DW Davis Your post brought to mind many of the great skwirl songs of the past. Who could forget "My Skwirl Bill," or "The Most Beautiful Skwirl in the World," just to name a couple of my favorites? And no list of skwirl songs would be complete with "Brown Eyed Skwirl"...

Going from a summer of relaxed days when I was able to move at my own pace without deadlines and schedules to working 10 hour days of teaching, planning, meetings, grading, and such seems to be a harder adjustment every year. I...

Everyone seems to have their own ideas regarding God. And we all have ideas concerning God...your idea may be that He does not exist. While your idea might be that He always has been and always will...

DW Davis He was 42. I cannot be more specific than that. I do not know 42 what. Just that he was 42. As to the reality of God, yesterday in class with my students we discussed infinite number density (yes, I discuss this with my fourth grade class) and the fact that...

I figured since I have accomplished most of what I set out to do today, I would stop in and post and check notifications. I have a load of laundry in the dryer and one in the washer and then all the laundry will be caught up...

DW Davis Burgers and fries would be perfect for me. It's one of the four major food groups along with pizza, tacos, and fried chicken.

Do you remember the lady who made $486 a day on the internet? Ad various versions of Oprah crying? Those are ads most of us found obnoxious two or three years ago on MyLot, and they're hard to forget, even if we never clicked on...

DW Davis I haven't seen those ads. Most of the ads I get relate to things I've researched for my books, from prom dresses to real estate to travel to, well, you name it. I think it keeps the bots confused.

Some people may be staying permanently in the home they are in now, but others are looking to move at some point in time. There are only two things I think I really must have in a new home. A fireplace, I don't have one here, and...

DW Davis The house we are in will probably be our last fixed dwelling as we plan to keep it and use it as our home base when we retire and become semi-nomadic retirees living in our camper. If we were to buy a new house, it would have to be a single-story house. I...

I don't know about anyone else who has fibromyalgia. I know I can't be touched when I am inflamed. When I was in the Dmv I struggled to get out of the chair. A woman offered to help me get up. I was very happy...

DW Davis Being a fibromite myself, I sympathize with your plight. Like you, when I am in flair, I prefer not to be touched. When my students want to hug me, I grit my teeth, smile, and bear the pain because it doesn't hurt as much as the disappointment on their faces...

I'm not sure if this is a global expression or mostly American, but my husband and I have gone cold turkey, starting today. If you're not familiar with the expression, it means to give up something addicting right then, all at...

DW Davis On an April day in 1987, I gave up smoking Cold turkey. I've only lit one cigarette since then and didn't smoke it. A month after I quit smoking I met the lady who is now my wife. She would not have agreed to go out with me if I had been a smoker when we met....

DW Davis I might go a slight bit less than quoted, maybe 10%, but no more than that unless the amount of work required is much, much less than anticipated. The customer will feel like they got a good deal, and you won't have set a disadvantageous precedent for...
