Our boy is growing up *wipes tear away* so proud

“The way I’ve been living isn’t sustainable, let’s be real.”

Many of us would have:

I can say we are collectively proud of you, but the journey was just as entertaining for us.

I have a business near Trenton, NJ. Scrapping is basically the local industry (since all the real industry abandoned this place in the 1950s). Whenever we remove large signs or have extra scrap from the new ones we are building, we just put them out back near the dumpsters. We have an agreement with one of the…

This reminds me of the time I came home on a warmish day a little while after a big ice storm. I pulled into the driveway and got out of the car, but something just didn’t feel right. So I got back in and backed out to the end of the driveway. As soon as I put the key in the front door of the house a few hundred…

Considering he ran the wrong way,hesitated, then went for it anyway.

Santa: “Heres the concrete block you wanted for Christmas!”
