There are times in a person’s life that justifies sticking up for things morally and right, such as Constitutional Rights, abolishing racism (or racist ways), and the need to NOT want to drink left over orange juice.
It all started over a bowl of oatmeal on a cool Monday morning. Margaret wanted something to drink to [...]

Bit of a back story first.
Margaret and I slept in a bit this morning and got up, because the dog barked; which meant he really had to potty. So off we went on our morning stroll. It was nice. During the walk we decided to give the dog a bath (at home), because last night [...]

Here’s the set up: 2 meals are presented to you. The first meal is a real mess, but smells good (think casserole). The second meal looks like the finest of what cuisine has to offer and smells good.

Margaret is so good to me, she made me a home made card. It’s fantabulous. I would’ve posted a picture of it, but it’s on the alarm clock and I can’t move it.

So today started off without a hitch, Margaret got up, made me coffee, cleaned the stove top, and then woke me up. It was very nice. I got in the kitchen and looked at the stove top and she said, “Well, I hope I cleaned it as good as you want it to be, so [...]

When I got home tonight Margaret surprised me with a little dish that our neighbors (Jan & Dave) made. It seemed Mexican-ish or I guess maybe Spanish in nature, but anyway this is what went into it:
It was a blackened green chili pepper placed upon a tortilla, topped with egg and cheese. I put our [...]

So Margaret and I decided to make home made chicken fried steak. I purchased bottom round steaks that were already tenderized and thought that would’ve been enough for the toughness and boy was I wrong. The cooking process and yadda yadda was easy. It was the eating part that took the enjoyment out of eating [...]

Since my last hard drive mishap (which was my fault), I’m stuck ripping all my CD’s again to the hard drive (for the 3rd time). This task really sucks, but in the mean time I’m able to find old gems that I’ve hung on to. I’ve found an old Mudvayne CD that was pretty cool, [...]
