Gather round chillrens.  Get you a cup of hot chocolate, or some egg nog.  Uncle Santa Bruce has his mug of Jack Daniels Egg Nog, and I'm gonna share some of my favorite Christmas songs with ya.  So take a seat on the floor here.  Except you Sister Mary Agnes.  And you Perrie.  I heard you two girls have been naughty this year.  You two come sit on Uncle Santa Bruce's lap.  I got a special...

One hundred years ago our cities were very different than they are now. Many people traveled around town in horse drawn carriages. Then to travel large distances from one city to another they would take the train. Everyone was excited about the harnessing of electricity and all the new found applications for it. The industrial revolution was well on its way. Machines were being invented at a...

Goverment emails are now in federal court beacuse the postal service was getting rid of its disabled employees. Some of the emails were see you bums at Walmart, song cripple creek and employees being congradulated for getting rid of 25 percent of the disabled employees. The post office lost the law suit and has refused to pay the disabled workers sending out massive mailing telling people they...

November was horrible for my family.  I was never so happy to see a month end.  On November 6th, my father passed away.  One week later my mother in law passed away.  Family disputes (on hubby's and my sides) have made the events very painful.  My MIL's service was the weekend following her death here in NY.  The day of calling hours we had a major snowstorm.  It was a miserable hour drive to...

Even before Trump, it had been getting harder and harder to understand how centrists could remain in the center.  The Republican party slid farther and farther into the swamp, to the point that they were little more than a gang of corporate thugs.  How could ANYONE, save the most cultish of all right wingers, continue to support them? The simplest explanation is that centrists simply don't...

As the horror show in the White House churns on, the continued support of Donald Trump by such a large segment of American society becomes more and more outrageous.  How can any normal, reasonable person accept Trump support as a valid, respectable position? The insane amount of corruption, obvious criminality, open and blatant obstruction of justice, constant lying, complete and utter...

I imagine that some pf you saw this as an opportunity to scream, spit vitriol and pummel others on the subject of illegal immigration and the undocumented. Sorry to disappoint, but this about the amazing birds and insects that come to visit me - and they are always welcome...

I love the little village I live in and Halloween is a much loved holiday around here and also a time with a lot of events that residents of the village are expected to participate in, not least important among them is to be at home, with your porch light on and a big bowl of candy by the door between the hours of 4PM and 6:00PM on the night designated for trick or treating by the...

As we get closer and closer to winter, the leaves are changing colors and falling to the ground and there are very few flowers left to see in the wild or in the yards of my neighbors. I flipped through the many pictures of flowers I took this year and realized how important my flower garden is to me When I retired, I was not sure what I was going to do to "keep busy" - I played a lot of golf,...

Good life advice for us all I ran across this today and it struck a note with me and I felt compelled to share. I am going to look at this quote every morning and try to live my life accordingly

Some folks here find me to be CRAZY, IDIOTIC, STIFF, ARCHAIC, DICTATORIAL, STUPID, RETARDED, LOONY, MORONIC, CLUELESS......etc. Oh Well. Believe it or not, I've figured you all out too.

Politics...…)))))shiver((((( mine and your...

A little late.  But hey, it's my blog. I'll start with what I like to call "Well, I thought it was funny!" So Stormy Daniels got some bad news this week.  One of her lawsuits against President Trump was dismissed.  AND...she has to pay his legal fees.  I bet Cohen wishes he was still Trump's lawyer right now.  Of course, the Meme/Twitter-sphere had a field day with this news....
