I think most of my readers recognize the title above. “Form” is the artistic/creative side of the tools and toys around us, whereas “Function” is about how well it does the intended job. It is the analytical side. I must … Continue reading Form vs Function
I know many people are threatened by the term “White Privilege”. To some, it means that all those minorities are going to take over. That frightens them, the same way the Apartheid did to whites in South Africa. Being afraid … Continue reading White Privilege Does Not Mean…
Today’s post is about doctors and my interactions with them during the first two weeks of my wife’s two and a half months’ ordeal with end-of-life issues. I will start off by telling you that it was an extremely confusing … Continue reading End Of Life Trauma – Part 3 Doctors, Doctors, Everywhere
My Aspie traits like things orderly. I NEED to have all my ducks lined up before I can proceed with many things. The trouble is that my brain, especially now, just doesn’t want to accommodate that idea. Maybe it is … Continue reading I Like Things Orderly, But…
If you believe all these conspiracy theories that people dream up, you are probably convinced that COVID-19 was a China plan to wreck America. Or maybe it was a Russian plan? I don’t keep track of all these things. And … Continue reading IT’S YOUR FAULT!!
I think the words above from Marian Lee, who self-identifies as a Progressive Christian, deserve to stand on their own, so I won’t add too much here. I can still remember the whinging that seemed to be a constant thing … Continue reading Being Held Accountable
It’s time to brush off my picture directory and post something here at RJsCorner. I plan, going forward, to make Saturdays dedicated to that purpose. I don’t know if advertisements on the side of buildings qualify as wall art, but … Continue reading Wall Art
I don’t know if the people who invented it knows how valuable text messaging is for the deaf. It is a Godsend. It eliminates the need for that 100-year-old technology that the TDD provided. The problem is that very few … Continue reading There Is A Tool, But…
Sadly, there are many Vietnam vets who are stuck inside their war experiences throughout their life. I’m not one of those, as I flunked my draft physical due to hearing loss and therefore avoided that tragic consequence. Where I am … Continue reading I’m Stuck In the 1960’s and 70’s
This is part 2 of my wife’s two-and-a-half month ordeal with end-of-life trauma. My wife’s two-week hospital stay was in May, so the pandemic was beginning to ease up. Most businesses in my area had dropped the mask requirement for … Continue reading End Of Life Trauma – Part 2 Pandemic Rules…
Let’s face it, nothing much comes from the mainstream except task forces, meeting, and other such mundane things. Innovation almost always happens on the margins. Innovation by its very definition is not mainstream. The only way paradigm type change comes … Continue reading Innovation Is A Margin Thing…
Perhaps the thing that has turned me off the most to today’s version of organized religion is that each version is absolutely convinced that their truths are the only real ones. No matter how small or large the group is, … Continue reading Pretending To Have All The Answers
I know some people take pride in blindly walking the path of life. But that is simply not me!! 🙄 If I don’t plan, I don’t exist… Continue reading Blindly Prodding Ahead
The new RJsCorner is going to include stories about my current life and times. I now reside in a retirement community and just didn’t know what to expect before I came. I have been here about three weeks now, but … Continue reading * RetComLife #1 – Introducing RetComLife
The word “family” means different things to different people. When I grew up in the 1950s and 60s, I never really had much of a sense of family being something particularly important. I would find out later that was primarily … Continue reading Family
This is the first of I don’t know how many posts, documenting my two and a half months of being consumed by healthcare issues relating to the last days of my wife’s life. Why am I doing this? I am … Continue reading End Of Life Trauma – Part 1 The ER
America has for most of my lifetime been a country who welcomes others. That was severely changed for the four years that despicable person occupied the Oval Office. It is just strange to me that so many who call themselves … Continue reading Welcoming Others…
I have been away from RJsCorner for more than two months now dealing with health issues of my beloved wife. I will start off with the end and then take you through the process to how we got here. My … Continue reading End Of Life Trauma – Starting At The End
I hope some of my regular readers are still around after this almost three month absence. Plainly speaking, my world has been turned upside down during this period.. I have lots of experiences and feelings to tell you about, and … Continue reading My World Turned Upside Down
The above headline came from CNN on my daily news feed this morning. It sounds pretty dreadful that 153 hospital workers have refused to be vaccinated. These are the types of titles that get all the attention. The greater shock … Continue reading Refusing The Vaccine…
Part of my Aspie traits is that I take things much more personally than most. I have a lot of empathy, but it seems it takes a form that is different from most folks. I see someone’s personal hardships and … Continue reading Premonitions
