*This is a repost.
I have not forgotten, Rahma.
The attacks of 9/11 will never be forgotten, nor will most of us forget what we were doing, where we were, or the feelings that flooded through us when we first heard the news. Our thoughts, fears, feelings, and ideals were solid, etched in stone. For some […]

I’m pretty sure that I have posted this before, but it’s a good one, worth repeating. Again, sweary bits are included, batteries are not.

Direct Deposit

“But I like going to the bank!”
My company is about to go to biweekly paydays. We just got the notice today. For some reason, we couldn’t go with direct deposit while receiving weekly pay, but this new schedule will enable us to do so. I’m cool with that.
But, even though I do like the convenience […]

No snow. No trip to the mountains.
Friend no have functional 4×4.
There’ll be more opportunities. But until I see snow, it can’t officially be the holiday season. Tuli fog or no…

Holidays
November 8th, 2008 · 7 Comments
‘Tis the beginning of the holiday season. Again, it doesn’t feel like it… it’s not cold, and nary a snowflake to be seen. I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to a holiday season without snow. First Florida, and now this…
In a little less than two weeks, I’m home for ten days. One of […]

Yeah. I realize that this is not exactly new. But this clip is for those of you who still may not know what a “minja”… you know who you are. (And when I say “minja”, I’m not referring to the elusive RSM.)
Education. That’s what this site is all about…
Well, that and the hokey pokey.

You think that this war is about oil? Or Halliburton?
Big Tobacco shaves away these falsehoods and exposes the truth. (Not family safe…)

Cell phones. I could care less about the damn things. Oh, I’ve got one… a prepaid Nokia crapphone. It does what I need it to do. There’s nothing fancy about it. No pictures, just calls. It does have texting, but that is used only sparingly. Taking ten minutes to type out five seconds worth of […]

Mistake
April 12th, 2008 · 7 Comments
Got in a rush while running through the grocery store, and now I pay. While blasting through the cookie aisle, I thought, “Why the hell not?,” and grabbed a couple of packs of cookies. Scanning is not good.
The dark double chocolate cookies are fine. But what I thought should be good chocolate chip cookies are […]

A Heads Up…
March 2nd, 2008 · 5 Comments
Read over at Contagion’s about some of the gun control crap that is being proposed back home, in Illinois. In the comments, Petey made reference to an ammo serialization bill. Before I could check into it, I got a call from a cousin, letting me know about it, too. Turns out that there are two […]

Nature

I’ve written about storms, and the rush they bring, before. Being outside during Mother Nature’s light shows is a very powerful thing. While some fear her, she is willing to share some of that power… give us mortals a sampling.
Being down here in the “lightning capitol of the world,” I get to watch her in […]

Stuck Goose

Not sure what triggered it, though I think that writing about the wolf laughing this morning may have done it.
Nevertheless, this song, Mother Goose, has been stuck in my head since then… especially the first verse.

What a great country we live in! The right to choose is ours…
“My daughter is one of 950 girl scouts urged to get rabies shots? Gee, thanks for the notice, but we’ll pass.”
In China, the authorities would take your daughter clubbin’.

Basil’s Bribe

Basil, the new Interview King, is offering a bribe to get more questions.
Seems that this summer, the questions have been dropping off. So Basil is offering a DVD to a lucky someone. Details are to be found here, but essentially, the more questions you ask this month, the greater your chances are to win.
That’s […]

What’s So Special About July 9th?
July 8th, 2006 · 46 Comments
(A conspiratorial Guest Post from Tammi of Tammi’s World, with help from Harvey of Bad Example)
Kind of a big day throughout history.
1) July 9, 1810 - Napoleon officially makes Holland part of his empire. Greedy French bastard. But, you do gotta admit, he was probably the last Frenchman with balls.
2) July 9, 1850 - Millard […]

Poor T1G, eh? Sweating his ‘nads off down in Florida. I feel for the guy, I truly do. So when he asked me if I’d mind stopping in here occasionally to post something, I said “Why, sure!” What the hell, right? I mean, yeah…it’s true…I did get the “special treatment” from Big Hand Bertha the […]
