The commercial with the man sitting in a bar, looking at a picture of the owner with his family. The owner comes over, tells him it wasn’t always perfect, & the man goes home. It sounds like Garth Brooks singing in the background, as his wife comes out, & he remembers all they’ve been through, [...]

And there’s another one!

I saw it last night. Another ad by Billy Mays, this time for a miracle light switch.
If your bedside lamp is on the other side of the room (huh?) just program this miracle light switch to work the light, stick it to the wall beside your bed, & you won’t have to get up to [...]
Let it snow – somewhere else, please

Well, winter is here.
We had a white Christmas. 6″ + on Tuesday. Yesterday we had between 7″ & 8″. So we have better than a foot on the ground. Sunday we’re supposed to hit 40F, so we’ll see some melting. Eventually.
When I was a kid, in Dallas, snow was something we always wished for. Now [...]
The Chia Pet craze

It’s finally happened. Chris has lost it. He’s regressing. He now owns 2 Chia Pets.
He has “The Professor” & “Shaggy”. He wants to get the rest of them now. I have the order form for more seeds, as the ‘coat’ only lasts a week or 2, at the most.
These naked heads are sitting on my [...]

As mentioned here, I gave the pen Chris made for me, from 200 year old Ponderosa Pine to my mother. That was before Thanksgiving. It went in the same package as the fruitcake, & the oatmeal/raisin cookies. I’ve been asking for a new pen since then, as they really do write well. And the custom [...]
The tree is down

Actually, it was down yesterday afternoon. I couldn’t stand it any longer.
We have a fake tree. We’ve done the real ones before. You know, the ones that leave needles in the carpet for 6 months after it’s gone? So a few years ago, I had enough & got the 6 & 1/2 foot thing we [...]
The Old Biddy brigade

My mother & step-father live in an apartment complex that’s small, & the youngest resident there is my age. Basically, it’s a large senior group home. Everyone knows everyone else, & if there is trouble afoot, if one doesn’t know what it is, someone else does & will clue them in.
Mother has had the flu [...]

On Nov. 2nd of this year, an off-duty Arapaho county sheriff’s deputy was involved in a road rage incident, resulting in a fight. He was losing the fight, when he pulled out his pistol & shot the kid he was fighting with. Killed him, then claimed it was self-defense, that they were involved in hand-to-hand [...]
