I’m so lucky to have an older brother who is smart and knows how to make lucrative investments. Even when we were young, he would bet his money on certain situations when he knew he could win. He would always calculate the odds in his mind and know if he had a solid chance like […]

I hated when my friends and cousins called me ‘chicken’ over the years
When I was young, my friends and cousins would usually make fun of me for being so small. Also whenever they wanted to get me to do something I didn’t want to do, they would call me a chicken and then I would prove that I could do whatever. I guess I stepped up to […]
We were poor coming up, but we were rich in heart
We were very poor growing up. We had a fireplace in our home but no heating system or cooling system. We actually had to go into the woods all the time to collect wood, take down trees and split them up to have a constant supply of firewood, otherwise we wouldn’t make it through the […]
It was difficult coming up with numerous siblings and a single mother
It was difficult coming up with only our mother. Our father passed away from a major heart attack and he could not be revived. It was a sad time for us all, but I can’t even imagine how our mother was able to carry on. She worked at a local soup exchange. It was actually […]
My brother and I had a tough time coming up, but we eventually had stable lives
I actually remember spending time with our mother when my brother and I were young. We learned that our father died from cancer, and that was a serious tragic event. He had a life insurance plan and our mother took care of us with that money for a little while as she worked different part […]
My brother bought the same thermostat I did, but for a much higher price
I learned that my brother bought his from an online auction site, likely from a drop shipper When I was telling my brother about the new smart thermostat I got, he was interested. One of the first things I had to point out is the fact that the smart thermostat can save you as much […]
I think that it is very important to have the knowledge to fix things at home without calling a professional every time there is a problem. I have stressed this to my children, so they can be self-reliable when they grow up. I taught them how to change the oil and check the tire. I taught them how to check the brakes and diagnose problems with the engine. I also taught the kids how to fix machines inside of the house like the furnace, air conditioner, washing machine, and others. When I had trouble with the AC unit in the house, I immediately started working on the air conditioner so I could fix the problem. I racked my brain for days and I was unable to come up with a solution to the problem. I needed the air conditioner to work and I wasn't having any luck on my own. I decided to call a repair service. I didn't want anyone to know that I called a pro, so I asked the service professional to park at the end of the street. The guy originally said that he would do that, but he still parked the repair truck in front of my home. I guess everyone in the neighborhood probably knows that I called a professional. I was trying to keep that a secret, but the HVAC repairman made it impossible after he blew my entire cover by parking in the driveway. It's only a simple matter of time before the kids find out that I had to call a professional for help. I'm sure they will have a few things to say about my temporary lapse in judgment. I'm getting older and that should be a pretty good excuse that warrants a little bit of extra help every now and then.
She found the spill on the floor first Heating system
I didn’t think the AC sounded like it was working right
I was visiting with my mom on Wednesday and the two of us were sitting in the living room discussing some shows that the two of us saw on television the previous day. It was kind of warm outside and the air conditioner in the living room was running. My mom and dad do not […]
I want to find the right time to talk to my Mom
Last month I went to visit my mom and I was really surprised by the condition of the house. I thought my mom was doing well on her own, but I don’t think that is actually true. The house was very cold and the whole place felt frozen when I arrived. My mom told me […]
