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

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

Sometimes I feel it my duty to not only entertain myself, but also to inform you, the reader. See, there are things you might not be aware of. Things that you never … Continue reading You’re welcome
Checks Not Accepted.
I am owed. Yes, I am owed, and it might be a substantial amount. But do I expect to see it? Nope. Not a dime. Not a single dime. Recently, I went to a restaurant and it was burger night and the burger started at $10 if my memory serves. Want cheese? Add $1. Want … Continue reading Checks Not Accepted.
Words
Words, not of wisdom …. Nope, just words …. Recently I started squeezing blueberries into my coffee. It’s quite the taste. I pulverize several blueberries into my mug before I use my Keurig for coffee. *Side Note 1 – you do remember my love for my Keurig, as written in my very first post … Continue reading Words
She’s On The List
Yes – I do have a list. And make no mistake – it’s a real list. And once on it – that person is on it. It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to happen – but – if it does happen, then hey, they were on the list. My list is called, “People I Want … Continue reading She’s On The List
The Forgotten
One thing about 14 (soon to be 15) year old Charlotte – she is not a morning girl. This school year, she seems to have turned the page a little. She’s a bit more conversational as we ride to school in the morning, but mostly she enjoys the quiet time before heading into school. One … Continue reading The Forgotten
Bad, Bad Jim
What makes you a bad person? Is it that you’re an absolute bad person all the time, or is it that you might commit one bad act? If you commit one bad act, then are you automatically a bad person overall, or can you redeem yourself. Maybe you can perform a restitution to make good … Continue reading Bad, Bad Jim
Random Thoughts and Updates

Plus – I have a few random thoughts. Update or random thought – I’ll let you figure … Continue reading Random Thoughts and Updates
Bad Attitude
“I got a bad attitude about this”. That’s one of our new favorite sayings around the Sumstine house. Lisa’s work husband (who shall remain nameless but most people who know us know who he is) said this about somethings that he was anticipating and he already new he didn’t like what was about to go … Continue reading Bad Attitude
