My sister and I are both left handed. My Mom and Dad were both right handed. Perhaps the mail carrier was my real father??

Spit in a cup and send it to Ancestry. Not one, not two but three half sisters contacted me out of the blue. Wasn't the mailman. Explains why we're all a foot taller than anyone else in the rest of our families.

29 to 14! with the win the Spartans are undefeated! A trip to state championships awaits..
And Debbie will practice at camp randall. doing cheers as the team practices. a lot to ask of a 17 year old..
as a cheerleader she overcame her shy nature to become more outgoing. now she prepares for the biggest challenge on the biggest stage..

Got a call today. A computer voice said that there was a problem with my social security number and it also advised that I push number 1 and speak to an agent. It said something like ignoring this call could result in a heavy fine or jail sentence. So, I pushed number 1 and waited for the agent to answer. He said can I help you I said yes, go f*ck yourself. He was stunned and silent or what I commonly refer to as "stuck on stupid" so, I hung up.

Our federal government offices are never open on a Saturday and they would never call to advise you of a problem like that over the phone.

Kate colored her hair. she now looks Green like a shamrock.
Rikki and I approved of it and showed her we like her independent actions regarding her choices. We just wish she would be a little more conservative in her outfits

2 more 100 year old windows redone. The worst 2, i had to get some filler out for the sill but it turned out good. can`t wait for it to be windy so i can see what a difference it has made. It`s been running bout $100 a window most of which is the new storm window on the outside. the next 2 will have to come out and smaller ones taken out from elsewhere and put in, to be able to make it a kitchen. ugh maybe not. guess i spoke to early cause now we have storms coming our way with hail the news just said.

I was summoned to Wright Middle school. in the office sat Ian. a black eye and bruises told the tale. The fight started after a boy used a racial slur to seo Yoon. 3 day suspended. his phone and Facebook locked grounded 7 days.

My dog Kobi turned eight years old last month (56yo) and now I'm noticing he's getting more white hair in his face and a patch of hair on his back is turning from black to brown...Just as playful as ever though, plays like a puppy lol...

My first computer ran Windows 95 and a 56k modem haha...I've used the name 'nivek' to identify myself online since I began using the internet and set up my first email account ever all those years ago, it was nivek@rx-7.net which that site is long gone, it was a site dedicated to Mazda RX-7 cars...I've used older computers than that which ran unix, dos, or Windows 3.1 on a 28k modem but never owned one until after Windows 95 came out...

The first forum I ever joined was over 20 years ago, The Waking World, which is long gone, it was a spirituality topic forum and where I first met my dear friend from Canada @cosmic joke

Beepers, old flip phones, detritus of another time. Believe it or not dial-up still has its uses.

Remember dial up with acoustical couplers? I used to install and repair 110 baud point to point modems over 4-wire circuits at IBM. They weighed close to 30 lbs.

Coaxial backbones, IBM type 2 LAN cabling. 327x front end controllers the size of dishwashers supporting 32 users. Got fancy with 3299 muxes and saved some copper. Way before token ring graced our presence.

Stone knives and bear skins.

I seem to see some telephone technician’s butt sets on the top shelf.
