The (Other) End of the Internet

Did I mention that right before the recent bout of whatever it was started, we had another panicked false-alarm run to the hospital with Daughter Number One and soon-to-be granddaughter Number One?
It was realling looking serious, too. She was having contractions every 10 minutes, then every 5 minutes, then every 3 minutes, then, by the […]

AGAIN with the BOOM BOOM BOOM outside my window while I’m trying to take a nap!
Just like the other week, I opened the front door and glared at them and the noise immediately stopped. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I’m just over 6 feet tall and about 235 pounds - and […]

Daughter Number Two is thinking of buying her first car. She has a friend who is willing to cut her a sweet deal on a 1999 Dodge Neon. Daughter Number Three is jealous because the Dodge Neon in question is PURPLE. That kid would fall in love with a wrecking ball if you painted it […]

Ya know, when you’re lying in bed wishing you could stop trying to vomit up your shoes, that’s not necessarily the time you want to listen to your crazy neighbor fiddling around with his nutty kid’s hot rod.
I really was wishing that they’d win some Outer Banks rentals and go move away to manage them. […]

Sunday afternoons sure have changed since I was a kid. Time was we’d all spend the afternoon together in front of a good movie on television. (Of course, woe betide poor the soul who made the mistake of speaking during dad’s favorite scene!)

I just got over something resembling a stomach virus, or flu, or ulcer attack, or something truly unpleasant. I haven’t been able to keep anything down or get too far from the bathroom. It has been suggested that it might again be my lack of gall bladder getting to me. If I eat pork fat […]

I’ve been lax in my posting for the last few days. Did you miss me? ere you wondering what happened to me? Well, I was not on safari in Northern Africa hunting elephants. I was not involved in some drug treatment program (sorry to disappoint, but the only pills I take are by prescription). And, […]

I mentioned a few days ago that EntreCard had recently put in a change that limited all their users to dropping 600 cards per I.P. address per day. Well, the next day they put in another change. This one is really confusing some people. The old system was simple. The price someone paid to advertise […]

I was complaining talking to my brother about the recent problem that’s developed with my vision. I’ve said that it looks like there’s a thumb print on my glasses and that’s a fairly accurate description, but I kept having this nagging urge to come up with a better description.
This post is that description. They say […]

An update on the Stereo War I talked about yesterday:
My reasoning for selecting Garth Brooks was simple. You have a young male who likes to drive a hot rod and listen to Rock ‘N’ Roll loudly. The one type of music that he simply won’t be able to stand is Country.
Actually, I really like The […]
