Blog number 1

I am starting this blog for many reasons.
(1) Facebook does not allow me enough room to rant and vent about many issues that aare sticking in my craw.
(2) As a retired, old man, I find myself with way too much time on my hands and, as I grow older, I find I have way too many things to rant/vent about.
(3) I have one worry in my remaining years: that what I want to say to a lot of people and especially to my family I may just not have that time to do. (Does this make grammatical sense?)
(4) This blog will be receptive to any and all opinions, but I will NOT allow profanity.
(5) I really want to hear from as many people who may want to add opinions, suggest topics, rebutt my statements/opinions/entries or just to tell me I'm full of it!!!!
(6) Do not be afraid of offending me.......my skin is thick, my sense of humor is boundless...I will guarantee you will not hurt my feelings.
(7) A long time ago, I was told never to discuss religion, politics or womens ages.......well, I will and you can too.
(8) Many of my comments/musings/etc., may not make sense to you. This is MY blog..as long as it makes sense to me, I'm happy!!
(9) I am not computer-literate....au contrare.....my daughter is helping me with this set-up. If I decide to post jokes, cartoons, pictures that strike me as interesting, I will (with assistance) do that.
(10) I may add to my blog each day....I may post 10 times a day. Who knows?????
(11) If you enjoy the blog, pass it on to your friends and they may join in the discussions/add their comments, etc. (As long as they don't try to sue me!!!!!!!)
(12) Since I am retired military, I have many friends that shared that life with me. They are sometimes crude, blunt and "don't mince words". In other words, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen". IT'S MY BLOG!!!!!

In closing, I leave you all with unbridled anticipation....hang in there...I can only type so fast.
