A few months ago I had a minor fender bender, which involved only me and my broken bumper, which is not a story I’d like to share. Not a big deal except that I just bought the car (a very cute Pontiac G6 with a sunroof) in February 2008 and the bumper had a long [...]
In my lifetime, or at least ever since I started paying attention, people have made money or become rich off of a broad range of items, some being as obvious as rare art found in the attic, others include the man in Kansas that recently sold an unwrapped Nintendo Stadium Game for $41,000.00.
Just the same, [...]
Ah…it’s Friday and it’s been a hard week so I’m just adding this video of some guy being silly on the phone and pretending he’s talking to debt collectors. Hope it gives you a little Friday laugh. Enjoy your weekend!
The news of the recent earthquake in Haiti may not actually move many of us simply because it’s in a different country and we seldom think we can help. We are of course, just pulling ourselves out of our own disastrous recession.
Still, the earthquake in Haiti has resulted in what’s estimated at thousands upon [...]
It looks like people aren’t happy with Rev. Tim Jones of England. He apparently told his congregation that it was okay for the poor to shoplift as long as it was from large chains and not small family owned businesses. Meaning I could steal from Walmart but not the corner store in my town.

I don’t know if it’s the economy and so many people are hoping for a miracle, but does it seem to you that there are more scams and scammers than ever?

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my dad had prostate cancer. My mom called me today from the Mayo Clinic when he went in for surgery. She said it would be a five hour surgery and she had decided to wait at the hospital.
Five hours is a long time to wait by yourself in [...]
My daughter asked me what Labor Day is, and since she’s only 5 I explained the best way possible. It’s a holiday to celebrate the American work force, the people that work…laborers.
Of course, she didn’t understand any of that. Just that Mommy has the day off and she starts school tomorrow.
And in the spirit of [...]
My mom sent me this link to an article titled, “Do You Complain Too Much?” and no, she wasn’t trying to tell me anything.
But, yes I do complain too much. When I began reading the article I agreed with everything and even considered taking the “quit complaining challenge” like the writer and millions of other [...]
Well, I haven’t had satellite service for about 4 days. Not by my choice, it’s just out and can’t be fixed. A technician is coming tomorrow to check it out and so I figured what better time to just cancel the service? Maybe the tech can pick up the equipment and whatever and I’ll just [...]
