Timeline...

A few times a year I say I'm going to do a timeline of everything I can think of. My brother and I were discussing the cars we owned and I can recall all of them and the sequence, but I'm unsure of the year for each car. I know when I started flying

Wanna ride with me in my time machine?

This is a letter I sent to my oldest son about his birth. Tom, It was springtime in 1961 and I was working as a foreign car mechanic at Rootes Motors in L.I.City. I had been there about 2 years. Rootes was a British car Co that made the Hillman,

It's My Life (A Short History) Part 3

When I was 23 I had reached the point where I was staring down in the abyss, and I saw that what I was becoming was my dad. ( !!! ). I was given a book to read by a "friend", (Not that I Understood the concept of friendship at the time). Th

Inner Peace

Was just sitting here on this site reading poetry and blogs lost in my own world.. Looked up and outside we have a beautiful big tree and a tattered old swing made out of a plank of wood, this young girl of 17 that kind of just fell into our famil

Almost everyone in the blogs looks the same to me these days.

This can happen to you bloggers in real life too.

Moving away

As a very young child (I was about 5/6 when my mother left my father), we moved around a lot. My mother sometimes worked 2 jobs, but rent and other bills always drained her finances. Wherever she found better-paying work, and or cheaper accommodatio

It's no secret that a good percentage of the Asian women on CS are Philippine working in other countries. It could be cities like Hong Kong, Singapore or Dubai where they are contracted to be domestic help and in many cases, English teachers for youn

Daddy, PLEASE don't run again...

I saw an article where Ivanka expressed her desire for her father not to run in 2024. It's been hard on her and Jared as their personal lives still require security. Media follows their moves and they don't enjoy the continues stress of questions by

Cherishing each other

My siblings and I have been 'orphans' since April of 2017, when my last parent made her exit from this life. Her pictures, words, mannerisms, efforts, and other elements of her existence often cross my mind. Even more so, is the fact that persons w

Fond Memories

When my son Steven was about 3 months old, we went to a Roy Rogers restaurant for some lunch. To my left sat a rather old woman in her 80's. My wife was holding our son and I could see the old woman looking at him admiringly. I'm pretty good at re

A cute memory

My grandivas are in their mid to late twenties now. One of my cutest memories from when they were in elementary school is about the time texting began. The girls got phones and I got a text at work from the oldest one. I texted back and for a fe

Teaching death to age 3

Just thinking…. remembering the day I explained death to my son, when he was 3 years old. That was the day we were in my favorite Forest, connecting with our Earth mother and Creator. We walked around listening to the sounds of insects and animals

Watching a Kid

Ha ha my son left his 12 yr old son with me for a week. I haven't watched a boy child in almost 50 years. When the divas were little I was younger and still in the working force with much more energy or patience than I have as a retiree. I was a b

Fried Apples

I'm not an apple gal hence Bella the tiny Chi has Not been given any either. Mom gave me a couple of apples saying she fried hers which I've never done. I peeled, chopped, cut a few raw pieces into Bella's food and hollered at her about 15 times to

Proud Nonny

I saw this post by my grandiva the other day on FB and because I'm so proud of this my wild child granddiva - I'm going to share what she wrote. It may mean nothing to you but it moved me. Long read but goes fast: Imagine what this was like for a

Time to Wait

I believe I wrote about hospice being called in for my Dad over a month ago. He was so bad off. I figured since Hospice was called his departure would be soon, not the case. In my youth I heard a saying "Waiting on someone to die is the longest wa

Your tips for graduates, from the perspective of your life experience.

Dear friends! Most of you who read and comment on my blogs already know I'm a special boy's mom. But I am also a mom of a very smart, intelligent, creative, beautiful, kind daughter. She is a million times better than me. She is active in various

Wonderful Feeling

What a wonderful feeling to end a day full of Love. Dad turned 90, Mom, all my siblings came together at an Italian Restaurant even both my kids drove a 100 miles to be together, 15 of us. My brothers got Dad out of the rehab facility for 4 hours.

You Owe The Federal Government $448,778. And So Do Your Kids.

That's each of your children, grand children and any other living offspring. You think anything the government hands out is “free?” It’s not anything close to it. Everything they do costs twice as much as it would if done in the private sector and

Taken for granted

A friend of mine has been having a right whinge about her daughter-in-law using her as an on-tap babysitter without so much as a by-your-leave. Her DIL is now throwing a strop because my buddy (who has a full-time fairly stressful job) said no when s

A Tribute to my Mom ~ on my birthday

It was against the odds. She was 46 and already had 4 adult children and 1 still at home. A new relationship, after a scandalous affair had ripped her first marriage to shreds, brought her love she had thought she'd never have again. I was a s

Hungary

Just heard a few days ago that Hungary is encouraging young Hungarian families to have more kids (due to population decline) and with that comes some benefits for the mother as well. Benefits include a $36,000 loan which is cancelled after a certain

To be in a BIG Jail

In my million dreams, I never dreamt to be in this place. I had to be confined in a place where, nothing could quenched my thirst. Yeah, I was so thirsty that I could not be relieved with any beverage. All I needed was alcoholic drinks. I was a h

Dad...

I was inspired by Imp's blog about 'I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM' and weeks later I'm getting to actually do the blog. My dad was born in New York City. Like most kids, my dad had an after school job. His was making (bicycle)

My blessing, today my daughter was flown in rom Frisco and will drive with me back to the West Coast

Some people count their blessings based on material wealth. I guess there is nothing wrong with that really. For me, I count my blessings with my health (very active at 67, still do 100 push up a day), but most especially the love of my children,

The downfall of America's dad

I have mixed feelings when I read about the verdict of Bill Cosby last night. First off he is very old, second he truly symbolized the most ideal father like persona each of us had come to admire and emulate during the early 80s and on. But in re
