New used pieces..

 I like playing chess and have many boards available to me here at home, but most of my playing pieces are glass or acrylic and somewhat fragile and get chipped easily.. so when Deb came across these rather large and nice looking wood pieces at a Goodwill store, I had to snatch them up.. One or two of the pieces look like they were the dogs toy or something but mostly they are in good shape and serve the purpose. I particularly like the two toned wood pieces. Now I just need to find me a chess player....lol.

Big and little brother..

 

They decided to pay us a visit the other day. Both the big guy and the smaller/ little bro. He has been visiting the bank a lot as of late, him and a crapload of turtles, Usually see no less than 4-6 up on the banks over the  past couple days. These are not the young little ones either these are the 2 1/2-3 footers sunbathing. Don't know what is keeping them out of the water, but enjoy seeing them show up.

My working desktop

 

      

Ever wanted a customized desktop layout for your PC? Tired of looking at just the standard backgrounds and icons? Let me customize one for you and your needs/convenience. I have been customizing my own now for a couple years. I can customize your icons, colors, backgrounds, and help you add many convenient sections/widgets that you use everyday. Any image, color text, etc. If you are interested in having me take your desktop to a new level and meaning. This would also require clear concise info and images that you may want or require. So there will be several communications between us. For more info or ??'s hit me up, and lets give your desktop an entirely new look. I will also provide whatever assistance I can to you in setting it up and getting it functional. Below is a sample of my current desktop. This is my Stereo Version.. pay no mind to the sound...lol. crappy speakers and an echo as I am on the back porch.. but as you can see, I have everything I need right on the desktop, music info, visualizer, weather, date/time custom icons, FB messenger links and more...

Slacking off..

 

Been busy as of late, and the yardwork / maintenance has been neglected some. This dang palm is the vein of my existence.. Looks like it could have used a good trimming awhile ago. Seem like I have to do this a couple times a year as apposed to annually.

It gets to the point where you actually have to duck to avoid getting slapped by the leaves due to the droop, and those seed pods are a real pain in the arse when they start dropping all over the place, that and the bush at the side of the garage as well.  Thinking its time for the second cutting and possibly a good time to also pressure wash the drive and pavers as they are starting to look a bit grungy again. I will have to see if I can borrow Brandon's pressure washer at some point, it wouldn't hurt to do the back porch as well. Between the dirt, pet hair, etc.. it needs a good cleaning. A good fall cleaning is in order..lol.

Beyond belief..

 

 

How does a 30+ y/o man (boy) manage to live a life of such recluse and carelessness. This is a southern born and bred individual that was supposedly raised with manners and respect.? What a friggin joke. I am so beyond pissed off at him right now,. words escape me. His idea of moving out was to just grab a couple handfuls of items and leave the rest of the squalor as it was. Mind you this was used as his office space, he spent the majority of all his time in here doing God knows what, but cleaning definitely wasn't it. He worked here, and basically just played computer games his entire existence while living under our roof. This was not a sudden "get out" situation, he knew well over week ahead of time that he would be leaving and he couldn't be bothered to even attempt to clean the room, instead "Expecting" that his wife or we would just deal with it. This has been the pattern for the past few years and it finally became to much to deal with on the whole.

On the daily we have requested that dishes and silverware, etc. be brought down so it could be washed and re-used as every mealtime we are scrounging for suitable items for meals.. I now know where it all ended up. At least half of our storage containers are sitting there in a stack and just getting grosser by the day, along with the silverware, etc.

We have sat here on the daily watching our daughter do her her best to be a devoted and loving individual toward this man, waiting on him hand and foot, doing her best to work and provide income for their living expenses and all he does is take, take, and take more and has barely ever done a thing, especially when it come to the household and living arrangements. We have tried our best, collectively to get him to communicate with us regarding finances, work plans, living plans, and so much more and we get nothing or he tries to flip it to someone elses responsibility. Its all about him, a true narcissist.

Enough is enough, time to go... I feel for our daughter, but one cannot accept the behavior and the constant barrage of disrespect that comes from him. Time for some accountability, I know we will never receive the financial aspects of our arrangements that had been made so many times, I can live with that, but we refuse to tolerate it any longer.

Ok, I could drag this on, but suffice to say, good riddance in my opinion.. Now maybe our daughter and we can move on with our lives and hopefully she will again find some peace and happiness and mature to the person she can be without the weight of carrying his sorry ass any longer.
