Ten Word Idea

Image
While sitting here at the computer trying to figure out what to do, I think I've come up with an idea to get myself posting something more often.  Ten words. The idea is for me to post ten words a day, hopefully. It might also give me something else to think about or focus on during the day rather then the same old same old. If your wondering what the ten words will be, it could be different each time.  What I mean is sometimes it could be ten random words that I write down during the day. Sometimes it could a sentence. Maybe even a short story. Or even a random quote from a book. Or a newspaper. There could be a possibility after the ten words I could write more about it. I want to try also to find a picture to go with the ten words. So here are my first ten words for the day. 

Could a sex strike stop men from fighting?

Last night I was watching  the pix news and they had a story on there that caught my eye. I'm not sure exactly where it is. I was trying to find the story on line but I'm not sure I found the exact one.  I did find a few similar stories about the same thing. The story was about some village women who wanted to trade their goods with a near by village. But with the road between the villages being very dangerous because the men folk were always battling with the men folk the other village it was next to impossible to trade goods.  So the women came up with a plan to withhold sex until the men stop fighting. It worked. The men stopped fighting and the road became safe again and the economies of both villages improved. I think this a great idea. Most wars are fought because of men being overly macho.  I asked a few people at work if they have ever withheld sex till they got their way. The answers were about as expected from some. Some said no they never had. Some said you bet I h

Pondering............

I've been trying to think of something to ponder lately and for some reason nothing new is really coming to me. I could ponder some of the same old same old but, I'm getting tired of doing what so many others are doing.  I just want to see how many people out there are interested in anything I write. So I'm going to think about a few different topics and see if anyone wants to read about my pondering. Here is a list of things I could ponder: The latest news of whatever. Earthy news(Mother Nature doing what Mother Nature does). Silly stories. My chicken with bad timing at hatching out three baby chicks last week.( Fall is creeping up on us here. Highs in sixties) My basket full of letters written to my Grandfather starting in about 1919 to the early 1930's. Old pictures from about the same time which I'm not sure who any of these people are.  Random pictures of the world around me. Maybe I could write about books I've read. Or story ideas that keep

The post I posted yesterday was not finished. Sorry. Internet connection problems. I would continue with it but that train of thought is gone. Sorry. But in a few days I hope to have a new thought to ponder. Till next time keep on pondering.

Pondering Labor Day

Image
This about sums things up.  I have been pondering how we got where we are when it comes to the lack of jobs. I do have a few points of view of how it happened. Want to read them? Well here they are: One, is to much technology.  When you look at factories that use to have allot of workers but now don't, it's because they have robots or more automation doing most of the work.They only look at the less workers they have the more profit they will get. But the price of their product does not go down it keeps going up. The result of this kind of thing is finally starting to kick not only the average worker in the butt, but is kicking the whole world economy in the butt. Less people actually doing the jobs mean more people not be able to buy things. Two, I guess should go along with number one in away. Expecting fewer people to do the jobs. Over working the ones that are there to the point that the quality of the product will suffer. No matter what some tell you about quality they a
