Calling All Parents

She stands in front of them, a boy about 8 and a girl around 10. The boy and girl are sitting in chairs waiting while she rarely stays still. At a one and a half, she is a social butterfly full of hugs, waves and smiles. She stands there waving with an ear to ear grin, "Hi." Nothing. She pats the girls knee, still smiling. Nothing. The girl looks up for a moment and a glimmer of hope appears in the toddler's eyes, but the moment is over as the girl and boy continue to stare zombified... ...into cell phones. Whether you realize it or not, cell phones are going to continue to weaken society. All the toddler wanted was a friendly human interaction and it seems so much of society has forgotten what that is. Enjoying someones company is not getting together and staring at your phones. With that said, it is angering to see little babies and toddlers zombified with cell phones while mommy is at the grocery store or the mall. Phones should NEVER be used as a baby sitte...

SEX.... Do I have your attention now?

It's amazing just how much the world revolves around sex. Women post pictures of themselves wearing just a bra and underwear. The latest Netflix original television series almost always have both male and female nudity. The clothing is getting more see through and skimpier by the minute. In this world we all want attention.

More boob to show, more butt to show, less and less skin to cover. At this rate, we'll all be walking around naked in a few years. Let's hope not.

Off To a Better Place

They had lunch last week. Despite a minor feud that had been going on over the last few months they were talking on the phone every night and having lunch or dinner at least twice a week just as they always had. After all, they were not only brothers but the best of friends. Both of them thought they were hilarious when most of the time they were really just hilarious to each other. Bill understood Scott and Scott understood Bill, two peas in a pod. Though best friends they had their differences. Bill knew nothing of technology while Scott was always curious about the new bluetooth speaker or cell phone gadgets. Bill wore Crocs or Uggs and owned a mobile home park in the mountains, Scott dressed a bit more classy and owned a precision and alignment shop in Redlands.  They would stay up late talking and joking around on the phone. No one could make them laugh the way they made each other laugh. They talked to each other in a way they could never talk to any one; they could b...
