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

I bet you thought I'd forgotten about this little series. Well, "series" might be pushing it considering that this is only the third installment and it's been nearly a year since the first and second installments. And considering it's been that long you, dear reader, have probably forgotten anyway. But it's

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

Yeah, it's been a while. But you remember. This is one of those weeks where I can't think of anything else so I choose one (or more) musical artists to feature. Generally, their musical accolades are debatable...at best. But not their sexy. That is unimpeachable. Kinda like someone else I know. Anywhooooo... This

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

Fantasy Football Sucks – The Lunatic Ravings

theeWeeBabySeamus - November 12, 2019November 12, 2019

Cut your hair Russell, you damned hippie. NO YOU SHUT UP!!!!!! (ahem) Since no one else seems to want to bitch and whine about the totally unfair breaks in fantasy football this year, I guess I'll have to give it a go. I was coasting all weekend. I had a comfortable, though not

Leaves have been falling here for a coupla months now. I've kept up with them, at least to a degree, up until now. But frankly it's still been rather warm and I've come to dislike yardwork when I have to sweat to do it. This week it has turned considerably

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

Last night as I was driving home, I noticed multiple hordes of hooligans roaming the street and looking for trouble it seemed. They were in disguise so as not to be identified. It was a scene right out of "A Clockwork Orange ". I watched as they systematically went door to

"The Grass is Always Greener" You've all heard that saying I'm sure. But it's not true. You see others and their seemingly great lives and wish you could trade places. But you rarely see below the surface. The things they don't want you to see or to know about. This is true

Here at [DFO] we like to pride ourselves on our "No Pants Rule". We exercise it whenever we can. While it is a running joke on the blog, I suspect it's also not far from the truth for some of you. At least when you're not at work. Or maybe sometimes even

Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do something. They don't know you as well as you know you. If you believe you can do it, then go do it. Let me tell you all a quick story... When I first started High School my freshman year, we had to meet
