He said to add it as a second prize for the next person that wins. Instead of giving two shirts though, I will give the next winner their choice of a second...

I will tally up the points and let you know what will be happening next with the Sword Point contest. It's going to have to wait for a day because right now, I am going to go to bed and hope that I have enough...

I hope this makes it easier for people to find info in this blog. I woke up this morning and found out that I still have a mortgage, car loans, 15 pounds of fat on my gut, and brown spots in my lawn. Dammit! I'm back in the... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, July 12, 2007The Housing Market Is Still Not Affecting The EconomyThe what the article from Money Magazine that had this chart said. It went on to say that as long as you don't count houses and cars, the US economy is going strong. I think that's great and using this persuasive logic, I would like to point out a few things that I have noticed in my own world. If...

There I said it. I can't take it back. Now you know the ugly truth. Sugary pop the size of your gas tank, deep fried potatoes which has the effect of creating a cancer causing combination, and...

We thought about skipping it because Tia has a bad cold and I'm coming down with a cold. I hope it doesn't get as bad as hers. She was miserable last night. We went through the basics of the meeting and didn't follow up with much discussion like we usually do. I...

We adjust and adjust and when we think we have a solid plan, something happens and we adjust again. Plan B is becoming a joke with us because it seems like we are never working on Plan A. The gut that interviewed... Sign in to see full entry. |
