Cripe! It's almost midnight, and my stomach is hankering for a chocolate raspberry ice cream sandwich. I'd gotten a box ($5, or was it two boxes for $5?) of them a few weeks ago, and now I'm out of them. I wonder what time Cub Foods closes?? If I'm not back in thirty minutes, send out the RCMP*! (*look it up if you don't know the acronym) (i wonder if my dad was this weird at this age??) … [Read more...]

The following are not my words, but reflect how I feel: Original post There's a whole lot of hatred going on in the Facebook world right now. In my experience to date, Facebook rants, keyboard "warriors", and emotionally charged bantering back and forth has never nor will they ever solve a national problem. Furthermore, they will never change a person's point of view. It just won't happen. So … [Read more...]

I am quite proud to say, most, if not all of my FB friends are people with very kind hearts, and are not bullies, nor haters. I'm glad that most of you have open minds, and are tolerant and accepting of people different than yourself, due to their loving a person of the same sex, or due to them being transgender, or due to them loving a person of a different skin color, or due to them being … [Read more...]

So, I noticed you commented on a post from a "major" religious figure (you know, the person's initials are "FG"). But, due to the way FB sometimes works, I wasn't able to see the actual comment - maybe since there were a few hundred thousand other comments to that post (and why the FB algorithm fails...). Anyway, I just wanted to share with you that you were the cause of me losing an hour or so of … [Read more...]

My kind of weather today - currently 75, high of 79. Got all my windows open, listening the various birds chirping, some minor road traffic from the county road 1/2 mile away. And, then, there are my backyard neighbors, with their air conditioner running full tilt. Weird thing is, it looks as though their back door is open as well. Not sure whether I should go over and tell them (that their AC … [Read more...]

My thoughts, prayers and tears are with the people in Orlando. Why do so many people have such hatred in their hearts and heads? … [Read more...]

Article on money "made" by the Chewbacca "Mom" First: Good for her! She made us laugh. She made lots (thousands, if not millions) of us laugh as we watched her laugh. Second: How can anyone feel a need to hate or criticize her for getting/making money off of her video? Doesn't make any sense to me. I truly dislike complainers/haters/trolls/bullies. Get a life. Rather than use the Internet to … [Read more...]

Had a great dinner and conversation with BFF Kelsey Bruso, at MOA/Cadillac Grill tonight. Had an awesome Chicken Diablo Pasta, while Kelsey has some wonderful ribs. As always, it was great to see him. Always enjoy his company. … [Read more...]

it's pretty hard for me to remember my dreams. But, I know I had one last night, and I should have gotten out of bed afterwards to type this up, because now, my memory of the dream isn't as vivid as it was immediately after my waking up. Setting the scene: The house got a bit hot in the latter part of the afternoon, but not so hot that I wanted to turn the air on. So, I turned on the fan I have … [Read more...]

Video showing Best Dad Ever Best. Dad. Ever. I would do this if Lailah ever wanted to do mine - it's not that big of a deal (for me). I guess it's because I know who I am now at my age. Maybe, if I was age twenty - thirty, back then, I might have been (very) self conscious, but not any more. This dad rocks. … [Read more...]

If there can only be one status that you read of mine, this is the one to read. Please take two minutes to read this posting. I usually don't pick a movie at random to watch on the tube. I usually know what the subject is before I watch a movie. I was on NetFlix tonight, and under "New releases", I saw a title called "A girl like her". I didn't know what it was going to be about. I usually do … [Read more...]

It's quite interesting (and ironic) that when someone posts a story about how she reacted to overhearing some teenagers and stuff they were saying, there are still "haters" who are bashing this woman, for telling the kids "to be kind". The "haters" just do not get it. If you are unable to say anything positive, just don't say anything. Original post about haters … [Read more...]

I must be one of the most clueless persons on earth... A month or so ago, I decided to check out this HBO comedy-drama called "Girls". Supposedly it's really "funny", and I thought I really needed to get some "funny" in my life. "Girls" in case you don't recognize the name, is this comedy created by a woman named "Lena Dunham", and, according to many comedians, she is supposed to be really, … [Read more...]

Received this awesome and very unexpected present in the mail today. What a great book - I absolutely love this photographer and his photos! It's even autographed by him! Thank you so much, Debbie! — with Debbie Riddell. … [Read more...]

When I first moved to the Twin Cities almost thirty years ago, I thought this local legend was such a goofball. Now, after living here and hearing his show numerous times, he's grown on me, and while he's still a goofball, I think he's a pretty funny goofball. You're in our thoughts, Mr. Keillor. … [Read more...]
