    Show Me Your Life Hacks!

    I figured out that you don't need a knife to spread mustard if you have a solid slab of cheese. Works just as well.

    A Good Friend Passed

    Is he in Heaven? Is he in Hell? That demmed illusive Pimpernel Funny you mention that. I read The Scarlet Pimpernel because he had a copy lying around his house. Things come full circle sometimes.

    Because it hurts even if you're the one who pulls the trigger.

    Just broke up with my now ex-girlfriend too. What a week. Lord give me strength before I rely on Mr. Jack Daniels.

    People die for all sorts of reasons. Some of them are present in the afterlife- work, food, and so forth.

    Exactly. That appreciation for quality of life (as we are defining it here) is increasingly lost on people today. I just look at the COVID mess and sigh.

    I'll tell you, good ol' Ron's picture could be next to irascible in the dictionary. He was an old Marine and Vietnam War vet. At some point in the 70's, he lost all patience with stupid people and I loved him for it. Fun guy.

    Haha. Well the good book doesn't state either way, so I am taking Christian liberty. Jim and Ron were two good Christian men who smoked like chimneys. Funny part is, it wasn't the smoking that got either of them in the end. They were probably better off for the increased concentration and...

    Does Henrietta Lacks deserve having a statue erected of her in Bristol, England?

    It's the institutional Left elevating the victim hero while shunning the virtue hero.

    PTSD Episode in Church Today

    Well there is something good that has come out of this. You know your Pastor's opinion. You can either leave the Church because it is a part of a pattern or fortify yourself for when he says something like this again. An important factor is the spirit in which he said it. If he has concluded...

    AI Robots to Combat Covid

    No industries deserve to be regulated as hard as robotics and tech, but they are the ones with free rein.
