A Frightening Yesterday

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 9 Oct 18

I was at work when someone mentioned there was something going on in my city. I said "I hope it isn't in my neighborhood" and felt my heart sink when they said it was right where I live. My autistic daughter was home by...

Take Those Old Records Off the Shelf

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 1 Oct 18

My son came home with a box full of records. A lot of religious ones because the person (horder) was religious, but there were some that made me light up. A couple of Beatle Albums that I remember my sisters having when we were...

Getting Prepared for Retirement-Maybe!

Went to my credit union today with every intention of starting an IRA account. They won't let me until I talk to a financial advisor. Right now I'm waiting on him to call me and discuss my options. I already have an idea of what I...

Kitten Update-Almost Had Him!

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 11 Sep 18

He's definitely a fast little booger. Had him cornered last night but he alluded us. Made a trap (box and a string) to catch him and it worked perfectly, although I had to wait for him to get in the right position. Unfortunately,...

The little one is still here. Mostly hiding under our shed. My daughter took out some food and water. Kitten chowed down. I decided it needs a name and while I don't know if it is a boy or girl, I'm giving it a gender neutral...

Update On The Feral Kitten

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 9 Sep 18

It was gone this morning, but heard it later in the day. Right now it is hiding under our shed. We put a bit of food out for it by the shed and it did come out and eat. Getting something in its tummy is a good thing. Watched it...

Little Feral Kitten

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 9 Sep 18

Just a baby, lost from its mama. Been hanging around meowing for mama. Not much I can do for it, as it won't come to me. Took a bit of cat food out, hoping to entice it to at least eat something. I usually don't feed feral cats,...

Vacations Just Seem To Fly By

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 8 Sep 18

I've been on vacation from work this week. Spent most of it lounging about and snacking. As I don't have little kids in the house, I can do a bit of napping when I feel like it. Today my son and I are going to Sam's Club to bulk...

A Morning Surprise

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 6 Sep 18

I got a package this morning. I was expecting it, but not for another week. I hadn't even bothered tracking it. There it was, sitting on my porch. What did I buy? A versatile handy caddy! In other word, a canvas grocery cart. No...

It's Still Scary-Investing The Horror!

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 5 Sep 18

I recently started investing and I cringe every time I go to look at how things are going with it. I know there are ups and downs, but I don't like seeing the down at all. Hopefully in the long run I'll see some positive...

Every week my daughter and I try a recipe we've never done before. This week we are making homemade toaster pastries and toaster strudel. We decided on brown sugar cinnamon for the pastries. For the strudel I bought blackberry...

Yes, I do those silly things online to make money. No, I don't believe it is going to make me rich, but here's what it has done. It has bought Christmas and birthday presents. Paid some small bills. Money for investing and saving....

Goals and Junk Like That

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 21 Aug 18

I found my long lost cover artist, who is working on the new cover for Grue Tales for me. Once I have it I'll be able to put on the print version. Whether or not it will make me any sales is debatable, but I owe some people copies...

The Good and Bad of Yesterday

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 6 Jul 18

Starting with the bad, just to get it out of the way. The last room I had a work was a disaster! Trash all over the place. They must have asked for every extra blanket we had, plus all the extra towels. Took me longer than it...

How to Leave a Tip for the Hotel Housekeeper

RK Finnell @irishidid (8687) • United States 26 Jun 18

Surprisingly, it does matter. Where you leave the tip is as important as giving a tip. If the housekeeper has to question whether or not money left is a tip they won't touch it. If you have money laying around the room, it's even...
