  • Where’s the Value in that Meal?

    Value meals are known for their low costs and smaller quantities. The one restaurant that seemed to still give you a decent sized burger for your dollar was McDonald’s. Not any more. I ordered a double cheeseburger the other day and took six big bites before I ever hit meat. I pulled the bun off…

  • Denny Crane At It Again…

    Another great Denny Crane quote tonight.  And I quote… “Hope springs a kernel . . . It’s an old farmer’s saying.”  🙂 Mad Cow you know.   I just love Boston Legal. It is a great show.

  • Got Batteries To Go With That Gift?

    Christmas time is coming and now is the time for getting all your gifts. If you are like me your list is comprised mostly of electronic items. Well, electronics require power and usually more power than the manufacturer gives us. Laptops are a number one gift but most only come with a two-hour battery. Not…

  • FEARnet Sucks Part II

    Like all good horror flicks this post has a sequel too. I have been getting hits from people searching on how to access FEARnet on demand. And you know what that is a good question. When they first announced the “channel” on Comcast I was excited but I too had trouble figuring it all out.…

  • Looking for Something to do in Warmer Climes

    The weather is getting cooler up north and my thoughts start to turn toward a trip down south. One place I recently found out about is St. Augustine Ponte Vedra in Florida. It is located just south of Jacksonville along the east coast of Florida. One of the things that caught my eye, besides all…

  • Don’t Invite Me For a Meal

    Even when I have nothing to do with the ordering and delivering processes I can still ruin a good meal. All I was going to do was eat it. I was at a friend’s house for a Halloween party last night and the pizza was being delivered as I got there. Perhaps that is all…

  • Freebies in the US Mail

    I just love getting free stuff in the mail. I had signed up for the Diamond Select Toys newsletter quite a while ago and haven’t bought from them in about a year, but this morning I got a little package in the mail from them. It contained two single minimates. One was from their The…

  • The Restaurant Black Cloud Continues to Hover Over Me

    The restaurant issues continue. This time we are back to Applebees, but a different one than before. This time it was a take out order for all of us at work. We have ordered from them before and have had problems from them before as well. This time they let us order something that was…

  • Pay Me to Post Please!

    I first stumbled on PayPerPost about six months ago. At the time I had a new blog without a lot of posts. But I felt payperpost was a great opportunity not just to make money but also to help my blog grow so I worked really hard to get accepted into their program. It wasn’t…

  • Futurama Returns in 2008

    I absolutely love Futurama and was pleased as punch to see that they would be returning. But there is still a lot of confusion around this return. Billy West [he does the voice of Fry] posted on his site that the entire cast would be returning to do a straight to DVD movie. Which would…

  • Email from the Future

    Recent rounds of SPAM coming into my in box all seem to originate in the future dating any where from 2026 to 2038. Guess I don’t have to bother reading them for another 31 years!

  • Got Domain? Now Get Hosting?

    Okay, so you’ve gotten the domain name you wanted from GoDaddy.com and you are ready to jump right in and get a site set up. Your next step then is finding a good hosting service. I recommend PowWeb.com. GoDaddy.com offers several different levels of hosting as well, but your best bet to get the most…
