“IT’S IN YOUR HEAD” TWO OPTIONS when a doctor (and especially when someone else) says: “It’s just in your head.” FIRST OPTION: The doctor is right. (I wouldn’t trust the someone else at all). The brain and body sometimes don’t play together well. People who have had amputations experience “phantom pain” or an itch where the limb would otherwise be. …

GUEST POST from Don – Preparing for Widowhood, part I
PREPARING FOR WIDOWHOOD, part I Icky subject! We don’t want to need this kind of information. We wish death was not a reality, but people do die. ALL of my ancestors are dead. I think my time will come, too. When one does, the spouse may be left to pick up the pieces. Younger adults should have life insurance policies …

GUEST POST from Don – Dropping People
DROPPING PEOPLE One young voter cut off his friend BECAUSE he voted for a different candidate. Some agitators are suggesting that it may be appropriate to drop a friendship BECAUSE that friend works in the data mining industry. Cancel culture has moved on into hidden areas of our lives. Evil always goes to the shadows …

GUEST POST from Don – Leaders
BAD/GOOD LEADERS Every country in the world has had bad leaders. America actually is better than most (though that’s not much of a horn to blow). The prime reason for bad leaders is that leadership attracts the wrong type of person. They are usually FULL of themselves and have no moral qualms. Again, America’s leaders seem to be at …

GUEST POST from Don – Wrong Question = Wrong Answer
WRONG QUESTION = WRONG ANSWER Can we go to Mars? Wrong Question. Should we go to Mars? Much better question. Why? Because if we figure out that we SHOULD then we will figure out the ABILITY issue. Ability is not enough reason to do anything. My Part D provider doesn’t make as much money off of me if I don’t order …

GUEST POST from Don – We Believed You…Now What?
WE BELIEVED YOU … NOW WHAT? 40 years ago Americans were being told that the earth was warming (bad thing) caused by humans. We believed you and we began to make fewer babies. Twenty years ago only 20% of actual women, age 30, were childless. The most recent survey shows that 40% are childless now. We …

GUEST POST from Don – I’m Not Broke!
“I’M NOT BROKE!” “I still have a credit card app on my phone, so I’m not broke!” Our online society has many tools to deal with finance that were not available last generation. Yet, the current generation is so financially screwed they don’t know where their next i-Phone is coming from. A few generations ago, caught …

GUEST POST from Don – Greed
NOT GREEDY Most well off business owners I have met are not greedy. They just look at money differently than most. They don’t have vaults of money nor do they spend their weekends counting coin. In fact, most of the things that come to your mind when you think of business owners are false. First, why does a …
