Little Head/ Big Head May 27, 2023 at 7:47pm I spent most of the day putting a swing set together for my son. Yes, I put a fence up in my backyard so he couldn't take off, which he is prone to do. This has been an expensive, expensive year, but worth it to keep him safe. In case you didn't know, he is sixteen and autistic. Anything to keep him safe, but whatever I do never seems enough because I worry about the next bit of trouble he will get himself into. Worrying is not writing and writing is something I plan on doing more of. I ... [Read more] Make up April 2, 2023 at 9:17am Here is a thought: AI or MI (Machine Learning) will take a dominant role in writing stories someday. I have experienced characters coming alive in stories all the time and that is what keeps me reading and writing stories. Imagine reading cheap books well written in any genre the reader likes. Now, imagine if the reader had control of the story. For example, give me a book a bit more steamy. Or, how about aliens show up? Or, I want to read the book the president is reading right now. Computers w... [Read more] Snow Fleas becoming March 11, 2023 at 8:48am The fencing is supposed to be delivered this Sunday. Yay! Better than July. I have plans with the family to put up the fence on the 22nd of April. Hopefully, that will work out. I have to look into renting an auger for post-hole digging. That is just too many holes to do by hand. My shoulder won't do good with that many holes to dig by hand! I know, I am weak.
I still have snow on the ground. Must be Michigan. The weather is getting warmer and the snow should be melting soon. I know ther... [Read more] BF (Bless Family!) March 7, 2023 at 9:00pm I am getting the fencing to fence in my front yard and boy this is expensive. But, not near as expensive as damage or worse to my boy who is an escape artist. Don't want a repeat of what happened last year.
So, I will have to call Miss Dig to get the lines marked. Shouldn't take too long, I don't think. Family is going to help. Bless family!... [Read more] vid January 16, 2023 at 7:34pm https://youtu.be/3tz4EWnLOwg

... [Read more] Opposite of Frozen January 7, 2023 at 9:37am So I said to the wife the audiobook I was listening to was getting heated. Well, she thought I was talking about violence. Nope. Not that. I tried explaining to her and she didn't agree at all. Maybe I am wrong but violence was not on my mind at all. Hmmmm. I am reminded somewhat of Olaf's puddles...... [Read more] god-mode December 30, 2022 at 8:37pm I wrote a short dialogue just the other day. Yay, me! I looked to my shelf and mentioned the author and book I saw there in the writing. I also managed a couple of reviews recently. Maybe not my best reviews but I don't think they were too bad. Good for me, anyway. A new year is nearly upon us. I hope to do better with writing then. Anyway, here is a link to my most recent writing:
Hope you enjoy. ... [Read more] Chocolate, don't touch December 10, 2022 at 12:47pm My workplace put on a Santa's Workshop for special needs kids and my boy loved it. The school took him on a school trip and he couldn't stop bouncing around and looking at everything.
On another note, I just had an argument with my wife about ownership of certain chocolaty foods in the cupboard. It even got a bit heated, so to speak. I ended it with a never mind, I was just practicing for my sex change. Good thing she loves me and didn't end me! LOL... [Read more] When government succeeds December 3, 2022 at 8:48am Would you think it good for the workers within a company to choose who leads the same company? I don't believe this is usually how this works or a good thing necessarily. It could work if we supply the workers with the tools needed to make educated decisions. Even so, the possibility of sabotage is overwhelming, thus, we create the overwatch committee. Since cloning and brainwashing are still a great expense, we resort to media control to influence the masses(Workers). Things get messy there... [Read more] Better burgers November 6, 2022 at 6:27pm Working on putting flooring in my bedroom. I just finished the last piece in there and boy was that a project. Wish robots could do that job! Someday. LOL
I am going to have a great end of the year, but only because I choose to make it so. It will be great! Next year will be spilled into with that idea in mind, I promise!
Come on, everybody! Let's make the world, our world, a better place a tiny step at a time. We can do it!... [Read more] Wasting not September 30, 2022 at 7:24pm I am not ready for snow. Okay, it hasn't snowed yet but we have freeze warnings going on in the morning time. That means snow is coming on soon. I am not ready! Wish I had more time. Well, actually, I wish I could manage my time better. That is it. I have things to do.... [Read more] Just another day like no other September 25, 2022 at 11:43am We took Jonah to church this morning. Lots of people were happy to see him. What a miracle! Course, he had some bad gas throughout the service that left some gagging. LOL It was one of those money sermons that let people know we are in need of money, but people come first, of course.
After, Jonah wanted to swing on the swing but it was raining and he was still healing from his ordeal. It is one of those dreary days today. Blackish clouds overhead threatening to storm. Gas prices went up 17 c... [Read more] May you never know September 21, 2022 at 4:03pm Ya, I just got back from the hospital after having gone by helicopter with my son in the bed. (We flew out from the local hospital to a larger hospital, which was about a thirty minute flight) You see, he got hit by a truck, thankfully a glancing blow as it swerved to miss him. It is believed the mirror clipped him. That road is a 55-mile-per-hour speed limit, so breaking and quick thinking saved his life. What was he doing on the road? I don't know what he was thinking. He happens to be aut... [Read more] RIP August 18, 2022 at 5:26am This is the blog I never want to write. In this blog, I tell of the passing of my Mother, my dear, sweet Mother. A week ago, she fell down some stairs at my sister's house and hit her head, cracked her neck, and bruised her arm and hip quite severely. She was taken to the hospital and stayed there until 8/16/2022 when she passed.
The Doctor (after a week) discussed putting in a breathing tube and feeding tube and re-visiting her in a year. She wouldn't want that and had said as much i... [Read more] Freedom! July 23, 2022 at 6:03pm Just finished the two day yard sale to get rid of some stuff. We ended it by sending a bunch of stuff to Yada Yada, but they were full up, we we headed out to good will. None of it trash, just not stuff we want to deal with any longer. Downsizing is good. I live in a small house in the woods and it is time to get rid of stuff.
So, we had the yard sale in town and someone had a utv (electric! awesome!) and took my boy for a ride. Well, he jumps off during the ride and runs into a construction ... [Read more] exPLOiTable lanGuAGE July 5, 2022 at 11:25am Plot Gage: exPLOiTable lanGuAGE
Ok. This is me making a note of something I wrote that made me wonder what possessed me to write this. At the same time, go my possessor!
I have been terrible at writing. Period. I think about it all the time. I write novels in my imagination even, but it doesn't really count. I get that. I think the point I need to act on is 'come up with a plan and write'. Write, write, write. Hello, world!
So, I lost my streak in Microsoft Rewards like thre... [Read more] Hello May 29, 2022 at 6:39am Memorial Day tomorrow. Not a happy day, truly. Today, though, my oldest son is getting his graduation party. He isn't actually getting his diploma because is opted into a five-year High School program where he goes to college in his senior year and one year after and gets his associate's degree along with his diploma. Yay!
Well, I have to keep cleaning and getting ready for church before the party. We rented a local restaurant for our party. It happens to be owned by my Wife's cou... [Read more] Public Servants on track! May 7, 2022 at 9:01am Yesterday, my 15-year-old had a track and field day at his school. It was a special needs event and there were probably 20 -30 police officers and close to the same fire department volunteers there to help with the event. That was awesome! So, my boy takes the hand of one of the officers and leads him all around the place. He also won a couple of first-place medals! He didn't want to get out of the fire truck when they let him inside it. I was worried I was going to have to crawl inside and ... [Read more] One equals one better April 26, 2022 at 7:05pm I laugh when it is not appropriate to cry. Those were my thoughts.
Things compound, sometimes. I was taking food garbage to the compost pit and my pants were falling down and my greasy hands from the food couldn't pull them back up properly. I set something down and gravity pulled it to a lower position...laughable circumstances all, but I wanted to cry. The wife asked me why I was laughing and I told her. Of course, that was how her morning was also...... [Read more] Written styx April 22, 2022 at 7:36pm Today is Friday and my workday is over. Today, I wrote a plan for writing a Novel with several steps from Planning and writing to the final step- Forgetting. WHat? Where did that come from?... [Read more] Eggs! April 17, 2022 at 4:36pm Easter! I am currently listening to a book called the Forge of Destiny. It was a free book. Enjoyable, though, even though filled with unfamiliar names that make it confusing at times.
We did a small Easter Egg hunt after church today. It was fun. We made sure to count all the eggs so we wouldn't find them a year from now. All accounted for. Yay!
I did talk to my Mother today on the phone for like an hour. She had something of a cold. Yuck. It was still good to talk to her. Mothers are... [Read more] Doctor Who April 14, 2022 at 7:57pm Watched the end of season 4 of Doctor Who and the doctor is dying and I am crying and my wife is like, "Die already!" My how the world has changed...... [Read more] Have a great day! April 14, 2022 at 4:36am Blustery, windy day today. I think it would be a great day to take off work! But no, I will be off to work soon. Course, if it was a nice day it would be a great day to take off work. I keep telling myself to make it fun at work and I do a fair job doing so, but sometimes I need reminding. Smile and remember the better times to come! Now, I am off. Have a great day!... [Read more] Like 'Like' button April 12, 2022 at 8:56pm There is a certain drug the mind produces in the body when someone hits the like button. I miss that natural drug. Who feels the same? But it is not the same when I hit my own like button. Not the same at all, I've tried...... [Read more] Songsleep April 9, 2022 at 5:06am I had a dream last night that I was writing a poem and I remember finishing it and it was a really good poem. I wish I could have remembered it! That is how it goes. It isn't the end result that matters so much as being able to put in the effort...

Just a note...... [Read more] This year did it... January 3, 2022 at 8:19am Re-posting a question I responded to because I thought I had a funny answer. Bragging rights!
Which year did it?
This year did it. This year brings the Storm Troopers who are not only masked against the viruses raging across the planet but also are protected from zombie bite marks, though not, perhaps, proof against zombie pile-ups.

Whatever I may feel at any moment, I will get over it and not get stuck in it. I choose not to drag anyone down if I can help it. Most importantly to me and my family, I will go into the New Year Writing!
Happy New Year all!... [Read more] Boo October 22, 2021 at 9:24pm Camp Sauble haunted prison tonight. Clowns! Why did it have to be clowns?... [Read more] Boo October 22, 2021 at 9:24pm Camp Sauble haunted prison tonight. Clowns! Why did it have to be clowns?... [Read more] The beginning October 3, 2021 at 1:22pm I told my wife she didn't have any patience when I repeat myself. She said, "Uh, huh."
Then I said, "Then how is it you keep repeating yourself when yelling at me?"
Oops. wrong thing to say. Good thing she wasn't really mad. So, this is one more example of a time where I made it out alive when I should have kept my mouth shut. The end.... [Read more] Chips for our salvation. September 5, 2021 at 11:18am I wanted to make note today that at church where we practice communion by dipping the wafer into the wine, my son exclaimed he wanted to 'dip the chip' which was very humorous to us. Still laughing. So the body and blood becomes chip and dip. LOL... [Read more] Did you see what Candy looks like? August 8, 2021 at 10:42am "That which imbibes must leak," he told the girls once he got out of the ocean.
Sally twisted her face and turned to Candy. "Do you think he..."
"Yep. I'm not going back in there!"... [Read more] RIP Benny, the moth. June 6, 2021 at 10:20am A Moth was found trapped in a cup and left on the stove this morning. There was writing on the cup, "RIP Benny". There was also a note saying he (my sixteen-year-old boy) found it in his room, and he was unable to kill it, and could not let it go because it would just come back into the house.
Of course, his mother sees the cup and immediately lifts the cup up to look at it, which releases the moth. Obviously, she did not read the note. Though, yelling at me to rescue her, I g... [Read more] гремлин (copied from text and think it means gremlin) May 22, 2021 at 8:06am And it is morning time. I spent the night hot, then cold, going back and forth. Too hot under the blankets, too cold without. I go to make my cereal and the milk is frozen solid, so I make eggs. Every egg breaks as I cook them, then they all taste terrible. My morning will get better, I hope. Still, I laugh at my seemingly misfortunate day. But, I think it may have spread a bit, because my wife just informed me she just made a cup of coffee without putting her cup in and what a mess. I can laugh... [Read more] Over hill, over there March 23, 2021 at 8:36pm Well, I got my first covid shot and I am only half zombie. Yes, I am back to work after a weekend of rest. Covid shots may not be for everyone, but I did claim mine.
Got a one-handed chain saw yesterday. I put it to work today cutting bunches of scrub trees and small branches and such. I wasn't sure, but now I am: it was worth it! Cleaning up the yard some, yay!
Getting my oldest his license tomorrow. Not completely ecstatic about it, but it has to be done.... [Read more] Text or texts February 28, 2021 at 6:01pm A conversation I texted to my Mother last night:

Me: Murderer!

What if, there were no such things as books except maybe a sort of footnote in some museum? Maybe, in the future, there might be the occasional eccentric individual who will stil read books, but there may be many who might never read a book; they won't need to read books. Sight can be converted to images and those become stories. No matter how it happens, novel writing may soon be a thing of the past. How is that for a kick in the pants?
A small... [Read more] social implants for the masses June 8, 2020 at 8:44pm The news is very dark of late, I don't like it. Enough said of that. However, not all the news is dark. Think about Elon Musk and his accomplishments for a bit. He is launching up to 40,000 satellites to create a more structured internet across the globe. More importantly, he is in the process of putting in a neural link which will be hard wired directly to the brain! How cool is that? Lots of conditions will be able to be fixed with that. Of course, this is not a new idea. Actually, we have... [Read more] The Happy C's May 20, 2020 at 8:39pm Going into work this morning, the security guard held the temperature gun up to my forehead. I looked at him and said, "Oh, God. I hope that thing is loaded!" Yep. And I still had to go to work.
Work has been crazy of late. Mandatory overtime! I am dragging something fierce. I think I forgot how to write, and this has been bothering me something bad. I haven't been having as much fun here as I used to. Certain people have not been on as much so I am getting bummed about that. Is... [Read more] Goodnight May 17, 2020 at 8:27am My boss calls me at work and I pop him the question: why is it you always tell me good morning, but you never tell me goodnight??... [Read more] Feeding the birds April 23, 2020 at 3:00pm Okay, for the first time ever, my youngest took a cup of bird food and walked around to the front of my house, by himself, and poured the seed into the bird feeder. This is huge! For him to do something without someone holding onto his hand, literally, is astounding! This is like a door that has been opened and he is stepping into maturity.
What is with the snow lately? I thought we were into spring, but I guess I was wrong. Oh, well.
... [Read more] In the loom April 19, 2020 at 7:13pm I am tired of making face masks already. I suppose they need to be done, I just don't like to 'have' to make them. Poor me. Not really, I just like saying it. Truth is, my wife really needs the help and I jumped in and did what I could. Can, really. We are still making them. I do wish we didn't have to have them.
I realized I hadn't written anything in my blog in a while and thought I should make some sort of effort to keep something in here that is recent. I watched th... [Read more] Support mode April 5, 2020 at 9:00am So my wife started making face masks for family and friends and took a few orders to sell. Can't just give everything away since this is a way to make a living. Of course, masks are unusual. She normally makes doll clothes, see? She did donate several yards of fabric and 25 yards of elastic banding to some people making masks also. We had to get a bit creative by adding a 3" piece of 14-2 wire to bend around the nose. There is a piece of non-woven fabric meshed in between two knit fabric... [Read more] Living your own life means helping others March 16, 2020 at 5:12pm Ever feel like you have lost a friend when people you have interacted with on WDC haven't been active in a really long time? I sometimes wonder if this makes us hesitate to make new friends, then, I think: NO WAY! Kindness belongs to anybody strong enough to give it.
I arrived home from work today, Day 1 of no school because of the C. Virus, and had groceries to bring in after stopping at Walmart's Pickup service, which rocks, by the way! Did you know you could get 10 dollars for your... [Read more] It is so hard to blog March 12, 2020 at 8:12pm Had my eyes dilated today. It is still hard to see, but my eyes are not any worse than they were a year ago. Yay!
I recently purchased the 33 strategies of War. Just started and the author makes a great case for conflict, even outright war. Interesting. Not saying this is right, just so long as it is believable. It seems, it is desirable to have enemies. Maybe I am mistaken. Conflict builds character, after all!
How can I blog without mentioning the coronavirus? People are buying up toil... [Read more] Hello February 23, 2020 at 10:30am Three days after my last post, I was in a car accident. It was Halloween, and it was just starting to snow, when a truck crosses two lanes coming from the other direction and smashes into us nearly head on. Later, I found out this driver had been driving reckless which was witnessed by someone I work with before the accident even happened. I heard he did get a ticket for reckless driving. Anyway, my wife was stuck in the car for an our and a half and it took the jaws of life to get her out. I sw... [Read more] Camp Songs October 27, 2019 at 6:50pm I took my boy to camp Sauble haunted prison last night. We stood in line for an hour and a half in the rain before we got to go inside. It was wonderfully done, if I may say so myself. Great show! It was a benefit fund raiser for the fire department and they had a great turn out. Bravo! One spot in the run where I didn't do so good was the light funnel that spun and made me so dizzy that I had to close my eyes to go through it. It was terrible! There was a lot of enthusiasm going on t... [Read more] Giant Pumpkins October 13, 2019 at 7:44pm Okay, I just got back from Johnson's Giant Pumpkins LLC . What a cool place! I went there for the donuts. They make them onsite right in front of you. How cool is that? Of course, there is a lot to look at. And animals of all sorts there. We had a blast. But, for now, I am off to bed. I am tired, so tired...... [Read more] In the cards October 12, 2019 at 5:55am Ever have a character that keeps surprising you? I was like, uhm, you weren't supposed to be the main character. Get back in you place. Stubborn and doesn't listen. I suppose if I had better control of my planning? Surprise! Pantser is what I am, I think. Some planning is required, of course, but I leave room for the unplanned.
I recently bought this Tarot card program for the PS4 for five bucks. It does the same thing as a physical deck would without actually having to shuffle... [Read more] |
