That I watch pretty much everything with subtitles. This is partly due to hearing loss but mainly because I prefer to read instead of listen. That I’m an extremely picky eater, but I am willing to try most foods. I don’t drink coffee, tea, or beer. I don’t eat seafood. I only eat steaks cooked medium well or well done. Hence my passion for pizza. That I broke my first… View Post »
The big 4-0
Another month, another weight loss goal. These days, I’m down about 40 pounds. 4-0. That’s a lot but is only 2/3 of my ultimate goal.

Most stores have good deals on them throughout the summer,… View Post »

Stealing blog topics
I love when inspiration strikes and gives me a great blog post idea. I also tend to start a post, finish it when I can flesh it out, and schedule it to post later. Several times, I’ve seen a post on another blog with the same topic I just posted or was planning to post. I also love when I see someone post about something I just wrote about. Personally,… View Post »
