I’m just not a “manly” man. I’m not afraid to say that. It doesn’t hurt my ego at all. In fact, I am quite proud that I have many feminine characteristics. One of those is that I love the “Anne … Continue reading Finding Your Kindred Spirit
Some people think the two words in the title above are the same thing. My wife was one of them, and of course, I was the opposite. It wasn’t until the end of her life that I found just how … Continue reading Challenging vs Threatening?
I know the title above probably confuses you, but if you think about it, (and are smart 😎), you will realize that the phrase is true. Let’s look at Jeff Bezos to see how that works. Bezos is worth over … Continue reading Smart People Are Actually Wrong – A Lot
I know the term “Coexist” is primarily associated with religions. I have had a sticker on the back of my vehicles for longer than I can remember to that effect. The world would be a much better place if all … Continue reading Peaceful Coexistence – In Marriage
Autism is a neurological condition. That means those who are autistic are wired differently than those who are neurotypical (meaning like everyone else). We are not necessarily dumber, more handicapped, or smarter, just different. So, you could say that Autism … Continue reading Autism As A Parallel Universe?
The best description of my country right now is a thousand pieces of shattered glass. Like Humpty Dumpty it’s hard to imagine putting it back together. I am a history buff, so I know this is not the first time … Continue reading Making Something Beautiful…
The realization came to me the other days that for the first time in my life I now have total control of what I do and how I choose to live my life. That is a very exciting thing, but … Continue reading For The First Time…
Let’s all vow to make 2022 the best year of our lives. Continue reading Happy New Years From RJsCorner
Happy New Year’s Eve to all you who may come across RJsCorner. I know the common logic is that everyone makes New Year’s resolutions and then breaks them before the end of the week. So, why bother? Well, I have … Continue reading Here’s To New Year’s Resolutions…
Let’s finish off this year with some thoughts that are way above our pay grade. The aging process should be reversed. We ought to start out wise and as we age we get dumber. That sure would save a lot … Continue reading Should Have Been All Along…
For the last twenty years I have re-read the book shown on the right. Due to all the stuff that has happened in my life this year, I almost forgot about this annual tradition. I would have to say that … Continue reading Having My Say About “Having Our Say”
You probably think that the Internet has become a boring, repetitive, bleak landscape that is poisoning your mind. The only thing it is good for now is for conspiracy theorists to have a place where they can plant their seeds … Continue reading Making The Internet Great Again…
For those of us who live on the margins of life, getting shoved to the background is almost a daily thing. I really don’t have any recollection of ever belonging to the mainstream in any area of my life. But, … Continue reading Getting Shoved In To The Background…
Today, I celebrate the birth of Jesus, who came to earth to teach us how to live and love. I pray that in the coming years, that more of us will finally be able to embrace HIS teachings. Instead of … Continue reading Merry Christmas From RJsCorner
I talk frequently here at the new RJsCorner about my deafness and autism. Many of the posts are about how I deal with all the obstacles that are a result of those two conditions. For this post I am talking … Continue reading In The Zone – My Superpower
I am going to unofficially assign some of Sunday’s posts as a time for reflection. It will be about looking back to discover the lessons learn and unlearned. It will be about insight/wisdom learned that might be valuable to others. … Continue reading Looking Back On Life – The Regrets
The New RJsCorner is taking a pretty serious shift from past content. Politics, and the ugliness that it entails, is no longer part of this site. The primary focus is now learning about the diversity of man, and accepting and … Continue reading Welcome To The New RJsCorner…
“My wife’s death five months ago yesterday caused me to do some pretty serious soul-searching. It made me realize that I was just going-with-the-flow in too many areas of my life. I was aimlessly moving from one day to another … Continue reading Resetting my Life Goals
RJsCorner is in its 14th year now, so I have covered countless categories in the 5,000 posts you will find here. As the years have gone by my primary focus here has changed several times. The latest change will be … Continue reading RJsCorner – It’s Time For A Change
I will admit up front that I am just not much of a Mark Twain enthusiast. His folksy way of writing just never appealed to me. And then there were his senior years when he became an extremely bitter old … Continue reading The Difference Between…
Here I am almost 8 months since my wife’s heart attack that ended her life, and I am still dealing with these end-of-life issues. One of the many things you have to do when you lose a spouse is to … Continue reading Quality Of Life…Just Pull The Plug
50 years from now I will certainly be worm food, but maybe not. If I am cremated I don’t think they would much like the ashes. 🤪 Ok, enough silliness, let’s get to the point. 50 years from now people … Continue reading 50 Years From Now…
If I am to believe much of what I have read, education has not seriously begun to track the needs of the future world. The key problem in the U.S. is how education is funded, and content is determined at … Continue reading Education IS The Key…
I know this is a terrible time to take on, as I am doing, a project related to happiness. It looks like we might be mired down into another mutation of this stupid COVID virus. When will it end? That … Continue reading We Gotta Find Something to be Happy About.
RJsCorner is not known to shy away from controversial subjects, so with the post, I am “having my say” about the Critical Race Theory (CRT). Maybe we should call Critical Race Theory a cultural overhaul, since CRT seems to be … Continue reading A Cultural Overhaul
Let’s spend this lazy Sunday after Thanksgiving talking about technological progress and how it is changing our world. Fifty years from now everthing we think of as the miracles of technology will be long forgotten and replace by much better … Continue reading Solutions Seeking Problems…
I will be spending this day with some of the family clan. It’s been too many years since I have done that. I have a lot to be thankful for. Not the least of which is you guys who come … Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving
I know this is nothing earth-shaking to you, but I take the agenda here at RJsCorner quite seriously. It is the roadmap for the many words I put here. I’m sure, to you, it has about as much significance as … Continue reading The Agenda, It Is A-Changing … Again
I am approaching 5,000 posts here on RJsCorner, how can that be! If I divide that many posts among this blog’s thirteen years of existence, that adds up to a little over 1 post/day. That’s a lot of blogging (over … Continue reading The Evolution of RJsCorner
I have not failed, I have just found 10,000 ways that didn’t work. Thomas Edison I have been to most of Thomas Edison’s historic sites and have marveled at his ingenuity and perseverance. They say it took him 10,000 tries … Continue reading I Have Not Failed…
Like a good aged wine, I am an acquired taste. The first view of RJsCorner might taste a little strong or bitter, but if you stick around, you just might learn to enjoy what you see here. I know I … Continue reading I Am An Acquired Taste
After some serious study about autism in general and Asperger’s in particular, I am convinced that the scientific community has a basic flaw when it comes to autism. That flaw is that 95% of the studies and articles about autism … Continue reading I Think The Scientific Community Has It Wrong About Autism Studies
You came on the world scene at the age of 11 when you started school strikes to do what you could to make people pay attention to climate change. You stopped eating and talking and fell into depression that scared … Continue reading Here’s To You Greta…
I had my annual physical a few weeks ago and my doctor proclaimed that I was in good shape, at least for someone my age. After I left, she texted me that she forgot to mention that she scheduled me … Continue reading Why More Tests??
People mention regularly here at RJsCorner how they are awed by me baring my soul so much here. Not very many people care to do that any more than they care to wash their dirty laundry in public. Why do … Continue reading Baring My Soul…
I thought for today’s post I would dip my toes into a little politics. They say that forming a third party in America is downright impossible, or is it? That is what this post is all about. Let’s take a … Continue reading About Third Parties…
