We all have some sort of skillset that we were pretty much born with and then there's skills that we've worked on to perfect, or at least get as close to perfection as possible. I think I was born with the skill of research. I also was born with the ability to swim and ice skate; no one taught me either of those, I just did those things as a toddler / small child. Maybe it was as simple as...

What are your favorite Halloween traditions? For those with kids and grandkids, what were the costumes they wore that were your favorite? Do you like "scary" movies? I quote scary because I've never particularly found horror movies scary; not even as a little kid. I was 3 when I would watch Friday the 13th movies with my babysitter. I was 5 when I saw A Nightmare on Elm St. I've always loved...

Some of you here on NT are fellow Michiganders and know the beauty that Michigan has; especially as the weather begins to grow colder and the leaves begin to change. I've seen photos from various states; many from Pennsylvania, Maine, and other New England states, and Colorado. We're going to start seeing more fall colors soon.

During this global pandemic, what have you done to occupy your time?  I can honestly say that my life isn't far different than before people started catching [and many dying from] COVID-19 besides having to wear a mask in the store and not having to commute 60 miles round trip daily. However, the lack of drive time to and from work actually made me more productive in my role. Moreover, I get...

This subject is a little dark, but something that I think people need to share with his / her loved ones even if it's just in case something happens. My mother and stepfather have a living will and I had to sign it as the executor. I have no idea if my father or stepmom has anything like this in place. The company I work for has certain free services that employees can take advantage of...

The weather has been fantastic. Dry, but cool and crisp for weeks now. Perfect early fall weather. I've started working on the garden fence again because of it, even though the rabbit threat is still a bit high to be taking wire down. I've been able to wrap it back around the corner I'm working on well enough at the end of the day without actually clipping it on, so no problems yet....

Making abortions illegal does not reduce the steady demand for terminations by even one case. The real abortion rate in Mexico and Czechoslovak, where elective abortions are mostly illegal, is at least twice that of the United States which plainly illustrates the only pertinent point. Making abortions illegal does not stop women from aborting. What it does is to make criminals of the women,...

I sure wish they made these today. They're so educational. My son learned a lot about grammar and basic math from these. Then when he did a project regarding the branches of government, we watched the ones that were related to that subject. I love these and they bring back a lot of memories. Which one is / was your favorite?
