One Of My Very Own

A WEEK OF PURE TERROR
One of the best doctors in the state scheduled my wife for a round of Chemo and Radiation. When we finally went to the Cancer Institute for treatment they discovered that my wife's malady could be cured with minor outpatient surgery. We went from one of our lowest lows to our highest high in a matter of minutes. It's like being handed our lives back and we have never been so thankful.
PONDERABLES
Imagine having enough money that you could end child hunger and deciding that you just don't want to. Imagine that.
Consider the Waltons. Their company makes a gross amount of money which we will label X. Every expense (Y) required to make that money must be subtracted to equal their net profit (Z).
X-Y=Z.
Every cent they save in the Y is added to the Z. And they think that it is moral to pay their employees so little that they qualify for food stamps to increase their Z. I happen to think that is immoral. I have been told that it's their right to do so, and I agree. But not all that is legal is moral.
I think that the primary function of government is the welfare of the citizenry...Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That is what I consider the modern definition of Socialism.
And if you have many of your citizens dying or going bankrupt because they can't afford health insurance and if you imprison more people than any other country, and if you have a skyrocketing suicide rate then maybe we need to make some changes.
My main objection to the super-rich is their ability to buy legislators. The Founding Fathers had no idea that this would be possible.
14. Years. Old.
Indeed.
Or find a job you actually enjoy. Nobody made you take a job that requires you to sit in a cubicle most of your waking hours.
I'm not sure I understand that.
Somebody help me.
As a Southerner, this whole Confederacy worship embarrasses me.
WIFE: I had a dream we went shopping at Target.
ME: How much did we spend?
WIFE:
ME: HOW MUCH DID WE SPEND?!
GET LEARNT
You're gonna be living in a river down by the van.
Actually, that is an excellent solution to the problem.
The caption stated:
"Close your eyes 80% to see Van Gogh self-portrait"
Do you think those instructions were necessary?
UPDATE: They had to wear diapers on their return trip. When asked about it, one of the astronauts said, "It was less than optimal."

The devil put those fossils there to test your faith.
So what? The surgeon didn't ask me to locate my gall bladder before he cut it out. Hell, Americans have trouble identifying all of our own states.
Poland bathtub in a mansion abandoned.
And to think, many countries will more or less give you an abandoned property like that if you agree to fix it up.
Have you ever seen a balloon vending machine?
I am always fascinated by that.

Thinking about how if early humans had obituaries how many of them would just read, “He tried a new kinda berry.”

He only knows how to type with his thumbs.
We've all had days like that, haven't we?
Home-baked bread.
I can imagine them being entered in a regional fair.
That true!
Where could that be?
They were probably hesitant but then saw the sign that says:
