Remember back in the day when frozen fish sticks were simply frozen fish sticks. I remember them at school lunch. I never had a problem with them. If memory serves, I think I kind of liked them. And honestly, I kind of like them today. And I’m a grown ass man and everything. But that … Continue reading The Battles We Never Knew

What’s The Word?
I’m trying to think of a word that might possibly describe either me or my mood today. The only one that fits is crotchety. I’m just damn crotchety today. I was having a perfectly decent day.Got a few things done.Made a few calls.Landed a decent job. Then I had to interact with another human being. … Continue reading What’s The Word?
What’s His Story?
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
Do They Even Know
Tall people know they’re tall.Short people know they’re short. I’m old.And I know I’m old. “But you’re only as old as you feel.” Bite me. I’m old.And I know it. But stupid people…Do they know they’re stupid? MY GOD — that’s an entire BecauseJimSays post right there.It practically writes itself. But back to me. Because… … Continue reading Do They Even Know
Sneezy
There are some things about me you might not know.And then there are things you absolutely know… whether you wanted to or not. 1 example I am a loud sneezer. Not “oh, excuse me” loud.Not “polite tissue dab” loud. I’m talking:sonic boom meets gunshot meets small controlled explosion. And just when you think it’s over……it’s … Continue reading Sneezy
