Mr Grumpy

Mr Grumpy
Unreasonable joy and happiness came to me on an ordinary day, an unremarkable day, when I was playing poker. The clatter of chips and the shuffling of cards played background music to the conversation of the players. Now and then, the dealer would call “Seat open!” and a floorman would escort another player to a table. The nine players at my table were all sizes, shapes, and colors. Some were Asian, some Persian, some black, some white-bread American like me. We were all enjoying the game, taking turns winning a pot, whining a little when we got beat. A wizened old man who spoke with some sort of European accent was losing a bit more than the rest of us. I named him “Mr. Grumpy” in my mind as he threw his cards on the table with a curse again. “Just take your losses with good grace or go home,” I thought primly to myself......Read On

Even Addictive Games Promote Family Values

Even Addictive Games Promote Family Values
There’s been much debate about the effect that video games and online games have in the development of our children and even in the socialization of adults. Reams have been written about the ways in which video games isolate youngsters and encourage a sedentary lifestyle. Some argue that, when adults play video games and online games to the exclusion of other activities, they effectively distance themselves from others and put up emotional barriers. While moderation and self-control may be important considerations when playing video games and online games, I believe a case can be made that some addictive games promote family values. Some people grow up in "game" families, and others do not. I’m from a family of avid gamers - and this was long before the advent of video games and.....Read On

Bruce Lee, the Greatest Martial Arts Action Hero

Bruce Lee, the Greatest Martial Arts Action Hero
Before Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme, there was Bruce Lee. In a way, it is a real shame that many of today’s generation of action film fans have never been exposed to Bruce Lee because he was perhaps the greatest martial arts action hero of all time. His martial arts on film may not have been as fancy as say Jackie Chan’s or Jet Li’s but his on screen ferocity and charisma are unequalled. Even more important was the impact on martial arts that Bruce Lee had which still endures today even over 30 years since his passing.....Read On

Learn Why Your Pet Wags It’s Tail

Learn Why Your Pet Wags It’s Tail
A common misconception people have about dogs is the tale that dogs wag their tails only when they are happy. Though dogs often do wag their tails when they are happy, they also use a tail wag as an expression of excitement or irritation as well. A dog’s tail can be lightly compared to a human smile; it is a primary form of communication. Dogs will wag their tails to show happiness at seeing their owner walk in the front door, to show gratitude for being fed, and to show excitement when they realize they are going to be taken on a walk. Think about when a person is alone: they rarely smile when they are alone. It is the same way with dogs. They only wag their tail if another human being or dog (or animal for that matter) is present......Read On

Watching reruns of classic TV shows will never fall out of fashion either. Not with those of us who grew up watching and learning from these classic TV shows. And not with the new generation of classic TV fans that the re-airing of these classics in television are creating now.

Some of our primetime classic TV selections included Bewitched, Happy Days, The Brady Bunch, Green Acres, and The Beverly Hillbillies, Petticoat Junction, and The Partridge family. Some of these classic TV shows.....Read On

Do You Know How Wall Street Began?

Do You Know How Wall Street Began?
The stock market is actually an avenue from which the stock of companies is purchased and sold. Some people still believe that the stock market and Wall Street are one and the same. However, Wall Street in New York is just a single example of a stock market. When you review the history of the stock market, Wall Street is quite significant. The concept of the stock market was actually born and developed on Wall Street. In 1653, an establishment was formally built where Wall Street currently exists. The purpose of this establishment was for defense rather than commerce. Dutch settlers built a 12 foot stockade fence to keep out the British and Native Americans. By 1685, this defensive establishment was torn down and replaced. The new street was named Wall Street by the British.....Read On
