The (Other) End of the Internet

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!The other day my sister emailed me a couple of links and asked me to take a look at them and tell her if I thought the money-making system they were talking about was worth doing.
The websites sent to me […]

The Obnoxious Neighbor finally went home. He’s been over here most of the day today complaining about his driveway and, more specifically, the large trenches on either side of it. It seems that his even-more-obnoxious kid has trouble getting his obniously loud car in and out of the driveway without falling into one of the […]

Daughter Number Three is still recovering from back surgery. She’s also just now getting over the fact that she wasn’t able to go with the high school band last month on their annual trip. This year the band director booked one of those Orlando vacations. They make the trip to Disney World every few years, […]

I was sent to buy a couple of cans of potato chips recently and when I got to the store they were out of the regular-sized cans of sour cream and onion chips. They did, however, have a larger can with the words “Super Stack” emblazoned across the front of the can. The larger can […]

This post is about a million and one twits. The first million are the twits who decided to follow some guy named Ashton Kutcher on twitter.com just because of some sort of a challenge issued by CNN.

While my younger sister was here today she told me that my older sister has suggested another remedy that’s supposed to help with arthritis pain. She is recommending that I wear a magnetic bracelet. I’ve heard of that before and I’ve even seen a few people doing it. And I have a very valid reason […]

Granddaughter Number One achieved a milestone this morning. She was in her playpen and my wife helped her into a standing position. She had no problem holding on to the edge of the play pen to keep herself up and she surprised everybody when she took a step or two sideways while holding on to […]

This evening my wife looked up from her email and informed me that Eartha Kitt died of colon cancer today. Being the well-informed, always-on-top-of-it guy that I am. I paused my job of putting my daughters’ textbooks away and said, “Who’s that?”
Turns out that I have seen her on television. Back in the late […]

Recently I heard and ad on the car radio for a tankless water heater and I was like, “a WHAT? How do you heat water without a tank?”
Seriously, what do they do, wrap some industrial strength heat tapes around your water pipes so that between time the water enters your house’s plumbing system to the […]
