Meet The Homeless Americans Living in Walmart Parking Lots


For thousands of homeless Americans, Walmart parking lots are the safest place to sleep. Many of these homeless are Veterans forgotten and disrespected by the very people they served and risked their lives for. Remember, the suicide and homeless rate for U.S. Veterans (who are roughly only 7% if the U.S. population sacrificing for the other 93% of Americans) are significantly higher than adults who never served in the Military.

"The suicide rate was 1.5 times greater for veterans than for adults who never served in the military, even after adjusting for age and gender.

The gap was even greater for female veterans: after adjusting for age, their suicide rate was 1.8 times greater than the rate for non-veteran women in 2016." ~ The Guardian

Bonez Celebrates 3rd Anniversary


Three years, two hundred and thirteen thousand plus page views and well over 1,200 individual posts later Bonez is going stronger and is more alive than ever. Little did I know when I created this blog that it would still be around or in this form three years later. Bonez was sort of a departure from and a rebound from my previous blog Bad Monkey No Banana (BMNB). BMNB ended up a memorial to my brother, Charles, who passed away after suffering from head and neck cancer. I thought I had sworn off blogging but realized just how therapeutic it was for me... yes, I "needed" it.

Bonez has continued to evolve and morph and, I am certain, will continue to do so on into the future. I want to thank the many people who have contributed to the success of Bonez either by being active co-authors and members of the Bonez Crew or have suggested content or topics for posts via e-mail. Over the years we have gone through a gambit of emotions and events and made many friends and probably even a few "enemies". Such is the life of a blogger and a blog.

We pride ourselves that our page views are credited as "pure" and primarily search engine driven hits and read by regular visitors versus the paid for or traffic engine generated pass-thru some bloggers use to inflate their numbers. Oh, we must admit to our own share of hit whoring and experimentation but all in good fun and in hope of spreading our silliness to those in dire need of silliness in their lives around the world. Our goal is still to draw quality traffic from people who want to be here and share with us the zaniness and diversity that is Bonez.

Bonez has also attempted to educate and inform people that we are all much more similar to each other than we are different and we should not dwell too much on those differences. Sometimes we all take some things too damn seriously... but then again, sometimes we don't take some things seriously enough. Bonez will continue to open its arms and collective mind up to new ideas and respect the thoughts of others. Bringing a smile, some tad bit of insight or a new twist on an old idea is what we are all about. We will keep on doing just that because the reality is that blogging is about doing what we like without regard to a possible audience. We want to keep it fun or let it go. How it all ends up remains to be seen but we will enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Three Years? A Monster Looks Back


Hi there, folks. Long time no see. Not for want of interest, mind you, just that life has a way of getting in the way of life, if you catch my drift.

But all of that is circumstantial. What I'm here to talk about is the milestone of three unholy years of terror unleashed by Tony upon the web. A celebration of the daily rigmarole that Tony and his erstwhile crew of bloggers manage to unleash upon the interwebs.

I have been a watcher of Bonez since the earliest days. (If you want to get technical, I was around before Bonez, before Bad Monkey, before blogging even existed.) I stood in the sideline for many years, appreciating the art of what Tony was doing; the back and forth with his readers over the minutiae of whatever topic he felt like discussing.

Over many long years, I told Tony of my deep held love of writing and of my desire to cut my teeth in the skill, to see if I could match on paper (or screen) what I thought I had in my mind. The invitation was laid before me long ago. Only my all too human fears prevented me from taking that plunge.

It was Bonez, however, that gave me the final nudge to try my hand at this. And so on July 10 of 2007, I made my first foray into the world of blogging. (For the record, a meandering and pointless little piece promising things that never came to pass.)

Regardless of my own interpretation, the piece seemed to attract a small crowd of onlookers, and before long I found myself befouling the front page of Bonez several times a week, spilling forth the purulent contents of my mind to an all too eager readership.

But what attracted me most about Bonez was the motley assemblage of writers, the crew of ne'er-do-wells and malcontents that made up the Bonez of the day. It was fun to engage in witty repartee with my co-writers, while all the time challenging myself to meet the challenge that their work presented.

Throughout the years the staff has changed. Such is the way of team blogs. Writers come and writers go. For my own part, I drifted off into my own little self-indulgent world (which I have rarely inhabited of late).

But the absence of new material from me has not dulled my interest in Bonez, nor has it affected the quality and quantity of output that your intrepid team manages to put forth.

It has been a great honor to be a part of the Bonez team and I look forward to future contributions and collaborations.
