Comment by Justin Carver on August 8, 2011 at 3:21pm: A few months ago a co-worker was greatly distressed because his lawn was starting to look like a good years harvest of wheat. His wife kept him so busy on his days off that he never had time to take care of it. She felt that there were other, more important things to take care of than ones lawn. I was greatly troubled by his woeful tale and out of my intense commiseration flowed this inspired word of encouragement.

"It should be understood that a well kept lawn is a psychological need, not a trivial obsession. When a man’s lawn isn't well maintained it is a perpetual weight that looms over his whole psyche causing disturbances in normal everyday activities. It is a constant distraction that claws and nags at you keeping you up nights and on edge throughout the day. It should be taken as seriously as breathing, as natural as eating, as automatic as thinking. An un-mown lawn is like a house without a roof, a car without tires, as tragic as a life never lived. Hang in there, the sun will shine again! These dark days will pass. A day will come when every lawn will be mowed, every garden weeded, every leaf raked, every rogue stick gathered and burned with unquenchable fire."

It was just a few hours after my brother had been discharged from hospital for a hernia operation. We were all in stitches...

Comment by Gary Paul Coon on March 29, 2010 at 9:44am: Here is something I just read that made me laugh. It's from Wikipedia about C S Lewis...
Lewis's book A Grief Observed describes his experience of bereavement [from his recently deceased wife, Joy] in such a raw and personal fashion that Lewis originally released it under the pseudonym N.W. Clerk to keep readers from associating the book with him. However, so many friends recommended the book to Lewis as a method for dealing with his own grief that he made his authorship public.

Comment by Gary Paul Coon on March 26, 2010 at 10:45pm: Reminds me of Dogberry in Much Ado About Nothing:

O villain! thou wilt be condemned into everlasting
redemption for this.

Comment by Jeff Siemens on February 19, 2010 at 9:43pm: Exactly...! :)

Comment by KD's Korner on February 19, 2010 at 9:24pm: Jeff...

I love it when UNKOWN is a choice under gender :D

I would be worried about anybody who chooses that :P

Comment by Jeff Siemens on January 3, 2010 at 11:31pm: Wow! I just noticed that on my profile page under my photo where it provides city and state that I had also clicked on "male". As if I needed to indicate my gender. Can just imagine all of the people who have checked into my profile page over this past year and wondered about that and about someone that would need to tell them his gender despite a photo. Another one of my inadvertant stumbles onto humor. Oh well, I continue to show my humanity to all who would care to notice.
