Staying strong at the Holidays
Today is Christmas Eve Eve as Eloise says (please God don’t let me be the only guy who knows about Eloise) anyway as we dive straight into Christmas and hours of in laws and/or out laws and diners and presents and bags of wrapping and tags and well you get the idea, I hope that [...]
BIG Challenge coming.
Well as I head into day 4 of my quit, I am heading into a BIG challenge. You see, I have been off work since I quit. Yep, the last day I worked this week I was able to cope with all the stress of my job with the USPS by putting a big ole’ [...]
This is Quits for real!
“Hey, haven’t I been here before?” I keep asking myself that, and the truth is, yes I have. But this time it’s for real, and I mean it. Although I have heard myself say that a lot of times, it HAS to be true this time. I am not getting younger, and realized a long [...]

I don’t mean that in a soft way, we all quit today and if we signed roll we had better be prepared to live up to it. I still remember my first [...]
The Road to Recovery

A Blog About A Dog
A little over two years ago I lost my dog of 11 years. I loved that dog, her loss devastated me, hell I still get a little emotional thinking about her. After all that time and my wife’s persistence I relented and few weeks ago adopted a puppy, she’s a lot of fun, cute as hell and a pain [...]
What it really means to “Man up”
I can say after spending many days on KTC I can say this may be one phrase that ranks in the top 5 of use. I don’t think a quitter who is new to our community doesn’t hear this at least once, “time to man up and get this done.” I can say with almost [...]
