Guy's blog about life with pets in northern mich.

Does it seem to everyone else that nearly all the wives of the polygamous Mormon splinter group are homely and shooting for ugly? Are all those floor length, plain, shapeless dresses and that weird pompadour hairstyle that they all appear to wear, attempting to draw the eye away from their clunky ugly shoes and clunky ugly faces? If a woman is unfortunately born very unattractive, she does not have to settle for marrying a polygamous pedophile, just to be able to have sex. That is what they make... Sign in to see full entry.

Today began pretty much like most other days in my boring, uneventful life. HA! (My life is seldom EITHER!) Anyway, today I got the word that a good friend of mine will soon be released from a lengthy recuperation in the hospital. Going back to the start of this story, one day I was sitting at a table and eating with my friend Craig at a KFC fast food establishment. I do not usually believe in coincidences, but as we were about to begin eating, I looked up and saw THE girl from the KFC... Sign in to see full entry.

What a strange world we inhabit and how strange we humans have become. Each day there are revelations about new diseases or old ones that are becoming practically epidemic because of exposure to environmental factors that are new to recent generations. Chemicals that cause pre-cancerous lesions in and on mice are in baby bottles and are now present in the bodies of something like 90% of infants. The same chemicals are in the containers that the modern world drinks bottled water from. Asthma,... Sign in to see full entry.

These are some of my most enjoyable and memorable experiences that I have from that most important, “coming of age” time, my early deer hunting camp memories. My father’s parents, (my favorite grandparents) owned a cottage near Roscommon, Michigan. Each November, it was the center of the entire world. Long before I could join the family gathering of adult hunters, I cursed my bad luck for having been born too late to be able to go hunting with all the old people, because I could only listen to...

Recently, the receptionist Ron, told me that I would have to choose the kind of drug test I would prefer to take, and showed me a brochure with four or five different types of tests. I asked the kitchen staff what tests they had chosen. They said that they were not required to be tested. I asked my boss why drivers were being singled out for testing. She asked me why I was worried about passing a drug test. I explained that since I handle Marilyn’s meds each day, including morphine, Ritalin, and... Sign in to see full entry.

Here it is, tax day again. I will have to send checks to both the state and federal governments, even though I only work three hours, each weekday. I claim zero exemptions on my withholding tax form, ensuring even smaller weekly paychecks in an attempt to avoid having to come up with money that I never have, at tax time. My property taxes still have not been paid and interest is being added monthly, to what I owe the state, for the privilege to be the owner of a house that I cannot afford to...

By now, everyone has seen the Cyalis commercial, where an older couple is just about to head for the bedroom to get frisky, when the mood is interrupted by an unexpected visit by someone that, until that moment, the couple used to like. The ad says that fortunately for this couple, Cyalis works for “up to 36 hours.” Eventually, the intruders are made to feel unwelcome or uncomfortable enough to go away, and the couple can then return to their plan to wrinkle the sheets, because very few visits...

Once again, I have taken a shorter composition and elaborated on my thoughts about the subject, because it lacked something the first time I tackled the subject. I hope this is an improvement. Here’s something for us all to think about. Imagine if you can, the huge odds against you being the person you are. Over the reproductive years of humans, the trillions of sperm cells, hundreds of eggs, vagaries of timing, attraction, health and prenatal care, contraception, accidents, wars, work...

When I was visiting my youngest brother Santokh, out in New Mexico, we took a road trip to a huge Albuquerque flea market. He had told several of his coworkers that he had found a source of a type of knife that his friends had been looking for. Mexican men and Sikhs have an affinity for knives, I’m not sure why. He promised them that the next time he went past his secret source, he would pick up some knives for them. He got $20.00 each, for a $15.00 investment. He had orders for five of them. As...

I received an email asking me about the World wide Gathering of Disciples of Guy. Being as we denizens of Blogitville have been joined by many new writers and readers, please forgive these two repostings. I posted them in reverse order, so they are now in the correct sequence. Guy One day last week, was the annual World-wide Gathering of Guy’s Disciples, a chance for all my admirers to assemble in one place, at one time, and rent space in my campground. Right now, I only have “primitive... Sign in to see full entry.
