    What/Who were you named after?

    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...

    How did you meet your partner?

    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...

    What’s one truth about life that you think everyone eventually learns?

    But certainly beats the alternative.

    What’s one truth about life that you think everyone eventually learns?

    There are a lot of good people in the world. Sometimes it is just hard to see the forest for the trees.

    Some People Have A Lot Of Nerve, Don't They?

    I have loaned money to family members that I was almost certain that I wouldn't see it back. Not huge amounts, but substantial to me. My wife looked at me funny when I did it and warned me of what I already knew. I told her the way I looked at it was that if my loaning them money meant that they...

    Snow Tires. Winter weather and commutes.

    I have been using All Terrain tires on the last four 4x4 pick up trucks and one 1996 GMC Safari All Wheel Drive van I've had. I've been quite happy with them. Living in rural areas means that our country roads don't get the same kind of attention in bad weather that city roads do so the 4x4...

    Town . City, Village, Rural... where do you prefer to live ?

    I live in a small bungalow on just under an acre lot on a country road about 10 kilometres from the little town I grew up in. It is not as remote as country roads used to be when I was a kid. In about 15 minutes I can be in the small city that I went high school in and in about 20 minutes I can...

    C-Pap machine. to use or not to use

    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...

    What Winter Preparations Are Underway

    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...

    Ever Had a Crush on a Teacher?

    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...
