Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Philosophy, PoetryToday, as you raise your hand to the driver that just cut you off, think
Choose to raise that middle finger, or give a friendly wave
Today, when the children learn that a whole roll of toilet paper won’t flush, think
Yell at them, or give them a hug and tell them it is ok to make mistakes
Today, when you miss the deadline again, think
Self-flaggelate to no end, or focus and get it done
Today, when your loved one snaps at you in stress, think
Sulk away and be hurt, or smile and give a hug
Today, think
Because sometimes tomorrow never comes.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : HumorThe girls at one of the lads will listen to your commands at The Carwash. This has an element of Zork along with an element of Playboy. Work questionable. And here is a list of commands (these words might offend) for when you get bored trying your own.
YIKES! Pasted that list without reading it!
I tried a couple of words and saw nothing any less tasteful than a trip to your local Hooters but viewer beware! “Herbie” was funny btw.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : PhilosophyWe all know that if you need money and go to a bank that you’ll be laughted away. That’s why the working poor can’t get consolidation loans or emergency loans during tough times. Only people with money can get money which isn’t right.
The same thing applies to health care. Poor people can’t get dental care. Poor people can’t get medications when needed. Let’s say a poor person was feeling down because their situation had grown worse and they were concerned that they may not be able to feed their family. They get depressed which affects their job performance and they bring home less money making it more difficult to feed the family. Now, perhaps Prozac or Zoloft or something would help. But the poor person doesn’t have insurance and has to choose between going to the doctor and feeding the family. Of course, then there is the huge outlay of cash for the drugs.
So while the weathly can get Vicodin for “headaches” and recreation, the poor can’t get necessary medicines. I don’t know the fix but something needs to change.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Philosophy, PoetryThe game of life is hard to play
I’m going to lose it anyway
The losing card I’ll someday lay
So this is all I have to say
The only way to win is cheat
And lay it down before I’m beat
And to another give a seat
For that’s the only painless feat
