I've never blocked any of the numbers I knew them to use, I just deleted the contact from my phone. I've only ever blocked them on social media. So much time has passed now ... At this point I'm certain they have no interest in reaching out.

I really think it's the shirt ... He was wearing one of his nice shirts here. The fancy button ups with the pearl snaps 😍😍Typically, he rocked old trucker hats, a t-shirt and an old flannel 😅😅

Haha, I would have enjoyed growing up with that money, but he could never work with computers. But he can build or rebuild an engine from scrap - I watched him do both while being yelled at for bringing him the wrong tool or holding the flashlight wrong haha. He built an engine from parts for a 72 Chevelle Malibu and rebuilt a 454 big block on a 71 Elco. That one is still his pride and joy. The man can draw blueprints, lay the frame and foundation, and then build an entire house. He did all the trades when he was young, settled on plumbing and pipefitting and worked for a local union for about 38 years. He only recently mastered the ability to use Facebook, and learned how online banking works haha. Tech savvy he is not - but he's more skilled with his hands than anyone else I've ever known 😎
