What do these people post on Instagram?

My life started out in Tokyo, Japan. I'm what they call a "military brat", my father was in the army and at the time was stationed in Japan. As a kid I've seen different places, Germany and other parts of Europe but eventually the old man got stationed back in the U.S. all over the states...New York, Indiana, Texas and then California.






 According to a new survey, a HUGE number of Americans have barely traveled anywhere.  Check it out . . .


1.  40% have never left the country.


2.  54% have visited less than 10 states.


3.  13% have never been in an airplane.


4.  And 11% have NEVER left their home state.


The survey also found that 76% of people wish they could travel more . . . but 10% are perfectly fine never going anywhere.

Did you hear about the dog that wound up in Japan, instead of Kansas City? Seems an airline passenger was traveling. She got to K.C., but her dog wound up in Japan, while another dog...yup you guessed it, was supposed to go to Japan and wound up ...

Raising Children

Now this is a topic, I don't think there is a right way, or a wrong way. If you have just one child to raise or multiples, you would raise them somewhat differently. If the ages are spread a part, you again may raise them differently. Certainly if one child has special needs, you would raise them differently. Then again, instilling basic fundamental steps is key. Take the newly crowned Masters champion, Patrick Reed. He had his struggles growing up, like any child. Now let's fast-forward to his career as a professional golfer. Somewhere along the way he met his wife, who Mom & Dad dis not approve of. Reed playing the grandest golf tournament of all in his home state of Georgia had his wife by his side. His parents, no where to be seen. You see he has barred them from any tournament he plays. This must be his way of "getting back" to the two who created him, brought him into this world. They raised him. Something went terribly wrong along the way. Truth is, ...
