I use the platform TikTok, and I recently came across a post of “a friend” asking if we put ketchup on tacos. Most of the comments were, “ewwwe, that’s gross”, “no way would I ever do that”, “that’s just wrong”. Well, my response was, well yes, I do, I have since I was a kid.Continue reading “Ketchup Or No Ketchup”

Which Way is Up
Sometimes I think out loud, sometimes I think too much, sometimes I think silly, sometimes I think that I just don’t know what to think. I personally live in a bubble right now. I get up, go to work, eat, sleep, go to work, pay bills, and on occasion socialize. But here’s the thing. IContinue reading “Which Way is Up”
Snowflake
I live in a 4-season state. We’re almost coming into fall weather which is a nice reprieve from the summer heat. It’s beautiful when all the colors change, and we all start to get our dens ready for the long winter months. But on that note, I don’t like winter. I don’t like winter oneContinue reading “Snowflake”
Punching The Time Clock
How long have we been doing this? For myself, since I was 14. I have used all sorts of timeclocks. I have used timecards that had the time punched out on its little slot. I have used stamp timeclocks in the same manner. I have used a keypad to code myself in and out. IContinue reading “Punching The Time Clock”
Age Is Not Just a Number
We’ve all heard the saying right? Age is just a number. It’s about how one views themselves. It’s about how we take care of ourselves. Ummmm, no it’s not. Recently there was a man in his 70s who was a very fit person, did video tapes about being fit most of his adult life andContinue reading “Age Is Not Just a Number”
True Colors
Well, well, well, if there aren’t some things going on in this day and age, sheesh. But all this and all that and everything else still boils down to people. It doesn’t matter what size, shape, color, sex, rich or poor, people are still people. Many years ago, I wrote a letter to the EditorContinue reading “True Colors”
It’s Just Me
This is my 100th blog, well sort of. I’ve done many more previously but deleted them due to the current content taking a different direction. If you all have been with me since the beginning, you may recall that I was going to travel in my van across country and live the journey. I wasContinue reading “It’s Just Me”
A Negative Plus a Negative Equals
How many of y’all remember your algebra? Well, this is the lesson for the day kids. A negative plus a negative equal a positive, right? That’s the math rule anyways. When I was growing up and going through school my stepmom, who had a Masters in math, was my tutor. I still got c’s inContinue reading “A Negative Plus a Negative Equals”
Message in a Bottle
Have you ever walked the beach and daydreamt about finding an old bottle just lying on the shore, corked and sealed. You peer inside and see what looks like what could be paper. Your heart quickens as your mind races to what it could be. A buried treasure map, a love letter, someone’s last words.Continue reading “Message in a Bottle”
In the Land of Make Believe
How does the story go? Oh yeah, once upon a time, yeah, yeah, that’s it. Once upon a time there was a land, but the land was make believe. Everyone lived in the land, but nobody was really living. Have you heard this story? This is a story of all of us. We as homo-sapiensContinue reading “In the Land of Make Believe”
