Ink Blots

Ink Blots – not the ink blot test, however, I am an optimistic = “Random thoughts from customer service” It takes a special person to be a customer service agent.

Helmar’s Handbag

Helmar’s Handbag He carried it with him wherever he went, From inside came nickels and dimes which he spent. But that wasn’t all he carried in his bag, It was his whole life, since he’d turned scalawag. Pictures, trinkets and a tube of red lipstick, His life now nothing but a nasty limerick. There’s a … Continue reading Helmar’s Handbag

Gift Giving

I tried to come up with something for G all weekend. Something clever, something meaningful. Something that would knock your socks off.  My muse was not kind over the weekend.  I was dwelling on some self-pity.  Something didn’t go my way, and I was overlooked for  something I did that I thought was outstanding! Don’t … Continue reading Gift Giving

By dropping a few thousand dollars into the place, house-flipper entrepreneur Jackson Tinkerton knew he’d make double, probably triple the profit when he resold the place. The little house wasn’t much to look at on … Continue reading Digby’s Treasure

Cheating the System

CHEATING THE SYSTEM It’s funny when you hear that word, “cheating” you immediately jump to the defense. People want to believe they are good and pure and would never cheat. Cheat on a test in school, cheat on your taxes, or cheat the waitress out of a tip. Personally, I like to pride myself at … Continue reading Cheating the System

Aspirations of the Asinine

Aspirations of the Asinine Every day will be perfect, and nothing will ever go wrong, Difficult choices are only made in a sad country song. We’re all equal; no nepotism must we live through, People understand us and see things as we do. Why can’t we all just get along? In a world we just … Continue reading Aspirations of the Asinine
