Show Us the Non Blurry Paranormal Proof…
In a time where everyone carries high definition digital cameras on them, why is it we only see blurry photos of ghosts, UFO’s, and Bigfoot? “Proof” pictures are almost always out of focus, out of frame, distorted or show some other abnormality which hinders clear observation of whatever it is someone is trying to prove.…

Stop Caring What People Think of Your Writing
It’s important to write for your intended audience, but don’t let your thoughts get in the way of creating what YOU want to create. If you have something inside you that needs to get out, let it out! Sometimes the thought of what other people will think can get in the way of you creating…

Paper or Plastic? Why You Should Care…
Anyone who has ever shopped in a grocery store has been asked that question, but have you ever really thought about why it matters? I was watching a TV show recently where they were discussing pollution. I’m not a liberal hippie, but it made me very angry. The topic of the show was about how…

42 Million Followers: HOW???
I recently saw a blogger with more than 42 MILLION followers. I didn’t know there were even 42 million people who know how to read. I’m not one who reads many books, but I do like reading blogs online. Most of the content I see is written by “average” people, but every once in a…

When I go on Wheel of Fortune…
Game shows like “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” kick you off the show for getting an answer wrong, but on Wheel of Fortune, I’ll at least have a chance with my well thought out guesses… It’s going to be so much fun when I go on Wheel of Fortune, but I can’t help but…

Have You Ever Met a Famous Blogger?
The world of writing is much different from other forms of art or entertainment. You may have lots of followers, but are you really “known” for your work? If you ran into me in a grocery store, would you know who I was? For that matter, would you recognize ANY of your favorite writers? Whatever…

If Dogs Could Talk…
If your dog could speak human words, what would they say? Here’s an interpretation of how a conversation might go with your dog. This post is adapted from a funny meme I saw recently: Dog: What Doing? Me: Nothing. I just stood up. Dog: Where Go? Me: I’m going to get a drink. Dog: Can…

Fresh, Hot Rolls: A Lost Art
There are cookie and donut bakeries. There are cupcake bakeries and there are bakeries in grocery stores, but “mom and pop” corner bakeries of days past where you could get fresh, hot bread and rolls are becoming a rarity. I love to eat fresh, hot rolls. On Saturday mornings when I was a kid, my…

An Open Letter to Publisher’s Clearing House…
This is an open letter to anyone at Publisher’s Clearing House regarding why I’ve not yet received any of my promised prize money. Do you know how many times I’ve sat at my window, watching for the prize patrol van to pull up at my house? One time I thought it was you, but it…

I’m a Social Outcast Because I Don’t Drink Coffee
Coffee has become such a staple of “normal” life, it’s almost like insulting someone’s mother to say you don’t drink it. But being that I’m far from “normal”, I’m okay with being an outcast. It happens all the time. At Work: “Oh my God, I need some coffee, come on, let’s go get some” Meeting…

Mmm… Radioactive Pizza
If the world experienced another nuclear meltdown, how would the pizza taste? Inquiring minds want to know… “Just try it”, they said..”You’ll be fine”. “But, the pizza is glowing.” “Oh come on, man up. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right?” “Oh, alright. What’s the worst that could happen.” – Another oddity from the…

Living as a Frugal Cheapskate
When you live paycheck to paycheck, living cheap is the only way to survive. Sometimes you have to get creative, but it’s not hard to do! There is no way around the fact that I’m poor. I have a job, but life has an odd way of seeing to it that I never get ahead.…

Everybody has an opinion…
I get interesting comments from people about my writing… Sometimes I get messages thanking me for what I write, but more often than not, I get messages from people who criticize what I’m writing about, specifically my articles related to mental illness. When someone has something negative to say, more often than not I don’t…
