Life as a British subject and research into navigable northern waterways, added to the command of English, made the editing contributions of Red_sky_reader not only masterful but also indispensable. Tremendous gratitude to blackRandi1958, winner of the 2017 editor of the year award, who not only fixed some errors but also added a bit of magic that will imme...
All in the family Bablee and Adrian were talking about school, and Jimmy told them about his job. He told them to stay in school as long as possible, because work sucked. Bablee giggled over this, as she was twenty-six and shouldn't have been sent back to high school. A woman in the corporation had mistaken her for her husband's niece, and thought she was...
They have airplane simulators to test out who is good pilot material, don't they? So why not a simulator to test out who is good marriage material? At least that's the question that I asked myself after I went through my second divorce of a cheating husband at the ripe old age of twenty seven. Both James and Trent seemed like great guys who were in love wit...
When the critical part of my story starts, I was 30 years old, married to the love of my life, Nancy, who was 32, we had two lovely daughters five and six years old, and we had been married for eight years. I remember complimenting myself on the good decisions that I made in life. This included who I selected as friends in high school and college, the colleg...
The next week was a quiet one as far as having females in my life was concerned. All the girls had gone back to school so it was pretty much work, go home, watch some TV and read books. It did not come as a surprise when Gloria ("I'm coming home every weekend from now on") didn't show up, but I was kind of surprised when Sarah didn't, especially after tellin...
My story so far: Flying to the Caribbean to watch part of the England cricket tour of the West Indies I had entered into conversation with my seated partner Julie. Chaperoning her much younger sister Sara, elsewhere in the plane, Julie was not so interested in the sport but more in getting time away from her errant husband, and intent upon visiting a previo...
Apologies to all. I haven't written anything for quite awhile...at least since my recent open heart surgery. I had many things rattling around within this dusty brain pan, and writing, I'm afraid, was near the bottom of the list. I want to thank those of you that have sent me praise and, of course, constructive criticism. I have taken up the pen, or keyboa...
John I never had a clue. I have been married for thirty years and it never occurred to me that my wife might be unfaithful but there it was, a photo in my office mail of her with a cock in her mouth looking up at the camera. The picture had evidently been taken by the guy she was blowing. It broke my heart and I couldn't understand how or why she was doing...
So that's what got me to this point. And that's why I blame Gina. She brought Tom into my life, she pushed him at me (and probably pushed him towards me, only more subtly), and she's the reason everything is all messed up right now. Now? Well, it's about 24 hours since Tom kissed me, a stretch of time spent freaking out, panicking, soul-searching, crying, re...
Somewhere, probably while I was still in high school, I decided I wanted to be rich. Would be rich. Life would be better with money. And then later, at some time, I figured out that the way to riches was through stocks or bonds. People in that business all have money. The fact that I was poor and had no knowledge of stocks and bonds was no deterrent. To get...
