The (Other) End of the Internet

We got a call from Daughter Number One a while ago. It seems that if she’s not actually in labor then she’s doing a really good impression of it. She’s been having cramps about every 18 minutes all day and, when she went to the hospital because of some bleeding they told her she’s beginning […]

I shouldn’t read random blogs. I sometimes run across the most disgusting concepts imaginable. You probably wish that I wouldn’t read random blogs, also, because of my uncontrollable need to share the unpleasant things I find.
Case in point: This is useful for someone in need of a liver cleanse, I suppose, but … EWW! Just […]

Why is it that on almost every old sci-fi tv show and movie you see, all the aliens in the universe speak perfect English, many with a British accent? I’m thinking mainly of Star Trek and Dr. Who. Now, I know, as any good Trekker would, that The Next Generation series writers implied in several […]

The eight inches of show we got the other day has brought to mind something I haven’t thought of in decades and now I feel the need to inflict that memory upon my poor, innocent readers. >:)
I couldn’t have been more than 4 or 5 years old. I don’t think I had started school yet. […]

Now, here’s someone with no life and a really twisted sense of humor.
A man in Salem, Arkansas has been charged with vandalism after being caught on surveillance video putting Ding Dong treats into running clothes dryers at a laundromat.

The part that caught my attention is the location. I’m sure most people have never heard of […]

Guess what? It’s snowing. Again.
We had almost gotten rid of the snow and ice that was dumped on us a few days ago and now it’s coming down again.
I went up to the school just now and pulled Daughter Numbers Three and Four out early because I knew the school wouldn’t let them out until […]

A few weeks ago I saw a blog post promoting Zenni Optical’s eyeglasses starting at $8. Since I recently lost a pair of glasses in a tornado, I thought I’d give them a try. Here, for your edification, are my thoughts and opinions on the products I received.
I am going to state here, for […]

While driving home today, some guy on the car radio was talking about some organization or another offering assistance to the victims of last month’s tornado. I honestly couldn’t tell you exactly what he was talking about because I was only half-listening. At least, until he used the phrase, “misplaced families and displaced businesses”.
