Comparison Shopping

We published a story comparing a bill of groceries between two "natural food" stores. The bill comes to over $170. You can save about $9 buying only from Store A and an additional $4.50 by 1) knowing exactly what you want and the prices; 2) buying from the store with the lower price. Since I'm...

Another One For The Urban Dictionary

Today I saw a decal that said, "Overthrow Corporatocracy" I understand what they are trying to say. I agree with it to some extent. I think the corporations have gotten a bit too big in many cases. The problem I have with it is that what we are dealing with is fascism. This is something that we have... Sign in to see full entry.

Congratulations Are In Order

Lance Armstrong won his seventh and Tour de France. I'm sure the French are happy. Nothing like beating someone at something they invented. Oh well. God gives grace to the humbled. So Congratulations LANCE!!! Today we sent up another bird after 2 and a half years! I was afraid we were going to start... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Interesting Encounter

The restaurant Veggie Heaven is my weekly haunt. Now that my diet class has moved to Mondays, I go there right after class and get dinner before going to work. Last night I took my August copy of Business 2.0 magazine in with me. I sat down catty-corner at a table next to this incredibly beautiful... Sign in to see full entry.

Socialized Medicine-ophobia

What are we really afraid of? Is having healthcare and access to healthcare NO LONGER be a question of profitability NECESSARILY a slippery-slope to communism? Is socializing something necessarily socialism? I don’t think anyone working in the "private sector" doesn’t have some problem with having... Sign in to see full entry.

Relationships: 10 Things

Each relationship I have allows me to more clearly define what it is I DON’T want. So after an infinite number of failed relationships, I will have a perfect image of what I don’t want. Then my task will be to simply find her opposite. I am sure Dr. John Gray would not like that bit of reasoning.... Sign in to see full entry.

Twins Perhaps

This is a screen grab from my Match.com emailed matches this morning. Say you're in New York state and you do a search. She pops up. How are you going to know about Seattle? Maybe it's legit. Maybe she's twins. Maybe it's one woman who has homes on both coasts, in which case one might say she's a... Sign in to see full entry.

OBESITY: It's Not All Your Fault

America is a nation of addicts. We are addicted to petroleum, alcohol, sugar, meat, sex, money, violence, and more. When I say we I in no way exempt myself. I'm just as much the crackhead as the rest of you. We've chosen some of these addictions and others are part of time-honoured traditions handed... Sign in to see full entry.

Then Why?

If there is no connection to the London bombings, then why is this man dead? I cannot crawl inside the cops' heads to find out what pressures they were under and what they were thinking when they pulled the trigger. I know split second decisions have to be made sometimes and you have to live with... Sign in to see full entry.

BORING

I changed the lead-in on my profile on Match.com to a Spanish phrase I heard some years ago, "Lo que tu digas, mi amor." For those of you who don't habla, that means "Whatever you say, my love." So I get this email back from Match saying that they couldn't approve my profile change because part of... Sign in to see full entry.
