A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS

Image by Balik on Pixabay The Sad Fact About Defective Kidneys In Children    One  thing I hate to see happen is the various health problems that can affect children at a very young age. One issue that came to my attention was kidney disease in a child or young teenager. I mean, they are just starting out in life and facing problems that should be the exclusive domain of an adult.

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, BRAINSTORMING A BUDGET PLAN, BUDGETHOUSE RENOVATOR, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS

Image by SAIYED IRFAN A on Pixabay/ Text by SJKeyChronicles The Aftereffects Of A Recent Hurricane When Hurricane Michael hit the Panhandle of Florida in October of 2018, I feared the integrity of my home would be seriously tested by the anticipated wind gusts for my area. Even though we did have severe conditions and horrific rainfall, there was no resultant damage to my power lines or metal roof. But there could have been. One of my neighbors had a tree fall on the electrical service lines […]

RECONSTRUCTION ERA CHICKEN STEW WITH A ROUX

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, MY COUNTRY COOKING DIARIES

  What You Got In The House? I decided on the very day that I wrote this blog that I wanted some comfort food. I had been subjecting my stomach to three straight days of either spaghetti and meatballs with tomato based sauce or a meatball sandwich with the same. That much acidic infiltration into my intestines made me feel somewhat uncomfortable, to say the least. I had been avoiding those types of meals for so long that I had the misguided impetus to give them a […]

Sad State Of Affairs My son Eric, who used to own a computer repair shop in Canton, New York, headed up the acquisition of a new laptop computer for me in the year 2010, and I have been using it for the last 10 years. He was able to get a good deal for me for about $700 back then. The only major improvements he made to it in that span of time was to upgrade the RAM and Hard Drive when the original parts became obsolete. […]

IGNACIO NACHOS TO GO

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, MY COUNTRY COOKING DIARIES

Birthdom I read in a narrative I gleaned from Wikipedia that Nachos originated in the city of Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, just over the border from Eagle Pass, Texas. In 1943, the famished wives of U.S. soldiers stationed at Fort Duncan in Eagle Pass were in Piedras Negras on a shopping trip and arrived at the Victory Club Restaurant (Later confirmed by the creator to be the El Moderno restaurant in Piedras Negras) after it had closed for the day. The Maître d’Hôtel,  Ignacio “El Nacho” Anaya Garcia, stepping in for the cook […]

My First Car When I was 16 years old, I had just recovered from a horrific car accident in Mississippi (Mississippi Death Road) that came close to ending my life. Santa Monica, California was our next residential pit stop and you don’t get around there without some type of transportation for yourself. The crux of the matter was, my parents were not excited about me owning my own vehicle as a result of that accident. The local high school would not be a candidate for my senior […]

A PARODY OF THE ICONIC HALLMARK ROMANCE MOVIE: FLIP SIDE ROMANCE

A HYBRID COUNTRY LIFE, LIFE HACK RAMBLINGS, MY LEARNING TO WRITE FILES

My First Movie Script This blog is sort of a sequel to one that I wrote about Hallmark Christmas movie offerings entitled “The Iconic Hallmark Christmas Movie”. Since it was a satirical look at the typical plot engendered by Hallmark to celebrate romantic endeavors during the Christmas Holiday  season, I thought it would be interesting to create an antithesis plot in contrast to the way they envision love stories during the rest of the year. “MY PARODY OF THE ICONIC HALLMARK ROMANCE MOVIE: FLIP SIDE ROMANCE” So […]
