Generational Amnesia…
The simplest definition of generational amnesia is learning from the past so we don’t make the same mistakes over and over again. Continue reading Generational Amnesia…
I’m Going To Give You A Little Inside Info
I am quickly approaching my 5500th post here at RJsCorner. I never thought I had that much in me, but I still have the usual queue waiting to be written. Of course, being an IT guy, I have a database … Continue reading I’m Going To Give You A Little Inside Info
How Do You See The Future?
Let’s start off this new year at RJsCorner by looking at our view of the future. Sadly, there are those who seem to be frightened by almost everything these days. I kinda think that mentality make up a big majority … Continue reading How Do You See The Future?
Adjusting To Unexpected Changes…
Some people go through life with little or no changes. They live in the house they inherited from their parents. They have never been away from the area they grew up. Change just doesn’t happen to them, UNTIL IT DOES… … Continue reading Adjusting To Unexpected Changes…
Resetting my Life Goals
“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
Changing Minds
One of the hardest things to do in today’s world is to get people to change their minds about almost anything. Of course I am a contrarian when it come to this topic. I have changed my mind about a … Continue reading Changing Minds
Nerve Racking vs Exciting – A Matter of View
This post is mainly about how you view your world. I will use myself and my wife as examples of two different approaches. I embrace change whenever I find it. In fact, I get down right bored when change doesn’t … Continue reading Nerve Racking vs Exciting – A Matter of View
For The Times, They Are A Changin…
I can see in the not too distant future a revolution coming that will make what us Baby Boomers created seem minuscule in comparison. Yeah, we had our days but now we seem to be more a source of the problems than solutions. Just look at our “Senators and Congressmen” who are stifling any possible change to keep our planet healthy or to live up to our principles enshrined on the Statue of Liberty. I guess too many of us Baby Boomer have now become what we despised in our youth. We are the primary part of the “fearful” who … Continue reading For The Times, They Are A Changin…
In To The Looking Glass – 2021-2035
I did some looking-forward in the last Looking Glass post in order to guess what the coming six months will look like. But this is the first post to go full-forward in that regard. Being the amateur futurist that I … Continue reading In To The Looking Glass – 2021-2035
How The World Will Change…
Let’s face it, the world is on a tightrope right now. The current pandemic will likely cause changes even faster than before, and it will now happen on a very broad scale. That is what this post is all about.

Imagining The Next Decade
Thanks to Frank Diana over at Reimagining The Future I am putting on my dreamer’s hat for this post. I really think, or at least pray, that once that despicable person leaves the Oval Office, we will go on to make our future bright indeed. That is what this post is all about.

Gerontocracy and True Representation.
Let’s face it, our country is primarily ruled by old people like me. Is that what the framers wanted? That is what this post is about?

Who Needs Social Media?
Obviously the question in the title above is what this post is all about. Here is the definition of social media from Wikipedia. The biggies are obviouslly Facebook,Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, with many other a little further down the line.

One Small Thought…
Sometimes I get into dry spells here at RJsCorner where I just can’t think of something for my daily posts. When that occurs I usually pull up a quote that strikes me from my list at iHearts143Quotes.com. That is the … Continue reading One Small Thought…
More Myths Americans Need to Unlearn About America
Let’s face it, we can’t simply ignore the problems and hope they go away. That seems to have worked for a long time but in reality, it has just allowed the problems to fester and get worse. America is collapsing and if we don’t do something about it soon, it just may be too late. Just because we have gone-to-the-edge before and survived doesn’t mean it will happen again. Here is the myth for today that we need to unlearn: Myth: America isn’t collapsing!!! Life expectancy is falling, the vast majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, they can’t raise … Continue reading More Myths Americans Need to Unlearn About America
Time Just Flies By
I don’t know how many times I have heard the expression in the title of this post. I don’t know how many times I have said it myself. I have always wondered why time seems to fly by now but in my youth a year seemed like an eternity. It wasn’t until I got a glimpse of the short article below from the AARP Magazine that I came to maybe understand this time warp a little better. It’s interesting if I at least partially accept what the article says that the reason is stale experiences. That is, as we get … Continue reading Time Just Flies By
While I Cherish Change…
If you have been around RJsCorner I’m sure you know by now that I cherish change. Change allows us to do things better than before. It allows us a second or maybe third chance to get it right. But not all change is good, even for me. :) At least to some degree, I believe in the old adage “If it ain’t broken, why change it”. This post is targeted at bathroom products. I know that sounds strange but it is a story I must tell. I have come to cherish my morning shower, especially in my retirement years. It … Continue reading While I Cherish Change…
You Are Not A Tree…
Too many of us lament that we can’t get jobs where we were born and raised. That seems especially true of the poorest areas of the country including Appalachia. Jobs just aren’t very plentiful there. The deep South is another example. It would be nice is all areas of the country were full of gainful employment. But given our foundations in almost pure capitalism that will never happen. On a side note, it is kinda ironic that the States that rail the most against socialism vote primarily with the GOP and are the ones that have the most citizens who … Continue reading You Are Not A Tree…
My Life Sucks…
I think there is a pretty fair part of the folks in this country who think their life sucks. They haven’t had a raise in umpteen years. They have to have someone to blame and that person is often those they see as getting the “breaks” in life. It’s pretty hard for them to admit that for the most part “my life sucks because of me”. That reality just doesn’t sink for most of us. They say they are stuck in an area with no good paying jobs but they never consider moving to a more prosperous area. They say the only … Continue reading My Life Sucks…
