So much for the desk…

The other day I was talking about this dilapitated old dsk and promising to go look at some modern office furniture to replace it, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen any time too soon.

A $32 Hamburger? (video)

How much is too much when it comes to supersizing your burger? How about 10 pounds of meat and a $32 price tag? Yep. that’s too much.

Why not memes?

I don’t understand something. The other day I got tagged with this ‘8 things about me’ meme and I dutifully posted 8 random facts about myself then went out and tagged 8 other folks to do the same. What I don’t get is that of the 8 people I tagged, only three followed up on […]
