Turn it up.
Few days ago I posted that a friend that lives in the western suburbs of Chicago saw a mountain lion in his backyard. This is the cam from his next door neighbours that night.

They think this is dangerous,wait until they hear about kids cutting off their private parts because society says they should.
Today marks our 24th anniversary,26 yrs together. They have been the best years of my life. Our story has been a blessed one. I’m thankful each and every day for her and the life we have together.
Bit of a damp and dreary start to spring break,we could use the rain though. I hope each of you have a wonderful day and weekend ahead. Enjoy yourselves.
I really wished people understood that wildlife conservation’s largest supporters and funders are hunters and anglers. There would be zero wildlife left without the management regulations pushed for by and the funding of,hunters and anglers. You can hate it but it’s the truth.
Surgery went well,not pleasant,but well.
There will be more in the future to hopefully clear up some damage. I appreciate the good thoughts and prayers. Have a great evening and I’ll see you tomorrow.
People.
You can mock it,berate me,as some past friends have by calling me a bible thumper,I do not care. I do not force my beliefs on you and I will not let you force your lack of faith on me. I owe everything I have and am,to God,not a celebrity or political party. Period.
Unfortunately, I have once again a tear in one of my retinas. Waiting for a call for laser surgery to close it. My optometrist and ophthalmologist have already saved my vision once,now hopefully they will be successful again. It’s very frustrating but it’s out of my hands.
A Murder most foul.
First photo is of my pineapple on Friday,this morning I discovered the crime scene. I can only guess it was a large turtle from the lake. Not sure what else it could be. Maybe a raccoon?
I didn’t grow up in a house with a porch. Two of the houses we built up north though did have them. Places to sit in quiet,talk with family,visit with the neighbors,or watch it rain. Porches are a wonderful place.
29 years ago today I became a father for the first time.
I could not be prouder of how he has grown into a man,a husband,a father and man that’s served and still serving his country. Happy Birthday Ian.
Post your greatest win (that you’re willing share with Twitter) of 2023!
I’ll go first.
- camping & kayaking with SavDad for the first time in decades.
Look I’m not special,just a guy that loves his wife,children and dog. I’ve lived a hard life and one less hard. I’ve known unimaginable loss and sorrow. I’ve also known unimaginable happiness and gratitude. I say what I think and feel,it’s not for everyone. Thanks for the follow.
I have met in person some really nice people off this app
Today someone I’ve followed for years but never met did one of the kindest things for me. She took a name and a cemetery location and located at least a dozen of my ancestors. Most I knew nothing about. Thank you, Mary Jo!
There were two large and heavy statues in the pile. They had been the old couples and I guess she couldn’t take them with her. They ended up being from the Frank Loyd Wright collection. We have them now in our back garden as a reminder of the kind professor and his lovely wife.
Good morning,hope you have a great one today.
Remember,if the government really didn’t want us to have guns,they wouldn’t put up targets everywhere. Enjoy your day.
Earlier this week I contacted a library in Eastern Tennessee about a letter they have in a collection. I asked for &received a PDF of a 3 page letter written by my x2 Great Grandfather while serving in the CW. He was on the Union side & from Kingston,TN. Seeing his handwriting
Today I posted something that meant a lot to me and my family.
I was a little surprised to get some negative feedback about it. If you’re not interested,just don’t comment,no need to be a dickhead or an insecure wuss.
A very Happy Birthday to this little hula girl.
We’ve been together for half of your life and that’s been a great honour. Your sons and I love you very much,Happy Birthday Heather!
Sad news that the in-laws are going to have to put down this old girl. She’s been in our lives for 15 years and it’s going to sting not seeing her again. Rest Easy old friend,I will miss you.
Good morning. Take some time for yourself today,listen to some music you enjoy,read a little of a book you like,just step outside and breathe some fresh air. Those things always help clear my mind of troubles. I hope you have a great one today.
Been a nice few days away. Our College boy is back home and it’s great to have him home as we head into Christmas. Have a great day today. Check in on someone,a friend or family member,make sure they’re doing well. Be grateful,be humble and enjoy this day.
Whelp, Iron Will decided to up the excitement level. Started wheezing and retracting, so we’re in the ER.
Respectfully request y’all continue your prayers!
On the bright side and to the delight of the medical staff, he was able to ID all the body parts of the dinosaur wall
New day,new week, I hope each of you have a great one. Just want to say I appreciate you and I appreciate the interactions with you. We’re heading into that time of year that can be difficult for some,check in on your friends and family from time to time. Grateful for all of you
