A whole lot of things have happened in the last year or so which makes me appreciate the small things in life. There’s feeding the squirrels this winter, seeing the first flower bloom this spring and watching the children...

@BobbyCole As you say 'there is nothing new under the sun' - we just have to try to find new ways of saying it.

I’m not too sure if “challenging” is in accord with the PC movement because the word is key when one is supposed to describe certain situations. A corpse is now a metabolically challenged individual and one whose mental acuity...

@BobbyCole I agree with you that I try to be careful not to use racial slurs since it is offensive.

I suppose I could just as easily named this “Life on My Street” because that’s about what Porch Sittin’ amounts to. It’s like sitting on a park bench but I do it on my porch. Just about any time when I’m not doing something...

@BobbyCole Yes , the 506th Regiment was here. Downtown they have a Museum about that created by the Historical Society. That flood that happened in 1977, affected Toccoa Falls College. That was before I came here. I came here from Atlanta to attend College...

@BobbyCole Quite a lot of moving for you! --- Germany is much smaller than the USA, of course, but I've also moved around. I spent my childhood in the east, the former GDR (German Democratic Republic), my youth in the very north of the country, my adulthood in...

@BobbyCole You might be called on as a witness one day to testify to what you heard. But yes, it seems people have to yell when they're on the phone. They can't all be talking to deaf people.

@BobbyCole I am sure she could have found some interesting uses for an iron. lol. You'd think after all these years I'd learn to keep my mouth shut. But nope. Foot in mouth disease is something I definitely suffer from.

@BobbyCole Let's just go with, women are dangerous creatures. I remember my wife asking me once why I wasn't wearing my Polo shirts. "Because the collars are blown and somebody doesn't want to iron," I replied. Miraculously my entire closet wound up on the...
