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

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
Cheese and Crackers
Life is hard.Not “stub your toe and move on” hard.I’m talking existential dread with a side of breaking news alert hard. EVERY SINGLE DAY !!! Everywhere you turn—news, politics, religion, social media—it’s like walking into a room where everyone is already yelling…and nobody remembers why. Hate.Hate.HATE. I hate all the hate. And then…the other night… … Continue reading Cheese and Crackers
On a Serious Note:
Every once in a while, life taps you on the shoulder and says, “Hey… pay attention to this part.” The last three or four months have been full of those moments.

Who Is This Guy, Anyway?

You know the line: “Can I be Frank?” Which basically translates to: “Hey, brace yourself, because I’m about to tell you something you didn’t ask for and may not … Continue reading Who Is This Guy, Anyway?
Reality Strikes Again
I drive by a house on my work to work a lot lately. It’s a nice house on a nice plot of land. It’s around a farm, so it’s possible these people farm the land, not sure. In the front yard of the home, they proudly fly their Confederate Flag. I’m a staunch proponent of … Continue reading Reality Strikes Again
The Good ‘Ole Days
I’ve always been fascinated by history. Not just people and places, but I’m also fascinated by where something came from. Maybe it’s an object or something that happened and I want to know the origin of where it came from. Or perhaps it’s a phrase that we use in our own culture. As you might … Continue reading The Good ‘Ole Days
I’ve Been Had
But not just me. Nope. You’ve been had too. We’ve all been had. See, many years ago, decades even, the country needed something. We needed something to believe in. And we found something. Something big, something that gave us a strong belief, a feeling of strength and togetherness. And it made sense. It all made … Continue reading I’ve Been Had
Blinded Me
Of course ….. with science ….. Sometimes I see or hear things and it makes me think, “Wow – how did I not know that?” Like this …… I’ve always liked the group Foreigner. In a post several years ago, I wrote about a few different bands and how they came up with their name … Continue reading Blinded Me
