Warm the Dogs
A while back DogToys.com offered up cool camo dog coats for only $1.99 plus shipping/handling (with tax it came to around $8 a coat — not bad at all). I did not realize how cool a deal this was until I actually got my coats (got three altogether for my nephew and niece doggies). Theses…

Star Trekkin Tunes
I have been scouring the web today looking for techno versions of the star trek theme. Unfortunately for me I already have all the good ones. Everything else can be found on youtube.com with a poorly slapped together video montage to go along with it and you can’t easily extract the audio out of these…

I Want It Wednesday: More Time
I need more time in the day. I just cannot seem to get anything done these days. I with the holidays coming fast my time seems to be even shorter. And god forbid I want to take a little time out for myself. It just is not going to happen. I don’t even want to…

Bummer for the Mummers
I heard on the radio today that the Mummers Parade might be in trouble this year. It wouldn’t be New Years without the Mummer’s Parade! I no longer sit and watch the whole thing but we always have it on at some point. Apparently the city of Philadelphia has cut the Mummer’s budget (actually what…

Big Bang Christmas
Tonight’s Big Bang Theory wasn’t really an exceptional episode, but it had its moments. The best of those was at the end of the episode when Penny finally gives Sheldon (who I believe is quickly becoming the show favorite — I know he’s my favorite) an Xmas gift. (You will have to watch the episode…

Hitchhiker on my Car
I found this photo when I was downloading my images the other day and thought I would share it here. One day on my way to work this past Fall I had a hitchhiker on my car antenna. I hope you can see how big and perfect this spider’s web was. I am not a…

Spam – Meat not Mail
SPAM the all American canned meat has gotten a bad wrap over the years and a lot of people feel the same way Month Python’s Flying Circus does, Spam, Spam, Spam I bloody hate Spam. Well not me, I kind of like it and lucky for me it appears to be soy free according to…

Soy in my Tuna
Why are there soybeans in my Tuna? Good question isn’t it? When I pick up a can of solid white tuna in water that’s what I expect to get. But you will also get soy beans. The ingredients of Starkist Solid White Albacore Tuna in water are listed as: White tuna, water, vegetable broth, salt,…

Soy Free Mayo Found
The soy free Mayo Search may have ended. I think I have found the answer to mayonnaise problem (kind of). Thanks to all the people over at topix for answering some one else’s question it sure helped me. Spectrum Naturals makes a Canola Mayonnaise that unlike Hellmann’s Canola mayonnaise truly is soy free. And it…

The Great Margarine Butter Debate
All my life I have been told that margarine is better for you than butter. Maybe it is, but since my Soy allergy has kicked into full gear (it could potentially kill me) butter is the safest choice for me. Margarine like mayo is all made from soybean oil. Even if it says canola it…
