I fell for a beautiful woman, and it worked out, but it didn't. There was always some guy chasing her, and once in a while she'd let them catch her. It wasn't my best decision. Now she's old, and thanks to hard drinking and chain smoking, she looks 15 years older than she is. If I had it all to...

I just throw them away since all my socks are exactly alike. That reminds me, it's time to order socks.

I know a few people who are millionaires and every one of them will work from can-see to can't-see plus a little more. A good work ethic, good decisions, ambition and luck coupled with a "won't quit" attitude seems to be the simplest path to success.

I don't blame the rich at all. They don't have a bigger piece of the pie, most of them made their own pie. Wealth is not finite. I'm fairly poor, but it's the not the fault of anybody but me. I could have made better life choices, moved out of my comfort zone and made a lot more money someplace...

They told me I'd probably have to get some readers, and they were right. I probably won't get any until I get the other eye done, but I have some safety glasses here that are 1.5 that seem to work pretty well. On the way to work (In the dark) I saw a herd of deer on both sides of the road long...

Yup, the sitting up is the Topic lens. I'm going to have a week to catch up on sleep before I do it again.

Eyes that is. Got the cataract surgery on my right eye as well as a Toric lens. So far so good, and the procedure wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. For the first week, I have to sleep in the recliner to keep my head at a 45° or so angle. also have to wear an eye shield when I sleep. They...

We still have 3 fires burning, but I think mostly contained. Between the Morrill fire, the Cottonwood and Road 203 fires, they are saying 807,024 acres burned or 1260 Square miles. If we don't get some rain soon, the Sandhills will be a desert.

I'm almost ashamed to admit that I've become almost dependent on mine. I use it for a phone and camera of course, but I also have my grocery list, Microsoft's authenticator app which I use for work. I have my banking app, solitaire, Facebook, Music, YouTube, I read books on it sometimes, use it...

I enjoyed her posts. RIP Radish Rose

This kind of gets me to thinking, if we lost communication with loved ones, it would be a worry. Maybe I need to come up with a plan to meet up at a certain place, or at least leave a message so we'd know the rest were OK. I live so far out of town we have to pipe in sunlight, and it's a good...

Best "Bunker" movie Blast from the Past (film) - Wikipedia

I don't have a bunker, but I do have enough ammo to hold them off for a while. They might get my stuff, but it won't come cheap.

I am planning on putting a battery backup or a power station next to my furnace on a solar charger. I can switch from the grid to backup, and it should buy me a day or two in bad weather. Otherwise, I have a wood stove in the garage. That's for the house in town. Out here on the farm, my old...

I never considered 10 lbs as heavy until now, so maybe next time I go to town I'll pick up some 5 pounders.
