It has been said for centuries that dogs are man’s best ‘friend’, and there’s been a heap of times dogs proved that they are, with countless lives saved by canine courage and companionship. Horses also share this distinction with dogs. However, man’s best ‘teacher’ has to go to those fabulous furry felines whom we think so much of, and who …
Gun Control The rash of recent shootings and mass murders has folks a’hollering for gun control, as if guns have taken to busting out of sporting good stores and running down streets shooting people. Well, I hate to burst anyone’s bubble, but guns can’t, and don’t kill by themselves. It is only when guns are played with by humans that …
Before Getting Snippy And Lippy The next time you find yourself getting a little impatient with old people, here’s a few things about us you might want to keep in mind before getting all lippy and snippy: Yes, we’re slower than we used to be, but we should be after working like hell for 50-70 years to support ourselves and …
T’was Was The Night Before Halloween… Okay, I venture into extremely dangerous territory with the following; T’was was the night before Halloween and all through the house, creepy creatures were stirring and all thought me a louse. There were pointy hats and lots and lots of black, green skin color and shawls with tiny plastic bats. And that was just …
A Woman Just Like Dear Old Mom It was a world where lads wore white t-shirts, bluejeans and brush-cuts, of big old cars and ‘yes sir’ and ‘no ma’am’. Most women wore dresses, most men drank far too much, most churches were full and schools were the size of an average house. It was a world of chores, staying out …
Do Good Looking People Get Asked Out Less Often? For most of my life I have heard that good looking people frequently are the loneliest because their beauty intimidates potential partners. Though attracted to their beauty, the good looking are not approached because everyone ‘assumes’ that they already have it all – beautiful mate, wealth, health and happiness. But the …
Will’s Thoughts | Thoughts Father’s Day Father’s Day for me is both one of sadness and of joy as I remember my incredible father. Due to a number of issues, we really never had a chance to experience the whole ‘father and son’ thing and the result is that there will forever be a hollow place in my heart that …
Thoughts On Growing Older I reckon I thought that growing older was going to be different somehow. Ironically, it turned out to be different, but in ways that I never imagined. I used to snore so loud that it set off car alarms outside, now when I’m asleep others worry that I’m dead. I’ve also learned that you can live …
Will’s Thoughts about by-products in foods. I’ve kept a frustration of mine quiet for at least a decade, but today the dam bursts, the bubble pops and the milk gets spilled. The object of my rejection is ‘by-products’, the pinnacle of capitalist cons, and the summit of social stupidity. I reckon that by-products began a long time ago when we …
There is such a thing as too many pixels! Too much information is not always a good thing. Nor are too many pixels necessarily good for the soul. However, when you combine the two, you get Crazy Lady running around the house with a serious case of the heebie-geebies. Such was the way that my afternoon unfolded. Let me tell …
Will’s Thoughts about Ray Ray, Crazy Lady & A DIY Grow Light. Now, I reckon that I ain’t a jealous fella, but every once in while I’ll make an exception. Case in point; a mysterious male internet ‘friend’ of Crazy Lady’s, called “Ray Ray”. I first heard his dastardly name mentioned in January, but it was in passing, so like …
Will’s Thoughts about creating music with his stovetop symphony. I love music. I love all types of music, from rock to rhapsody, and from swing to symphonic. Sometimes I like my music loud, and at other times I like music as soft as leaves being used by the wind to whisper lullabies. Music can excite me, making me want to …
Will’s Thoughts about celebrity websites that suck. I reckon that in the light of the digital dawn, it’s become incredibly easy for anyone to tell the world their story and interact globally with others using websites. So, I find it puzzling that a celebrity, who makes a living by getting into the spotlight, digitally gives their fans the middle finger …
I reckon that there are some folks that I really should thank for being there throughout my life, often protecting, and always keeping me covered. There are few things in our lives that transcend childhood, that are a constant thread that carries on throughout our lives. And so, these folks need some well deserved recognition for being there for me, …
