She has been studying the Irish language and dialects in an attempt to betting fit in with the locals while she is there promoting her new book. Come to think of if the book is all about that...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/food4thought5210/635534I just noticed my e-mail box has a size of 20 megabytes. Then it struck me, our first computer, which by the way cost nearly $5000 dollars, had a hard drive that was 20 megabytes! The computer I am using now has two hard drives, one of which is 500 or so gigabytes and our son put it together for...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/food4thought5210/633001“Hey buddy, can you give me a jump start?” Of course it is our first instinct to give a fellow driver a hand but there are risks associated with the seemingly simple jump start. First, do you or the driver asking for the jump thoroughly understand the procedure? Hook up those cables wrong and you...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/food4thought5210/631174What did Dave do to get everyone up in arms? Only the same thing he endlessly pokes fun at others for doing. So everyone, take a page from Dave’s book and ruthlessly run this into the ground. Hey Sarah Palin, now is the time for you to hone up on your Dave zingers, which by the way is a new candy...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/food4thought5210/630310Or – How I spent my summer vacation. Oh right, I didn’t get a summer vacation. My summer was filled with house re-modeling and work with only a day off here and there. Now, it is far too late in the night for me to be up, but I feel I need to take some time for me. I know I haven’t posted in quite...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/food4thought5210/624246Call it what you like, what happens when the cash runs out and clunkers remain to clog the nation’s highways, foul the air and gulp petroleum reserves like frat boys at a kegger? I had what could by any definition of the word have been considered a clunker. All four fenders, both doors and parts...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/food4thought5210/621960And now they want to go there. The August issue of Popular Mechanics has a headline on the cover proclaiming, “Why we need to go to Mars” and it is written by none other than Buzz Aldrin. To be fair, I have not read the article but that won’t stop me from offering an uninformed opinion. Now I can...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/food4thought5210/620115A wealth of information lies at our fingertips. We can shop on-line for anything we can name and some things we probably should leave un-named. A popular feature of most shopping sites is the ever popular consumer review where we can purportedly see what everyday consumers have to say about how...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/food4thought5210/618108Publish or wallow in obscurity. As regular readers (well, maybe reader, thanks Mom) might realize, I have been conspicuous in my absence. I’ll admit I would rather have been consuming Absinthe, but I wasn’t. It is just that real life has commandeered my spare time and change. Speaking of changes,...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/food4thought5210/615315Finally I can sit down at the computer and type a few lines. Summer is like a dream, only it’s that dream where you are in the middle of the railroad tracks wearing cement shoes and the train (summer) is bearing relentlessly down on you. The pressure is on at work, the new IRS ruling about the...
