While I understand that the following is a controversial subject, I would like everyone to remain civil while discussing. This is not an article to discuss any president past or present. I will flag anyone that mentions any president’s name [past or present]. CPL Renewal I just renewed my concealed pistol license (CPL) for the third time, which means that I’ve had a CPL for 15 years now....

When it comes to coffee, I can honestly say that I’m quite the snob. There are very few places that I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed the coffee... and they’re all in Europe. I can tolerate coffee at a few different places here in the US, but the reality is, “store-bought” (Starbucks, McD’s, etc.) coffees here in the US don’t hold up to coffee in several European countries. Only if I’m...

Birthday’s are a funny thing. We celebrate that we’ve made it another year. I suppose at one time, making it another year was something spectacular. However, today... well with COVID and its new mutated children it might be something spectacular, but generally speaking it’s not all that spectacular to make it another year. It’s not like we have thousands dying of smallpox, dysentery, typhoid,...

First of all, I'm wishing all of you the best holiday possible. It's been a rough year for a lot of people. Secondly, I'm rather sure that I won't be turning on a computer at any point before the new year after today and I sure hope 2021 will prove to be a much better year! Lastly, I'm pretty blind; therefore, I don't generally log on here from my phone. So, at 3 pm [roughly] EST, I will...

Yesterday, I came up with the ridiculous nickname, Princess Unicorn Rainbow Farts in which TG replied, can’t we just call you PURF instead? That got me thinking about how I couldn’t believe I actually found a gif to represent unicorn rainbow farts and how much fun it would be to see what people come up with and if a pic or gif could be found to represent such ridiculousness. I’ll let you...

I saw these guys live at Pine Knob / DTE Music Theater; it was fantastic. Nice to Know You Dig Anna Molly Magic Medicine A Certain Shade of Green

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." Along the same lines, calling someone a pussy, indicating similar as the aforementioned. Now,...

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 thank them.  I used to work for AM General some time ago and I built prototype HMMWVs in various...

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...
