In my reading this morning, the story of a mother & child removed from a plane in the Raleigh-Durham area because the child was having a “meltdown” was mentioned. I looked up the story, I read the comments, & came away with 2 minds on it.
First off, I don’t fly. Not if I can help [...]

“I will not be de-thonged”!

Today, I know for a fact that the hairs Chris still has on his head are getting further apart, because of all the swelling going on there.
Every time his computer is shut down, for whatever reason, his WordPress account has to have the password put back in, for him to access it. Of course, he [...]
Well, that was interesting

NOT!
The power went out today, which is unusual in itself. Why I panicked after I called Xcel, was the estimated time of repair. 4 hours! I got a live body on the phone (who’s actually located in the U.S.!) & explained that wasn’t going to work for me. No, I don’t have anyone here on [...]
It’s Chris’ fault

Joe is his progeny. It’s all his fault, every bit of it.
The fan on Joe’s ‘91 Kawasaki crotch rocket has stopped working. He calls a motorcycle shop & asks about the cost of a new one. For the name brand, it’s a little over $500.00. I told him to call other places & check out [...]
I married a plumber, even though he wasn’t working at it when we met, or got married. I gave birth to a plumber. Does MY plumbing work right? In a word, NO.
I’m watering the back yard right now, & using the same sprinkler that I used in the front. The water isn’t going as far, which [...]
This works well

I was thinking about the date this morning, & realized that it’s time for my diamond ring to go in to be checked, according to the warranty plan I have on it. Since the store is in the local mall, I immediately tried to find a way to make Chris, or Joe, take it in. [...]
Opie 10,002 Chris 2

In the contest to see who can top who, there’s a definite advantage on one side, & from the title of this post, I think it’s evident who has that advantage.
Opie is a fire alarm tech in Illinois, who happens to be a literal computer geek. Chris is a plumber in Colorado, who owns a [...]
I’m so far behind the times

In my daily reading, I ran across a site, don’t date him girl, & then add a dot com to it. I had to laugh at it.
I’m sure that the authors/contributors mean well, & just want to prevent some women from falling for the creeps that they did, but couldn’t this get out of hand? [...]
No wonder it won’t be there

When I finally hit the age I can draw Social Security & depend on Medicare for my medical needs, they won’t be there. I know this, & and I’m working on not needing it. Why won’t it be there? Because people are crooks, & the system is overwhelmed.
Been in a car wreck, or an accident at [...]
I don’t think so

For a little bit this afternoon, I had tossed around the idea of making crab soup, with live crabs. That idea has been tossed out the window.
First is the problem of getting live shellfish. It has to be flown in from the coast, to our land-locked state. Then I would have to kill it, only to [...]
