Accents

“It's pop!”

So, I've been watching random YouTube videos about accents; mainly accents of the US. Some of the things I do or say, I didn't realize they were related to Michigan or sometimes Northern Midwest states. There's a few I enjoy in particular. A couple are specifically about my home state of...

Woman from Mali gives birth to 9 babies in Morocco

“A Malian woman has given birth to nine babies at once — after expecting seven, according to Mali's Minister of Health and the Moroccan clinic where...”

Oh... no no no no no no no no no! A no for every one of those 9 babies! Could you even begin to imagine the insanity in that household with 9 infants [assuming they all continue to survive and thrive], then 9 teething babies, then 9 running toddlers, then 9 school - aged kids, then GOOD GRIEF 9...

When you surprise yourself...

“The greatest thing you can do is surprise yourself. Steve Martin”

It's not very often that I surprise myself; especially in a good way. Last night, not only did I surprise myself, but my family too. I never really took to cooking. Never really liked it much to be honest. I still don't really like doing it, but I'm getting better in spite of that. Well, I've...

Some information...

“This is why a community like this, despite our differences is important. It is also a way to share with each other and that matters so much....”

Yes, I quoted Perrie in this one.  A couple weeks ago, I noticed our "Just Jim" had not been here for a spell. I sent him a private note (PN) checking in on him. I received a reply a few days later. He told me that he was in the hospital with COVID. I let a few individuals know about the...

I want to share something from my local news...

““Quit your (expletive) job, if you want to save this country.””

The following is a single passage in a local news [local to me] article. If you decide to go to the seed, it is the last entry. This is a section of this news site that provides people with info regarding occurrences in their neighborhoods. Wyandotte, MI is a place where Native Americans once...

My kids are awesome...

“Don't handicap your children by making their lives easy. Robert A. Heinlein”

Every day, my kids remind me of how awesome they are in several ways. My daughter is nearly 18 and I can only remember one time that she said something along the lines of hating me, which she quickly recanted and said that she hated that I was punishing her [I made her scrub cabinets for...

Crazy weather phenomena in our lives...

Despite the fact that I was only about 1.5 years old when the derecho "green storm" of southeast MI hit, I remember it quite vividly. I even verified my memory with my parents. I remember being outside on that warm July day and being in my dad's arms when the sky turned a pea-soup green. It was...

Several Paranormal Personal Experiences

To begin, I've always had an open mind and heart. While I still try to debunk things that occur to or around me, there have been several things I could not. My home was built in 1906, in Wyandotte, Michigan. This is a small city about 10-15 miles south of Detroit. The land was once occupied by...

Obscure forgotten vehicles that were kind of fun to drive

Can you name them all? Some are obvious, because they're labeled, but whatever.   Did you have flashbacks to obscure, publicly rejected, but secretly fun to drive cars? I've owned a couple of these.
