Dear HERSHEY'S Reese's

If you are going to do a promotion with Peanuts and Charlie Brown, you should do some Reese's rocks, as in the "I got a rock". And the Pumpkins should be great pumpkins.

Happy Halloween!

recreating the Doc Bear's Comfort Kitchen app in iOS after a successful build in Android, is so twisted. I feel like I am pleading with the famous Ceiling Cat... I can haz permissions for this, I can haz permissions for that...

It is amusing, but frustrating...

Are you a lefty or a righty...

When it comes to eating hard shell tacos?

I'm a lefty, I tilt my head to the left.

Grilling some ribs and sweet corn for dinner. Will also have a nice side salad as well.

Today was a pretty okay day, but ended more on a sad note than anything. While I was very happy to speak with my only surviving Aunt on my moms side of the family, it was heartbreaking that I had to break the news to her that my sister had passed in November 2021.

Been getting approached by a bunch of accounts that I would consider "scammers" offering to get my Facebook account out of suspension for $100. For one thing, my account is worth $100, and for another, I'm a disabled veteran on a minimal monthly income, so I cannot afford to splurge on frivolities.

I'm a bit frustrated right now. I have been promoting the closed Google Play testing of my new app, Doc Bear's Comfort Kitchen, on Facebook, and I was just suspended for apparently violating community standards dealing with Cyber Security. I have appealed, but seriously, WTF!

It has taken several months of work, but I am finally ready to release my new website, www.patriotthanks.com which is designed to help active-duty military personnel, veterans, first responders, their spouses, and supporters locate local area businesses that offer discounts
