Jade O'Connell "Baking with Tourette's and Family"

This is the same young lady that I discussed in my previous blog. This is the first video of hers I watched; my daughter showed this one to me. This is Jade's lightheartedness and ability to laugh at herself. She even stated in another video that she's gained more confidence after posting to...

Sayings, hyperbole, and expressions

“Behind every angry woman is a man with no idea what’s going on. ”

There are sayings / phrases, hyperbole, and expressions that often make me scratch my head. One example is when someone says that so and so has no balls or "grow a pair" when someone is either afraid of doing something or somehow indicates that the person is otherwise "acting in a girlish...

Veteran's Day

“"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." -- John F. Kennedy”

I just wanted to say thank you to all those who've served in our military.  Any chance I get to thank veterans, I do. If I see a license plate that indicates the driver has served, I thank them. If I see someone with a VFW hat on, I thank them. If I see a young man with a military uniform on, I...

Some funny stuff

“"We're NOT gonna protest..."”

By far the funniest moment in the 1994 movie PCU. This movie is every bit as relevant today as it was in 1994. 

Parents

“Home is where you are loved he most and act the worst. - Marjorie Pay Hinckley”

Some people think of their parents as their mother and father only. Some people were adopted and the person or people that adopted him / her are his / her parents. Some have divorced parents that remarried other people and then he / she has two sets of parents. That last one was me until I was...

Who doesn't like a good stroking?

Most people don’t understand the art of massage and every individual is unique in preferences of massage type and tissue depth. There’s a reason that professional masseuses [generally speaking] have the customer fill out a questionnaire prior to their massage. The first massage I ever...

Rocky ate monkey butt today

Rocky got a new toy today; a little stuffed monkey made by Kong. I knew it would happen. I knew it wouldn't last a day. However, it lasted longer than I thought with how he murders toys. My Rocky ate monkey butt today. He began with the tag with the washing instructions, figured out there was...

GoFundMeforRileyandNick I'm sharing this because this is a friend / coworker and he is the father in law and grandfather of the people that were killed by a drunk driver in the accident of the seeded article. I don't have expectations; however, if it's possible to help this family, that would...

Sometimes I wonder if people research the government office websites, which are available to the public and aren't simply documenting a story. I don't care what news publication or media it is, there's usually a specific agenda. However, if you research these government office websites, you'll...
