''Accomplished'' posted on 09/12/2009
What a productive day! I fixed the neighbors car, cleaned the garage, practiced Veternary Science on one of my wifes chickens and I think I may have saved it's life but will know more in the morning, did laundry, cleaned house, installed new extra bright back up lights on my truck and took my wife and daughter out for dinner.
Tommorrow I am getting the snow plow out and getting it ready for winter, an I am building an addition on my shed to put my lawn equipment in for the winter, and I am going to take apart my lawnmower and serviceit for next year.
oh yea, and I played farmville way too much in between all of that stuff above.
I feel pretty damn good!

''College'' posted on 08/27/2009
Well everyone,
Stephanie is off to College. If anyone wants her address, e-mail me and I will send it to you in private. I am sure she will like the growing up part of being away from her mother and I. Send her a good luck card or something. There is nothinglike getting a hand written letter or card in your very own mail box.
I don't think the empty nest has hit us yet because we have so much to do. But, when it comes to missing her, I know that her mother and I both miss her very much and it has only been one day.
I am going to try and write here everyday again. but we will see how that goes...

''Money'' posted on 6/11/2009
I just hate being broke all the time.

Well, the graduation is over...and it is kinda a relief...and kinda a bummer. I am being forced to let my baby leave. I don't know if I am ready, but I am sure she is. Hahahaha. She is a very strong young woman and I am very proud to have her be my daughter. I love you Stephanie.

''A Poem For My Daughter'' posted on 05/29/2009
A Poem For My Daughter
18 years ago I started out without a plan,
The blank pages before me I wrote with a busted pen.
Who would have thought such great things would illuminate from me,
I have not only a son who bears my name but a daughter named Stephanie.
She started out afraid of life I think in her first school year,
She bravely headed to her class and didn’t shed a tear.
She hardly said a word in class unless she was directed,
Now she leads her friends and peers she is so well respected.
If only I could bottle up the things we said and did,
And sell it to the world to read and teach to all their kids.
Then I would be a rich man with lots of money and ex-wives,
Who did not understand the wealth of the memories I’ve saved through life.
There’s only one thing left to teach before I hand her my busted pen,
You don’t have to have a laid out plan just turn the page and begin.
I love you,
Dad

I do love you honey. I am happy that you have not smoked in such a long time. They will figure out what is wrong with your head an it will be better. It just has to be. I love you...
Gary Consford Sr
''Feeling'' posted on 05/20/2009
Okay today I feel much better as far as being a non-smoker goes. I really want to findout why my head is all messed up. there has to be something wrong in there....so I am going for another catscan of my skull to see if I can find a problem with my brain...three weeks ago I hit myself in the head and caused a mild con. every since then I have had blurry vision in the right eye and bad headaches that sometimes last all day,
I will keep you all posted here I think.

goodnight

''Don't Feel'' posted on 05/18/2009
I have been in pain for so long that I really just can not feel anymore...I know that my tollerance is high...so when I need a damn vicoden 4 times a day...Hello!!!something is wrong.
I had an ultra sound today and it came back negative for a cyst...the spot the cat scan showed was an enlarged lymph node. Don't know why it is enlarged but when it swells I am usually stressed out to the max...or just really tired.
I quit smoking 8 days ago and I really just want to keep busy until all this stress goes daon and I can feel better.
thats all for today. I really "Don't Feel" like writing tonight.
P.S. I love my wife, my kids, and my animals...

''Day 5 Smoke Free'' posted on 05/16/2009
Well I have ended day 5 and moved on to day 6 it was a hard day today. Still I want to smoke but would settle for other bad habbits if I could.
I tried to keep myself somewhat busy these last few days...but it is hard to do.
I hurt my head three weeks ago. Yesterday and last night my head hurt extreamly bad. I have an ultra sound scheduled for monday. I hope they find something, but then again I don't. I want these headaches to go away, but I am scared of what they are going to find.
If they find something bad, I am just going to live with it. I want my daughter to go to school and finish and have a great life. I don't want any medical problems I have interfering with her dreams, I won't let them...
I guess if they find something bad, I won't need to quit smoking...but until I find out, I will keep on keeping on

''Day 4 smoke free'' posted on 05/15/2009
Well it is day 4 Smoke free!
I find it funny how my mind is constantly trying to justify reasons why I should smoke...when really, it is probably the worst thing I could do right now,
even after 5 years all it would take is one puff and I would be hooked again. I say this because it is what happenendd to me the last time I had quit for almost 5 years...
This time I have learned my lesson and If I can past the first few days I should be alright....
I tried to not wear a patch this morning. I noticed that when I sleep with a patch on I dream about fire...like my friends on fire but still they talk to me...maybe it is a vision of Hell although I think we all live in hell and when we die...well that will be heaven...no more pain and suffering...
I am going to enjoy what I can while I am here. although I do feel rather depressed today...
what will I do with my life...
random thoughts fly around in my head sometimes and I just can not seem to focus...
I want to build an awesome database for starters and alternators....and thier parts...
thanks
for

Well it is the start of day 3 without smokes. it has been hard at times but tonight I really feel depressed. I really don't think anyone loves me anymore...well except for me...I wonder why I am quitting? when I am sure that my family would be better off without me living. I should just smoke myself to death.
Well I better go to bed before I go do something stupid...
goodnight

''Repairs'' posted on May 4th, 2009
Again today I am fixing another damn car that some other hacker tech has worked on before me. Why do guys these guys get in such a hurry and hook an important wire like the body ground to an insulated bolt?
It took me a couple of hour to trace this down and fix...
glad I am getting paid for someone elses mistake I guess
have a great day,

''Busy'' posted on 03/24/2009
Not here in a long time. I actually see the page everyday, but could not log on. So today I just re-registered. Very busy time coming up.
Gary Jr. is getting married on June 13,2009 and Steph is graduating high school on May 29. I have a very busy spring ahead of me.
Also, I am looking forward to getting some chicks. One or more of my chickens now is feasting on the fresh eggs. That is not a very good thing, as I do not know which ones are feasting. Sounds like it is time for chicken cam in the nest box. (I don't really think Gary will do that for me) it is pretty dusty down there.
I will try to at least update once a week. I do have new grandson too. He is adorable.

''Paw Paw Chamber Dinner'' posted on October 21st 2008
Well it has been forever since I have written in this site. so let me update you on a few things.
1st I am going to be a grandpa! MY son and his girlfriend Vanessa are going to have a baby. They are due on December 27th 2008. They are going to have a boy and they are still trying to decide a name for him. I am going to call him lil "G"
My son will become Med "G" and I will remain Big "G" HAHA Just Kidding. They will decide a great name for him I am sure.
Tonight we were invited to a dinner hosted by the Paw Paw Chamber of Commerce. I had been told I was nominated for the 2008 volunteer of the year. Little did I know that I had won and was awarded a very nice plaque and a certificate from the State Of Michigan.
I feel awesome that after only 4 years of being a 4H leader, that the extension office would pick me out of 180 some volunteers to give an award to. The funny thing is, I never even knew that people were awarded anything for what I do. I just love making the kids happy and keeping them safe.
Have a great night
I know I will

''Monday'' posted on 8/18/2008
Good Morning,
It is Monday and I am in so much pain I can n ot think straight. I don't know why my side always hurts but they have removed everything I think.
I guess I should go to the doctor but everytime I do it is 5 days wasted lying on my back in the hospital all drugged up. I guess I will not complain today...
My daughter had an awesome weekend at State. She got a first place in Obedience a 2nd place in rally-o and a 6th place in freestyle and 2nd place in team. She is really liking the freestyle and her personality is chaging as she gets older and she seems to be fitting right in.
I don't think she appreciates everything her mother and I sacrifice so that she can do all this fun stuff but maybe someday she will when she grows up and has her own kids.
Well I better head off to work before I decide not to go.
love you all

''WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?'' posted on 8/14/08
I saw this somewhere on the net and thought it was funny enough to post.
WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realise that he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road before he goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road. What we need to do is help him realise how stupid he's acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding 'NEW' problems.
OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either with us or against us. There is no middle ground here.
COLIN POWELL: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.
DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain. Alone.
GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together, in peace.
ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2007, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your chick book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of eChicken. This new platform is much more stable and will never cra...#*&&^(C% ........ reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?
COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?

''life'' posted on 8/4/08
Life has a funny way of getting to you sometimes. My cousin Jeff, who I have not seen since I was a very little boy, is dieing. My mother sent me a picture of him today and he looks so bad. Why didn't I keep in touch all these years? why have I lost toouch with all of my family?
seems to me that you forget that time is slipping past us faster than we realize and then you never get to say goodbye, and you ever get that one last hug, and you never get to say I love you ever again.
I will praying for Jeff, and I hope all of you will join me when I ask you to do the same. No matter what you believe in, There is always a prayer that could be said, or read, or just thought of.
Jeff,
I love you
I hope you get better soon my friend,
take care of yourself

''Anniversary and State Award'' posted on 3-28-08
Okay, so thisblog won't be very long, but today is mine and Steven's 8 month aniversary...yay us!!! Okay, but the real news is I got my State Award back and...I got in!!! Two judges judged them and I got a 146 out of 150, and a 150 out of 150!!! I am so happy. I can't wait for June to come. There are 10 people in my class and so I probably won't get it, but that's not going to stop me from trying my hardest, in fact it puts even more determination in me.
Love Always,

''My Falty Promises'' posted on 3-24-08
I always say I'll keep you posted, yet I never do. I never have much to write, or else I am just so annoyed with the computer at that point that I really don't feel like typing. Maybe my dad will get my debate thing up so that you could read my debates. Maybe we could even get video and we could do like a video blog debate thing. I don't know, but that would be really cool. I love writing debates, but I am out of my AP class now, so I don't get to write debates anymore. Anyways, I am going on a Toronto trip in November of this year and I am going to need some money. If anyone is willing to donate or if you live close I will earn the money any way I can. I am going to need the help if you can afford it. Please! Anyways, I also just got done writing an application to go to Washington DC. I really want to go and I hope that I get it because it is an all expense paid trip plus $100 spending money which will be so cool. I am so excited. Also prom is coming up and I am going to see if I cna find a prom dress. I know I am running so late, but I better late than never I guess. okay, I guess I'll leave you guys alone for now. Who knows, maybe next time I'll do a video update...
Love you All

''Long Time No Write'' posted on 3-10-08
Hey, I haven't written in a while and I am sorry, but it is so hectic here. I just got done with final exams and I think I did alright, but I haven't gotten all my scores back yet. I also had the Auction on Saturday and I think it went alright too. Can't wait for next year. I also got in 5 hours of community service that day, so awesome. Today I has the blood drive at our school and it went really good too. I hope the NHS has that many volunteers next year, but nothings set in stone. If I am the only one next year, then that is really going to suck. I also hope that I'm not the only Junior. That would really suck too. I gave blood too, but it didn't go so well. I got really hot...like the kind of hot you get when you are just about to vomit. I didn't get light headed or dizzy, but I felt like crap for awhile there. But I'm all better now. I am actually heading to a meeting right now. I have to go show my presidential duties of my 4-H group. I really have to go now... sorry for making this so short. I'll keep you posted!!
Love Always,

What an interesting couple of days...
My grandma is sick and I am not sure how she is doing.
My brother N Law is in the hospital and I was supposed to stop by and see him tonight and had to work late.
One of the guys I work with got hit in the mouth today and had to go to the ER when a prybar slipped and hit him in the mouth.
We are very busy at the shop and now I am down a tech who has some pretty important cars torn apart ready for re-assembly.
I am really looking forward to Friday!!!
I am praying for everyone and I hope you are all okay.
Mom, I am glad you found the site and signed up. I hope you keep posting it really is nice communicating with you again.

This is a sad time for our family. Mom, Jo Eggers, has been diagnosed with a return of her cancer and Dad, Hank Eggers, is still recovering from his stroke of July 2006. They were very glad to get your card. Mom is having a consultation on March 6th to determine her treatment options and she will be having surgery on March 14th. Keep her in your prayers. I wish you all lived closer so we could get family hugs a little more often. Life is too short. We miss you. The summer that Steffie and Little Gary came down was a special blessing. Hope we can do that again.

''College'' posted on 2/26/2008
I have been so worried about college fees lately that I hardly sleep. Last nights trip to the high school to learn more about what to expect in the coming years did not help matters any.
I do not know how I will ever get my daughter through college, but I guess I will just have to follow the steps that the counsler showed us and hope for the best.
She will go to collage and she will get what she deserves out of life, even if I have to sell my farm to do it. I love my daughter and I am so proud of her success so far. We found out last night that she is ranked #1 out of all the students in the school....Yahooo I could never have been prouder to hear that.
Anyway, I have to get ready for work. I hope you all have an awesome day!

''Debate and Update'' posted on 2-5-08
Hey everybody!! Sorry I haven't been keeping this updated, just not a lot to write about and I hate posting short blogs. Anyways, we had another debate in AP government and it was awesome. Both sides did so good that the teacher couldn't pick a side. Writing my speech really hit my opinion home. Anyways, maybe I'll type it up and put it on here somewhere sometime. I should do that with all my speeches just for my own use at least. This week we had tons of snow days and so it was really boring. I mean I couldn't find anything to do and I didn't want to just be on the computer the whole time, so instead I just watched tv all day. I know what a waste of time. We had winterfest week last week and it would have been a hit if we didn;t have so many snow days. The good thing about winterfest dress up days is that we came in second place instead of last. That's amazing for my class. The dance was also a hit. The DJ said it was the best dance he had hosted in 10 years and that he wasn't just saying that. Everybody helped clean up the dance so that also said they enjoyed it or else why would they stay to clean up. It was a lot of fun and it would be really cool to have another dance if we could get more people to show up. Monday we had our pep assembly even though the boys team lost on Friday we still had it because Friday we had a snow day. It was so much fun and the juniors (my class) got first in every game except the yell off and the tug of war. We basically blew every class out of the park and no one was even close to beating us. We were 100,000 points ahead of the second place winners. Yeah, so all in all a pretty good week. Talk to you all later!!!
Love Always,
Stephanie

''Last day of January'' posted on 1-31-08
Hey everybody,
Today was so packed full. We had two snow days this week, Tuesday and Weednesday so we had a lot to get done at school. One was the presentations. The presentations were due Tuesday, and we just presented them today. Mine went over really well I think because I had a game at the end of mine. I think a couple people had more fun than the others, but it was still fun to play. It was really good knowing that my hard work paid off. I don't know how I did grade wise exactly, but I am assuming that I did okay. We also had a packed day of Student Council. I had to stay after school to help and basically we put together paper chains and blew up balloons. I know lots of fun right, but it is necessary in order to have fun at the pep assembly. I am so excited and praying for no more snow days!!!! Anyways, that's about all I have for today. Felt like a whole lot more. Oh yeah! We have a debate coming up in AP Government soon. It's about the death penalty and it should definitley be fun. If you have any ideas between now and Sunday the 3rd of February, then email me at stepcon4@gmail.com. I check that one more often, but you can also send it to stepcon4@thepeta.net.
Love Always,

''The Truck'' posted on 1/26/2008
Well I got my truck fixed and as it turns out the intake gasket was fine and the distributer gasket was the leaky culprit. I found some bad vacuum lines and repaired those and I installed a new PCV valve and hose. I replaced the valve cover gasket on t he driver side and now all that’s left to do to my truck is fix the exhaust manifold leak.
Stephanie is out with my wife...It is prom time and they are getting hair cuts and nails done and Stephanie is getting a new dress for prom.
I so wish my mother and father lived closer to me. It would be so nice to share moments like these with my parents.
Little G has gone to pick up his girlfriend. We had to install a new thermostat in his truck today too.
I guess I am getting a taste for what it is going to be like when the kids leave home. Not sure I am going to like being here with no kids around.
I just finished cleaning the kitchen and living room and I need to vacuum but I think I will wait on that until the dogs are all settled.
Well, I guess I better run, Watch for the new newsletter. I will try and get it done next weekend and I will include prom pictures too.
Have a great Sunday,
God Bless!

I mean it gives me a chance to argue with really good facts and with really intelligent people. I don;t get that a lot. I think I am only good though because I have time to prepare, but if ou take away the time to prepare, then I wouldn't have anything. Anyways, my team won the debate and the phrase "Under God" would have stayed in the Pledge. My teacher, Miss Labarge, said it was one of the best speeches she has heard on the topic. Anyways, I always have lots of fun giving debates. That's about all that was really exciting about my day. Man I live for those debates. Talk about an adrenaline rush. Okay, so it's not really all that great, but to me it is.
Love Always,
Stephanie

''20 Below'' posted on 1/20/2008
Well today it is very cold out. The news shows 7 degrees now that’s up a few since I got up at 4:30 this morning. But the wind is what will kill ya...The wind-chill this morning was calculated at -20 degrees.
I have done chores, gone to breakfast and plowed the driveway. I really do love my life hear in Bloomingdale, MI.
I am taking a break for some coffee, then I have to go and install some heat lamps for our chickens…Their poor little faces will get frost bit if I don’t…
The pigs are doing pretty good – getting big and I think momma pig is starting to show again…I hope I have another large litter like last time.
Anyway, I better finish this coffee and get back to work…I am sure that by 10am I will be back here working on the site…I want to try and write my own newsletter program..
Have an awesome day ---

I miss writing code for Love Poets Cafe' but that deal finally fell through when my partner and I had a falling out.
Now I am just doing stuff for myself and my family.

''My First Post'' posted on 1/19/2008
Hey there everybody. I just got done cleaning the house because I have company coming over, so I had to clean the house. I also just got done taking a shower. I feel so rejuvinated. I have no idea what I'll be doing today, but I can gurantee that it will be better than yesterday. We had a Snowday yesterday and I had nothing to do. I was so bored and just sat around and watched TV. Today should be better though because Steven's coming over. We're probably just gonna watch a movie and get on the computer. Oh, by the way, I just got my license so I can't wait for the snow to clear up a little bit so that my dad will let me drive. I would probably be fine because I have had more driving experience in the somw than I have in the summer, but he still doesn't want to take any chances just yet. Well, I have to go sweep the floor now because the cats are stupid and don;t know how to use there litter box right. I will post back later.
Love Always,
Stephanie

This is a test post about school because My dad needed some stuff to work with in the data base. it will all be deleted when the program is done being written.
I went to school today but it was closed. my first day of driving and I can not get my parking permit because the school is closed.
sometimes I just hate the winter and I really dislike snow days.
I need more time at school
