Finances are a funny thing. Everyone has their own style. Personally, I have always tried to live at or below my means. I avoid my credit cards (even though I have them) and I go without if I need to save up for a large purchase. However, there are times (all too often) when an […]

What a funny guy. I saw him live in 2000 or maybe 2001 when he performed at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, FL. Personally, I liked his shows better when they were on HBO. He was a little too filthy for me in a Live context. But, if I really think about it — that […]

We arrived today for our vacation at my dad’s house on the Shenandoah River. I’ve been quite envious since he built this house, since the Shenandoah is my favorite river, hands down. I would like to have grown up in this house. Actually, the house I grew up in was bigger and closer to Washington, […]

Ebay is dead, as far as I am concerned. Not only are the fees too high, the regions features of the site are weak. Shipping costs have all but obliterated the value of auctions via Ebay as well. When I started asking my friends where they have turned to buy and sell items, or to […]

Larry and Julia were married for 18 years, but Julia eventually decided she wanted to be Julio. Now, Larry points out that his alimony payments go “for paying medication for steroids, […]

You should see the basket I use as an in-box here at my home computer/office. It is full. There are, granted, some things I do not need to get to right away. However, there are insurance statements and bills from doctors I need to look at next week. There are car insurance quotes to follow […]

My energy level has been very low. I’m tired when I wake up in the morning. I am tired again by after lunch. I am sometimes so tired that I am dying inside waiting for my five-year-old to wind down enough to geo to bed at night.
I like coffee, but I went off of caffeine […]

It’s my mother’s birthday. Once you get to a certain age, I think that gifts like flowers and picture frames and books of poetry only mean so much. After all, I know my mother has year’s worth of those kins of gifts sitting around on shelves. Well, not the fresh flowers, but there are many […]

There was a time when I lived up north, a little south of Pittsburgh, when I found one of the rare doctors prescribing phen-phen. It worked, that’s for sure, but I hated the way I felt. I can completely understand the attraction of a medication that curbs your desire to eat so thoroughly, though. That’s […]

It is hurricane season again. Although nothing even close to frightening has blown through here yet this year, we have had some impressive and much needed thunder storm this past week. The rain is what we needed, actually. The thunder and lightening were nice for the added drama, though.
Today I pulled up the blinds, pushed […]
