is a FAMILY FRIENDLY web publication featuring an eclectic mix of (hopefully) humorous stories, answers to (mostly children's) questions, interesting news topics and odd or eccentric viewpoints and opinions. Basically we cover anything that interests me (aka Grandpa Oddball). If you have a question or topic you'd like to see covered click on our ask or suggest links. If you have a news item you'd like to share or if you have alternate viewpoints or opposing views to our opinion pieces that you'd like to submit click on our submit link. We're not proud and will consider any family friendly inquiry.
Hope you're all doing well and will enjoy GetOddNews. Unfortunately due to my medical problems (multiple sclerosis and necrotizing pancreatitis) I'm forced to build this web site with limited resources and in order to continue I need some help. Besides, we can use the money.
Why? Well, my medical condition requires upwards of $500./day when I have to stay in nursing homes, $100./day for home health care, better than $600./month for medicine plus expenses incurred during my frequent surgeries and hospital recoveries. Of course, our insurance helps out as long as we can afford it but it's still a strain.
So if you like my web site please consider donating. Just click the mouse while this message is visible for more information.
