I am not an author!
Seriously, I'm not an author. I have very little college experience. Mostly it was to get started in the first few weeks of classes and be forced to drop out because unfortunately when the financial aid checks would come, the other half of the relati
Today was her arraignment
I hope she got what she needed. I hope it went the way she wanted. I don't know. I just know that I was messaged by an old friend of mine who told me that she moved on in the most horrible fashion possible and that I may as well say goodbye to my old
Ha! Life is full of misadventures!
I finally did it. I picked up a load and was running back to the yard with it to take care of some personal paperwork so to speak. And as soon as I get within 5 miles a coolant hose blows up on the back of the engine and spewed coolant all over the p
For the parents here....
and non parents as well. What are the differences between raising girls and boys? An old Joke about the latter, is it's much easier, because then you only have one dong to worry about. Never had boys myself, but they might be easier, for lots of reas
I've been too depressed lately
I'm not so depressed that my job is suffering, but when I get back to the company yard with this trailer and drop it off, I'm going to sit down and come to a very serious decision on whether or not I can drive anymore. Not because I'm unable to. But,
So much for finishing
I feel gravely ill. Started vomiting up black stuff and huge pain in back and side and abdomen where the other half literally kicked the living hell out of me while I was on the ground on the 2nd. I. At my 2nd of 3 stops and I already called the comp
The unequal marriage. Problems
This topic is about the unequal marriage. Surely it got nothing to do with the Bible and with other religious things. It is a moral issue. The talk is when it comes in marrying and living with a spouse who is twice or far twice about age. A 55 years
I met Giuseppe today...
Earlier today I went to visit my niece and her 2 children. On the way back, I stopped for groceries and found a father & son team playing music in the parking lot. The term is busking and it refers to playing in a public place for donations.
Memories
I normally don't say much about anyone in my rl here or anywhere online but this is a funny memory I got of my father that I think is fine to share. Every Friday after supper, me and 3 other buddies would always end up at the house having a smoke
All in a day’s work
I turned up at the address with the boiler I was delivering and a man who looked like he was in his late 60s answered the door. He had bright orange lips that glistened and his mouth was hurrying to get rid of the last remnants of whatever he’d been
Theybies
Slugs and snails and puppy dog tails - Sugar and spice and all things nice - On one hand, I've never believed girls should be dressed in pretty little dresses, given dolls and housekeeping toys, or that little
The Very Clean Teapot
Some years ago my wife and I went away for the weekend; my mother stayed at the house and minded the kids while we were away. Not long after we returned we noticed that the inside of our teapot, which was normally tea stained almost black, was now g

Surprise military homecoming
Eitan and Romit Urman are annual season ticket holders of the Phoenix Coyotes NHL team. Needless to say, they are familiar with the team. They’re familiar with the arena, possibly even several of their fellow fans. Which is why it didn’t seem odd to
Tension in the aisles
Doing the weekly shopping isn’t one of my favourite things but, luckily, I can make it more bearable by combining it with my hobby of people watching. One conclusion I have reached through my observations is that couples should probably stop going s

Family drama that can't be avoided
I'm living my dream. I retired from my job of 20 years in Orlando in April to move to Tampa just 2 miles from my folks. I wanted to be a helping hand but before the accident they didn't need me too much, now they do. Mom fell last week at a docto
Challenges and Chores
Seems everything in life has trade offs so one just has to take the bad with the good. Luckily I've been told many times throughout life that I can find good in any bad situation. I like that compliment. I know how lucky I am to still have both
Wish I could turn back the clock..
But I know I can't. I am realistic about Life. But I think it is okay to wish. Yesterday my oldest daughter got married. The legal part of it. The actual wedding is in two months. https://photos.connectingsingles.com/blogs/23/blog46575.jpg
Becoming pregnant......
....should be a joy. Sure, the birds and bees advice some, but more and more, not all, of our folks gave us, mostly did the job. And speaking of parents, isn't that what they call Catholics follwing the rhythm contraceptive methods? But I digress. It
The Pressure Cooker
Stove top pressure cookers have done nothing but terrify me so you couldn't give me one. However the digital counter top ones stole my heart after I saw a friend brag about it on Facebook. Mine is called the InstanntPot or IP for short. You would
There's no such thing as fun for the whole family...
...according to Jerry Seinfeld. In my duties as executor of my folk's estate, I'm learning things, and perhaps being confided in, more these days. Learned of the separation and possible divorce of a close family member, and am saddened greatly. Both
Marriage licenses.....
...Sure, the blood testing, and ruling out of the underaged, or of close cousins, (except in places like US Appalachia), make some sense. But we license just about every other nanny state confiscatory taxation generating activity, except parenthood.
So yesterday was interesting, kind of, maybe..
My friend's mom flew in from Napal last week with a big luggage bag full only of native spices (most of them easily obtainable at any American International type supermarket, but of course those are inferior to the ones she buys back home, even when
Therapy
It's almost been a year now since I semi retired and moved a hundred miles to Tampa where my elderly folks live. I've talked for many years about my intentions to move here in retirement to help them but I never actually considered retireing. T
Terrible News
Having a great family support system makes it fairly easy to deal with what my aging parents are going through. I'm glad I have no need to throw a pity party and can find things to be grateful for. What a jolt I got yesterday when my neighbor calle
Best Gift...
Am thinking these past days...just that, I could not think what must be the BEST GIFT for a son, who worked hard in school, to compensate the hardship of his Mom. My son will graduate in senior high, and got high honours. Passed the scholarship exam
So, according to Archie Bunker, I'm a Heeb, or a Yid
I had my DNA done by 23andMe and the results came as a surprise. I am 46.2% British & Irish, 15.8% French & German, and 18.7% Ashkenazi Jewish. I have found my Maternal birth family but still have no idea who my birth father is or who his family m
Happiness
Not many pictures as of now to post. Exhausted. Relieved. One down, three more to go. Three sisters and a friend. The bride and her maids. Hindu bride in her first saree. Hair. Second saree presented by the groom along with a gold neck
I was going to write a blog....
But the topic is a sensitive one for me and I'm not ready to spill my blood and guts on these pages just yet so here's a little something I whipped up in the meantime. https://photos.connectingsingles.com/blogs/24/blog47150.jpg[/i
After it seemingly has ended........VERY ended.....
how about renewing the relationship? Remarrying/reattaching with the same person? Who hasn't heard of this intriguing life maneuver, and perhaps even considered it for themselves? Spend a little time here and elsewhere on the dating scenes, and up po
You never know
Those that read my blogs may remember that I'm dealing with aging parents. Dad with alzheimers is in a physical therapy rehab, Mom goes three times a week to her physical therapy appointments for her dislocated shoulder and back. Dad is late eighti
Will it ever go away?
I'm not referring to a goiter, a urinary tract infection or herpes flare-up. No, I'm talking about the craving I have for a smoke. I average a couple of cigarettes a week or so and I'm currently about 10 days without one but the craving won't die. Ma
Walking a mile in other's moccasins....
She's perfect, on so many levels. And still pretty, in our age group. We separated over parenting prerogatives, but have become best of friends. Doing some car work for her today, and she watches Bravo while I travel. Other examples of mutual help. B
Stepping on hot coals
I'm disenchanted with America's favorite pastime. No, not baseball. I'm talking about meddling. If it's not Iraq, it's Iran. If it's not Libya, It's Yemen. If it's not Chile, it's Venezuela. And so it goes... I'm thinking of changing my Facebook
Nose in the phones
I got an early Mother's Day surprise from my son and his family as they came up this weekend to see me and the folks. I took us all out to breakfast before going to see Dad in rehab. The family of four sitting at the table next to us was a Mom, D
Wait a minute ! The name of the new baby from Prince Henry & Megan Markle is....Archie ?!?!?
That's not a joke. There may be former English kings, queens, princes & princesses rolling over in their graves right now. They couldn't think of a better name than Archie ? Will he eventually marry an Edith ? and nicknam
One door closes...
another opens. Old AA saying. And it's so often true. Was never as close to my 5 sibs as I admired in other families, such as many Irish ones. Even invited as non family guest to many of the bacchanalian large family reunions of the latter, and had f
if you were born a boy or a girl, what are you now ...
There's some weird stuff happening in UK schools and the Daily Mail has got very overexcited about it. I know it's a long blog. You can skip to the last paragraph. The link is at the bottom of the blog but because it's the Daily Mail, and wants t
Why?
This is a huge pet peeve I have . It's about people who think scarring the crap out of your baby and makeing it scream and cry is some how funny? Well it's Not! Don't you realize the brain is developing and verry fragile in a baby and small child. Y
