Stupid Expects Change – With No Changes
It is not an intelligent idea to ignore pain. If you have pain, or had pain in the past – physically, mentally, emotionally, maritally, financially, or any other ‘-ally,’ - there is a reason. Be smart and deal with it. Readers, ARE YOU LISTENING TO WHAT YOU ARE...
Hosting a Tiny Scary Guest
While visiting for a few days on a beautiful farm in the mountains recently, we always went walking every day. Those eight hundred acres were covered in large trees, meadows, and had a briskly rolling gorgeous little creek within a ten-minute stroll of the farmhouse....
The Pain and The Healing of the Wounded
Yep, it’s been a really tough few years for everyone. In just about every possible conceivable way. Financially, physically, and emotionally, and it hasn’t really mattered how old or young you are – life has stunk in a lot of ways. And this horrible onslaught of...
Think You Married Wrong?
Extroverts. You likely wake up and crave to “just be around somebody today.” You need that in-the-same-room-with-me feeling that only real human bodies can give. Extended alone time gives you a lonely, ‘left out of the loop’ emotion within. Pure happiness for some...
Own It- It’s Yours
You actually did it. You won the election. Or in the last second, you sunk the shot that won the game. Or your business was named in the top ten in your category this year for growth. Maybe, you actually got ol’ Ms. Fussbudget to laugh during English class. Or just...

Little kids. Lovable to the parent, easily spoiled. Easily become insufferable to others.
Facebook Shouldn’t Be a Dirty Laundry Bin
Saw a quote recently that needs to be read by more people: “There are only two decent places for dirty laundry; the clothes hamper and the washing machine.” Very accurate. Seems social media is the favorite place for some folks to air their dirty laundry. Personal...
See & Be – That is a Lie
A man was put under for a medical procedure. When he awoke, he asked the nurse attending him, “Is it all over, am I okay?” She assured him that yes, it was over, he was just fine and all was well. He then said, “Oh, good. Tell me, will I be able to play the piano?” To...
Look at That One with the Limp and the Bandage!
We all see them, at WalMart, the workplace, or looking in the mirror. Maybe with a sling on their arm, or favoring a strained back muscle, or limping through the door on their good leg. Bar fight? Strong disagreement with their spouse? Exercise workout gone south?...
What Ever Happened to Working?
What has happened to “I gotta go to work” anyway? Seems so many so-called adults have just decided that holding a job is for the birds. You hear them whine, “Yeah, I have a job, but I don’t want to have to show up on the days I got something better to do. After all,...
Some People Just Haven’t Learned When to Let Go of The Rope
There are some who put tenacity and stubbornness ahead of intelligent action. I would bet on a 700 pound calf over a 60 pound stubborn-headed boy every time.
I Really Hate It When The Wife Gets Sick
The following is a man’s recipe for eventually learning to live all alone… Shoot, I really hate it when the wife’s feelin’ bad. It jest gets her down and seems to mess up her days. I’ve watched it all thru our marriage, so I know what I’m a’sayin’ to be true....
A Bleeding Bottom Lip is Better Than Smelling Skunky
We’ve all had to be around them. Usually, everyone has one or more in the family tree – hopefully a good way away from your own particular branch. But even if you are fortunate enough to not be situated in close proximity to Cousin Crabby – you probably still get the...
The Runaway
Needing play-around money, as all teenagers do, three industrious farm boys decided to create their own hay-hauling crew one summer. So they made a plan. One boy would drive as another loaded the hay, while the third teen would stack it onto their borrowed truck. Very...
Stomp on the Brakes Before it’s Too Late
Have any of you ever seen a time like our world is in lately? Some part or another of our planet has suffered through horrifying events in recent years. Earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, enormous tornadoes, lightning ignited fires, devastating floods and droughts....
