To Hear Me Tell It

Send us Fan Mail I've come to the conclusion that all TV Commercials have followed my generation.  From toys, cars, tools, beer, liquor, dog food, guns, sodas  and cereals, all have now gone to limp peckers, dry vaginas, leaking bladders, flaking toenails, loss of hair, bad hips/knees/back, poor eye sight, poor hearing, no energy, to bad smelling butt crack.   What in the world has our societ...

Send us Fan Mail Has Americans lost their damn minds?  What would Lewis Grizzard say?  A damn Flu like virus that was cooked up and leaked from a lab in China with known ties to the CCP, the WHO and yes, even the US CDC, using US Tax Dollars to conduct "Gain of Function" testing and experimenting, causes a majority of "sheep" in America to run scared with little faith in God an...

Send us Fan Mail Life is indeed about learning.  Sometimes we learn early, and sometimes not so early in life.  Some folks marry five or more times before they figure out they are really bad at picking a mate.  Some folks buy a lot crap they don't need, and never figure it out. Me, well I've made my share of really big mistakes, especially when it comes to buying something I thought my w...

Send us Fan Mail Did the Civil Rights movement miss the whole concept that it comes with a component of Equality?  Did someone purposely leave out that part?  Did someone fail to share that living in a civil society actually requires civil obedience?  And, that to demand equal rights means too that it comes with equal responsibility and accountability. One cannot demand equal rights without accept...

Send us Fan Mail Baby Boomers,.....those born between 1946 to 1964.  We are blessed to have been born and raised in a time when there was no cell phones, internet, and no cable TV.  We spent a great deal of time outdoors with our friends.  We played hard, and we fought hard. Playing "Kick the Can" was without doubt one of the greatest games ever invented, and we played it often.  The Dun...

Send us Fan Mail The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, first published on 19 December 1843, the old Black & White film released in 1938 was a true American Classic, and it was this movie that prompted me to do this episode. The movie got me thinking, what would my life had been had Daddy not survived his battle with a brain tumor in 1968?  Who would have been my father figure?  Who might hav...

Send us Fan Mail Historians are a dime a dozen, and they’ve got opinions just like everyone else.  Reading facts, then interpreting them lends to cloudy accounts, thus the truth be told often ain't the truth at all.  Yes indeed, there are many accounts of battles that are said to have saved America during her fight to not only gain, but to hold on to her liberty.  George Washington was withou...

Send us Fan Mail Definition of INSANE as an adjective is:  "in a state of mind which prevents normal perception, behavior, or social interaction; seriously mentally ill, a.k.a. madness. Yes sir, we have an abundance of Insanity in our Country.  No matter the BS fade, Transgender, Climate Change / Global Warming, Pronouns, Binary, Porn, the US Border Invasion or emails Spams with "Unsubsc...

Send us Fan Mail From long hair, to massive afros, to platform shoes to bell bottoms, from mini skirts to leisure suits, our culture continues to dive deeper in a pit of utter social decay. Apparently the style today is;  do everything and go everywhere in your damn pajamas and slippers.  And too, wear your pants off your butt. I'm glad Mama and Daddy ain't here to see this crap.   

Send us Fan Mail I thank God Mama and Daddy aren't alive to see all that's come.  I can only imagine what Sandy Harris and Clearance Mathis must think.  I pray daily for our children and grandchild. American has become the enemy of Liberty and Freedoms.  Fools have elected (installed) Godless criminals to sit in the seats of the Halls of Congress that feast at the tables of unlimited cre...

Send us Fan Mail Today's modern Cellphone (a.k.a. Telephone) has become the greatest advancement to mankind, all the while serving as the largest downfall to our human society.  God must be so sad to see how all the good that man created that opened new doors for evil to invade so many lives. It's a telephone, a messaging device, camera, video camera, data storage, super computer, financ...

Send us Fan Mail A fella can learn a whole lot in the military service.  Really important stuff like: how to dress properly, fold your clothes, make your rack, be at your appointed place of duty at the appointed time.  Place "Attention to Details" above all else.  Work as a Team, and never lose sight of the mission of the command.  Follow "lawful" orders, and strive to be the v...

Send us Fan Mail Thanksgiving is many things to many people.  American has a long tradition, and many cultures celebrate Thanksgiving in a host of ways.  Traditions can become watered down and fade with time.  And our Thanksgiving in America is not immune to the fact.   To fully understand and appreciate Thanksgiving, one would do well to study "world" history, and laid good attention to...

Send us Fan Mail Estate Sales can become addictive if a fella ain't careful.  Yes sir, before one knows it, they be done bought their fifth treadmill knowing full well they ain't never used the first one.  Indeed;  treadmills, weight sets, exercise bikes, and a Bow-Flex, they can all follow you home before you realize it.   That said, a person can grab some really good buys on tools, and...

Send us Fan Mail Sure is a lot of unrest today.  What would Tom Giles been saying?

Send us Fan Mail Insurance and Lawyers are worthless until you need them.  And the Insurance Industry is the only entity that can openly discriminate based on statistical data, whether it be age, sex, life-style, race, etc., they can adjust and/or base the premium solely based upon predictable outcomes. Why the hell has my premiums (auto) gone up again?  Damn 26.75% increase with zero explanation....

Send us Fan Mail I regret not talking more to Mama and Daddy about our past.  The why's and why not's? How come, and when?  The details of our family past which are now spotted with blanks and gaps I'll never be able to fill in. In our family past, there was a brief period of time when we lived in McRae Ga, and Daddy either owned or just operated the Cook's Superette.  It was h...

Send us Fan Mail Mama used to say: "if fifty youngons was playing, you're gonna be the one get hurt."  She was right most of the time, on account I took a lot of risk, as trial and error was a good classroom and a very effective way of learning. Looking back now, I bet Mr. and Mrs. Brown felt bad.  Poor Mama got all banged up running up the sidewalk (for reasons she never could expl...

Send us Fan Mail Growing up, we spent more time with school teachers than we did with our parents.  And the fact of the matter is:  Teachers are in the position to make an impression upon what is a "captive audience."  Believe me when I tell you, a many of teachers most certainly make an impression upon me.  The world needs more Dwight Harris' Jack McGlaun's, Everett Byrd'...

Send us Fan Mail The 60's and 70's brought us many things.  Elvis, Tom Jones, long hair, platform shoes, bell-bottoms and some other really really bad fashion movements the nation has known.  But we sure as hell didn't wear our pants down past our ass-checks. Food Service Industry was moving at a rapid pace, and the engineering advancements with flash-freezing and freeze drying open...

Send us Fan Mail I have  a laundry list of hobbies I've tried my hand at.  From building model cars and airplanes, to woodworking, to even getting my pilot's license.  Yep, I even went to get my HVAC Certification, and dabbled in troubleshooting and repairing Refrigerators, Freezers and home and automobile air conditioners.  Hell, I continue to make the effort of growing vegetables, and...

Send us Fan Mail The language and phrases, the terms, and terminology used by the US Navy stems from a host of other Navies.  Whether it be British, Spanish, Portuguese or German, the US Navy is packed with a language of its own.  From Chit,  Bootlegger, Coxswain or Boatswain, Belay or Avast, a Fathom or a Bitter End, or going to Davy Jones' Locker for stepping on someone's Brightwork, t...

Send us Fan Mail Daddy wasn't much in the way of teaching me life skills that I found myself having to learn.  A many of what I consider "basic" DIY stuff; e.g. putting air in or changing a tire on an automobile.  How to check and refill basic fluids such as Oil, Water, Washer Fluid, or Transmission / Brake fluids.  Replacing a car battery.  Repairing or replacing a toilet, fixing a...

Send us Fan Mail Fish stories and tells can become exaggerated over time.  But this one is truly a "no-shitter."  My great friend Timmy Dowd from the US Navy took me and another fella Ice Fishing in the winter of 1985, and what a lesson I learned. Didn't need all the warm clothes like I figured.  Didn't bring enough food or the right food, beer would have been better than whisk...

Send us Fan Mail For the most part, I'm proud of my Navy Career.  I was blessed to have had the privilege to serve along side the best our Nation has to offer in the way of brave men and women who served with honor. However, there are parts of my past I'm not so proud of, but do make for a good story looking back.  Yes sir, I was indeed a Sailor to the core, and when it came to drinking...
