Weigh-In Wednesday – Things To Be Said

Insurance companies by nature are about as close as you can get to organized crime syndicates, and you having to deal with them is made compulsory by the government. They collect your money, endlessly. And then when you need them, they’ll find ANY reason they can come up with to not do what they promised, and cover your costs.

More Movie Fun

Check this out! Last September I got to be an extra in a Lifetime movie named Staged Killer –  these movies are either Merry Christmas or Murder Characters. There’s no in between. But even as an extra I got some quality face-time with the camera. Enough that I’m even in the trailer six times!  Two are pretty obvious. See if you can find the others.  Heck, let’s make it a contest! Find me, and list the times I’m on screen, I’ll figure out a cool prize for the person who gives me the right answer first!

Friday Writing Challenge – For What It’s Worth

We set these ideals that we fail to achieve
Expecting of others what we won’t even give
The understanding, and forgiveness
For just being flawed humans

Weigh-In Wednesday – Progressive Thinking

The very notion of conservativism is based on fear: fear of change, and the fear of death, and with that, the desire to stop evolution in its tracks. They want time to stand still for them, not realizing that there are generations that exist, and will exist far beyond their own lifetimes, that depend on evolution.
