The Brothers Twofer Back in the years of 1985/86 I had the fortune of employing 2 brothers at different times who were marvelous gentlemen to work with. Having met them at Bethel Baptist Church in Harbor Gateway (Los Angeles), California while living in the area, I was inspired by their work ethic and devotion to completing the tasks at hand. The first one that I hired, Mark Cayot, not only impressed me, but also one of my clients, an engineer for Northrop Grumman Aerospace Corporation (B2 Flying […]

MY IPAD AIR TIPS AND TRICKS

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS

Ipad IOS Apple has made a big change by splitting the IOS operating systems into iOS for iPhones and iPadOS for the latest iPad offerings. As a result of this change, there are now some iPad-specific functions tablet owners should know about. Since there are lots of functions that only work with the larger screen, that separate code would be taking up space on iPhones for functions that are only feasible for use on iPads. With that in mind, I discuss here some tips and tricks I […]

THE CASE FOR GREEN TEA

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS, MY COUNTRY COOKING DIARIES

Overview Of Caffeine’s Effects On The Body I am not a coffee drinker. Millions of people are and probably feel they can only get by with at least one cup first thing in the morning. That is to say, without their morning coffee, they might struggle to wake up or even make it through the day! But while dependency on coffee, and the big dose of caffeine that it provides, is a somewhat worrying thing for me, I have valid concerns as well. According to a report […]

The Setting This article is about a tale that should have been written years ago, but because of the callous nature of one detached husband, it wasn’t penned. It’s about a wife who felt that she couldn’t share her deepest feelings with him at a time when she needed it most. Now, some 40 plus years later, the time has come. The story goes hand in hand with two other articles written over 2 years ago. They describe the ordeal of dealing with a newborn child who […]

Blood Tests Don’t Lie I recently had my yearly blood test done and discovered my current diet is sending me backwards.

Since writing the last blog concerning my dietetic maneuvers entitled “THE OUT OF BOUNDS COUNTRY DIET: PART II”, I have failed to keep track of my progress on the bathroom scale and my diet has […]

INSPIRATIONAL LIFE OUTTAKES, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS, MY LEARNING TO WRITE FILES

If I Were Alive Back Then When I watch movies or documentaries about the Civil War, I rarely see much that deals with the Reconstruction Period that took place afterwards.

Very little is said about the trials and tribulations that everyone else went through at that time. Since I was born in the South, I guess I could think of myself as a […]

HUNTING FOR SPORT TO ANIMAL ADVOCATE

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, INSPIRATIONAL LIFE OUTTAKES, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS

Kid Hunter I remember when I lived in California as a youth, I would often go hunting with my dad up to the northern part of the State for game like wild ducks, pheasants, quail and such. For my weapon of choice, he bought me a 4-10 shotgun which could fire only one shell at a time before requiring me to reload. It was a Christmas present and I cherished it, not only because it was my first weapon, but also because he allowed me to have […]
