I have finished my re-edit of 'The Totally Unnecessary Death of Amanda Dawn.' I had forgotten how emotional the ending of that story was, and it will take some time to forget and rebury the thoughts that had been successfully forgotten. It was based on a 'real story,' but it was based on three... Sign in to see full entry.

I just spent an hour talking - correct that - attempting to speak to a Humana Health agent to change our address. Good grief, I know that the well of potential workers is 'shallow,' but that woman does not belong answering a phone to customers. I may not be a world-class orator, but I know that I...

I'm trying to figure out what to do with our central living room ceiling. Under the drywall they are using for the current ceiling appears to have some beautiful woodwork. The question is, was there a reason they covered it with the drywall? What to do, what to do? I'm not sure. I used to be... Sign in to see full entry.
It got right down COLD last night. Our heating system is down, but I bought a room heater to help keep us warm. I am hoping to have the heat fixed by Friday. The overnight temps aren't supposed to be as bad as last night, but still in the upper 40s. We can live in that stuff with the heating system... Sign in to see full entry.

Good golly, Miss Molly. It is 35 here right now! Eegads, it's cold! We are bundled up and are pretty comfy. Let's put it this way. We are bundled so tight that even the wife is smiling! LOL I learned something today - There is one nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people. Sign in to see full entry.
We survived the first big storm of the year here in Florida without much damage. The power was out for about five hours, and we had a tornado warning. I don't think an actual tornado landed, but the winds were extremely high. I have lived in Florida for twelve years before this last move, and I have... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm posting this by cell phone. We have what was being touted as 45mph winds and heavy rain. The power is out and I suspect that it may stay that way for a while. We are tucked in safe and warm right now, so I think we are good. Take care. V Sign in to see full entry.
Here is something that I learned the hard way. I wasted a lot of time before I figured it out! Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone. Sign in to see full entry.
We have a heavy storm JUST to the west of us. I went down town to pick up some milk, and ran into a blinding rain that started three blocks to the west. It was a real struggle to see. In the way back, I hit that same area, and it stopped raining. The radar shows the storm moving to the northeast... Sign in to see full entry.
Good morning. There's not much on the schedule today as we give ourselves a day off. I'm not sure what the wife has planned, but I am sure she will tell me when I 'need to know.' It is supposed to be warm again today, but the temps will divebomb into the upper 30s tonight with only a high of 55... Sign in to see full entry.
