Tired

Everyone has one of those periods of time where they just get exhausted. This is one of those times for me, and especially for Dr. TFred. I typically spend my Tuesday and Wednesday nights playing games on Google+ hangouts with my very good friends, and those hangout sessions are a time for me to get […]

Jimmy

My wife, Dr. TFred, works at a hospital as a surgery resident. In this hospital, there is a surgery resident lounge where the residents can do their paperwork, watch TV, relax on a couch, and have pretty much all their needs taken care of. This is all because of Jimmy. Jimmy is the caretaker of […]

The Wrong Trousers!

In most jobs, there is some kind of dress code or even a strict uniform. Mine is no exception. The uniform is: white button-up shirt, tie, khaki pants, name tag, shoes of some kind. Last night, I was expecting to be working alongside a particular coworker. This coworker was the same one I described in […]

What makes us civilized?

One of the alleged perpetrators of the Boston bombings and shootings has been caught, and the other killed. This is old news to anyone by now. The question posed to the people in charge is, “what do we do with him now?” String him up I hope the doctor taking care of him just kills […]

Sensitive Saturday – Story off the top of my head

Okay, here’s something I’m going to do. Since it’s Sensitive Saturday, I’m going to write a very brief story. Without thinking of it ahead of time. That is to say, I’m going to start and finish in one step. No taking a day to think about it. No story outline. I think I know how […]

GUEST POST – I knew a man of few words

[This post is written by my wonderful younger sister, Sarah. She is out on an adventure in the world, and she wanted to tell a story from where she works; a nursing home in Australia.] I knew a man of few words. Literally, very few words. He was able to speak 13 words and these […]

I wrote a Fan Fic

Okay, you guys know by now that I have a show called Freddy’s Fan Fiction. One of the things that is done on the show is a guest-written fan fiction. Well, this time, I insisted that I write one instead of my guests. So they gave me some ridiculous prompts (though not any more ridiculous […]

A little levity

Yesterday’s post was a bit heavy, and I don’t want to overly weigh people down. So let’s talk about silly things. First, I want to direct you to Episode 18 of Talking Shit with Dave and Earl. I was on this episode, and I had a blast. It’s titled “It’s Raining Men.” It will make sense […]

The Helpers

I want to crawl into a hole. I want to plug my ears and make it go away. What makes a person do this to other people? Are there more people out there like that? I’m talking about the bombing of the Boston Marathon. Peoples’ lives erased or changed forever. What’s the use in feeling […]

Regret and Worry

There are times when I get frustrated with people. Some of those times are when they tell me some moment in their lives that they regret. Or sometimes it’s when they tell me about an upcoming whatzit that they really are super worried about. When I hear them talk like that, I feel they are […]
