He told me that his wife was backing out of the garage. The mirror on the passenger side got caught on the garage door frame. In being pulled back, the passenger side window exploded into pieces. He said his wife came in the house more scared of him, than upset about the window. He was miffed by that. He saw it as a negative reflection on himself by her and that it was undeserved.

The Massachusetts Department of Children and Families found that their determinations of “child abuse” and “neglect” were being overturned after a hearing half the time. Guess what they did: A. Realized their process for labeling people child abusers was rife with error and fixed it. B. Invented a way to evade the hearings. (After a court saw through DCF’s ploy, the agency started providing the hearings).

Dear Readers, Both Mr. UT and I are getting to what I call, the Middle Age of Old Age! LOL We will be both 70 this summer! YIKES! This might mean we only have, (if everything goes as normal), maybe 10 to 15 years left to live. Some of those years might not be the best in terms of health. Kind of scary if I stop to think about it! In my case so many of my relatives lived to 90 ‘s so that’s even scarier!
