Here ya go, BigRR - freedumb!

I gotta disagree, BigRR. I don't see smokers as less than human, spent most of my life hanging out with smokers until just the last decade. I know from the experiences of family members and friends that some people who smoke get very addicted and even if they wanted to quit they struggle badly and o...

After 2016 I don't put much stock in polling.

I'm counting on reason and sanity to prevail in November, but I have a very ambitious fitness regimen ongoing so that I will be prepared to hike across the border into Canada a year from now.

I’m having a little sadness that I don’t get to see totality, but I didn’t feel like driving for a day to get to northern Maine and more importantly, dealing with the crowds and traffic. Watching the coverage on TV now makes me glad I decided not to go- the older I get the less I can stand large gat...

Not the same "French Revolution" but my kids had the 25th anniversary Les Miserables concert on last night. When I mentioned that today was Bastille Day, I got the opportunity to both give a history lesson and lament the state of public education in my country. Vive la révolution Reading back throu...

There has been an ongoing debate over the 2012 film production of Les Miserables. Tom Hooper obviously wanted to emphasize the grit of the story and he got some truly excellent performances out of the actors he cast, some of whom were clearly cast more for acting ability than singing chops. Neverthe...

Knowing what we've learned about cigarettes and the tobacco industry, I don't understand why anyone would choose to smoke nowadays. Young people have done stupid things since the beginning of time. Very, very few people start smoking later in life - it's almost always a habit picked up in youth, an...

I started smoking at 13, falling victim to peer pressure. The ugliest truth is that instead of being outraged and punishing me, my mother recruited me as her smoking buddy and even bought me cigarettes. My father had quit but she didn't want to quit so she welcomed having someone to smoke with. At t...

Wouldn't that be dyeing?

And since apparently just one man lives there, that must have taken years to accumulate so much. I'm surprised it has been able to go on for so long. I read a story online that said the outside hoard has been growing since 2016, so that's 8 years of trash. They've apparently been fined and have pai...

Hoarding is a notoriously difficult mental disorder to treat and/or cure. The reality shows about hoarders really disgust me, because they focus on the hoard and cleaning the hoard and nothing about the mental health treatment required to help the hoarder. Most hoarders will begin replacing a lost h...

Just imagine what the inside of the house looks like.

Hoarding is such a sad mental disorder.
