Wordless Wednesday: Just Give Me a Sign…
I came across this sign in my city two weeks ago and walked in the direction the arrow pointed. It didn’t lead anywhere in particular, but oddly I’ve had some very good luck since then.
Have a great Wednesday! ~Phil

Top Ten Tuesday! The Ten Most Painful Things That Have Ever Happened To Me
Keeping in mind that pain and experiences are very subjective, here are the ten most painful things I’ve ever experienced.
10. Stubbing only my pinky toe:This is the worst isn’t it? Especially because it’s never expected. I’ve done this several times because there is absolutely no way to prevent it from happening unless I wear steel-toed boots all the time.
9. Tore a tricep muscle in a scooter accident:You know those little razor scooters that used to be popular among kids? (see picture below)...

Give Until it Hurts, Somebody: Weird Charities
Picture credit: funnyand.com
This past week I went to a big company meeting for my job. My company donates generously to Save the Children and gives us the opportunity to help through payroll deductions and raffles at our meetings. I heard though that one particular colleague was opposed, not to Save the Children, but to the hotel that we stayed in because it had an affiliation that she was opposed to.
That got me to thinking that with so many large corporations in the world that have all kinds...

Throwback Thursday! When I’m Elected President or Sexiest Man Alive…
(10/1/2013) When I’m elected President, or Sexiest Man Alive, whichever comes first, I’m going to pass a law stating that parking garages can only charge you for the time your car is parked. If you take a ticket when you enter and it takes you ten minutes to find a spot you shouldn’t be charged for that. I don’t care if they have to put a ticket machine at each parking spot. Also, if the parking garage is so full that you have to park on the roof of it with your car exposed to the elements yo...

Top Ten Tuesday! Ten Reasons I Want to Live in Hotels Forever
If sometime in hopefully the very near future I win a lottery of approximately 1 trillion dollars I am going to sell my house and car and spend the rest of my life in hotels.
10. No lawn to mow: At hotels I won’t haveany yardwork and yet the hedges will always be impeccably trimmed and sometimes in the whimsical shapes of animals. Or should it be the shapes of whimsical animals? Are animals capable of whimsy? I’m not even sure I am.
9. Housekeeping! Who doesn’t want their room cleaned every day...

Hey Guys, We’re In Trouble
If you’re a guy, reading this may save your life. Ladies, you should read this because you’ll thoroughly enjoy the perspective.
Guys, we’re in trouble. Throughout history men have been the dominant gender because of our advantage in size and muscle mass. I think that may be changing. In my never-ending quest to live forever I’m continually trying to stay in shape. Recently I joined a new gym. I tried a couple classes that approximate Cross Fit. Do you know who’s in these classes? Women. Every...

Throwback Thursdays! Just Clowning Around (9/21/2013)
It was brought to my attention yesterday that my Wordless Wednesday was posted on Thursday. I’ve been so busy this week that I couldn’t finish my Top Ten Tuesday post and I posted my Wordless Wednesday a day late. Keeping with that theme, here’s my Throwback Thursday post. BTW, I don’t think next week is going to be any better. Also I’m sorry I haven’t been able to make it to your blogs lately. I hate when my day job gets in the way of blogging.
I’d like to address a very serious subject that...

Is Big Brother Watching or Are You Watching Big Brother?
Depending on when you were born one of these two pictures will appeal to you more.
A big sarcastic shout out to WordPress for not making it possible to put these pictures side by side in any reasonable way. Depending on when you were born the phrase Big Brother is either a good thing or a bad thing. For those of us born long enough ago to remember George Orwell’s book, this post is for you because in the internet age Big Brother is truly watching you. The following are the ten best search term...
