My oldest has turned 18 today

Posted 01-06-2014 at 08:27 PM by grumptacular

My little girl is getting all grown up! She is an amazing young lady. She has been been doing what she needs to in order to finish school, but she hates it! At this point she has no plans for college, and I guess that is ok. I am hoping in the next couple years she will come to her senses and maximize her potential.

Her original plan was to go in to the military, which I though was a great plan! Unfortunately, that didn't work out for her. When her mom passed away, I put her...

Doing the right thing

Posted 01-06-2014 at 09:40 AM by grumptacular

A poster came on with an issue a few days ago. From her perspective, she probably knew what the right thing was, but put it out on the boards to likely gain validation for what she really wanted. What she wanted wasn't wrong per say, but relationships are difficult and complicated. After three pages of posts, she listened to what everyone had to say and she did the most sensible thing. I hope she gave herself some kudos, she earned it.

Sometimes doing the right thing is tough....

Let's get baked!!

And just like that I've got a new job. Someone I've known for decades lives in Cincinnati Ohio. They are willing to open a bakery if I agree to run it. Crazy. Offered profit sharing and moving expenses! I told her I have to sell my houses down here first but I should be able to relocate by end of summer.

I know nothing about baking! Not that it matters. She just needs someone to run the operations and that is something, with my experience, that shouldn't be a problem. She...

Playoffs? Playoffs?

Wow! What a crazy game!! Chiefs choke a huge lead, despite Luck of the Colts throwing 3 interceptions!

Saints and Eagles: Another down to the wire game!! Granted that wasn't the outcome I was hoping for, but none the less, fierce competition!

Bengals and Chargers, what a shame. I thought Bengals would have brought more game. Dalton had three turn overs which gave great field position for a lack luster Charger offense.

Whhhooooooooo!! Packer/49ers:...

Ohh, Baby it's cold out there

I wish I had a camera. I likely wouldn't carry it, since it would most certainly get broken, but there are times when I come across something that is really photogenic. I have an aquarium in my yard that has some water plants in it. This morning the water has frozen solid and the crystals against the glass look beautiful. A few weeks ago I had at least a hundred little finches that settled on a pu88y willow in my yard. They made a crazy musical racket as well, but it still would have been a...
