EMPATHY SUPERPOWER: THE NURSING TOOL KIT

September 18, 2021 by David Gillaspie

I know empathy superpower when I see it. Why? Because I’ve felt it. I had a headache when my brother got hit with a bat. If I could have, I would have donated my knees to Joe Namath for playing football in white shoes and long hair. I feel things with people and let it […]

EDUCATE, VALIDATE, FOLLOW THAT KNOWLEDGE

September 16, 2021 by David Gillaspie

The work to educate people is an uphill climb. Nothing shows it better than the last year and a half. The corona virus has revealed an unexpected side of America. It’s the side where marginal public figures claim air time by saying whatever it takes to garner attention. But we’re way past that now? Not […]

DIFFERENT COUNTRY? DIFFERENT THAN WHAT?

September 8, 2021 by David Gillaspie

Every time I read, “We’re a different country now,” I start picking things apart. We’re different because some man or woman got their feelings hurt? Different because someone didn’t get their way and had a meltdown? It sounds different, but what’s really going on? I call it EMPOWERMENT, where normally quiet people discover the sound […]

GRADING COVID REACTIONS LIKE GOING TO SCHOOL

September 6, 2021 by David Gillaspie

Grading covid like it was a class is an easy way to understand how people react. But first let’s be clear about one thing: death is not a failing grade. However, anti-mask, anti-vaxx death is another matter. Dying from ignorance, arrogance, and intolerance is a failing grade. I saw a clip of people protesting for […]

THOUGHT CONTROL? FIRST FIND A BRAIN

September 1, 2021 by David Gillaspie

Thought control is an accusation slung by those who need you to agree with them. Based on their outlook and attitude, if you don’t agree it’s because you’ve been brainwashed. Like that’s a bad thing all the time. If you join the Army you get a good wash, learn to help others, at the same […]

PROPER ETIQUETTE FOR NORMAL LIFE

August 29, 2021 by David Gillaspie

Proper etiquette is a good habit, not a sign of weakness. We say please and thank you and you’re welcome. Gym etiquette? Same. But not everyone gets it. The job for us as citizens has a short list of requirements, starting with working it out instead of fighting it out. Jacked up gym rats are […]

MESSAGE SENT, FOLLOWED BY REGRET AND HOPE

August 28, 2021 by David Gillaspie

The message sent about Portland Oregon is one of hope. When the homeless set up camp, Portland hoped they were comfortable. Protest marchers clashed with Portland police hoping for change. Rival groups faced off. The message sent to them, to us, was there would be no police involvement. I suppose the hope was they would […]

ANGRY MEN: WHAT HAPPENED TO MAKE THEM SO ANGRY

August 26, 2021 by David Gillaspie

Angry men all come from the same source of disillusionment: “This isn’t what I expected and I’m pissed, y’all.” No one respects you? Grrrr. You don’t have a celebrity lifestyle? Feeling hot. Someone told you you’re getting replaced? Grab a torch. But where does this all start? Look at self-esteem.

DECISION MAKERS: MEN WHO NEED SOMEONE TO BLAME

August 20, 2021 by David Gillaspie

Decision makers are the last word, the final word. If you don’t believe it, just ask one. There’s no lack of men ready to jump and claim the title of Top Dog. “This is my final decision,” they say. But it rarely is final. Go to court and lose? File an appeal. Go to a […]

COVID SURRENDER WORKS BEST FOR QUITTERS

August 15, 2021 by David Gillaspie

Doing the covid surrender is easy: No vaccine, no mask? No problem. But why not try a little harder? Why not show some willingness to work together? After all, remember when you asked a friend help and they showed up long enough to quit when it got hard? Are you still friends? Do you still […]
