How is it possible that any of the local (insert snide descriptive) PUSSIBLY have any fireworks left after last night??? I thought fireworks were illegal-- and not a cop cruiser all night. Practically every 3rd house on my block was bombarding the neighborhood!! Sure, a few were pretty-- but that's not the point. Dad was trying to sleep before the ( Read more... )

A world without wheels-- car's still not on the road-- got wod today that I can have the engines replaced for a grand. That's actually a good deal, as it includes the replacement engine.

Well, short version-- Jackie, moving here from Missouri, was greeted with an unliveable rental property-- No certificate of occupancy, floorboards rotted through, broken windows, etc. Confined to hotel living with 4 pets for ( Read more... )

A year feels like forever when you're 4, because-- well, it's a quarter of your life. By the time you hit 20 it's much less.
