If I could improve my home, I'd remodel The front-half and add on a two bdrs.. My dream home would be Mine/hers.

Inspired me to improve.
If I won $100 million, I'd give 05% of it to Feed the Children, 05% to help the Indian Nations poor & elderly,10% in cash to a big steel box with a bottle of wine, then spend the rest on Wife, family and myself.
My current age is 63. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be really old. I was so completely befougled.
Went by the wayside somewhere????
My best friend would tell you I'm dependable, but people who don't know ...Expand for more
me very well would probably describe me as best cop they know.

Frm. Green lgt. shoots.
In 10 years, I hope to be healthy/wealthy. I'm going to get there by being wise.
James (Jim) Rusell Hodge, we just clicked.when we were kids. Now, who knows. He was my 1st and best friend as well as his family.
My first job was at Oddies Pancke House, where I got paid $3.00 hr. to cook. What I remember most about it is Oddie taking a stranger like me in..
Hanging on power lines & Lions Club baseball team. We were(unbeatable)
I always wanted to be a Cop when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a Dumb idea. As it turns out, they were Big time wrong.
Go to my wood shop that is attached to the house.
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have soda pop, symphony music, and be left alone to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Jim Hodge, because best friend when we were kids.
Hatred & life is like a roll of toilet paper.The closer you get to the end of it, the faster it goes!
Police Academy & USMC. Cramped.
My current age is 63. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be exticent. I was so completely wrong.
