Too Pooped To Pop

I have a good friend that is confirmed bachelor just as I am. But where I am pretty quiet and laid back he is pretty wild and crazy and considers himself to be one of the best pick up artist in town. Me, I don’t even know how to text a girl with a pick up line and not sound like a complete idiot much less looking at one right in the eye and spewing out some outrageously witty line in an attempt to get her undivided attention.

I generally just go up and introduce myself, offer to buy her a drink (if at a bar) and hope that my smile gets to her in a positive way in an attempt to hook up with nice and interesting female. Not that I have a lot of time to spend bar hopping these days. There is always so much work to be done around here, come night time I’m usually wiped out and not in any mood to clean up, dress up and go up town for an evening out on the town. A quick dinner and a nice hot shower is more my speed then an hour or so on the computer before kicking back on the sofa for some television, if I can find something decent to watch, works out well for this tired and lonely puppy.

I Didn’t Know That . . .

Antarctica is the only land on our planet that is not owned by any country..
Ninety percent of the world’s ice covers Antarctica .
This ice also represents seventy percent of all the fresh water in the world.
As strange as it sounds, however, Antarctica is essentially a desert;
The average yearly total precipitation is about two inches.
Although covered with ice (all but 0.4% of it, ice.),
Antarctica is the driest place on the planet,
With an absolute humidity lower than the Gobi desert.

Strange Housekeeping Tips

Can You Relate, I Certainly Can:

Tomorrow I will do the housework, NO EXCUSES!!! (unless they’re good ones)

 1. It is time to clean out the refrigerator when something closes the door from the inside.

 2. If it walks out of your refrigerator, let it go!

 3. The best mini-vac for an after meal clean up is the dog.

 4. Keep it clean enough for healthy, dirty enough for happy.

 5. Never make fried chicken in the nude.

 6. Do not engage in unarmed combat with a dust bunny big enough to choke the vacuum cleaner.

 7. You make the beds, you do the dishes, and six months later you have to start all over again.

 8. If guys were suppose to hang clothes up, door knobs would be bigger.

 9. My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

 11. Simplify… hire a maid.

 12: My second favorite household chore is ironing. My first being Hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.

 13. I’m not going to vacuum ’til Sears makes one you can ride on.

  14. Cobwebs artfully draped over lampshades reduce the glare from the bulb, thereby creating a romantic atmosphere. If your husband points out that thelight fixtures need dusting, simply look affronted and exclaim, “What? And spoil the mood?”

 15. When writing your name in the dust on the table, omit the date.

Gift Cards

Gift Cards and Gift Certificates have become a very popular gift giving item. Too many times have we all purchased a gift for some one only to find out that they all ready have one, or don’t need or want one and it turns out to be a waste of time and money for everyone all the way around. With Christmas coming about in short order I have been spending some time online looking for gift ideas for the folks that I need to buy holiday gifts for and I’ve decided that I will purchase gift cards for many of these folks that are on my Christmas gift giving list.

I have found a site at globalsportsstore.com that have some great products that I’m sure several of my friends and family members would enjoy. They have tons of outdoor and sports related products, like Air Rifles and Guns, along with the ever popular GPS systems that just about everyone owns or would like to for the majority of their vehicles. GPS has become very specialized and the prices are coming down just a bit each and every year. So I’m going to go ahead and order several gift cards from this site and get a few names checked off of my list nice and early like.

If you want to see a cool online sports store give globalsportsstore.com a look see and see if you get any gift giving ideas for your holiday gift giving options.

The All Mighty Credit Score

It isn’t easy to start working on reaching a good credit score and it isn’t easy keeping it good when you finally achieve one. Life has become so difficult with tremendous credit pressure placed on us each and every time we turn around. People are being turned down for employment due to bad credit scores, now how crazy is that? I can understand the need and the concern for some high ranking and high paying jobs for the employee to have decent credit, but those are few and far between these days.

Due to our government’s screw up and our economy in the toilet, life has become a real struggle for so many of us. So the responsibility of keeping an eye on our precious credit score is up to us and using places like FreeScore.com can make that task a much easier one to tackle. I’ve heard stories, first hand about how a messed up credit report can play havoc on your financial situations, big time. What a nightmare, one that I really wouldn’t want to see anyone have to through.

The Big Rescue

My nephew called me late last night needing to be picked up in town. Anything after 8:30pm is late around this place and this phone call came in at 10:05pm and I was stupid enough to answer the darn phone. My nephew and I don’t necessarily get along so he was really desperate to lower himself to call me to rescue him knowing that I have to get up early to take care of the farm and all.

But family is family and that is what family is for. So it made for a late night but all is well that ends well.

How To Start A Fight, Part II

I took my wife to a restaurant the other evening. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. “I’ll have the rump steak, rare, please sir.”

He said, “Aren’t you worried about the mad cow?”  I replied “Nah, she can order for herself.”

And that’s when the fight started…..

How To Start A Fight

One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift…The next year, I didn’t buy her a gift. When she asked me why I didn’t buy her one, I replied, “Well, you still haven’t used the gift I bought you last year!”

And that’s how the fight started…..

My Cousin’s Time of Need With Multiple Sclerosis

I know a few people that have Multiple Sclerosis, but to tell you the truth I don’t know a whole lot about MS but I’ve been doing a bit of research on the Internet and learning what I can. A cousin of ours has been experiencing Ms Symptoms and was recently diagnosed with MS so I figured I’d find out what I can and pass the information along to other family members as well. Knowledge is power and the Internet can provide us with a lot of knowledge, it’s unfortunate that my cousin doesn’t have Internet access, but most of the rest of the family does.

When I find good information I’m printing out what I find and will mail my cousin with what I can find that I think will be useful for him and his wife to use. His doctor wants him to follow a Multiple Sclerosis Diet and to exercise as much as possible. So I found a website allaboutms.com and found a Ms Diet and printed it out and put it in today’s mail to them. It’s a start and I’ll be finding out more as I go along and see if there is anything else that I can do for him in any way that I can. I’m just glad that they don’t live too far away from the rest of the family and I so that we can be there for him in his time of need.
