You know you’ve been a couple for a long time when you find yourselves spending an hour discussing whether or not you need to go to the store. Once it’s decided that we need to, Crazy Lady co-pilots the trip. Somehow, despite my deplorable driving practices, we manage to safely arrive at the parking lot. I usually like to go …
Will’s Thoughts – You know you have anger problems when… I recently tried to think back over the years to find a time in life, before meeting Alli Everwant, when I was not angry. I simply could not recall a single time in my entire life when I wasn’t. Now, don’t get me wrong, there were tons of moments of …
Will’s Thoughts – Age Does Funny Things To People. Age changes us. Take Minnie Changes and I. When we first met, she’d all but curled into a fetal position and shut out the world. She was introverted, shy, and a reclusive person who was sick of all the pain people inflicted on each other. I, on the other hand, drank …
Will’s Thoughts – The Current Education System Is A Complete Failure It’s my humble opinion that one of the greatest wastes of time, money and manpower in all of modern history is the current education system. It’s a gluttonous, insatiable pig that needlessly consumes massive amounts of public resources to attempt to establish its own concept of a ‘social norm’ …
Will’s Thoughts – Irrational Phobias And Fears I reckon that we all have irrational fears and phobias. For some, it may be a bug busily buzzing around them that sends them dashing about, flapping their arms like someone trying to flag down a helicopter. For others, it may be a spider or mouse that reduces them to a blubbering basket …
Will’s Thoughts – Unions Are Committing Suicide. It breaks my heart to see trade unions committing suicide, and sadly, they don’t even realize its happening. As a union supporter, and current member, it’s painful to watch them walking right into a trap with their eyes wide open, totally oblivious to the danger. So, just what the heck am I talking …
Will’s Thoughts – We have all heard the statement, ‘The only stupid question is the one you fail to ask’. Well, I ain’t never heard of bigger monkey muffins, bull manure or horse hunks. Ever! No stupid questions indeed! What dimwit came up with that? Seriously? Did he/she never read about redneck cousin Leroy checking the gas level in the …
Will’s Thoughts – Love makes us do strange things. For instance, during that delightful (and extremely short) ‘honeymoon’ period of love when Crazy Lady and I first met, when anything and everything was possible. So, when Countess Clairol decided that she would color her hair at home, and suggested that she might as well do mine too, I figured, ‘Shucks, …
Will’s Thoughts – Smartphones Are Smarter Than I Am I think smartphones are stupid. They are digital Swiss army knives, and apparently there is some dang international quest to build smartphones that can do everything except the dishes. There also seems to be a race to cram them into ever smaller packages. I have seen telephones evolve from huge wooden …
Will’s Thoughts – Dang Potholes! Happy pothole season! Yep, it’s that time of year again and everyone around here has a story about a monstrous paved black hole in the road that they or a relative almost lost their life in. Our potholes are truly legendary and yet, as much as people complain about them, they do serve a purpose …
Will’s Thoughts – Things we have ‘just in case’. Just in case. Now, who would have thought that three little words could have such an impact on our lives? They can be used as a shield against possible social, economic or physical disaster, or as a horn to announce the arrival of the King and Queen of Hoarding. I’d like …
Will’s Thoughts – What Makes Us Ornery? Have you ever had one of those days, when you roll out of bed first thing in the morning meaner than a stick poked badger? There ain’t no rhyme nor reason, you just woke up with a hankering to cause someone, or something grief, or at the very least, aggravation. It may be …
