I haven’t been on TikTok much before the “ban” but I don’t know if I will return. For weeks, it had been building up that the social media app would be banned. And for maybe for about 15 hours it was. Pretty much, if you watched all three of the Lord of the Rings ExtendedContinue reading “TikTok Sucks A Cockamamie PR Stunt”

Grand Slam Life For Mr. Baseball
If Major League Baseball had a Rodney Dangerfield, it was Bob Uecker. Despite his self-depreciating humor, he was actually was on the St. Louis Cardinals team when they won the World Series in 1964.

JonBenet Ramsey was only 6 when her body was found in the basement of the Boulder, Colo. house the day after Christmas in 1996. And almost immediately, everyone thought they knew who was responsible.

I’ve had a stomach bug for the last 36 hours and feel I’m on the mends. I just want to wish a Happy Epiphany to those that celebrate as this is the official 12th day of Christmas.
