Happy Birthday America! 239 years old and I am celebrating by playing World of Warships. Love that game.

I need to start blogging more. Lately, I fine myself in one thing or another. I want to start reading more. But, I am afraid both things will have to wait until a Summer class I might be taking. Just a quick update. Everything is fine. Except money wise. I am short there as always. Work is going good and I promise to take some kind of action on my website this year.
It is almost Easter once again. I like to take my vacation time this time of the year. It coincides with a lot of other things. As far as work, my new position will cause me to come back to work the day after Easter. I generally like to be off on this day, but the timing makes it necessary for me to go in. As far as work everything is going great.
It is Christmas time again. Remember the Reason for the Season and today. Happy Birthday, JESUS!

Well, I watched several of the new series. I do not like Red Band Society. I hope this one gets canceled. Gotham another one I don’t see surviving, although it was ok. I did like the new ABC Series Forever. As far as returning favorites, I think Sleepy Hallow is ok. I think CBS has the strongest line up. I loved the season opener of NCIS and Persons of Interest. New Girl is getting really trashy.
This week is a busy week. Working overtime every night except Friday night. Why not Friday night. Because we have our inventory at work on Saturday night. So, I will be at work on Saturday night.

Ephesians 6:4“Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
The weather outside is horrible right now. It is coming down cats and dogs. Also, I am sorry I have not updated the website. I am working on some strategies, but so far I am coming up on a black as to which program and language to use. I loved Frontpage. I wished Microsoft would not have stopped it or Microsoft Money. They need to bring those two programs back.
I know it has been a while since I last posted. No excuses. However, since the last post, we now have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 3 kittens. The kittens are ready to go if someone wants them and my sister has 5 kittens ready to go.
Other than that work is going fine and I am doing ok. Just poor and broke. But rich with everlasting life.
Well, we started out with 5 kittens. We are now down to 1 kitten and she is doing great. She went to the Vet for a check up due to a possible UTI. The Vet says little L is doing fine and that we are doing everything right. Unfortunately, the other four just didn’t make it. By the way L will be 2 weeks old on Thursday. We are still waiting for L to open her eyes.
A stray cat had kittens in our yard then abandoned them. There were 5 total. So, we have been trying to take care of them. Unfortunately, two died one today and one yesterday. But, three are surviving and seemed to be doing good. Hopefully they will survive they are very cute and I think I will keep one. One male and two females left. The two that died were both female.
It’s Official, the first full week of Fall classes has begun. I am only taking one class because taking more than one, drives me nuts working full time. Also, as soon as I decide on a new website design program, as all of my Microsoft Website design software is now obsolete, I will update my website. Bare with me.

Some people regard discipline as a chore.
At the end of this month, thanks to my company, I will be back in class. I am definitely taking one course. I might increase that to two. We will see.

Hello all, I know it has been a while and one of the things I want to work on is blogging more for the rest of the year. The website my not be updated for a while as I am exploring different software options. But as I do update it I will keep you all updated.
Quote of the Day:
We need not all agree, but if we disagree, let us not be disagreeable in our disagreements.
My Dear Taco was put to sleep tonight. It was not planned. He started having seizures and they would not stop for almost an hour and a half. I could not see him suffer and the Emergency Vet stated it was for the best. He never did recover. I will miss him greatly. I lost Henry almost two years ago and now Taco. All my dogs are gone.

Well, it has been tough at work lately. I have been working rare overtime to get the yearly inventory done and we finally finished last night. My batteries are still drained and I have to work through this week with only a little juice left. But, at least it will be back to normal routines and I get a four day break at the end of the week. On a different note, I would like to wish my Mom and Dad a Happy 45th wedding anniversary yesterday, June 8th.
My procedure was done on Friday morning. I received good news, but still have many questions. No blockages were found. But, I still have my chest tightness, light headiness and short of breathiness from HCM. So, hopefully the doctor will have more for me when I go back for the follow-up. One good thing I had a dissolvable plug put in and did not have to stay long in the hospital.
Remember tomorrow when you are taking a moment before eating Easter dinner, that two thousand and thirteen years ago Jesus was born. One thousand, nine hundred and eighty years as of Friday, that Jesus died an extricating death on a wooden splintered filled Cross, paid our account in full from the bonds of sin. What we celebrate tomorrow is remembering all those years ago He Rose and defeated death, Satan and Sin.
Well, I was hoping that this year would be better than next. So far it has been a mixed bag. I was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Then I had a nuclear stress test done. It was discovered that the bottom right of my right is not receiving enough blood or oxygen when under stress. So, I have to undergo a cardiac catheterization to see what the problem is. The doctor told me it wasn’t urgent but I need to have it done.
Merry Christmas and Christmas Eve to all my family, friends and everyone else. I will be working tomorrow morning and wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas tonight. Remember Jesus birthday is the reason for tomorrow!

I just can't believe Hostess goes out of business and then give their execs pay raises. I can understand why the workers did not approve any deal. The workers sacrifice but not the upper management.

To all my Family and friends. I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving. Let’s get stuffed for like the bird. Enjoy and remember this is the best time of the year. I am thankful for some many things. I thank God every day for what he has given me and I look forward to what is to come. I have significant challenges ahead of me, but know that as long as I am thankful and have Jesus and God that I can get through anything.
Well class is almost out. I only took one this semester. Next semester is going to be a killer. I will have three next year. But, this one class was an intro to art course. It was an online course and I have to say one of the best organized ones I have taken. The content was fresh, worked all the time and was relevant to the subject matter. I have an A in it so far.
Still working and keeping busy. I did have a little time to catch up on Kitchen Nightmare’s yesterday. I don’t understand these people they know they are in trouble and then Gordon Ramsey comes in tells them what is wrong and they act like nothing is that it is Gordon Ramsey that is wrong. Still hoping to take a little time this weekend to update my website. Won’t be a major update.
Well, for my Introduction to Arts class I am going to the Tampa Museum. This will be my first time there. I am going when it is free. Also, I get to renew my concealed weapons permit tomorrow. That is not free unfortunately. Then my mom and me are going to dinner. On a different note. I know that the website has not been updated in a while. I am hoping to get to it before the end of the month.
Sorry I haven’t blogged in a long time or updated my website. I started classes this month and between that and work I have been extremely busy. I am going to try to get to the website later on this month. Well, as far as anything new. I had to give up cable and went back to over the air. I like not getting a bill, but have fewer viewing choices.
Here is a short video I shot at Alexus’ birthday party.
