No One Owns The Monopoly On Mourning
If you’re reading this, you’ve lost a parent or grandparent, friend or partner/spouse, teacher or mentor, or even a furbaby that meant a lot to you. It doesn’t matter. Mourning and grief hit us hard sometimes. Animals also endure it as well. Even though they say time heals all wounds, it doesn’t do a 100Continue reading “No One Owns The Monopoly On Mourning”
Who Are They Fooling?
I’m almost certain that if Sen. Lindsey Graham hadn’t died over the weekend, the office of Sen. Mitch McConnell wouldn’t have released a questionable photo of him and his wife (possible widow) Elaine Chao. Graham was the Republican Senator from South Carolina who was often controversial and more on that in another post. His peopleContinue reading “Who Are They Fooling?”

The Leopard Has Severe Indigestion
I found this image above on a comment section so kudos to whomever made it. I don’t remember where the phrase “I didn’t think the leopard would eat my face” and variants came from. A quick Google search said it was something that became famous on Twitter back during the Fall of 2015 when aContinue reading “The Leopard Has Severe Indigestion”
Daylight Savings Time Begins
Well, Daylight Savings Time begins again from now until Nov. 1. And of course, the $64,000 question is why do we keep doing this? Can’t we keep time permanent? We created it. It’s not like it’s moving mountains. The first week or so during this period is the worst time for people. Our bodies are off their system. Statistically, thereContinue reading “Daylight Savings Time Begins”
