Happy 18th Birthday Jami!

Image
Today is my oldest daughter's 18th birthday (no comments about how old that makes me...I was 11 when she was born). She has moved on with her life and moved out so I really don't know exactly where she is. I miss her. She has not been communicating with us very much. Jami is a child who has and does live by trial and error. If someone explains to her there is another easier way to do something or avoid hardship and heartbreak, she should do this...she would rather do it her way and face the music. Please do not misunderstand me, she is extremely smart. When we lived in Virginia, she tested the top of the state for mathematics and in the upper 5% for science. She plays tennis and bowls very well and if she followed up, she could be playing in tournaments. She is extremely funny and normally carries a good sense of humor about everything. But she is a rebel and a klutz. She has made some decisions that are harder to rebound from than she realizes. She also for some reason can fa...

Enjoyment Every Day of the Week

*** Warning*** Today’s post contains body functions and no duct tape. There is an everyday activity that almost everyone in the world enjoys. No, it is not sleeping. Some of us do not sleep well.

Right! The brain is flooded with sensory overload from the bladder telling you that your time is running out. Your brain is foggy, you feel weak in the knees, you get the shakes, your hand trembles until the big release. When you have to pee really badly, doesn’t it make you uncomfortable? Do you feel as though any air pressure changes close to your bladder would in your mind be ...

I've been named...again

I have been riding this commuter train since the beginning of the year into work. So far, the cost involved versus my old carpool is about the same. Before, every fourth month I would have to pay the $270 in parking per month. Add to this the gas involved in the commute and the parking fee for when the parking pass was left in someone else’s car, and it came down to about $160 per month. Except for December, which ended up costing me about $450 because of the parking pass being in someone else’s car a lot. So, January I started taking the train. I began sitting in a specific spot and entered the social circle. They are a good and very dynamic group of people which includes a deputy, bank executive, IT support people, legal secretary and more. In total, there are about 25 people in this group on my upper level. We communicate and joke with the 40 people on the lower level as well. On Friday evening rides, intense amounts of alcohol are involved. Where am I going with this? Well, tonight...
