Reasons to stay in shape

Reason 1 is that I need to maintain a healthy lifestyle since diabetes and heart disease runs on both sides of my family tree.
Reason 2 is that it will make me feel better about myself. Instead of lamenting how I gained 7 pounds in one week…don’t ask….I need to do something about it and not [...]

Considering the state of the economy and how many people have lost their jobs….getting ready to lose their jobs.
Where do these oil companies get the balls to raise their costs? 
Isn’t the billion$ of dollar$ in profit they have already made, are making enough?

Milwaukee

My aunt who is a GS 11 for the Social Security Administration in Milwaukee turned in my resume to her head supervisor.  One of the guys on her team wondered why the hell I would want to move up there?  (Uhmmm….is it any of his business?)  My aunt kind of told him off also…..I take [...]

People change

One of the hardest things to deal with is when you outgrow someone.  They are still in the same mindset as they were back in high school.  You would think after years of livin’ they would at least be more receptive to how you work…your thoughts….the way you look at the world.  People are suppose [...]

It’s the killer of dreams or the catharsis of generating new ones.
It can break a person down
Or build them up
Boredom is the lack of imagination

It’s how you view the world, how the world sees you..what [...]
