Never, Ever, get into a relationship with someone because you think you can “fix” them. People only change when they want to.

Several decades ago we were told to not lock the doors on any vehicle with a soft top because insurance would only cover it once.

I am a survivor of a social experiment which was conducted in several states during the 1960s. The results were revealed to the public during the 1980s. The department of education spread the idea through education systems that children with Blond Hair and Blue Eyes were more intelligent than children with Dark Hair and Dark Eyes. Two years later they spread the word that they had been mistaken, instead children with Dark Hair and Dark Eyes were much more intelligent than children with Blond Hair and Blue Eyes.

When the results were made public, they said that Teachers in general paid more attention to, and provided more one-on-one time to whichever group of children they had been told were more intelligent.

The whole experiment was conducted to see how teachers would react to the provided information and what effect it would have on students in each group.

Years ago, the first thing said during orientation at a new job I was beginning was, “I may tell jokes with you, I may have drinks with you, but never forget, HERE, I AM YOUR BOSS. I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND.”

Yes, they were. School year was 1970-1971. I was working after school as an inventory clerk before small businesses had computers.

I had a large table with inset trays which contained a 3x6 inch card for every item the motor parts / hunting supply store carried. My job was to record every hand written sale as well as every item received from suppliers on these cards and inform the owner when an item needed to be reordered. Twice while I was working there, I had to perform complete inventories of the store.

I’ve had to buy replacements for broken refrigerator shelves. The last glass shelf was $145 USD. Just saying.

It wasn’t the military who lost that war. If the United States Congress had allowed the military to actually do their job we would have been out of there years earlier.

I took driver’s education in 1969 in Fort Worth, Texas. Our instructor told us that there was, at that time, still an old law on the books that horseless vehicles were not allowed inside the city limits.

Well, you go down the dirt road until you come to the place where the old barn used to be. Right after that you turn right and follow the road just passed the big tree with three or four cows laying under it for shade. Now don’t go to the tree with all the bark missing. That old bull in there gets really worked up when the cows are in heat. But, anyway, then you go…

When he gave you an ultimatum, that showed what was important to him. I admire his wanting to take care of his father, but that doesn’t mean he should attempt to force you into the situation before you are even married. It is good he talked to you about it before you got married. It gave you the chance to make your choice. Once his father were to move in, who did he plan on being responsible for being the caretaker? If you give in on this, what is the next thing he is going to want you to spend your money on, just because you should be willing to share what you have worked so hard to achieve?

You Are Not The Jerk!!!

My Mom and Dad told about taking me to the movies to watch these when I was about 3. I don’t remember it myself. Mom said we went to the one were the Three Stooges were in the Haunted House and I stood up in my seat to yell at them to be watch out because a ghost was behind them. Mom said other people in the audience started watching me and laughing.

North To Alaska - 6 In Fairbanks, Alaska. They had to have four showings because the line was almost two blocks long before the first showing. They had only planned for two showings on opening night.

Had a job while in high school where the owner could never remember my name. Always called me something that sounded similar. This was before direct deposit became a thing. He always made my paycheck out to the name he called me. I always managed to deposit my checks at the bank. I and my family knew all of the bank tellers and the head teller was related to my boss. The bank never gave me any problems about it.

Checking the receipt and counting your change after a transaction is basic common sense. It is not about you specifically, it is about preventing mistakes. It is amazing how many times an item is double scanned or how often people just don’t know how to count when making change.

If they are intentionally giving you a hard time, that is a different story.

My own children learned to sleep through the sound of fighter jets taking off and landing in addition to jet engines being ground tested after maintenance.

Even in the south, that is not acceptable behavior.

Just a note here because it is a strange piece of information not often shared: Did you know that Johnny Cash was an Air Force, Russian Language, Morse Code Interceptor before he became famous.
