Yesterday’s missing post

Would YOU drink from that glass?

I happened upon this video at a blog called I DON’T GIVE A BLEEP.
I’ve never had more than one or two occasions to stay in a hotel room, but after watching this, you can bet your bottom dollar that if I ever do again, I’ll be bringing (and cleaning) MY OWN drinking glass. What these […]

Busy Weekend

I didn’t put this post up yesterday because the one that I did put up had been nagging at my brain and insisted on being done first. Here’s a quick summary of what else happened in the last few days:

What’s a hypermiler?

It’s been a month and a half since the tornado went through town and trashed most of the major businesses.

Did you notice?

Did you notice the new widget (I love that word!) that appeared on my sidebar the other day?
I registered with Entrecard as a way of promoting this blog. Between that and StumbleUpon, my site traffic has grown by leaps and bounds.
Entrecard is really cool. You design a 125 x 125 image that is your […]

Come and groan with me

This morning my sister emailed me an Easter joke. Me being me, rather than just click ‘Forward” and send it to 10 or 12 people, I decided to post it here so that, theoretically, the whole world can groan about it.
Are you ready? Here goes:
A man is driving along a highway and sees a […]

A.S.Who?

If you live anywhere near this end of the internet then you’ve probably heard so much about Arkansas State University changing its mascot that you’re probably ready to scream. Well, brace yourself, because here I go again.
In case you’ve been living under a rock (or at the other end of the internet), the reason for […]
