"Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city." - George Burns
This is why we have an orphan's Christmas
Prior to meeting my wife, for most of my adult life, I hadn’t had Christmas with my family. There were several reasons: When I was at university, I was a casual and Christmas Day paid double time and a half, When I finished university, I joined the police and this meant I was working most holidays, and I was stationed away from my hometown, I have found my family to be painful to be around at Christmas.
With Your Shield!
I’m a really good parent! Well, I do my best. One year, my husband and I thought it important to educate our children about the wide world. So, we saved hard, and then during the school holidays, we took our children to the big smoky city, and in particular to the city's aquarium.

Speechless What’d you say? Our son, who lives three hours away from us had become ill and after one week in the hospital, was for the better part of a month, was bedridden. While his wife worked, his teenage daughter, when she wasn’t in school, took over the household chores. The thirteen-year-old grew up in a heartbeat.

NFL Teams Ranked By How Good Their Name Would Be As A Baby Name
It seems like this time of year the American people have one thing on their minds -- football, specifically the NFL, or National Football League. Now, I don't know much about the NFL but what I do know much about is baby names. I have a personal passion for names, and it seems as the years go by the horizons for what is acceptable to name your child get broader and broader. Here is my opinionated list of how NFL team names would rank as baby names, not including the city precursor, from worst to best.

What does a calculating person look like?
When it comes to calculation, we think of mathematics, arithmetic problems, accounting, product costs and profits, economic revenues, asset planning, and financial management ......
A Place for Everything
(From my Annamaniacs column 2001.) Okay, I admit it. I am the stereotypical woman who knows nothing about cars. I know how to stick a key in the ignition, turn it on and drive it someplace. Frankly that’s all I want to know about cars. As long as it gets me from here to there, I’m happy.

My partner and I have a long and complicated past, made messy with alcohol use disorder on my end, being dishonest/unfaithful and other things neither of us is proud of. We have since addressed and continue to work on our defects of character as they arise. I find myself pretty damn agreeable to most people since I spent 20 years in the service industry and have had my run-ins with assholes, bullies, entitled dickheads and sexist jerks alike.
Author shall remain namelessPublished 2 years ago in FamiliesGrandparents and Grandchildren Conspire
I am still investigating this story. Who is uprooting the authority of the parents in their own household? Who would be so brazen and bold to uproot the natural order of the parental units? Many mothers and fathers have sought asylums in neighboring countries like Mexico and France. Under the pretense of second honeymoons and anniversaries, parents have tried to escape to all-inclusive resorts. Without children without grandparents. Parents seem eager to get away and leave everything. After one week, the parents' request for parental asylum was rejected by the host nation and begrudgingly parents returned to their native country with long faces and regrets. Details are incomplete. My sources have become tight-lip and have recanted their statements. I am still trying to figure out who is the mastermind behind the coup to unseat the parents.

MR JOSEPH CLARKPublished 2 years ago in FamiliesOh no!
Chapter 1 Part I In space your screams will not be heard. My decision to be a passenger on the colonizing ship "Principle 5", does not obey the need to explore new horizons, nor the tendency to create a new civilization, with new rules and virtues. For me, the world with all its defects, is so wonderfully natural, that the effort to change it, exceeds my potential capacities to adapt to any situation, no matter how adverse or unpleasant they may be. But there is one that exceeds my limits of tolerance. My mother in law.
