Bug

I was watching a bug on an iron basket I have in my backyard. The bug crawled back and forth over the apex of the handle many times. Inside the basket are several seashells and some fallen leaves: a good environment for a bug: lots of hidey holes and some good mulchy snacks. But he was at the top of the handle, he never made it down into the leafy goodness. Finally, he came crawling down the…

And?

A man sat on a barstool over which he had some ownership. A pile of papers and scattered books and leaflets provided a nice barrier on the table in front of him. Somewhere in the midst of this paper-strewn no man’s land sat a pint of amber ale on a coaster, near it a tequila blanco, neat, in a shot glass. He was nervous about attracting attention but did all he could to make himself center of…

Disgruntled for a Reason -- Toxic Workplace

I was employed by Signet Maritime Corporation (SMC) and then I quit because it was a very toxic environment. Here is what I received from the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) and my rebuttals as well as a timeline of events. QUOTE from Page 18A from SMC’s appeal of the Texas Workforce Commission’s decision to allow me benefits of $204 a week. As written by Joshua Johnson of Signet Maritime –…

Tiny Keyboard Experiment

I bought a keyboard for my cell phone so I wouldn’t have to take my laptop everywhere with me. This is far more convenient and I think I will get used to the layout and the fact that it is so small that I am finding it difficult to type like I would on a regular keyboard. Keyboard Case, PU Leather Magnetic Flip Stand Travel Carrying Case Cover with Removable Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard for…

The Next Adventure

By Laurette A perfect cup of coffee sat at her elbow, and though the gallery was open no one was there to disturb her quiet. She felt uneasy. It was an unwelcome and all too common feeling these days. It seemed to be settling in for a longer stay this time. To take her mind off the visiting unease, she looked at her legs. She saw all the scars and the odd veins here and there that looked more…

The Creative

I see people retiring, they’ve had a long successful career at something necessary for this world to function. They somehow knew at an early age that it was important to find something to be passionate about or at least lucrative enough to carry them through life, then they retire, and a nest egg is supposed to carry them through to the grave. Weeeeeee! I spend a great deal of my time these…

Hearts & Prayers

It’s becoming far too common, hearing yet another unstable person got a hold of a gun and shot a bunch of other people just minding their own business. Often, we don’t find out the reason for the shooting, we just have guesses gleaned from clues left on their social media accounts. Most of the time they are troubled male youths with no outlet for their anger or frustrations, no one to really…

Texas' Big Gamble

For every blessing, there’s a curse and a lot of Texans are hoping this year’s Texas Legislature will bless the Bluebonnet State with legalized marijuana and gambling. First off, marijuana should have been legal since day one. It really is no worse than alcohol and by making it illicit from the beginning, that only made marijuana that much more sought after. This is not a shocker, we all figured…

Ignorance of the World

What makes you feel nostalgic?WordPress Prompt Once upon a time the world was my backyard. There were tiny baby frogs to coral into large glass jars. I collected them and put them in jars. I felt accomplished when I filled the jar with enough tiny frogs. Always, the next morning I would come out to check on my frogs, they were all gone. It confused me. I gave them a good home, why would they…

Have you given any thoughts to your armpits?????

The antiperspirant industry is worth about $75 billion. That is a lot of money made on convincing people they need dry, odor-free armpits. The most prominent ingredient, for almost any antiperspirant, is aluminum. The job of the aluminum, in antiperspirants, is to block our sweat glands. Sweat glands’ main function is to control body temperature. Actually, that is pretty much their only function.…
