Ttriskaidekaphobia
No pills will help this condition. This is the name for someone with fears about the number 13. What a good question to pose on game night. I was at Walmart the other evening, and when I came out ther...
Well, the race is over for presidential candidates, I guess
We are already down to the same two Bozos we had four years ago to choose from. Keep in mind that it is over eight months to Election Day. Depending on which news channel you watch, Trump is going to...
What was super about Tuesday?
Trump and Biden both got convincing wins. What amazes me is that people actually believe either of these men is fully capable of getting our country on the right path. Both have a shot at it and I'm...
Vegas visit is a letdown
I was disappointed! There is an old saying "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." Nothing happened there that I couldn't talk about here. Probably the most exciting thing was my trip to the house of...
Attention voters and travelers
Assuming the voters remain stupid and Biden and Trump are the nominees, they will travel the country debating each other. It will be called the "Antiques Roadshow." There is an old Beach Boys song...
Dating sites are cool!
Well, not really. Many years ago, I used to go to dating sites, not to trade Cleo off, but to see what local people were on them. There weren't a lot of sites, but they were all free and just needed...
Is it too late to get my money back?
I have been going through the food inventory at our house to use up some of it. I would buy something that Cleo liked to eat, and after it hit the freezer, it disappeared. Between some stories on MSN,...
What about stupid laws and the people sworn to back them up?
In Ohio a pastor opened up the church for people to get in out of the subzero temperatures. Pastor Chris Avell arguably kept over 100 people from freezing to death by letting them stay at the church....
Some of you are in trouble
If you ever used the term "I'll do it when hell freezes over," better get ready to make good on it, because the time is now. In one of Marione's stories it said to not be afraid to take naps, because...
I got my first date of 2024 already lined up
I mean it's a court date, but it's still a date. I'm dressing up. Well, I know now I made a big mistake when I went into law enforcement years ago. As City Marshal after all these years I haven't...
Where does the money go?
On the St. Jude's commercial is a little girl with big pink glasses and the best smile ever. I know the reason there are so many different kids is to tug at as many heart strings as possible, and the...
Happy New Year to one and all
If you want to get drunk and be somebody, have a friend handy to get the new important you home safely. I used to try to get drunk and be somebody, but I always woke up with a headache and still was...
Let's all remember the real reason for the season
Please tell your children that it is not just about the gifts. Ideally, load your family up and go to a church service somewhere this morning. If you don't have a regular church, pick out the one that...
They knew it from my birth, I was born a comedian
The nurses gathered around and one of them looked at me and said, "There is something funny about Jim." Last Monday I went to the eye doctor for a checkup. He said it was progressing nicely, which I...
It's a strange world we live in, Master Jack
This headline is from a 1968 song. The light in my room is on one side of the room and there is always a shadow on my desk. I have needed a lamp for a long while but hated to spend the money. I...
I think I'm gonna go crazy
Not with life in general, which doesn't help my sanity, but with Medicare Part C commercials and phone calls. If all the money spent on advertising was used for healthcare, we wouldn't even need...
News flash!
Santa never has to pay for parking; it is always on the house! I hope you had a good Thanksgiving! Some people are still celebrating today with different families and that is cool. I just hope the wea...
You have to have the 'app' to get it cheaper
A while back I went to get a morning happy hour drink, like I did several times a week, and the order taker told me happy hour in the morning was no more. He said if I had the "app," I could get half...
Hope you enjoy as I did
Long ago and far away, in a land that time forgot, Before the days of Dylan, or the dawn of Camelot. There lived a race of innocents, and they were you and me. For Ike was in the White House in that...
It's goofy time again
Turn your clocks back an hour Saturday night. There are stupider things than the clock swap, but they are all in Washington, D.C., and we can't do anything about them either. If you and a friend...
Happy Halloween to all
Be sure not to miss the trunk-n-treat rescheduled to Tuesday, Oct. 31, 5:30-7 p.m.. Also run by the nursing homes and Homestead with your dressed-up kids. Your kids will learn a bit about doing nice...
I live my life with no regrets
It's one of the benefits of not being able to remember things. Third time is the charm, or that's what is said. I hope it is true because last Tuesday the eye doctor tried again for the third time. He...
Third time's the charm
Tuesday will be the third operation on my eye. The doc said he thought he could make it better, so here we go again. He could be right, because he said this operation will make the last payment on...
I hope you enjoyed Homecoming
Now let me see, if I run the stop sign, and the guy coming up to the yield sign doesn't yield, will I be at fault for running the stop sign, or will the other driver be at fault for failing to yield?...
Who's the vice-president?
If you said Kamala Harris, you win the prize. I hadn't heard anything from her for so long, I thought Joe had traded her to the gypsies for some goats. Our national legislators suck. With a shutdown...
