The (Other) End of the Internet

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I value my privacy. That’s why I make it a point to be vague about where this end of the internet is located. That’s also why I don’t generally use my real name online. (What? You thought my mother actually […]

My daughter (number three) has been staying with her aunt for quite some time and just moved back in with her wretched old Mom and Dad last week. It’s been an interesting adjustment for all parties concerned. We have slightly different rules here that she’s not used to. Some things that her aunt used […]

It’s been one of those days at this end of the internet. First, I opened my cell phone bill and discovered about $15 in unexpected charges to my oldest daughter’s phone - mostly because she signed up for something called dada.com. After calling them and informing them that they could cancel theit “service” because I […]

In another post earlier today I was complaining about how people seem to have forgotten the significance of what happened six years ago today. Here is a shining example.
My two youngest girls came home from school today and informed us that the school had an assembly today about Sept. 11th. They, however, couldn’t tell us […]

I know I haven’t exactly been what one might call prolific the last week or two, but it seems that there just aren’t enough hours in the day any more.

Does the name look familiar? Do you get the feeling you’ve seen this layout before somewhere?
Rest assured, you’re not going nuts. I do, at the moment, have two blogs, both with the same theme and both named The (Other) End of the Internet.
It’s not that I’m THAT unimaginitive. It’s that I originally wanted to move […]

Today is my wife’s birthday. Around this end of the internet we generally celebrate birthdays on the nearest convenient Saturday. This means that I’ve got until tomorrow afternoon to come up with a birthday gift for her. My problem is that I can’t exactly give her jewelry. She runs an online jewelry store plus has […]

The oldest daughter is home from college for the weekend and the very first thing she asked me was for help getting her new laptop connected to our wireless network so she could get on the internet. She asked me this on the phone when I was 200 miles away, then got annoyed when […]

After reading this post about paid blogging, I’m thinking that it might be an idea for me to state for the record exactly what my policy on the subject is.
First and foremost, this is MY blog, hosted on webspace paid for by ME. As the sole owner of this blog, I reserve the right to […]

Have you ever slept in a set of bunk beds? I haven’t. As a kid I was always VERY afraid of heights. As an adult, I’ve become more reasonable on the subject. Now I’m not so much afraid of heights as I am afraid of falling.
Seriously, though, I always envisioned either falling off […]
