Does Willy Want a Nonprofit Job?

Willy had to think about this one a little. Willy first thought that this was a site for people who wanted to take a job that made them no profit. Willy loves to work but one of the things that Willy likes is the money that he gets paid from the job. Therefore Willy had to figure out that Nonprofit Jobs had to do with work that was involved with working with companies who were considered to be nonprofit companies. They were still going to pay Willy to work for them.

What Willy found was that Non profit jobs seeker is the go to employment center for people who are nonprofit careers seekers looking for employment. NonprofitJobseeker.com is run by The NonProfit Times the leading business publication for nonprofit management which was established over 20 years ago.

So now Willy knows that if Willy is interested in Nonprofit Careers or if there is any of Willy's friends that are interested in finding careers nonprofit does not mean non salary for Willy.

Retired Folks Fun!


A retired couple relayed this story to Willy recently.  Willy has wondered just what Willy would do when he retires for fun and Willy sees this story as a possibility.  Check it out.  
-----------------
Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.  Well, for example, the other day, Mary my wife and I went into town and visited a shop.

When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.  We went up to him and I said, 'Come on, man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?'

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him an rear-hole.  He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.

So Mary called him a pecker head.  He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.

 Then he started writing more tickets. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home. 

We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired.  It's important at our age.

Curing Boredom

Thanks for the article from Laura Ryan

Before I got Directv from www.DirectStarTV.com I was always bored when I was at home. I live alone, and even though I could be doing much more productive things, I have always found comfort in curling up on the couch and watching a good movie or show. Some nights I feel like watching something that I have already seen a hundred times. Two of my favorite movies to watch are Dirty Dancing and Forrest Gump. If I am home, and either of those movies is on, it is guaranteed that I will be watching. I also love to watch bad reality TV. I am currently sitting in the edge of my seat waiting to see who wins this season of Top Chef on Bravo. I also love Full Throttle Saloon on Tru TV. It is about a saloon in Sturgis, South Dakota that is the biggest Biker Bar in the country. I feel like it’s my little window into a life I would never live. The bottom line is that when my friends are too busy to hang out, and I am at home alone, I can always depend on my TV for good company.

Willy's Early Life Continued

Willy left off being born and life beginning in the Panhandle of Texas. Willy was the last of eight children to be born of a couple that moved to the Panhandle of Texas in the early 30's from Central Missouri. Willy believes that he and one other brother was the only ones to be born in a hospital.

Willy's parents had four girls about as close together as children could be born and then waited about two years and started again with four boys. Willy's Daddy


always said that it took him two years to shift gears. So be it. Willy's oldest sister was married and moved out of the house when Willy was less than 2 years old.

Life was simple back then. As stated we lived many miles in the country and other than going to school we went to town once a week on Saturday. Life was simple and Willy never even knew that there was such a thing as a restaurant until he was about 15 years old. We thought we were poor in money but we always had food from the animals slaughtered and always had clothes on our back.

Guess what Willy wore for shirts. Guess who made Willy's shirts. Life was simple.

Next time we might talk about the hog killing, the braceros and the hard work that went on in Willy's neighborhood.

Bring in the new year with style

Willy learned early in life that a quality watch . . . . . is one of the finest, most precise, most carefully made mechanisms in the world. Willy learned that because Willy's parents used a great watch as a gift for 8th grade graduation for Willy and all of his brothers and sisters.  That would be eight watches that Willy's parents gave over years.   So Willy's, thinking like his  parents would look for a great authorized reseller of some of the best brands are ridiculously low prices, with FREE 2-day shipping so that Willy can give gifts of great watches.

In Willy's mind that means that Willy will need to give Seiko watches.  Yes, Willy believes that they are the best and this is why Willy would give and receive these great watches over the years. Willy believes that this giving of the great watches is important because watches seem to loosing out to cell phones for time keeping across the younger demographics. But what makes a watch special? The timekeeper is a gift that is important because it signifies the concern of the giver.  The timepiece is important because it has great tech inside of it? and has meaning because it was a gift? That  makes a watch cool sometimes just because of the thought process and kindnss of the giver.   You can't get that from a phone that tells time.

So Willy is saying to give a gift of a great watch that is cool and gives great joy to the receiver.  Make them proud of the watch.  Make it great.

Willy and the Mailbox.

As an out take on Willy's early life one must know that to Willy's mom and dad the Mailbox was an important item in life.  One of the most important things in the day was the trip to the mailbox.  This was not the cluster mailboxes that you see in the city or in an area where there are many houses.  You see Willy and his parents lived about 10 miles from the nearest town and 3 miles of this was down a long dusty rough road.  

Yes, there were no clustered  mailboxes here because there were no cluster of people.  The nearest neighbor was about 2 miles away and it would have been crazy to have commercial cluster mailboxes where everybody's mailbox was together.  That would mean some would travel miles to get their mail.

But as stated earlier, getting the mail was the highlight of my parents day especially as they began to age.  Mail was a life line that brought the weekly newspaper, the local grocery flier or that once in occasion letter from the kids.  Yes, mail was a great thing.

Story to continue later.
