I know that most people aren't wild about fruitcake cookies, but my mother used to make them around Christmas every year. These were fresh homemade cookies! Not just home baked like some people do with

I've been an electrician in the St Louis area for a few years now and have never had difficulty getting parts that I needed until recently. The company that I work for does quite a bit of business with

I went to a customer's house yesterday. Apparently they had lost power to their detached garage. After checking the panel and making sure there was power leaving the house, I tried to open the conduit

So I decided that I've been spending way too much time on my phone. Yesterday I got a 1 year subscription to Fender Guitar's website to help motivate me to learn to play. I started pretty much from the

As I sat in the cafe sipping coffee, I noticed a guy over in the corner with a finger jammed into his ear up to about the second knuckle. It looked like he was mining for ear wax. The nugget he pulled

I make it a point to get fact checked by Facebook as often as I can. A couple of weeks ago they throttled me. I could read stuff but couldn't post or reply. I've had several things marked as "false"

16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Gammy and I spent yesterday with our younger

As I sit here every Sunday sipping coffee, I have to wonder what fresh hell awaits. Will there be more riots? Will Karen raise her ugly head in the places where I have to do business? Will I have to hang

Don’t befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people, or you will learn to be like them and endanger your soul. Proverbs 22:24‭-‬25 NLT We all know at least one - a man, a woman, a boy, a

Sometimes you get a good report from a customer. Those are the things to hold on to.

I work in quite a few affluent communities around St. Louis. One thing that the residents of these communities seem to have in common is that nobody does their own yard work unless it's their thing. They

It is time to start archiving. Actually, It's well past time to do that, but you can still start. With the MSM denying or down playing riots, arson, thievery, etc., we may at some point have to pull out

I have recently taken up painting - and by recently, I mean yesterday. My granddaughters probably would have done better. They're 7 and 5 and are quite artistic. I can draw but am terribly of practice.

It's getting late - and I ain't talking about the clock on the wall. I have to wonder how much time we actually have left before the other shoe drops. Many - I wouldn't say most - among our population

Until recently he'd never taken the time to watch it snow. There was always something to be done. There were always fires to be put out. Then the EMP happened. Now there was time for whatever he wanted

After a week off, I was obliged to return to work today. Gammy and I went on a vacation to see our older daughter in Texas. The drive was long and tedious - especially the drive trough Texas. Why is there

Gammy and I have a daughter in central Texas and we've been coming out to see her the last few years in October. I'm not quite sure what we were expecting to find when we got here. Part of us knew that

I can see the young girls sharpening their knives. This was a skill that they had acquired in the last few days. It would be hard for them to survive in the wilderness without a sharp knife. Some were

"I figure that belongs to old man Sams. You know anybody else that uses a McCulloch chainsaw?" The deputy shook his head and said, "Nobody I can think of right off hand." Sams was a

"Whatever it was, it run off behind the bush over yonder." People in these parts were not very particular with their grammar. They didn't much take to "schoolin'." "Like I done
