Michigan After living in our house for almost 30 years, we recently (November) had the opportunity to buy my parents house, on a lake. One of the big benefits (or so we thought) of buying my parents house was that the taxes wouldn't get uncapped. They've been in their house for almost 20...

I'll be in San Diego for training Sept 12-16th. Never been there or to California. I guess it's pretty intensive training/team building on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. All day, into the night, no phones, no outside contact, save for emergencies. I'm done Friday afternoon and fly out first...

So I was in Rosemont, IL this past weekend for a softball coaches convention.. As we were pulling into the hotel, it was apparent that some other type of convention was going on.  We saw a ton of people dressed up in animal costumes, walking around.  After a little google research, there was a...

My oldest daughter (20 years old) wanted to teach/volunteer at the Rift Valley Children's Village after watching a special on 60 Minutes.   She can't go alone because she's under 21, so I'm going with her. We'll be spending the first 3-weeks of May there. I did a search on "Tanzania" and it...

Spinoff of the thread on what role killed that person's acting career.. I was thinking of David Hasselhoff and was trying to remember his "Baywatch" name..  Then I was thinking of other actors/actresses and how I immediately thought of their bigger/biggest role's name before their real name. ...

Here's the story.. My mom was adopted and is now agreeing to the idea of finding her biological parents. My siblings and I have been bugging her for years to pursue it but she's never been on board with the idea. Her adopted parents (my grandparents) are both deceased.  I'm assuming her...

No Jack Bauer, no good? Anybody watching?

I was outside yesterday riding around on the tractor, sucking up leaves and just thinking of different things.  I thought about my 20 year wedding anniversary coming up in December and I realized that I've almost been married longer than my parents.  It was a strange thought, because to me, they...

The other day I got an email from Kohls.com saying my wife's shipping information had been changed.  I went in and took a look and it was her name, but an address in Alabama (we are in Michigan).. I know, I know.. "Start hiding money" ;)     There was about $600 worth of merchandise in her...

Small family business... Public restroom in our office. Somebody seriously just #### all over the floor.  Saw it on the back of his pants when he walked out.  Checked the bathroom and :X

I know there have been discussions on these here before and I did a "little" searching first. I was in Chicago a few weekends ago with my daughter for a dance competition (live in Michigan).  I got a letter last week with pics and a link to a video showing I ran a red light.  At first, I didn't...

Here's the situation... Me and three other buddies have a long standing group text.. Nothing major, mostly trash talking about sports. Anyways, out of the blue, my text messages to them started putting the wrong date on it.. Like today, a text to them shows 11/30 on their end and this causes...

My 17 year old daughter who's a Junior in High School was selected by the School for some Rotary Club student program.. She had a meeting today at the School with the Superintendent and I assume somebody from the Rotary. The Superintendent told my wife (who's a teacher at the school) how...

Just heard from my wife, she's a little upset. Her 40 year old brother had an appointment today for a possible stent (he's had one already). Turns out he needs bypass surgery..it's looking like quintuple. Anybody have any experience with somebody of this age needing bypass surgery??

Heard a commercial for refinancing and they kept pronouncing it with the word "fin" in the middle... Sounded odd because I've always pronounced it like it had "eye" in the middle.. What say you?

Just a simple poll to see if I'm an oddball or not... Rocky vs Thunderlips and Mr. T... Mickey dies... Rocky vs Ivan Drago... Apollo dies... The soundtrack alone makes me pick Rocky IV... Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Rocky III, but never considered it nearly as good as Rocky IV.. Am I crazy??
