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

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.

When Less Isn’t More
I know the expression, “Less is More” and it’s an adage that I adhere to. When I go to buy a shirt, I don’t want to look at 35 different options, maybe 8 to 10 gives me a better visual for the shirt I want. Or, another example, I wear glasses. And when I need … Continue reading When Less Isn’t More
It is NOT Okay
It’s been a while. It’s been more than a while. Too long. Not days. No – it’s been weeks. WEEKS. You see, I fell for their game. DANG IT !!!! They got me. They reeled me in and then … BAMM!!!! They got me. Oh – and I’ve looked. I’ve looked everywhere. EVERYWHERE !!! But … Continue reading It is NOT Okay
I Like This Guy.
Sometimes I see something someone did and it amazes me. I like finding very obscure facts. And I do mean – VERY obscure. Did you know that on this blog you’ve not only found out the history behind giving someone the middle finger, but also the person behind the phrase “Bite Me!”? Who knew you … Continue reading I Like This Guy.
My Partner In Crime.
Charlotte, or as Lisa likes to often refer to her as, “Jim Jr.”, is literally my partner in crime. No – we are not Bonnie and Clyde going on a murderous rampage – but we do go out and have fun. Has anyone reading this heard Arlo Guthrie Jr performing “Alice’s Restaurant Massacre”? If not … Continue reading My Partner In Crime.
Heroes Come and Go.
I had to drive to Philadelphia today to pick something up, and while channel surfing, I came across David Bowie’s “Heroes”. And it made me a bit nostalgic of my past heroes. And as I was driving south on I-95 through Philadelphia, I recalled something that happened to a cousin of mine. I’ve had a … Continue reading Heroes Come and Go.
I Like to Read.
And as we get ready to go to Florida and a trip to Disney, I’m looking forward to maybe (MAYBE) going to the Hall of Presidents. I don’t know how many times I’ve been to Disney and The Magic Kingdom, yet, I’ve not done this attraction. I couldn’t bring myself to put my daughter’s through … Continue reading I Like to Read.
All This Time
Sometimes I get a bit busy. Sometimes I literally need to be two places at the same time doing two different things. Jeez…… My wife and I will often say to each other, “We’re too busy to be this broke”. You know what I mean? But I did it. I found a way to actually … Continue reading All This Time
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
