Baby, it’s c...
Factory Reset
Technology can be a cruel mistress. She can be just a sweet as pie most days but then there are those days where she decides despite my best efforts, she just doesn’t want to play nice. The...
Golden Years
Whoever came up with the idea that 65+ was the Golden Years was either wealthy beyond measure or an idiot! I lean more toward the latter, but that may be because one leg is shorter than the othe...
Dead Skunk In The Middle Of The Road
Every generation believes their music was the best. For us baby boomers we know that to be false. Ours was the best. The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and the list goes on and on. (sorry to disappo...
To The Moon, Alice
I have never understood why it was so important to land on the moon. And now we not only want to go back, (Like did we leave something there of value?) we want to go to Mars? Surely we can put ...
6 More Weeks of Winter
My posts are getting waaaaay toooo serious, so it’s time to lighten up the mood. Punxsutawney Phil has once again predicted six more weeks of winter. And after the last week folks we better tak...
Welcome To The Raw Deal!
Fooled me once shame on you, fooled my twice, shame on me. And the new administration starts to undo all the good the Republicans accomplished in 4 years. Gas prices on the rise, shut down the ...
Hey Biden, Leave My Guns Alone!
Sleepy Joe is at it again. He is urging Congress to pass tougher gun laws and pass a ban on assault weapons. Our founding fathers must be spinning in their graves. Tighter gun control laws...
The Doctrine of Reasonable Person
Trump once again is acquitted, millions of dollars were wasted on a trial that we all knew what the outcome would be before the trial started and the new Administration has accomplished what? (R...
Of Mice and Men
I recently had a conversation with my PCP about the Covid Vaccination. Of course, just like the past Presidential election, you have various accounts all told to be true! Granted, I trust my D...
School Ground Behavior
For God’s sake people, GROW UP! (Okay actually for my sake would you just grow up!?) It is getting where you can’t voice an opinion or maybe a frustration on social media without the wolves comi...
Man Plans...God Laughs
https://cdn.someecards.com/someecards/usercards/1342371026665_1839313.png (Click on the Link) Okay, sometimes we just need to step back from it all and just laugh!.. Have a great day everyone, ...
Common Sense
There now lay before us a great divide in race, creed, color, and religion. That divide keeps getting wider. And then throw in the lack of Common Sense in our government and you have a recipe f...
Politics Aside!
Well, what can I say, America has survived the first day of the Biden/Harris sentence. Just kidding folks, those dozen or so Executive orders have started us down the pathway of the third term o...
4 More Years!
The thoughts of 2024 and 4 more years are already in the hearts and minds of the voters. January 21, 2021, will bring out the best and the worst. The only thing we will have 4 more years of for...
Stupidity At The Polls
We are one of the few countries I know of that eliminates many good candidates for office by the stupid preliminary process. There have been times when the candidate I would want to vote for has...
Tump 2024?
“And the projected winner of the Republican presidential primary to take on Harris in 2024 is?....” Four years into the future. Gas prices have gone up to all-time highs, taxes on many item...
