The (Other) End of the Internet

Welcome back!I could probably finish my list of 100 things that piss me off just with what happened yesterday.
I got up in the morning to discover that my computer had locked up during the night (I usually leave it on all the time). I tried three times to reboot it and every time Windows […]

The other day in Wal Mart I thought it was peculiar that they had decided to place 42-inch flat screen TV’s on the end cap by the bath tissue. While walking down that aisle I met a couple coming the other way and couldn’t help overhearing their conversation as they approached the bath tissue and […]

Today I was in America’s Largest Retailer and I heard two guys in front of me talking and I kept hearing the word Kettlebell. I tried to figure out if Taco Bell and The Kettle restaurants had merged and that was their new name. When I got home I looked up the word online and […]

The obnoxious neighbor caught me again today and wanted to talk about the humidifier he’s planning on getting his mom for Christmas. I managed to refrain from looking him in the face and asking who in their right mind gives their mother a humidifier for Christmas but I got to hear his explanation anyway. It […]

I was just looking around on a site full of strange remedies and was surprised (and more than a little bit nauseated) to learn that some folks consider urine to be an acne treatment.

I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee and one of the truck accessories that a previous owner installed is a set of fog lights. This would be great, if not for the fact that the way they’re aimed all they will help me with is spotting any aircraft that fly overhead while I’m driving.
I must confess […]

A few months ago I got a good deal on a new camera and several accessories. One of the things included in the sale price that I’ve since had second thoughts about is a camera bag. It’s a nice one, with a shoulder strap and all the compartments one could hope for. The one feature […]

I’m not sure what’s wrong with me today. I’ve been walking around all day with dark circles under my eyes because I couldn’t sleep last night. Last night I was kept awake because I couldn’t stop thinking about my mother and the fact that today was her 71st birthday - unfortunately, she succumbed to cancer […]

Does anyone remember when a camcorder was a big, bulky thing that rested on your shoulder and seemed to weigh about as much as a Volkswagon Bug after recording about an hour of video? The camcorders for sale today look more like over sized credit cards and don’t seem to be much heaver than a […]
