If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!The way I figure it, right about now, most of the parents in the U.S. are encouraging their kids to do something that they’ve already told the kids to never ever do.
That’s just one of the problems I see with […]
You hear the funniest things if you just listen. Here are a couple of examples.
Monday afternoon I got myself a flu shot. There was a time I’d have laughed at the suggestion, but then there was a time I hadn’t spent the last 11 years taking immuno-suppressants like prednisone.
I thought for a day or so that I could get by without the side effects that flu shots sometimes […]
The obnoxious neighbor just pulled one for the record books.
He caught me out front this morning and decided that meant I wanted to be sociable. Actually, it meant that I wanted to put a letter in the mailbox.
While he was standing there chewing my ear, our dog came out of the garage.

I got some more email from those guys with the photo “contest”. The email I got about my flower picture
in case you missed it, here it is.
The latest email from these people about this picture says

Since that show doesn’t exactly require one’s undivided attention to follow, I started thinking about other shows that have been remade recently, such […]
When we upgraded to high-speed internet, our ISP gave us a Westell router that I think is on drugs. When it establishes a DSL connection, it reports
DSL Connect Rate (Down/Up) 1728 Kbits/sec by 32 Kbits/sec
If, however, I leave it turned on but disconnect the phone line from it for a few […]
My daughters’ cell phone contracts ran out recently so we took the opportunity to upgrade their phones. After two years of use (or abuse, as the case my be) these poor phones were in sad shape. One of them feels as though the keypad has been cleaned with steel wool and neither of them will […]
Remember about three weeks ago when I came up with My Master Plan for a certain online photo contest? It’s going exactly as I predicted.
My idea was to pick a truly awful picture to submit and see if it got the same raves as the “okay” picture I submitted the previous month. Here’s the picture […]
