After over a decade of faithful service my old desktop computer finally died. It simply wouldn’t start. With no computer repair places open my daughter talked me into purchasing a new laptop to replace it. What followed was two days of pure frustration. It was like going from driving an old Model T Ford to flying the Space Shuttle. After my daughter set it up I looked for the old e-mail...

I just thought I would share with y’all something that happened to me one day when I was driving home from work. There was a guy riding his Harley Davidson behind me.

So yesterday I went to the gas station to fill up my bike with my last $20 and found a $20 in the ATM. I don't like taking anything that is not mine, so I turned it in to the cashier. I was a little skeptical that she wouldn't just keep it, but after a very good interaction with her I was yeah she won't take I live about 30 min from said gas station so I told her that I probably...

It wasn't long after the "For Sale" sign went up on our front yard that they started arriving in our mailbox; postcards. Each one asked to provide service for our impending move. As I sorted through the array of cards, I selected three and called the first number. A man answered the phone and stated that he would be happy to come out and give me a free estimate. He explained that he was planning...

I never get to tell my floof story anymore, since she's gone now. But you 5 people will get to read it today. Someone suggested I post here, so we'll see what you guys think.

I see lots of comments about the intelligence of dolphins. I'll share a personal story of how amazingly smart these creatures are. I was on vacation in Cuba a few years back and during an afternoon my family and I went to a dolphin cove where you could have lunch and swim with dolphins. Now my expectations were quite mid level/low for this, I've never been a fan of captive animals so I...

Change

I was walking our new rescue puppy, Sweetie this morning. After we finished we came back inside. As soon as we walked through the door Sweetie grabbed my daughter’s new tennis shoe in her mouth and started prancing proudly down the hall with her new chew toy. I took a moment to laugh before snatching the shoe back and putting Sweetie in her crate with the four chew toys we had already bought...

Today my son aged 11 was on a bike ride with his friends. He had a brief issue with his bike which caused him to lose sight of his mates. He took a wrong turn and got lost in the suburban streets. His moochie watch decided not to work as he tried to call me to help find him, and feeling very overwhelmed with anxiety he approached a man (who was riding his bike with his two kids) and asked him if he...

It makes him so happy to see others smile, give a little acknowledging beep, wave back...

She served them the first time round and when they finished the grandfather walked back and asked how much 2 ice creams were. She advised him it would be $1.40. He sighed and said that’s ok I don’t have enough and the...
