Once upon a time, well, actually in October of 2003 I needed a car. I had recently quit working and economy was my main concern, so we bought a Neon that had been leased or used, possibly by a Chrysler employee. The car had about 10,000 miles, and standard options for an economy car. Not …

Cat boxes
Unpleasant subject–well in this case, funny. If you own cats, you will eventually have a litter box. In the good old days, we lived in a rural environment and it was safe to let our cats outside. Here in the suburbs, we won’t let any of our cats out. Traffic is only one reason. One …

Disclaimer or Correction
My grandson says I should have told him he did a bad job and not posted this. But, he did a good job, the machine was set wrong. I saw him carefully vacuum under everything and was puzzled when I saw the result. Investigation revealed that it wasn’t him, it was the machine, which I …

Answer this–
How can a large, strong almost 16 year old grandson run the vacuum, and not remove any dirt from the floor. This is a highly efficient, very nice vacuum that I splurged on, not some old pile of junk. Are your ready for the answer? I discovered this, when I used it the next day. …

OK — Whatever
I usually don’t write anything on weekends, but I couldn’t resist this. When I quit working a few years ago, I intended to spend most of my free time on genealogy. And, for the most part, for about 3 years I kept up pretty well. But, this past year a lot of my time has …

Wow, Weird Weather
In the past week, we have really had it. Stuff has been falling from the sky, snow, rain, ice, sleet, a little of everything. The GD’s were here for a couple of days, but the older wasn’t feeling good, so I took them home. Thank goodness, the roads and the sky were clear that day. …
