I had 2 extreme back surgeries during 2025. First surgery was over $300,000, which includes the surgeon’s fees. Second second surgery, I was under anesthesia longer, about 4 1/2 hours the final costs were just shy of $500,000. I don’t know how they justify these costs. I don’t pay anything...

Hey, you’re still alive. That means you have done some things right. Don’t sweat the small stuff and only concern yourself with the things you can control. Each day is a Blessing. Like the adage goes, “Live each day to the fullest.” Or, “Live each day like it’s your last day.”

My dad used to call the Westerns “$hitkickers.” I watch a little TV, but I enjoy the old Westerns, Family Affair, Green Acres, Barnaby Jones, Mannix, Cannon, mainly the old shows I watched while growing up, which my wife tells me I need to do.

I don’t have an exact number because I never kept track, but I can imagine that in my 37 years as a state trooper, I had arrested between 150-200 DUI’s. That number includes any arrests made at checkpoints. My highest number was 3.1. I kept wondering how the man was even able to start his...

I had a single engine plane that I bought at a very good price. I couldn’t keep it at my home because of the zoning ordinances and also the covenant that went along with the purchase of the home by the developer. I had to keep it outside at the airport. When a friend of mine found out about...

A lot of crimes go unreported. Some women won’t report a rape because it embarrasses her and she was warned by the rapist not to call the police or he would be back or maybe even he would kill her or her family. One rape victim that I interviewed told me she “wasn’t” going to report it because...

Evidently, you didn’t read the whole post after I edited it in Post #9.

Working as a State Trooper, I had many dangerous situations. Just standing by the driver’s side window while speaking with the driver is dangerous. A lot of Troopers and Officers have been killed while performing their duty. Responding to domestic situations is very dangerous. There were 3...

Going to 74 degrees today here in my part of Florida. Hallelujah!! I feel younger than I am being able to go outside and do things that I couldn’t do up north.

Sure, I always allow females to go first, or open or hold a door for them. If I could help in any other way, I generally did help. As a state trooper, I also changed a lot of tires for females that had a flat on the Turnpike or Interstate or on any state road. It was all part of the job. I...

I don’t think of religion as a commodity, but more as a structured framework of beliefs, practices and values.

Keep in mind that if anyone sees a power line lying on a roadway, regardless if it’s cement or asphalt, stay in your vehicle. Your rubber tires should give you enough protection from being electrocuted. Be sure to call 911 or the local electric company and report the down wire. Don’t run over...

Sorry to hear this bad news. I don’t get the waiting part. I thought if it was cancer, the sooner they caught it, the better chance they had of treating it. I hope everything works out for Ron.

I sleep like a baby. I wake up crying every few hours and want fed. Really, I sleep well, but there are times when the bad dreams make an appearance. Then it becomes a long night lying in bed awake for hours until daylight.

You did the right thing by owning the stray bullet. I’m glad the stray bullet didn’t find a human target.
