  • Comcast Cable Sucks Here’s Why – Part 6: The Crappy Customer Service

    Well if you have been reading my blog for any amount of time you know I have an ongoing issue with Comcast Cable and their crappy service. This time it is their customer service. I have already pointed out their enormous cost before so let me just tell you how shocked I was by my…

  • Power of Copper

    Way back when I was a kid in the 70s copper bracelets were all the rage. Fashion, like history, always seems to repeat itself. That is not always a bad thing. The good old copper bracelet is a good example of that. It seems like everyone is sporting a bangle or a cuff made of…

  • Why Go Without Health Insurance

    I was just reading about how about half of the country’s uninsured people actually choose to be uninsured not because they can’t afford it but rather they just don’t feel they need health insurance. Can you believe that? Even if you are young and healthy you still need insurance for the simple fact that you…

  • Rent a House Not Just a Room

    Why settle for a tiny little hotel room when you could stay in a cool vacation rental? Heck you could even get luxury vacation rentals for the same cost as most hotels. Why would anyone stay in a cramped room when there are so many vacation rentals out there? Wouldn’t you have more fun in…

  • Upcoming Movie Info

  • Snow Day

    Snowed all day today. I had to go out and shovel twice. The path in the snow was at least up to my thigh. So glad I did not have to go to work or even think about going out in that snow. Heck it was bad enough just going out in it to shovel,…

  • Hair Cuts

    Mom has been gone for over a year now…still hard to believe she is gone. Still every time I get a hair cut and walk into the house or visit her grave, I half expect to her in a disappointed tone, “You’ve cut your hair again.” That was our normal greeting every single time I…

  • My New Favorite Christmas Song

    I kept seeing this on Nick while watching cartoons today and then saw the onDemand link for LEGO TV and well I was hooked! ENJOY (I do).

  • Cute Kitty in a Sticky Situation

    Last week, September 22 to be exact, we saw a horrible image on the news. It was of an adorable little brown tabby cat all wrapped up like a mummy in duct tape. We could not bear to watch the whole news clip to find out what, who or why it had happened. The news…

  • 32nd Annual Walk for the Animals 2009

    This past Saturday was the Humane Society of Berks County‘s 32nd Annual Walk for the Animals and Walktoberfest at the Reading Phillies baseball stadium. The weather was really nice and sunny (first time in a few years for them).  Lots of dogs and their people showed up to walk, have fun and raise money to…

    Boris and his pals on Twitter are at it again! They started a way fun Duckie Club and all you need to join is a Ducky with a rather interesting name. Boris Named his Kong Ducky Sir Quacky McGee. (He had to have a little Simpson’s in him since he is so yellow.) These are…

  • What Is All The Hubbub About

    A group of 30 dogs let out the world’s loudest bark the other day according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Their barks reached 115 decibels. Man that’s loud! The recorded was previously held by a larger group of dogs in the US. Wonder if the number of dogs now factors into the equation…
