Keeping Up With the Times

Find a match online is the way to go these days if you are looking for a partner in life. There are many dating and matchmaking sites available and it’s good that there are options out there with this in mind. A good online dating review site can be found at primedatingsites.com, they have taken the time to check out many of the dating sites and give you an insight to what many of them have to offer.

We have all heard of eHarmony.com, but there are plenty of other dating sites that are available out there that haven’t done all the marketing that eHarmony has done on TV. Yahoo Personals is well known, well because it’s Yahoo, but to see other services one only has to go to this review site to find detailed information on American Singles, Date.com, Match.com, Friend Finder and numerous others as well.

With so many online dating sites available it would be wise to check and see what you possibly could be getting into, I know I would if I ever went that route. Times are a changing and you need to keep up with the times, safely and using your head and common sense.

Sad News Just Keeps Coming

First we hear about Ed McMahon, not too shocking since he was getting up there in age and hasn’t been in the best of health lately. Then we hear about Farrah Fawcett fight with cancer that finally ended with her passing, hopefully in peace. When it was announced about Michael Jackson’s sudden demise and Farrah’s story was put on the back burner. And now Billy Mays has left this world due to a heart attack. These are all sad stories to hear and read about and I hope that we won’t be experiencing any more until we are able to digest all that has happened in the last few weeks.

That Time of Year

When I was on the back porch smoking a cigarette I noticed several fire flies out and about for the first time this spring! Each year they some how manage to bring a smile to my face and I find myself entranced with them time and time again!  One of life’s few simple pleasures.

A Good and Proud Redneck

DWI – DONE TEXAS STYLE
Only a person in Texas could think of this.

From the county where drunk driving is considered a sport, comes this true story. Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a bar in Austin , Texas . After last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk.

The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity in which he tried his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall into it.

He sat there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.

Finally he started the car, switched the wipers on and off–it was a fine, dry summer night–, flicked the blinkers on and off a couple of times, honked the horn and t hen switched on the lights.

He moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons’ vehicles left.

At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out and drove slowly down the road.

The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man over and administered a breathalyzer test.

To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had consumed any alcohol at all!

Dumbfounded, the officer said, “I’ll have to ask you to accompany me to the police station.”

This breathalyzer equipment must be broken.’

‘I doubt it,’ said the truly proud Redneck. ‘Tonight I’m the designated decoy.’

Giving Pirates a Bad Name

I hate to hear and see on the news about today’s pirates, they really have taken pirating to an embarrassing new height with technology and all that it and other new tactics, have to offer these guys.

I wouldn’t want to be on the “high seas” in this day and age, a whole totally different kind of game is being played here, with all of the new technology that anyone can get their hands on and use to their advantage, and we are living in the age of nuclear access, wish scares the *%&$@# out of me!

Today’s GPS

It’s cool how GPS tracking is being used more and more this days and has become very easily accessible through websites such as Live View GPS has, which is where I have found a tremendous amount of information about this up and coming fascinating technology. Whether is be for business or for your own personal use, it has now become more affordable to protect and monitor anything that you deem necessary to. In fact their live vehicle tracking, positions and is updated every ten seconds, that can be viewed by any computer hooked up with the Internet anywhere. That certainly could and would come in handy for so many needs that I can think of. It is an interesting read and worth the time to check out, if you will.

5 Somali pirates drown with ransom share

The latest on the tremendous amount of pirating that is taking place in the Gulf of Aden, is that 5 of the pirates drowned along with their share of the 3 million dollar ransom money that was paid. Piracy is one of the few ways to make money in Somalia, and this particular bundle of cash was delivered to the deck via a parachute.

This is an ongoing situation and one that we modern day pirates are keeping close eyes on, days have certainly changed on the high seas.

Better late than Never

Today is the day after Christmas, the mail man delivered 6 Christmas Cards to my door this afternoon, that is almost as many as I had gotten all during the holiday season. But like the old saying goes “Better Late Than Never”

As it turns out…..

My ex in-laws never seemed to be able to put a plan in place for today’s Thanksgiving meal, not surprising really, their life style is so much different from anything that I have ever had experienced in my life, so laid back and totally informal, taking one day as it comes, so to speak. Well this time their lack of commitment and planning has made the decision a bit easier this Thanksgiving, we are planning on leaving in a few hours to head to my folks for the late afternoon or early evening diner hour, not sure what time frame 4:30pm fits into! At least the weather is cooperating, it is really nice out, less bundling and layering to deal with today!

Now we have to start thinking about what is ahead of us for the Christmas Holiday plans with both families to keep in mind, argg…..

So many leaves, so little time

Having a large is nice and all and comes in handy in so many ways, unfortunately during this time of the year it is very overwhelming with all of the falling leaves that land in the yard and drive way. I have spent several hours each week-end for the last few weeks, outside raking and bagging and it makes me think that in just another month or so I’ll be out doing the same thing, only with snow instead of leaves, bummer!

One good thing is that it gets me outside and is good exercise, other than that it is a real drag!
