    Ancestry and other such genealogy databases.

    My sister is the genealogist and asked that I send in a DNA sample to see if if she could corroborate the family tree that she had assembled by comparing our results with others on the tree. Nope, did not match at all. Generations ago, the traveling salesman must have been very good. All was not...

    prostate sugery .... anyone else ?

    I had mine removed in 2009, trusting in my surgeon who thought that his hands were more sensitive than a robotic hand. He did a good job as I am still cancer free and unlike some friends who ignored PC, alive. I strongly recommend that you start lurking on the Healing Well website where the...

    Dreaded Call From The Bank.

    My wife lost her Visa card and did not realize it until the statement came. I never bothered reporting it because whoever found it put less on it than she did.

    Cataract surgery

    My wife recently had her cataracts removed and opted for the mono vision approach. She now wears no correction and feels that the operation produced amazing results. Color was the first thing that she noticed, the perception of it was lacking before surgery.

    ROOT CANAL

    My buddy is a dentist and insists that a root canal can be almost painless if the dentist wants it to be so. However he claims that many of his patients are so horrible to him that he just doesn't care if he touches that nerve. I would recommend that you compliment your Doc (on something) and...

    Foaming my attic.

    We did years ago during a reroof. Put only 1 1/2" on so that I would not have to also put wider gutters on. It made a great difference in the comfort of my upstairs rooms, more than the R value alone would account for. The roofer thought that the silver side also helped reflect the heat.

    I met this older man wearing a WWII hat and I started chatting with hime when his daughter came up, listening, and she said. " Tell what rank you retired with Dad." First 4 star general that I have ever met. Very nice man. John William Vessey Jr. - Wikipedia.

    Dog walker

    My 12 year old son had a dog walking job. He was to be at the house twice a day at the appointed time to walk the dog on an appointed route - $ 10/day. Pretty good money for a 12 year old 20 years ago. One day the owner, knowing that he was going to make the decision soon to move, asked my son...

    Combat tv series question

    I had a customer once who was from Germany. He was in the US visiting the site where he had been interned as a POW. He HATED picking cotton and really did not like Texas at all. But what was funny was his telling of how he was "Ze bad guy who fought against ze Rat Patrol." He loved the series.

    Ford Flex feedback

    My wife has a red 2016 Flex and we really enjoy car. It has nice highway manners. Ours has the split middle seats which helps load the grandkids. What I do not like is that it is not very nimble in tight situations due to its long wheelbase.

    A car engine generator?

    For living off the grid I always thought that a steam engine that ran several generators, charging a battery bank, would be the ticket. LED lighting would extend the battery hours. The bonus would be lots of hot water.

    Air Rifle for Geese control

    The wrist rocket after a bit of practice, was too dangerous for the geese and I did not want a fine. My dog at 14 decided to retire so I needed a new tool. I found that they hate a green laser. Once they learn that the green dot irritates their eyes, they usually panic when they see it at other...

    LOANING MONEY

    When I had employees I was often approached for help from them. Sometimes if the employee was solid, I could do a loan and take it out of their pay in agreed upon terms. I learned though that a gift or a loan with no expectation of repayment often cost me an employee. Their pride was insulted...

His work around was to put the pencil in his right hand to remember the correct spelling then quickly write the...
