As a girl dad, I’ve learned something important. There are many things I do not understand. That’s how my last post started. BUT. There is one thing I thought I understood. And I was confident. So so confident.Confident in my logic.Confident in my reasoning.Confident that my careful thought process would not only be appreciated… but … Continue reading The Life of a Girl Dad (continued ….)

Puzzled.
Yes, I am puzzled. Actually, I think I live in a perpetual state of “huh?” Here’s my latest crisis: temperature is apparently a social construct. 69 degrees means “I’m sweating to death” in July but “please bring me a sweater and a priest” in October. Same number. Completely different emotional trauma. I’m not even talking … Continue reading Puzzled.
Another Conundrum
Needed a new utility knife yesterday to do some work on a site. Off I go to Lowes and got that a few other things. Now, I understand the reason things are packaged as they are. Things get stolen right there in the store, taken out of the packaging and put in the pockets. I … Continue reading Another Conundrum
Best if Used By
I know the purpose of expiration dates. And yes, many things might “expire” by a certain date. Milk for example - I get it. But even that date can be arbitrary. While it is a suggestion, it is a STRONG suggestion. But there have been times when the date on the milk is a day … Continue reading Best if Used By
This Has Got to Stop.
But I know it’s not going to. It’s with both excitement and quite a bit of sadness that I tell you – my oldest has turned 20. 20. TWENTY. I’m not ready for that. I’m just getting used to this adulting thing myself, I was dragged into it kicking and screaming. It used to problems … Continue reading This Has Got to Stop.
“That’s Just Unconscious Knowledge”
And if you know what song that is from, pat yourself on the back and give yourself +1 pt One of the things I do, is I try to enrich people’s lives with random knowledge. After all, you never know when Jeopardy might be calling, and you want to be prepared. We all know that … Continue reading “That’s Just Unconscious Knowledge”
Never Have I Ever
As 2024 comes to an end and I think about the year ahead, I’m thinking about things I haven’t done. Maybe 2025 will see me doing new things. I’ve never eaten a wrap. I’ve had burritos and enchiladas but never had a wrap. Nothing against them, just never made one and there were always other … Continue reading Never Have I Ever
The Enabler.
While I am many things, let’s add enabler to the list. Going to The Lion yesterday to get a few things, I got a text from my daughter who’s leaving the next morning to go back to school. Knowing I was going to The Lion she asked me to get her something. “Can you get … Continue reading The Enabler.
BecauseJimSays is Hiring
Yes, you saw that right. I have a position open and I’m looking for the right person. Are you that person? Do you feel you’re in a dead-end job and you need something that could lead to something? Do you feel unmotivated in your current work and you want a job that excites you? Do … Continue reading BecauseJimSays is Hiring
AITA
Ok - some of you may know what that means. For those of you that don’t… On long road trips, Lisa will often get on the Reddit Ap and read the section where people post an experience and then ask, “Am I The Asshole?” I’ve often wanted to post a few of these, but I … Continue reading AITA
