Want to help me win some money to pay for FET?

I keep saying I have nothing left to say and then I think of something! Anyway, ran across this contest. Winner gets $2500, which would pay for about half of a FET. I figure Owen won’t mind being pimped out to win a sibling. I entered this picture of him. It’s my absolute favorite of [...]

I wasted 4 digital tests this month

because I didn’t plan ahead and buy the internet cheapies. At least the digitals were on sale! Still $5ish per BFN. Next time I’m just going to flush a $5 down the toilet. It goes something like this. Put cap on stick. Watch it for a second. Go do something else for a minute to [...]

Meanwhile, back on the farm

Child #1 continues a long tradition of foiling my efforts to get a cute Halloween picture. This was the best out of 100 shots
