id get some new lenses in my eyes to fix the Glaucoma that was caused by the medication. Now I don't need glasses to read or see far... better than Lasix.
I have 9 granchildren.... 4 girls and 5 boys.
We also have a very smart dog named Annie. she is a Coton De Telear. She knows lots of cool tricks and has me trained very well.
I always wanted to be a time traveler when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a weird idea. As it turns out, they were right.
I doubt very many people will remember me from High School. I don't even remember me. I always kept a low profile and often suffered from invisibility. Ok, I was the skinny blonde haired guy, often got in trouble in class for teling lame jokes.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Brett Sullivan, because he is a great friend from the past.
Hypertension is hereditary, you get it from your kids.
Which teacher would you love to see again? Terry Ekbert.... he was a science teacher, he had a rattle snake in an old TV case that he kept in class. He was funny.
I thought I wanted a career, ends up all I wanted was a pay check.
My best friend would tell you I'm funny, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as dull, boring and omnipresant. .
My first job was at Macey's market, where I got paid $1.60 hr to bag groceries. What I remember most about it is the people I worked with were fun. .
