We have a family friend who is in a bad way right now. He's actually my mother's hairdresser and he's as gay as the day is long. He's a good man. A very sweet and friendly man. And no, I don't mean that as a pun. He has a conscience

Wednesday Motivational – A Little Class Goes A Long Way
Author's Note: The subtitle this week is perhaps a little bit ironic. Mostly because I have very little motivation this week. I'm also lazy and bored. Perhaps one has something to do with the other. So this week I'm kinda cheating. - My mother was clearing out some old things recently. She came
Wednesday Motivational – Live For Today
Author's Note: The following is partially based upon an email my elderly mother received from one of her elderly friends. I have altered the language in places to make it more relatable, or at least try, to our little group of DFO idiots. I have also added some of my
Wednesday Motivational – Die On Your Feet, Not On Your Knees
Someone close to me died recently. Sadly, it was his choice. And as best I can tell he made that choice because he didn't like himself. Or thought other people didn't like him. Either way, that sucks. He couldn't help it. Intellectually I understand that. Emotionally, I'm still pretty broken up.
Wednesday Motivational – Please Do Whatever You Can
We're living in odd times right now. This virus isn't going to be the end of mankind. I promise. But it has changed just about everyone's way of life. At least for the time being. Restrictions on social interactions. Restrictions on travel. Nearly every sporting event cancelled or postponed. And school closings. When
Wednesday Motivational – Sometimes It Takes A While But Getting There Is Worth It
I read a very good book yesterday. Advanced copy. I love knowing people who can steal things for me. I'm only just joking about the stealing. She works in the publishing industry, it was legal.

Wednesday Motivational – Try To Be Optimistic
This is a weird one. Admittedly. Trying to remain optimistic can become difficult sometimes. Shit happens. I get it, trust me. I had a long conversation with a friend last night. It was a wonderful experience. And even though I will not name him, I hope he won't be angry at me
Your “Slow Monday Before Xmas And Also A Kind Of Wednesday Motivational On a Monday” Daytime Open Thread.
The video I'm going to link below is explicit in certain ways. It might be difficult for some to watch. Fair warning. But if it stops one person from doing what one of my family members did recently, then it's worth it. Once you take that path you cannot fix things. You
Wednesday Motivational – Give Thanks For What You Have
Try not to worry about what you don't have. - When I was a senior in Veterinary School, I was "on duty" during the Thanksgiving weekend. It was only by chance. I drew the short straw that weekend, so to speak. My family did not like the fact that I would be unable
Wednesday Motivational – You’re Not Alone
I was having a very difficult time coming up with something which might be motivational to even just one person this week. Still am actually. But yet, here we are. I don't honestly know if these silly little posts I've been putting up for a few months now have truly helped
Wednesday Motivational – Small Differences
To be great in this world? To rise up and make a difference? You don't have to start a revolution. You don't even have to convince others to follow you. That will come anyway when people recognize your efforts and that you have a modicum of generosity of spirit in your
Wednesday Motivational – Take A Chance On You
When I was a kid, my father told me "Do what you love and the money will follow". I've since heard it said many times and in many different variations. But there it is. You have to find your "gift". Your gift is that thing you do which you enjoy doing
