I live in a house with 3 ladies. My wife who adores me and would do anything for me, and my two daughters who worship the very ground I walk on. Hey, this is my blog, and as the Blog Name suggests, it’s, “Because Jim Says”. The whole female thing is a mystery to me. … Continue reading A Cup is a Cup

Kids today…..
I know what you’re thinking while reading this. You’re thinking, “Wow, this Jim guy seems to always have a good time and always has such wonderful insights, I bet people must line up to hear his ‘Words of Wisdom’”. You would be mistaken on that last part. For now. Sometimes I have to roll up … Continue reading Kids today…..
The Story Of Biden
Biden came to us on a sunny winter day. We had recently lost a valued member of our family, our cat Gibbs, and grief stricken, Lisa said, “We have to get another cat right away”. But I said, “No. You don’t get a cat, a cat gets you”. Not long had past when Lisa found … Continue reading The Story Of Biden
The Little Kernel That Could
So ……. (Don’t you hate it when my posts start that way)? I’m popping popcorn and as I’m watching it spin around, I had a few thoughts. We have one of those countertop popping machines, oh yeah, we fancy here in Sumstine-land. I’m not sure if I feel badly for that kernel that didn’t pop, … Continue reading The Little Kernel That Could
Happy Pride Month
Gonna try to not be too political here. Sorry about that if I do. But it’s Pride Month – and yes, I acknowledge it, accept it and celebrate it. I had to look up what “PRIDE” stands for. Found out it’s: Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Diversity and Excellence. Okay – who wouldn’t want to celebrate that? … Continue reading Happy Pride Month
Planes Trains and Automobiles (and Ubers)

Lisa and I decided that a trip to Disney was warranted for such an occasion. We have that house down there, so Lisa went a week before us and … Continue reading Planes Trains and Automobiles (and Ubers)
Possessions
I know most of my posts are on the humorous side and some are even a bit absurd. I might take a different approach and talk about something a bit more serious. This might be a bit lengthy, but it’s something I am writing more for me. But you’re welcome to read. Something happened recently. … Continue reading Possessions
Many Differences
Differences can be big or small. Some might be inconsequential while others might be HUGE. In this post I will depart my wisdom, acquired over my 50 years of experience and observation. Well, that, and occasionally being yelled at … I’ve read the “Men Are From Mars and Women Are From Venus” book, and it’s … Continue reading Many Differences
Word Of The Day is ….. “Ugh”
It’s been a while since I posted anything – my apologies. Yes, I know, you turn on your laptop or you grab your phone hoping for my latest word, only to be disappointed. Sorry. I always have the best of intentions to take a few minutes out of my day to create a literary masterpiece, … Continue reading Word Of The Day is ….. “Ugh”
Opportunity Denied
Great opportunities don’t present themselves often. But on rare occasions, you might have that one chance to do something no one else has ever done, or to be a part of something that is bigger than yourself. A chance to be the first. A chance to be an original. Michelangelo could be, perhaps, the most … Continue reading Opportunity Denied
