My home is full of surprises, even after a year of living here I will find something new. This locale was built by the original owner, who had some deranged ideas about interior design, & even crazier ones about the landscaping. For example, in our central living area, with the attached kitchen & kitchen, there […]

For our son’s fortieth birthday, the entire family is going away for a numerous-night stay in upstate NY. My child has regularly wanted to go salmon fishing, & this was her opportunity. She needed a new fishing rod that was heavy enough for him to catch a salmon separate from it breaking the line or […]

It’s sort of a long story, however bear with me because it goes anywhere interesting. Our home-based construction supplier was having a difficult time because of some shortages on supplies. This started because of a strike from the local trucker’s union. Local laws were negatively impacting truckers, so they stopped making shipments to our area. […]

The internet offers of information that I wouldn’t have found in encyclopedias or dictionaries. I’m nearing seventy now, & I didn’t suppose I would ever learn how to use cellphones, or laptops, however here I am working from home, thanks to laptops & the internet. It’s enjoyable to suppose that I can just open a […]

I built our first chicken coop when I was twelve years old. My dad helped me out by threatening to kick our butt if I didn’t do it. Dad wasn’t a hands-on type of guy, however she knew how to encourage her adolescents! I appreciate to kid about it, however in her own way Dad […]

I am a trucker. I used to toil for one of the biggest shipping companies in the world, however now I own our own rig & only take freelance jobs. I won’t mention the supplier by name, because they don’t deserve any free publicity! It was a nice locale to work, the spend money was […]

My best friend just found out that she’s pregnant. The first thing she did after crying on my shoulder, was worry about what happens if there is still a shortage on baby formula. I had to laugh. I couldn’t believe that she had eight months to store some baby formula away. Whenever she found any, […]

It really sucks when you know exactly what you want, and someone is intent on selling you something you really don’t want. He specifically said he was 12 gauge plastic coated wire tie. Instead of coming out and saying they didn’t have what my husband wanted, the salesman tried to push 16 gauge black annealed […]

I overheard my brother talking about PVC bar ties, and I had to cut in. I didn’t know he had a new bar in his house, and I really didn’t know that it was PVC or had ties on it. I asked him how many ties he had on his PVC bar. He laughed and […]
