MEGA MILLIONS SURPASSES $1 BILLION, BUY A TICKET...

Image
The picture isn't that clear, but something tells me that's A LOT OF MONEY... Look at the second number. It says 999 MILLION. That's right; the counter is maxed out! This is a once in a lifetime event; this is only the SECOND time in lottery HISTORY for the jackpot to go over $1 billion; the first time was January 2016 when the Powerball reached almost $1.6 billion, and three people won it from three different states. Look in the picture. The Powerball is a "miniscule" $470 million. A Mega Millions ticket is only $2; try your luck!

Sears (and Kmart) files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, the end of the line is near...

So, the news outlets were right. Sears has officially filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. But, the stores, both brick and mortar and online, will continue to operate. But the 125-year-old company is losing it. To me right now, there is a "race" going on with retailers right now. Amazon is in 1st, Walmart in 2nd, Target in 3rd, but Sears and Kmart are in last place! Sears has not been doing well lately. The company's stock fell below $1 on Sep 28, 2018, and fell below $0.50 on Oct 10, 2018. In fact, the stock right now is at 33 CENTS A SHARE! The company has also announced the closing of 142 MORE STORES, along with the bankruptcy.

My High School Years: The Return (10/12/18)

This is SEASON 1 EPISODE 4. The show is back! The school took me to McCray's Farm. I also went to see my mom at the Holyoke Mall, had my little brother's birthday at Look Park, and went to the fall foliage photo shoot. Seen this episode? Check out  S1 E5 ! Updated 2/18/19.

ONE THOUSAND VIEWS!!!

I have reached an incredible milestone on this blog: 1000 total pageviews! Isn't that crazy! Most of them came from my post Just For You, William!, which was posted July 10. That was a very emotional video about William graduating high school, and going to college, which he did, and went on the full day tour, along with I, on August 12! He is now visiting for Columbus Day weekend!

My High School Years IS DEFINITELY NOT DEAD!

You're probably wondering: I have not posted an episode in 2 weeks. But why? Did I quit? No! It's just I haven't really done anything noteworthy to make an episode. That is why! There WILL be an episode next Friday, Oct 12. So STAY TUNED!

October 5, 2018

I haven't posted in 2 weeks! But I'm here to tell you something: The blog is NOT dead! Today is Oct 5, 2018. The school went on a trip to an orchard about 45 minutes away. But I didn't go there. I instead went to a farm about 10 minutes from the school. It was fun, but it was chilly; it was only in the 50s outside. It looked like the hayride they have was closed, but it was indeed open. I chose not to go on it because it was cold outside. After, we went on a joyride, and ended up about 15 miles from the school. But we passed by the Eric Carle Museum, and saw something strange: A speed limit sign! That doesn't sound weird. But the actual limit was very weird. It wasn't 15 or 20, but 17! Seventeen miles per hour! What a weird speed limit! I also saw my mom at the community center, which was nice. We played Uno, and I showed Mom an idle/incremental game I like to play, called Infiroad. It was a mostly good day! Pictures of the farm and the weird speed limit sign c...
