  • Pig in Boots

    This little piggy won’t be going to market. At least that’s what the farmer says. Little Cinders, a saddleback pig, has a phobia. She’s afraid of dirt (mysophobia). Go figure. A pig that can’t play in the mud. The fine folks at the Northern England farm fit her with a pair of little rubber boots…

  • Unicorn Found

    Okay so it is not an actual fantastical beasty. Not the typical mythical horse with a single horn on its head. Rather it is a deer born with one horn in the center of its head was found in Italy. A genetic defect, but cool anyway. Probably how the whole thing got started in the…

  • I Want It Wednesday: Solar Charger for Personal Electronics

    How cool is this? A solar charger for the iPod and other small electronic devices. This little gadget could be a life saver when out on the beach and your tunes stop pumping or your cell phone is dying and you are no where near and outlet. Now mind you it isn’t going to work…

  • Nutty Squirrels Stealing My Internet

    Remember I said Comcast came out and looked everything over and that my outside lines were chewed by squirrels. Well those nice guys sent me the pictures they took while hanging out on top of the pole with those nutty squirrels. Take a look at what those rodents did to the lines. No wonder I…

  • Comcast Came Thru Sort Of

    Comcast came out to review the problems I am having with the DVR. Those problems being many like the screen going black when I try to play anything on the DVR or after I pause or try to rewind live TV, no sound after recording if the DVR was turned off at the time of…

  • Scared and Confused About Credit Cards

    Starting out in life can be scary, maybe not horror movie scary, but scary nonetheless. My nieces are at that point where one will be graduating and the other is starting college. Both will be heading out into the real world and need to start handling their own finances. Trying to figure out what credit…

  • Don’t Bother Seeing The Strangers

    Went to see The Strangers last night and quite honestly I was disappointed. The previews and critic quotes they splashed across the screen let me think I would be “messed up for life” and “unable to sleep for weeks”. Well I slept last night without any problems. The first half hour (felt like an hour)…

  • Protect Yourself From Scary Monsters

    I went to see a scary movie last night and maybe I am just getting too old, but it wasn’t all that scary to me. You know what is scary to me? The thought of someone stealing my identity is really scary to me. Why don’t the make a horror film about that? Probably because…

  • Get Off Your Butt And Do Something

    It is summertime, well not officially yet. That means it is time to get away from the TV, computer, xbox or wii and get out into the great outdoors and enjoy yourself. You don’t have to do anything too strenuous. There is plenty to do without breaking the bank you’re a sweat. You could go…

  • Funny People

    Reading, PA is known for its outlet stores (at least it used to be, many of them have closed since it got the title of outlet capital of the world so I cannot see calling it that any more). So it is no surprise when things that aren’t even outlets start calling themselves outlets like…
