The Gambler had great advice...that I wouldn't listen to

I think this is it for me here. At least for now. I am going to try and keep this short, for once in my life, and avoid going on a ranty complainy tangent. It's highly unlikely anybody's reading this regardless of length, which is in essence why I'm finally calling time of death on this here corner of the web. Family emergencies kept me from coming back this summer and I had a whole slew of...

What I've Been Reading: June/July

Hi! So we're already halfway through 2018 and it's time for our mid-year progress report. How are you doing on your reading challenge so far? As I mentioned, my goal was 50 books and if I'd kept reading at the rate I was back during the winter, I'd have already hit my mark by now. Spring and summer haven't been kind to me, and I've fallen off a lot. I didn't even read anything last month. I'm...

What I've Been Watching: May

Hi! This month I didn't watch too many things so thankfully, this list and my WIBR lists will be blissfully short. A little too short if you ask me, but I digress. This was not one of my better months; whereas March and April were consumed with health issues, May was consumed with personal and family issues. I wasn't in the headspace to do much of anything except put in work and find things that...

What I've Been Reading: April

Hi! As I warned earlier today, I've changed the name of this series and unfortunately, there's not too much on it this month. I started out well enough, but when I started on the last book in the list, I just lost interest in reading anything else. lol I'll get to that later. Next month may not be too much better; I'm about to get pretty busy with a new series you should be seeing this weekend...

What I've Been Watching: April

Hi! This month I have a pretty full list of things to show ya; I was on the mend with my tooth/facial nerve problems for a little while, but mid-month it struck again and I was down for the count, so I had a little time to watch some programs. I also have a couple of shows that are actually rollovers from last month but didn't make the deadline for when I finish these posts, so I just stuck them...

Broken Glass and Spilled Glitter

Say you knock over a bottle of glitter. It's finely milled, so it catches to the air and spreads over a large area in such a short amount of time you don't even realize it at first. The bulk of the glitter is in one concentrated area, so you get that up first and try to put it back in the container. But if you aren't smart with how you do it, you'll end up spilling it again. So you get the majority...

What I Read This Month: March

Hi! So I'm back with our third installment of What I Read This Month. I'm tempted to change the name to WIBR as an add-on to the WIBW series, especially since both posts go up on the same day, but I haven't made up my mind yet. I keep slipping and calling it WIBR so that's probably an indication that I need to change the name. Anyway, since I wasn't much good to anyone for most of the month,...
