It’s project time! I love this fan. I’ve had it for a long time, and remember it being in my grandmother’s mountain house in Hiawassee, Ga., gently blowing on me as I took a nap with the creek with waterfalls splashing and running outside. She had those white bedspreads with all the nubby little things……
When Victimizers Pretend They’re Victims
There’s been a growing phenomenon in this country, where people who have no ability to reason decide to play the victim in life. But it’s always the EXACT same thing they do to victimize others. Projecting(big time), deflection, whatever you want to call it, would all be correct. Avoidance of responsibility is the goal, while……
Beware of ChatGPT and other AI Models
They will mislead you. Bad. (But not on purpose.) I recently became enamored with AI models for my searches/inquiries, and have all but replaced Google as my primary search engine.

My Journey Back to South Carolina: A Father’s Story
I’m back, baby! After setting this site aside 2 or 3 years ago, I was excited to crank it back up yesterday. I still had everything in the database, too, luckily! I’ve lost years of work on WordPress sites over the years. Gone forever. A lot has changed with WordPress and my daughter’s life in……

Clown World
Here’s where we are as a society. You have a judge, making one parent pay for a parental assessment at no one’s asking but the judge, and the other parent who has control, custody and care of the child has to show no competence. Does that not seem backward? And the punchline is there’s “joint……
