A few mornings ago, as I was sitting in my kitchen enjoying a cup of hot coffee, I heard a very loud and distinct cry of a bird of prey. And VERY close. I immediately jumped up, went out the French doors to my back patio, and saw...

Jeff Moffitt @porwest I’m with you on that! Let’s keep the bears at a safe distance! Like so far away we can’t see them!

You know, I have to say, I applaud Senator John Kennedy's bills proposing that during future government shutdowns, lawmakers don't get paid. But let's face it. Is that enough? They're all millionaires in the Congress and in the...

Jeff Moffitt @porwest About 30 years ago, when I started my career job at a city municipality, my take home pay at that point became my “set” salary. No matter what increases I received over the next 30 years, I kept my take home pay at that same amount, and everything...

That's what you just have to say, sometimes. Screw it. I have back issues and have for years now. Something that only gets progressively worse unfortunately. The joys of aging? Or perhaps the pains due from a lifetime of...

Earlier, my wife and I were working on a little project. We wanted to clean behind and around the dryer since lint sometimes builds up and it has been a while. Lo and behold, as things often go, a simple task turned into a chore...

Anna @porwest I do not doubt that, but not for me.

It's not my first rodeo, as they say, dabbling a bit with YouTube. All said, I have three channels. None of them are monetized, and so far, none of them are "successful." But I also can't say any of them were [i]endeavors of...

Valerie J. Routhieaux @porwest I agree. I wrote every word of Firestorm. When revising, I look at the suggestions to make it better.

111 days until spring. It's going to be in the teens (-9 Celsius) Thursday night. Brrrrr. Nothing going on this weekend. I'm finishing up the Christmas cards. Nothing else planned. I probably should start working on adding...

I was leaving a Thanksgiving message on Facebook for the members and my Social Surveyors when I discovered this picture. It was so cute I wanted to share it with you. I hope our American members have a safe, happy and blessed...

Hi friends, my mom recently got a new car. It’s one of those new Kia’s, I’m sure you’ve seen them around and they come in that eeeerie midnight blue/grey color. It’s a pretty cool color if you ask me. I also think she...

Whenever I bring up money, some people seem to take it as bragging. Let me be clear—it's not. I'll hear comments like, "Glad it worked out for you," or, "Well, not everyone's situation is the same." And while that's true,...

DB @porwest That is an interesting take on not having money and then getting an unexpected windfall. I agree with you! Those recipients have no self-control and no realistic awareness of its value to them.

Melanie Marie @porwest Is it normal to see “X Post” right below the text on here? It’s in black with white letters. Or is it more strangeness

I am quite behind here lately. Granted, many might be like, "Porwest who?" I will be doing some catching up. Maybe tomorrow. We'll see. Of course, as you all know, I have been playing around with AI a bit. It's got my creative...

When you are a guy like me, someone who writes songs, does not have a band, and isn't as versed as some in the art of mixing and mastering music to a "radio quality" standard, and who really just makes music as a hobby, AI is a...

IvySaysHi @porwest i dont think its wrong to use some of the money you get back to pay for things you otherwise wouldn't have enough left over after taking care of responsibilities to afford or even to do a little more extra for your responsibilities. It all depends on...

It's cold here but the wind has calmed down. That helps a lot. So this afternoon I will get a few things fixed outside. One is the playhouse. That shouldn't take long. The bird feeders are hanging crooked now too. I will fill them...

Anna @porwest Well, Americans are so proud "to be American", you will never say an European say something like that. Proud of what? Did you decide where to come to this world? It sounds so silly.

DE @porwest It came out of the oven delicious! I had some breast and thigh with corn bread, fried green beans, mashed potatoes and a slice of pecan pie for dessert. I deboned one of the drumsticks and put that meat in the freezer for soup later. I'll keep...
