My latest projects

Posted on March 29, 2012 by tiggermn

I have been avidly knit­ting for about a year now…and I love it! It is so fun dis­cov­er­ing new pat­terns, deci­pher­ing them and pick­ing the yarn to use and mak­ing some­thing use­able or fun. My lat­est projects have been knit­ted “Mon­sters” and … Con­tinue read­ing →

My Name is Bert…and I am a Cord Cutter

Posted on February 17, 2012 by tiggermn

Not many peo­ple know that Amy and I are “cord cut­ters”. My father and I had this con­ver­sa­tion last night and a friend of mine just posted a sur­vey on face­book whether to get cable or dish.

And it Burns, Burns, Burns.…

Posted on January 5, 2012 by tiggermn

So I real­ized recently that I never made a blog post about the fire that hap­pened behind our house. Mobile home fires are com­mon, but this was the first time it was so very close to us…and the first time … Con­tinue read­ing →

And then, THAT happened…

Posted on November 22, 2011 by tiggermn

Tonight I blacked out and fell. Only the sec­ond time in my life. First time was after my wis­dom teeth surgery and I smacked my jaw on the bath­room counter on my way down. Tonight was also in the bath­room (I think there’s … Con­tinue read­ing →

Posted on October 7, 2011 by tiggermn

I saw this over at a blog that my friend from school hosts (which is always an inter­est­ing read, since she lives in the Mar­shall Islands! And her daugh­ter is just too cute for words, always look­ing for­ward to see­ing … Con­tinue read­ing →

You Gain when you Lose

Posted on August 23, 2011 by tiggermn

So, I’ve noticed some­thing with Amy’s and my weight loss. We’ve become closer. (Not that we weren’t close before.) I don’t know if its because we are doing this together, or if there is some­thing else going on, but we … Con­tinue read­ing →

My Weight Lost Experience

Posted on July 17, 2011 by tiggermn

I have had a lot of peo­ple ask me if Slim­gen­ics really works, is it expen­sive and a bunch of other ques­tions, so I thought I would address them in one place, so I don’t have to repeat myself too … Con­tinue read­ing →

Blood is NOT thicker than water…

Posted on July 8, 2011 by tiggermn

I got enough name call­ing, and abuse from school, my home should have been a safe haven…and it wasn’t. My mother tried all she could to pro­tect me, and she taught me the value of love and treat­ing peo­ple fairly. For that I am eter­nally grateful…with that I can end the dreaded cycle of abuse and make sure my own chil­dren NEVER go through what I did. Con­tinue read­ing →

Look on the bright side…

Posted on June 1, 2011 by tiggermn

Dream Home…Xanadu

Posted on May 23, 2011 by tiggermn

I’ve men­tioned this in blog posts before, but I fell in love with Xanadu homes (bub­ble look­ing shotcrete-styrofoam homes that were futur­is­tic) that were in tourist traps like Gatlin­burg, the Dells and Florida.
