Jim's Take

My Take on Life and Events

SO MANY UPDATES !!!

I don’t even know where to begin. I’ll start with the most disturbing. NO – my snake like super powers have still not manifested themselves.  I’m a patient man – but my patience has it’s limits. I'm okay with being a mortal human. However, I am prepared for my special super hero powers to take … Continue reading SO MANY UPDATES !!! →

Who’s in the wrong?

I don’t know what to call this. An annoyance? A pet peeve? I don’t know. The other day I got gas. As I waited at the pump, I saw a lady come out of the store and begin pumping gas at the pump across from me. And in the passenger seat sat a guy, kind … Continue reading Who’s in the wrong? →

Death and Taxes

Seems that is the only two things that are certain. Or is it? Nope – there is one more thing that is constant, and dare I say, certain. Yes, certain. I’m a person of habit.  I like certain things done certain ways. But I am also adventuresome.  I’ll try new things. And often, when trying … Continue reading Death and Taxes →

Toast

I just toasted a piece of rye bread. In the toaster. It took a bit longer because rye bread isn’t square cut, so I put it in length-wise, then when done, I flipped it to toast the other side that was sticking out of the toaster. And it got me thinking because I had extra … Continue reading Toast →

Changing the Look

When looking into trying to improve BecauseJimSays I saw something about changing the font. Um…… nah. I don’t like serifs too much.  You know, the serif, the little hooks that are on certain letters.  I try not to use fonts that have them. I don’t have a choice of fonts on my blog. It changes … Continue reading Changing the Look →

It’s All About the Name

Since my other post, “Isn’t Google Cool?”, I wanted to find out how other bands got their names.  Here’s just a few more. - This band, formed in 1968, went under many different names.  Seems they had performed pretty badly in a place, but wanted to play there again and give it another shot, so … Continue reading It’s All About the Name →

My Quandary

I’m in a bit of a quandary. Or is it a dilemma? No, it’s definitely more of a quandary. See, a dilemma has a negative connotation.  It implies something might go wrong. In this, I don’t think anything could go “wrong”, but I’m troubled. On Friday, 2/2/2024 I tied my Wordle Max Streak.                *Side … Continue reading My Quandary →

The NON-Joys of Snow

It’s been a while since we had a good snowfall.  That’s not a bad thing. In my MUCH younger days, I enjoyed a good snow. It meant time off school. It meant time to play in the snow with friends. It meant sledding down a hill. But now it means only 1 thing. Ugh……. I … Continue reading The NON-Joys of Snow →

Coming Back

The difference between a good comeback and a complete collapse is really just a matter of sides. Who doesn’t love a good comeback? Um … I guess Detroit Lions fans don’t. Up 17 at the half, Lions’ fans were looking at hotel reservations in Las Vegas and perhaps many had already purchased airline tickets. Nope. … Continue reading Coming Back →

I Can Not

NO NO NO And again, just for dramatic effect – NO !!! I’m very excited for the Olympics.  Paris 2024 Winter Olympics. I’m here for it.  While the Summer Olympics are more enjoyable for me, I do enjoy The Winter Olympics. There are events I like and some that I pay no attention to at … Continue reading I Can Not →
