Frustrating Computer Problems...

My computer has decided it doesn't want to read the OS so I am off Blogit until I can get it replaced. I tried using my phone but it's just too difficult. I will probably buy another one in the morning... Until then CHEERS... Sign in to see full entry.

March is a Great Month for Sports Fans!

I love it when March comes for many reasons. The top two are sports tournaments and spring’s arrival. I saw some great games today. The conference tournaments are underway and the University of Michigan upset Purdue today. It featured 18 lead changes and 14 ties plus overtime. Michigan won 74-70.... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes We Find Out Things a Little Bit Too Late!

Before Jessica and I went to the thrift store we met her husband for lunch at a pizza restaurant. They serve a fine salad and pizza bar, too! As Jessica and Chris were conversing I was watching a college basketball game. Neither one was paying attention to the game. You couldn’t hear the TV because... Sign in to see full entry.

Shopping Can be Hazardous, to My Health That is…

When I was helping my ex-neighbor move on Sunday I managed to get a rocking chair from her sister. My daughter had been looking for one for her front porch. Today we were out looking for a cushion for the chair. She wanted one with sunflowers on it but we were unable to find one. Then Jes decided to... Sign in to see full entry.

I’m in Favor of Deporting ANYONE Who is Here Illegally, But…

I don’t have a problem with deporting anyone who is in the United States illegally but I am opposed to the ‘harassment’ of those who are here legally. Today my daughter sent me a text with a letter one of her co-worker got from the Idaho State Tax Commission. The woman is legally here and Mexican.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Little Things Seem to be the Most Annoying at Times!

Today is the day to pay bills for me. I decided to keep my newspaper subscription when they offered me a deal of 80% off the regular rate. The one thing I didn’t understand was why it was ending 19 days early from the previous year, I had anticipated the subscription being extended because there... Sign in to see full entry.

Knowing When To Throw The Towel In…

Yesterday I got a call from the gal that I have endlessly been helping with her budget. I cannot get her to use her money to work for her instead of against her. She is just of the mindset to apply one band aid after another. She moved out of her house and consequently rented it to her son. If the... Sign in to see full entry.

It won’t Be Long Until It’s Planting Time!

I have been looking at flowers lately. I have a nice area in the back of my house but unfortunately it doesn’t get enough hours of sun to grow a garden. I have tried for two years now and it is an exercise in futility. I tried taking limbs off the tree on my property but I find it so difficult to... Sign in to see full entry.

Just When You Think You Have it Bad, Someone Else is Has it Worse…

Today I am doing much better than I have over the last five days. This morning I read an article on a dad who was a medic in the Iraq. He began drinking heavily just to get to sleep. Then he had a son and it changed his life. Fast forward 9 years and his son collapsed at a football practice. He was... Sign in to see full entry.

The Sorrow Has Passed, Somewhat!

Saturday was my sister’s birthday. It has been nearly two years since she passed away but it isn’t getting much easier to accept it! I really wanted her to be my Lazarus but as hard and as long as I prayed it was not to be. I know the Lord works in mysterious ways but I was a bit angry in the... Sign in to see full entry.
