How Hard is it to Turn on That Turn Signal
Turn signals, know what they are? Seems most people on the road these days have forgotten. Just a little reminder folks the turn signal is the lever on the left-hand side of your steering wheel that moves up and down. It turns on the flashing lights on either side of the car. Lights that are…

Star Trek Goodies Gone Bad
The other day I received several boxes in the mail all containing Star Trek goodies. At first I was extremely excited and happy to be having such a geeky good day. But that feeling faded quickly. First up was a small envelope, which contained my Spock Elf mini mate. He was all perfect and minty…

BK Wouldn’t Let Me Have It My Way
Top of the receipt says, “Have it your way…” yet I wasn’t allowed to have it my way. I don’t normally eat a lot of Burger King food as I don’t care for the taste of the flame broiled [charbroiled] meat, but every once in awhile I want a whopper. I heard about this Whopper…

Reality TV Sucks
I have never been a fan of reality television I just don’t get the appeal, especially the appeal of shows that only seem to stress the ugliness of the human race. If I want to see all those people fighting and backstabbing, I would simply go to more family reunions or watch the news. There…

Whatever Happened to Our Lesbian Batwoman?
After hearing about Batwoman being a Lesbian in the 52 comics way back in 2006 I could not wait for the first issue to hit the stands. Even though she did not appear until issue 11. The idea that finally a main character was going to be portrayed as a strong lesbian had me reeling.…

If you are the victim of an automobile accident in the state of Pennsylvania do not go to CVS pharmacy to get your prescriptions filled. They will fill your prescriptions. I found this out the hard way. Last night when I took my prescription in and asked if they could bill my auto insurance due…
