Had a conversation the other day. Well, it wasn’t a “conversation” in the normal sense of the word. You know — a conversation where two or more people are speaking. This was more of an internal dialogue I was having with… something else. Yes, something. Not someone. A fly. Ok, so here’s the deal. I … Continue reading What’s His Story?

I Must Confess
Let me start off by saying: “It meant nothing.” I mean it.Truly.It meant nothing. It was a one-time thing. I was by myself.I was in Florida.And it was hot. So, so hot. You were back home in Delaware.Hundreds of miles away.And I needed it. I needed it bad. Then I heard about this place.Someone mentioned … Continue reading I Must Confess
Forget Me Not
There are two types of people in this world: 1. People who forget things. 2. People who think they don’t forget things… but just forgot that they do. I, for one, like to stay humble… so I forget things constantly just to keep myself grounded. When I was young you couldn’t tell me anything. See, … Continue reading Forget Me Not
Just Passed Go
This is my 200th post on my blog BecauseJimSays. That’s twice as many as I had when I only had 100. And if you’ve read all 200 – thank you. If you haven’t – get to it !!! When I pass “GO” in Monopoly, I get $200. In this day and age, with inflation going … Continue reading Just Passed Go
I Must Confess
I need to confess something… I made chicken and dumplings for the first time in my life…on Cinco de Mayo. 5/5/2026 Yeah… I know. Judge me if you want—that’s not even the bad part. Not even close I didn’t cook the chicken. I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken… Yup. And since we’re already here… I … Continue reading I Must Confess
The Epic Unspoken Battle
There is a struggle.There is a strategy.There is a desired outcome. It’s different for everyone—but make no mistake… It’s there. We act nonchalant.We pretend it’s no big deal.We look straight ahead like emotionally stable adults. HA !!! But it’s there.The elephant in the room. Completely unspoken. We’ve all been there—wedged next to a complete stranger … Continue reading The Epic Unspoken Battle
Traffic Is Like ……
You know, pooping is a lot like traffic …. The other day I had someplace I needed to be to take care of this urgent matter. URGENT !!! But I was rushing it - hit that rush hour traffic. I was stuck in traffic. Kind of felt like the car was overheating a bit, but … Continue reading Traffic Is Like ……
The Wait
You know how they say,“It’ll be worth the wait”? Spoiler alert… it’s usually not. The other day, I had to “take a sales call.”You know… THAT moment when the second cup of coffee and your kinda-sorta spicy lunch decide to tag team you. So off I go. Phew… made it in time. But dang… forgot … Continue reading The Wait
They Can’t Fool Me
Actually… they already did.And they do it every day. I grew up with a pretty good sense of time.And with time came distance.And with distance came measurement. I could look at something way off and tell you how far away it was—a couple hundred yards… a mile… close enough to matter. I spent a lot … Continue reading They Can’t Fool Me
More Differences
There are several differences among the people living in the Sumstine household. Now, even though the blog is called BecauseJimSays—and yes… LITERALLY—I’m not saying my way is the right way. I’m just saying… there are differences. Eating, for example, is a complete free-for-all in this house. We do not eat the same. Me?I’m a complete … Continue reading More Differences
