If I'm online, it's because it's too cold to be outside!

My sister hijacked our wedding

This wasn't recent it was in 2003. My now wife and I were on our second go around having already been married and divorced once before, so we had just wanted a small simple wedding. We are both very laid-back, no-frills kind of people who value the... See More »

I haven't stopped caring; I've stopped pretending I care

I've never really been a people person. I find most people to be exhausting, more mentally than physically. Plus, I just don't form attachment to people the way that most others do. I'm simply not wired that way. I am married with 4 kids.........I... See More »

The reality of being an auto mechanic

Over the weekend I had a few minutes to sit down in front of the tv, something that rarely happens on the weekends. I stumbled across a show where a guy was talking about why so many auto mechanics are leaving the car business. I don't know who this... See More »

My youngest is the closest to me

I love all 4 of my kids, that goes without saying. All of mine are adopted and we’ve had them all since very early childhood. The youngest was still a baby when we adopted her, so maybe for that reason alone she is the most like me and the one I... See More »

I don't have many friends and I'm ok with that

Honestly, I'm not really a people person. I enjoy peace and quiet, but when I do have a conversation, I want it to be meaningful. I don't think I've ever had more than 2 or 3 good friends at a time, and those that I do have now I don't see more than... See More »

It blows my mind that I need a license to go fishing......catch and release with barbless hooks, but ANYONE can just have kids and screw them up for life. No training or license required. Let me give this a little context. I was a foster parent... See More »

This last storm, at least in my area really wasn't a big deal, more like normal winter weather. But of course, the internet and the news blew it up like it was the end of the world. I got 6 inches of snow on top of the 3 feet I already had at my... See More »

Seamstress and more!

When me and my wife adopted our 4 kids Becky had to make a choice.......Work from home or not adopt the kids. Becky tried a few different things that never really worked out, then COVID hit. For as much as it sucked for some people it turned into a... See More »

Drinking from the garden hose

For whatever reason drinking from the garden hose has become synonymous with generation X. Not really sure why it seems to be such a big deal to the younger people out there. Yes I did it, I still do it, my wife and kids do it.............although to... See More »

I love small town life

There's a lot to be said for living and working in a small down. It's the sense of community that doesn't exist in a city. I live in a town of about 40 people, small enough to be tacked on to the next town over (population 1400) for "administrative... See More »

Apparently, I don't use a cell phone enough?

Has your wireless carrier ever emailed you to make sure your phone is still functional? Mine does, usually about 3 times a year. Until I turned off screen time tracing (I don't see the point of the feature), I was averaging 5 to 10 minutes per day... See More »

I don't understand my kids........but I try

So, here's a little background........Me and my wife didn't have any kids together. My first wife couldn't carry to term, and my current wife already had 2 teenagers when we met 24 years ago. Fast forward to 2014 we started being foster parents and... See More »

Suggestions for a new cell phone

My iPhone SE got the horrible update last week. Now, a week later I'm ready to use it for target practice. I've spent the last few days searching online for a new phone that fits the way I live, and I'm having no luck. I don't need a bunch of useless... See More »

Tech companies make me want to scream!

First let me say that I'm not a technophobe, and I don't want this to sound like a rant, but I am genuinely annoyed. I came later than most to the internet and was the last person I know to get a cell phone. I'm just not that wrapped up in the latest... See More »
