I am still walking, breathing, talking, and I’m ok with that.

Originally posted 2014-04-23 13:35:05. Ok, from the first time I got sick, to the first surgery to the last. They all were needed for something. After 19 surgeries…let’s see. One of the bigger ones was the spinal fusion. November 2004. Went to the doctor for a CT/MRI follow-up. He tells me…you broke your spine. I literally thought he was playing. I mean come on.

Who wrote the book on how to raise children?

Originally posted 2014-03-31 18:30:07. You know there are oodles of books on the market on how to raise children. You are told to do it this way or that way.

I realize that the intentions of some are good but then…

Sunday Afternoon

Originally posted 2021-03-22 17:33:25. Yesterday we went out to find my nephew’s birthday present. We met up with my daughter who also brought my grandbaby. We got there and we needed to use the bathroom. Since it was several of us we took turns. For some reason this bathroom had a limited amount of stalls. You would have thought they would have had more than that but maybe it is a covid-19 thing. The men’s…
