Well, I Broke Down And Made Purchase! Spendy, too!

As I said in the past I was having trouble getting my manuscript to read like I wanted using Kindle Previewer. I was prompted to download an updated version but it would not install. I went to Amazon to see what kind of assistance I could get and it was not what I wanted. I saw one of their... Sign in to see full entry.

Sad Sunday Night In Detroit!

Sunday night the Pistons played in game 96 of the current campaign. I have watched every game. The Pistons saved their worst for the last game of their season. The Cavaliers were an incredibly motivated squad. I have always said the team that wants a game the most will prevail especially in a game 7... Sign in to see full entry.

Big Day For My Pistons!

I've been reading different articles getting a take on the stats, opinions and even referee records when officiating games. It's the best way to stay calm for me. The two 'big guys' for Cleveland are 30 and 37 in age thus they have more experiece. The Pistons' core group is 24 or younger. Tobias... Sign in to see full entry.

Big Night In Detroit Sports!

The Pistons traveled to Cleveland for game 6 of the second round. After the heartbreaking loss in Detroit in game 5 plus Cavaliers going undefeated at home in the playoffs, I was one nervous fan. From the beginning the Pistons were focused and determined to leave Cleveland with the series tied 3-3... Sign in to see full entry.

A Cool Day Today After 97 Degrees Yesterday!

I had a good day since the heat went away. May is too early for 97 degree weather. I went to the grocery store that has a pharmacy in it only to discover they were closed for lunch. I didn’t need anything but my meds but Jessica did. She was picking up a few items for their camp trip. Plus she has a... Sign in to see full entry.

I Have A Suspicion My New Grand Baby Will Be Spoiled!

There are some reels on Facebook I follow. Tales of American Frontier, cabins built in the wilderness, and Michigan Moments are my favorites. They are always accompanied by ads. Once algorithms see what you view they inundate the reels with ads. I often wonder what Amazon makes on allowing purchases... Sign in to see full entry.

Frustrating To Lose A Potential Post!

I had the most magnificent, well written post, EVER! Lol I decided to proofread my post before I hit save and post. I have no idea what I did but the page started refreshing and then the post was gone! I suppose it wasn't meant to be. It was crying in my beer so to speak because my Pistons seem to...

An Eventful Day For Me. Crazy Misfortune!

I have a dishwasher but living by myself I dont use it very often. It's quicker to hand wash the few dishes I dirty on a daily basis. I still haven't figured out how a small glass broke when it slipped out of my hand, hit the edge of a sturdy plastic bowl and broke. I thought all the pieces fell... Sign in to see full entry.

Busy Saturday, Sports Teams In Action And Prepping For A Sale!

My Tigers continue to struggle. There doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. The pitching is in disarray due to injury. The offense is stagnant with few guys producing. Three key players are on the injury list. I have always maintained that a team who isn't producing when starters go down then the... Sign in to see full entry.

Quiet Day In The Treasure Valley.

I had a very quiet day. I should have dusted my house but I just did my exercises, walked 11,095 steps which included 4 15 minute walks and 500 steps per hour as well over an 8 hour period. One of the things I do after I awake and have my first glass of water is to print my puzzles in the eedition... Sign in to see full entry.
