Why is it I always look back at a decision I made and in retrospect, realize, Dumb, Dumb, Dumb?

Why can't I see this before I make a decision and save myself a lot of time and trouble? I'm talking about financial decisions(which usually really hurt), life decisions, what I call mood decisions(w…

Why is it my natural inclination is to root for the underdog?

I think part of the answer is that I've lost so often in my life from sports, to getting the girl, to races, whatever and you name it, I swear it seems like I've cornered the market on losing. That h…

Live life simply. One of my favorite things to do is watch the stars on a clear night.

Also, when it is lightening before a storm at night, the sky lighting up is just beautiful. The thunder scares my cats, which always follows a lightening flash. Sometimes these storms can go on for s…

All I hear these days is Get out of Debt, Get out of Debt, Get out of Debt. Well, practically speaking that is not possible.

About 60% plus of americans are homeowners and have a mortgage. That is most likely a 30 year debt. If you own a car, that is a 4-8 year debt. If you went to college, it will take years if not decade…

Well we have all heard it before, life is not about the destination, but the journey.

The final destination is a comfortable retirement where we can sit around all day and putter around, watch T.V. and be lazy. At least that seems like a paradise for so many, because we don't have to…

One thing I do every day, except on Sunday, I check the mail!

Yes, I mean snail mail(postal service) because I still get some bills, magazines, paychecks(auctions),holiday cards and yes, of course advertisements. Sometimes I even use mail order catalogs to buy…

Today is the first day of the rest of your life! or a hundred mile walk begins with the first step!

You know, how true. We've all heard these cute little sayings before and somehow don't take them seriously, but I think we should. It keeps all of us from getting too bogged down in the everyday conc…

Why do we have to sleep several hours (4-8) every day?

It seems like such a waste of time, doesn't it? Don't get me wrong, I like to sleep as much as anyone, it is a kind of rejuvenation. I'm no expert, but I do know if we do not sleep for something like…

President Trump is the best thing to happen to this country.

Can you imagine if hillary were elected president? Despite all the media attacks on President Trump, he continues to press on with his goals of changing the way government operates and the biggest hi…

I love TV/Movies about time machines.

Some might find this crazy but, I loved the 70's and I want to go back to that simpler time. Rotary phones, yaaaayyy! and you couldn't get away if you wanted to talk privately. You had to plan a time…
