Happy Birthday to my LJ friends: Magnolia 40 and Brithintomyhnds. Hope that today is full of wonder and happiness to you both.

Last night after snuggling into bed with my lovely wife, I was just dozing off when the phone rings. Now, I would have let the machine answer it but my wife immediately thinks that someone has died and answers. It's my stepson's girlfriend's father. He wants to know why Mike (stepson) is throwing his daughter out of their motel room. Huh? He ( Read more... )

Since I've posted anything. Actually, my life has slowed down a bit and things are getting themselves under control a little bit better. Drug addict children are now through the worst part of withdraw and other than their lack of possessions and money are doing fine. Complaining about their lot but what do they expect? Other son is out of jail ( Read more... )

I admit I'm way behind on reading everyone's posts this past week. I miss seeing what you all are up to, but I have had my hands full. On Friday the 11th, one of my contractors had a hazardous material released into the atmosphere and I have been scrambling to correct the situation all week.

I want to take this time to wish all my LJ friends a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I hope the up coming year is the best year you have ever had and all your dreams come true.

So dinner will be a little later than planned due the having to thaw the bird. Happy birthday to creamsicklesky. I ( Read more... )

Considered grand larceny because it was over $200 worth of stuff, including a weed wacker!!??!!?? His wallet with one dollar in it has been at my house for a week. His friend called me while I was at work to ( Read more... )

Trip to Carolina was good. Got real sore and tired from the hiking in the mountains. Didn't realize how tough it would be going up the mountain. I need more exercise. Stepson just got a new job with Verizon. He has a seven week training program then starts part time. I told him he can then get another job to fill in all the spare time he will ( Read more... )
