Why Gen X is the Worst Generation
I must say it appears that Gen X is the most annoying generation so far. I was born in the early 1970's so that means I am a Gen Xer and most of my generation are annoying, taking about a time that never existed. I thought the Baby Boomers and the Greatest Generation were annoying when I was a kid but Gen X takes the cake. They complain about Gen Z being weak, which I agree, but whose fault is that?

What Happened When I Saw a Black Bear
Yesterday, I passed by a black bear as I was hiking. He was leaning on a boulder, eating a rabbit for lunch. As I was passing him, he looked me straight in the eyes, with blood dripping from his mouth. He paused for a long time, silently staring into my soul.

A Very Honest Date. Top Story - December 2023.
The waitress was very fat and I did not like her hair, but she had a good attitude as she guided me to my seat. The restaurant was not full on a Friday, so I guessed that the concert next door was still on and that it would fill up with people who had terrible taste in music later (the group playing truly sucked). I knew that my name was on the reservation list, but I still had a twenty ready in case she gave me a hassle.

Elon Musk: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
Elon Musk, the eccentric billionaire and entrepreneur, has become a household name synonymous with innovation, controversy, and occasional absurdity.

The BEST Funeral Ever
The king is dead, long live the king. He lay in repose in an orange taffeta lined casket, draped in multiple American flags. Garish? Yes. Unexpected, no. The bloom on his cheek, drawn on as in life. He smelt vaguely of fried chicken as a slight grease stain spread on the taffeta.

I Don't Want Lunch, I Want Dinner!. Content Warning.
I was brought up with Breakfast, Dinner, Tea, and Supper. Today, I have a desperate dilemma! My children were brought up the same way, but now they are older; lunch has become tea, and dinner has become a mid-morning meal!

Preamble to the Constitution of the United Vegetables of the Refrigerator Crisper
Author’s note: A friend challenged me to rewrite the preamble to the US Constitution including the phrase “…in order to form a more perfect onion” which for some reason this friend found particularly hilarious. I thought it was kind of cute too and decided to accept the challenge. It was actually fairly difficult but I do like what I managed to come up with.

Lost Ice Cream. Content Warning.
When I was four years old, I experienced an amazing adventure at the park that is still fresh in my mind. That sunny weekend, my parents took me to the park to give me a precious escape from the stressful life at school. They were chatting away with their relatives while I had the opportunity to explore this free territory to my heart's content.

The Five Types of Meat You Get in Heaven. Top Story - November 2023.
Note: my head has been in a weird place over the last few days. I have just lost my godmother after a very long illness, and even though it was not a surprise, I am still getting used to a world without her love, attitude...and wicked sense of humour. I had this in a notebook for quite a while, and I needed a laugh at the exact moment when I rediscovered it this morning. The title of Mitch Albom's book was perfect for a parody...
