Being a dad can be such fun

Welcome back!My youngest daughter came home from school the other day and mentioned that some boy in her class was blowing kisses at her. Needless to say we have been making sure she’s been properly picked on about it. I made some comment about ordering wedding invitations and that’s when it came out that she […]

I am so sick of this laptop overheating

I wanted to write a blog post this evening, but since there’s a toddler sleeping in my bedroom, I got my Dell Inspiron laptop and went out to the living room. I waited no less than twenty-five minutes for the thing to boot Windows XP and then another 5 minutes while it got around to […]

Return of The Business

My wife wants to re-open her online jewelry store. It’s been sitting with an “under construction” sign on the front page and nothing in inventory for well over a year now. I think what we’re going to do is set up a new store on a new domain and then start in with the free […]

Can you get paid for posting links on google?

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 were
http://www.world-jobs-news.com/finance/?t202id=79524&t202kw=work%20for%20google
and
http://googlecash-secret2.info/?t202id=4695&t202kw=
The websites both talk about being able to make anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 […]

my brilliant idea

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 […]

Maybe next time.

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, […]

Why you should always read the fine print

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 […]

A Million And One Twits

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.
I’ll have to agree with the comment I heard: Some people will follow anyone just because somebody told […]

At least it wasn’t me this time.

My wife came in this afternoon and said that she had gotten trapped in a conversation with the obnoxious neighbor guy. I was actually glad that was sick in bed all day; otherwise it might have been me.
It seems that this week he’s been reading about Flowering Japanese Magnolia trees and wants […]

Sorry, sis

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 […]
