    Lincoln Would’ve Loved Faurel Hill… The other day I was reading a blog post at Bluejayblog. This quote hit me right between the eyes. “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power.”      -Abraham Lincoln Lincoln had it figured out. Adversity brings out grit, but power?…

    Why do I blog? Good question. Some mornings I wonder that myself. I mean, it’s not like the internet is short on words, is it? Whole forests have been sacrificed to the ramblings of people who think the world is waiting breathlessly for their next pearl of wisdom. And yet… here I am, still typing.…

    I’m sitting here tired after a long day in the charity shop, and one thing I can’t ignore anymore is how many people are turning to second-hand. Not because it’s quirky or trendy, but because they have no choice. Families, pensioners, and students are all looking for ways to make ends meet. Why pay silly…

    Episode 100: The NPC Strikes Back 🎬 Previously, on Life in Bully Land… A funny thing is that I was waiting to post an epic one for the 100th Bully post, and he complied! Rust. Turf. Drama. A turf shed doubling as Jurassic Park. A villain who doesn’t twirl a mustache but does hoard prehistoric…

    What the hell is this thing in the sky?! Honestly, for a moment, I thought I was looking at the beginning of a nuclear blast. Then I decided it had to be aliens making a flamboyant entrance. But the “official” word is… It’s just an anvil cloud. Now, maybe I’m supposed to nod politely and…

    Sorry guys, I am on a rant this morning! Definitely got out of bed on the wrong side! 😂 The city of the future? Ha! I wouldn’t design one at all. Why are people living in cities anyway? It’s not natural, it’s by design. A control system, plain and simple. And don’t get me started…

    Granny Frass on the Name Mae… Well now, Mae… isn’t it gas how you think your name is just a neat little variation, like a shorter skirt on the same old dress? Don’t fool yourself. That name is stitched together with more thread than you know. Molly was mine, Mary after me, and Mae is…

    Well, I guess I’ve always written in one way or another, though not the way I do now. Back in the day, it was things like employee manuals, business correspondence, and all that serious, structured stuff. Before that, as a teenager, I kept a diary… until my Mam read it. That was the end of…

    Where Do My Quare Ideas Come From? Someone asked me the other day where I get my quare ideas for my posts. Now, I wish I could tell you there was some grand, mystical process. I sit in a candlelit room, summoning the muses while wearing a flowing robe, and they whisper inspiration into my…

    “Granny Frass Says: Step Away from the Clouds”… Well now, Mae girl… I’ve been keeping an eye on you this week, and I swear, your head has been spinning like the clothesline in a gale. You’ve been hopping from one thought to another so fast, I’m dizzy just watching. First, the weather. Lord save us,…
