Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Politics, Sex, Touchy SubjectsWhile I would have to become a recluse living in a cave in the woods and buying nothing from any company to ride my moral high horse, I still don’t have to shop at Hobby Lobby who ships junk from China and resells it at a high markup. (just read this…search for one child per famliy and hypocrisy). Hobby Town sells model rocket engines cheaper than Hobby Lobby and Michaels, A.C. Moore, and Jo Anne’s have all the other stuff…cheaper. So, Hobby Lobby just go stand over there with Exxon and Chick-fil-a.
SCOTUS really screwed the pooch on this one. Sure hope they were wearing a condom. Wonder who paid for the condom?

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeThe worse part of insomnia is the constant nattering between your inner voices…one continuously going over the list of things you could be doing…the other telling you that in five more minutes you’ll fall asleep. Insomnia would be so much better in silence!
add a comment7 Cups of Tea, by Lu Tong (795 – 835 CE) June 29, 2014 2:18 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Philosophy, PoetryThe first cup kisses away my thirst,
and my loneliness is quelled by the second.
The third gives insight worthy of ancient scrolls,
and the fourth exiles my troubles.
My body becomes lighter with the fifth,
and the sixth sends word from immortals.
But the seventh—oh the seventh cup—
if I drink you, a wind will hurry my wings
toward the sacred island.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeSoul for sale: six figures, quality insurance, and a relocation package…the higher the number the greater amount of soul you can have. Want 12-14 hour work days, 7 days a week? Just name the correct figure. Vacation package? Nice but not necessary.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Family, Of Being DadI grow tired of trying to get the children to "use an inside voice." So, I have decided to simply put on my headphones and play the music loud enough to deafen myself.

Back on the health kick June 17, 2014 11:04 am
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeToday I took time to eat breakfast despite the overwhelming desire to rush out the door and just grab some food on the way. I also took time to make my lunch. While this encourages me eating at my desk, it is healthier, mentally more relaxing than fighting traffic and deciding where to eat, and saves money. Hopefully I can make this a trend.
Update: In a moment of weakness, I got some junk food. I opened the package and immediately thought, "that smells disgusting…let’s put it in my mouth." Then I threw it away.
