Now, I ain’t one to normally endorse products, or to provide non-derogatory reviews of anything, but through sheer accident I stumbled across a product so darn impressive that I felt compelled to shout about it to the world. And, the time of year just happens to coincide nicely. It is a type of product so mundane, and so non-descript that …
Few notice the shifts that take place in society like us old folks. Back when we was young, the cost of living was low, boys took ‘shop’ in school, and girls took ‘home economics’. After they got out of school, adult roles were right clearly divided, with males leaving the home every day to be the ‘providers’, while women folk …
After working in the field of community social services for over 35 years, I can honestly say that the level of ‘sensitivity’ for people’s issues has come a long way. In fact, it is my opinion that political and social correctness has now surpassed its purpose, and has become a very real threat to free speech. I think respect has …
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 …
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 they become …
The next time you find yourself getting a little impatient with old people, here are a few things about us that you might want to keep in mind: 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 our families. We have literally walked tens of thousands …
Will’s Thoughts – 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, …
Will’s Thoughts – I grew up in a world where boys grew up and wanted to marry a girl 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, …
Mankind is losing the battle to survive without firing a single shot. I consider anyone responsible for the death and mutilation of our citizens an enemy to our nation. I gladly join taxpayers to fund protection by our Canada’s military and security services, for there are very real people with very bad intentions out there, and more seem to appearing every …
Will’s Thoughts are about whether it is true that 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 have it all – beautiful …
Will’s Thoughts About 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 only …
