Whatever Happened to Common Sense?

Whatever Happened to Common Sense?

I seriously am starting to fear for the future of this country. Whatever happened to common sense? Human being seem to have lost all sense of logical thought and the downfall of humanity is sure to follow. We have manufactures putting labels on coolers that tell parents not to put babies in them. Someone gets burned by hot coffee from a … Read more

To Judge is Human. To Keep Your Mouth Shut is Polite.

There are a lot of opinionated people in this world.  To find them, all you have to do is scroll through Facebook for a few minutes.  People on Facebook have opinions on all sorts of things and they are more than willing to share them with you.  Whether you want those opinions or not.  See a good recipe?  Bet there … Read more

They spend a ton of money and apparently have no clue how to stop doing that. But, sometimes the government does some really good stuff too. … Read more

Earlier this afternoon I went outside to shake out my bathroom rug and took a look at my front door.  I’m pretty sure that today was the first time that door had been opened in weeks.  The door was covered in cobwebs and the porch was buried under a layer of leaves.  A sad state of affairs for something that … Read more

Being Cool is Highly Overrated

I have two teenagers who are at ‘that age’ in life when all of a sudden, ‘cool’ is becoming important.  Kids are starting to divide themselves into small groups based on coolness.  Herds of mildly uncool teens wander the halls while small packs of ‘really cool’ kids stand in the corner and silently mock them. At least silent mocking doesn’t … Read more
