    Inheritance

    I've been executor on two estates, so I know all the time-consuming tasks that have to occur. One of these estates involved a bunch of old, worthless cars sitting in an empty field. They still had titles which had to be closed out before we could settle. That took some doing to get rid of all...

    Sleepless In Seattle

    We've watched this movie several times. How can you miss it? It's on here all the time. I would love to live on a houseboat for a vacation house. It reminds me of the ones in Amsterdam. Hanks was a lucky guy with that kid.

    Optimistically Skeptical......

    It's going to be more of the same, I'm afraid, over the next four years. No one can fix this mess, and they all are tripping over each other in Washington. They'll put another band-aid on it and go home for Christmas.

    Rearing stepchildren isn't as easy!

    We have a couple of these situations in our family, and it is not easy. The kids find it too easy to blame the step-parent for any little thing that doesn't suit them.

    Bead-making daddy

    I'm this great big guy who thinks of himself as a manly man. My daughter is on this jewelry making kick. Guess who is sitting down at night and stringing beads. The things we fathers do for our children never stop. I just hope we don't have company tonight. We're making pink and white necklaces.

    Chicken wings

    These all sound so good. It's no wonder some of these wing places do so well. I could eat chicken three or four days a week and not get tired of it. It's a good thing, too, since it's better for you than red meat.

    Favorite cooking method

    We like grilling outside. We don't do it nearly enough. The oven is always good, and most things taste better cooked in the oven than in the microwave. Still, grilling out is the best.

    Winter in the Village

    We don't have this kind of thing near us either, but it sounds like something we would love. My daughter and I have every Friday together as our special day because Mama's studying. My daughter plans the afternoon, so I know this would be on her list.

    Buying Presents

    Those individual bonding times are so important. I can't tell you how special my daughter and I think our "daughter-daddy" time is to both of us. It must be even more important for stepchildren, children and their parents.

    McAfee murder

    I heard bits and pieces a month or so ago, but I haven't followed the latest development. I used to have McAfee on this computer, but I changed over. The pop-ups have just started because the old version ran out. I've got to get those things to stop.

    Craving chicken wings

    We have never been to a Buffalo Wild Wings place, and I'm not sure there's one anywhere within driving distance. Now, you've got me hungry. We had a good wings place here, but it went out of business at least five years ago.

    Stocking Stuffer Ideas

    My daughter's a little older, I think, but she does love beads to make friendship bracelets and necklaces out of. They have been great stocking stuffers for us for a few years now. She trades them with her friends, too.

    Commiting to outdoor decorations

    There's this really bad section of town where I live where the residents throw lights on everything. They put them around the lawn mowers, the dog houses, the trees, the bushes and hang them from the trees. It's known as the tacky lights, and the tackier the better. I have fond memories of...

    Cheez-It snack mix

    There's a lot of fat in the regular Cheez-It product. I like to pop open a can of deviled ham and use the little yellow crackers to dip it out. Man, that's a great, but fattening, snack.

    Christmas lights

    We love seeing the Christmas lights and even drive 75 miles to see one of our favorite places. A few houses have spectacular displays, and we make a point to see them whenever we can.

    Second Cold in a Month

    There's a lot of winter left, so colds just go along with the season. It seems like everything in the world goes around at my daughter's school. She's always coming down with something.

    Wish My Wife Was Home Today

    My girl is extremely active and energetic. She determines the course of our day. Her mom is in her last semester of school and is always wanting my daughter and me out of the house so she can study. I'll be glad when she finishes and we can come home.

    Switches or coal, anyone?

    I still get those awful memories when I hear about switches, coal or bad little boys at Christmas. I don't think I was bad, but I really never liked that lady after that.

    Chicken wings

    We're going to my sister's for dinner tonight. She's fixing her famous crab soup. For the people who don't like seafood, she's fixing chicken wings. One sister fixes vinegar-based wings. The other fixes a sugary sauce. Which do you prefer? I'm diabetic, so I avoid the sugar, although those...

    Wiki needs some help

    If I used the site much at all, I'd consider donating to it. Since I don't use it, I see no need to donate. I do donate to sites I use, unless there is a lot of advertising on them. Then I figure they're making their money and I'm being used as an eyeball.
