Reposting by popular demand. Remembering Her   She was 24 years old when she died. In an age of technological advancements, she was getting old. But don't tell that to her crew. They will tell you she had a punch. She could throw a 14" 1,400 lbs armor piercing shell 34,000 yards at 2,700 feet per second. She was a force to be reckoned with. Apparently, the Japanese felt the same...

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 YouTube, Tik Tok, and the like.

**Warning, vulgar language in video.** Jade O'Connell is just one of many that suffer from Tourette Syndrome and posts videos to YouTube, Tik Tok, Instagram, and the like. I learned of this young lady from my daughter. Jade often posts videos of her baking with her family members and they are funny videos. She even has a few that show her doing makeup on herself and others, which is also...

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 manner."

If I see someone with a VFW hat on, I thank them. If I see a young man with a military uniform on, I thank them.  I used to work for AM General some time ago and I built prototype HMMWVs in various...

Thus, my gardening growing season is over for the year, even though the forecast for the coming week says it's going to be beautifully warm and sunny (for November, anyway) for something like 8 days in a row. . - The first killing...

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 received was when I was going through physical therapy (PT) for my knees at 14 years old. I was the only...

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 a squeaker, got the squeaker out and tossed that aside, and proceeded to pull at the "Kong" sewn...
