My parents both went by their middle names instead of their first names as did most of their siblings. I guess that was a popular thing to do in their generation and even before because my grandparents on both sides did as well. My parents had seven of us kids and never carried on with the...

I met my first wife at a youth group in our local church. Two years later we were married. Ten years we were divorced with two daughters. I met my second wife in a bar on a Saturday night. A few minutes after being there this nice looking lady taps me on my back and says "you're in my chair...

I have been on CPAP for about six years now but not doing well with it at first. My first specialist was pretty much useless. After about two years of frustration I started researching on YouTube and between three different sites I have learned a lot and improved things some. I'm not saying...

I have checked out the walk behind snowblower to make sure it works. I got a ladder out and cleaned out the propane heater in my garage woodworking shop. I just use an air compressor with low pressure. I took the box blade off of the tractor and put the rear mounted snowblower on and checked to...

Grade 9 high school I was in an all male class called Science, Trades and Technology and we all had a crush on our English teacher. She was fresh out of college so quite young. She was tall, blonde, pretty and wore mini skirts. We were all either farm kids or small town kids so a teacher like...
