I've been with wife for 25 years...........always slept on right in 4 different houses, no matter the set up of the bedroom.  Wonder if there is a rhyme or reason?

2008 Lincoln MKX - 110K miles Last November while driving to work, the radio turned off and on.  Was off for about 5 seconds (I actually thought the station went off air, but the radio did not show a channel/time/etc).  Did not happen again until 2 weeks later.  Did it again multiple times, and...

Son is in college.  He has no income, and we've always claimed him, and plan to this year also.  Last year all his savings bonds that his grandparents bought him were cashed in by him for a vacation and some HS graduation presents to himself.  He got a 1099-Int this year for the interest on the...

Need a little help.  Searched the net and the way that I thought would work probably won't with Windows 10. Have a lot of personal pics on one laptop that I want to transfer to another. Thought I could buy a data transfer cable, and copy and paste, but I don't think that is an option any...

Just got text from 7th grade son.  Last game of the season has been cancelled tonight due to "wet" field.  We've had less than an inch of rain since Saturday.  Would the field be muddy?  Yes, but wouldn't the kids love it? I'm like WTF?  I grew up in Iowa and wife is from Nebraska, and we are...

Parents and Kids..........we just learned of the news of the passing of a dear friends 18YO son in a car accident.  He was going on to play college baseball at TCU. I coached him at University LL, and Dylan (my son) played all-stars/summer ball with him. His parents are wonderful people. Our...

50 year old w/ 2 boys. 1 in college and 1 starting 7th grade.   Last night at dinner we were all discussing how much we go out to eat, and it got me and the wife thinking..........where have we spent the most $ on food/drink? We came up with the following: Buffalo Wild Wings (there used to be...

We've got 6+ inches of rain up here in north Texas since Saturday night. Some areas of Houston have gotten 14+ in the last 24 hours, and the storms are still training over the same area.  Looks like rain for the next 24 more hours or so. Basically the city is shut down.  Stay safe everyone...

Anyone have Sprint cell service and travel to Canada.  Son will be going there for 2 months this summer (and we all will be going up there for a week or so). They have Sprint Open World (free calls/text and pay for increased data) and Sprint Global Roaming (more data/free text but calls are...

So a little back story. Father-in-law w/ no previous heart issues (65, recently retired, moderate exercise for his age, not best eater, slightly overweight-pot belly, slightly high BP) was in Minnesota for a grandkids soccer tournament.  Started having chest pains.  Mother in law says its...

Driving to work yesterday (4th day of rain I might add) and all of a sudden the radio just turns off.  Then about 5 seconds later all the dash warning indicators flash on and off...........then the radio comes back on.  Does not happen the rest of the trip to work (45 minutes) or on the drive...

Wife and I were driving in to work today and a Beatles song came on and I asked her (a big Beatles fan) who (if you had to) could be replaced and who couldn't. Obviously the lines would be set on Paul vs. John and Ringo vs. George, but then I got to thinking about other popular bands such as...

Background is that I drive 80 miles/day round trip to work, and I need to replace the 2007 Murano w/ 200K miles as it is on it's last legs. Son drives a 2010 Lincoln MKX at college, so it would be a prefect hand me down to me as all I need is a ride to/from work (and I can channel my inner...

So we go 3+ years with 50% less rain than normal and every lake is down 3-5 feet. In May we get 24+ inches of rain, and it rains for 33/39 days in late April through early June and the lakes fill back up. Then it freaking stops raining, and we only get 2+ inches from...

So me and the 12 year old have been watching the playoffs for the last week (RIP Rangers) and I've noticed the abundance of Viagra commercials, but he has not said a word.................and then about 5 minutes ago I get this: "What the heck would you do with a boner for 4 hours, I'd call a...

So I just turned 50 and went in for a physical that included a blood work up. I'm a pretty healthy guy. 5' 11" 175 lbs. Lead a pretty active lifestyle and eat pretty healthy with the occasional burger / wings / beer / nacho / etc. Doctor freaked me out last Friday by leaving a message on our...

So we live in a new subdivision of about 40 houses at the end of a long winding road. Development is about 8-10 years old and about half filled, and lots are starting to move again. We noticed several weeks ago in the subdivision that leads to ours that utility companies were flagging and...

Twister.............and may I add, back in the day wasn't a Helen Hunt fan, but now that I'm a pushing 50, not bad at all.
