I’m constantly amazed, disturbed and/or flummoxed that folks find it difficult to be kind to one another. Honestly, I just don’t get it.

I don’t know about anyone else, but it would appear that we’ve got an over-abundance of angry people these days. Has anyone else noticed this trend? Because I have, and I can’t for the life of me understand why so many folks put so much energy into being so damned angry. It really does take a lot of emotional energy to stay that angry for an extended period of time. Some folks are so angry and distraught about things that are either literally all in their heads, or are absolutely out of the sphere of influence as to be something that would take an eternity of effort to even make… Read More

Sorry… you can’t get me I’ve recently found another reason to like my iPhone and not feel bad about moving from the Android phone to the Apple device: Blocking Numbers! Yes, it’s great!!

I’m sure by now everyone has seen the emails circulating around the internet; you know the ones… the messages that come with about 12 to 20 images of people shopping at their local Wal-mart. What gets me is how do some of these folks get past security to even get through the front door? I’m not convinced they should be allowed to run loose let alone be by themselves. These people scare me! Which is why, when my wife shops at Wal-mart I keep my behind in the car.
