Losing a job at a crucial moment can feel like the world’s crashing down — whether it’s financial pressure, family responsibilities, or just the fear of the unknown. But here’s what I want to know from you: What was your mindset...

I know I have preached about this a ton. I have always been and probably always will be someone who believes every penny counts. I put the $11.98 pack of meat back for $11.22. I will pay in quarters for drinks or small purchases...

RUBESH I really like the way you framed this — it shows how small, steady choices add up over time. Putting back the pricier meat, paying in coins, using cashback apps, coupons, and side hustles may not look like much in the moment, but together they build a habit of...

I will be putting the dogs out soon and then getting dressed. It's going to be a comfortable day here. We have pretty sunshine this morning. Hoping for some fun stuff at the auction today. The snack guy was there Tuesday but...

RUBESH Sounds like you’ve got a nice start to the day — sunshine, dogs, and something to look forward to at the auction. Glad to hear the snack guy is recovering well after his hip replacement, and hopefully he’ll bring treats again soon. Auctions can be full of...

Today would have been my mom and dad’s 50th wedding anniversary (they married very young). She died a few months before their 40th anniversary. Thirty-one of those years were good, with nine a total nightmare due to her dementia....

RUBESH That’s such a tender reflection — thank you for sharing it. Anniversaries like that can bring up a mix of gratitude, sadness, and even a bit of humor (like your dad’s “never good with dates” side). It sounds like you’ve found a way to honor your mom’s memory...

And no, not just since yesterday's Minneapolis shooting. I didn't realize it was even going on, but evidently in many churches now, it is. As I have said before, I lived for a time in a small town in southern IL. My best friend...

RUBESH That’s a really thoughtful and important question. Locking church doors during services is becoming more common, especially after high-profile shootings and security threats. It’s meant to protect people, but it can definitely change the atmosphere of a place...

My dentist appointment yesterday was interesting. The dentist, who was very young and cute, was double-booked; but he did refill my tooth. Unfortunately he cannot handle a re-root canal. I have to go to a specialist who is over...

RUBESH Your day sounded full — dentist adventures, shifting meal plans, and cousin rescheduling again! At least you managed to get the tooth refill done, even if the specialist visit is a hassle. And I get what you mean about the cabbage before the dentist — good...

Residents of Vestavia Hills Alabama saw a very strange spelling of the word "South" on a road that leads to Interstate 65 on Thursday May 15. The word "Sooth" was printed on a road that leads to Interstate 65. Vestavia Hills city...

RUBESH That’s a funny little news bit — the “Sooth” typo on the Vestavia Hills road feels like one of those you-had-one-job moments. It shows how even small mistakes can grab attention, spark laughter, and remind us not to take everything too seriously.

RUBESH Ah, the joys of modern convenience—when it works! ?? That Walmart cutoff time has caught me off guard more than once too. It’s frustrating when the site acts up just when you need it, only to work perfectly again after the deadline passes. Murphy’s Law,...

Pretty went online and bought a heavy duty plastic shower chair and a grab bar for our shower stall. I had to call her for help when I couldn't get back up off the tub floor a couple of weeks ago. It was embarrassing for both of...

RUBESH I'm really glad to hear you took steps to make your shower safer — that’s not always an easy thing to admit, let alone act on. It takes courage to recognize when something needs to change and even more to actually do something about it. That shower chair and...

Last month, I was unable to receive payment here. And I thought I wouldn’t make it this month either—but lo and behold, I was $0.05 over the threshold! I laughed when I saw it. I am not exactly rolling in riches, but hey—it...

RUBESH That’s amazing—congrats on hitting the threshold, even if it was just by $0.05! ?? It’s funny how those small moments can feel like big victories, especially when things have been tough. Every little win counts, and it’s so encouraging to hear yours!

RUBESH That sounds really heavy. ?? You’ve been carrying a lot on your own strength, and it takes an incredible amount of resilience to hold on when you don’t feel supported—even by family. The fact that you’re still standing means you’ve built inner strength that...

RUBESH @DaddyEvil Thank you, truly. You're right — money doesn’t grow on trees, and being jobless at this point has made things extra hard.

RUBESH It’s interesting how one person’s choices can ripple through a relationship, isn’t it? You’re right, it’s not just about the drink or the habit itself, but how it affects the everyday moments you used to share. Giving up alcohol was a big shift, but now giving...
