An Introduction… Over the course of time my parents softened to the idea of allowing me to be around the girls outside of school. Beth, Kelly, and Renee all lived in a housing addition that was a few miles from my home. We had made plans to do a sleep over. The excitement that I was experiencing was unforgettable. I had not gone to a sleep over for close to five years. We were all going to Beth's house. Her parents had a large...more

People are weird! Not ground breaking but true. I've been around a lot of people of all shapes and sizes, everyone with such different personalities that it's hard to fathom we are all of the same species. Most of us just ignore the truly weird guys, the ones who stink and talk to themselves on the bus. But what about the one who stinks of colon and talks to himself via blue tooth.

And anyone who says otherwise is lying to themselves. We don't necessarily judge based off of race (although that still happens) but rather we base on situations. Take the above situation: you're on a bus there are only two empty sits. The one next to the stinky bum talking to himself or the pompous working stiff in a suit who stinks and is talking to himself on the phone...who do you sit next to? Thought so. We all do it. If you had a choice you'd pick the stiff over the bum, even I...more

It's another matter that after more than 20 years of pontificating, the "experts" are no closer to finding a solution...more
