   Crap I’ll Never Understand Part I

   blogged by Michael on 6:01 pm » 3 Comments »

   Just the beginning of what I’m sure will be an ever growing list.

   * It costs a small fortune to file for bankruptcy. I thought bankrupt means you don’t have any money.

   * My liquid dish soap boasts that it has “Real Lemon”, while the lemonade I drink has artificial flavoring.

   * Why the American government has a tax system that, the more financially successful you are, the more you are penalized for being successful.

   * Why women go to the restroom together in public places. I have never gotten a straight answer on this one.

   * When you’re 14 you pay the adult movie… Continue reading

   The toy aisle

   blogged by Michael on 12:02 am » 1 Comment »

   Tonight I was walking through Walmart with my 5 year old granddaughter, and naturally we ended up in the toy department. Of course I’ve been through Wally World before, but haven’t really ever been a big fan of them, so I usually get kids gifts at other places when I need to.

   Holy shit! I guess I need to admit to being out of touch with what kids like today, or… Continue reading

   Welcome, Peyton

   blogged by Michael on 5:10 am » 2 Comments »

   Last night about 9:45 I started celebrating the birth of my second grandchild. “Peyton” was due in April, but apparently he wasn’t quite willing to wait much longer. Naturally I’ve been anxious for his arrival, but I guess I’ve also been wondering what type of world he will live in when he’s a teen, a young adult, even when he’s my age.

   Today we live in an age of terrorism… Continue reading

   9-5 + 5-9

   The American dream, as I always understood it, is supposed to be being able to find & create opportunities, work hard, and achieve your own level of success. The freedom to learn what you want to learn, do what you enjoy, and prosper ( or try to, anyway ) …. who wouldn’t follow through and pursue their own dream?

   Like many others, I decided some time back to work at my own business. So, just over a year ago I started my own web design company. Just me… Continue reading

   That Entrecard thing …. and a contest

   blogged by Michael on 1:29 pm » No Comments »

   Many bloggers know what Entrecard is, many blog readers don’t. If you look over to the right, you’ll see a box that says “Entrecard”, with an image ad in it. It is basically a way for bloggers to advertise on each others blogs.

   Anyway, WebmasterPlaza is having a contest to give away credits for Entrecard members. So if you have an Entrecard account, be sure to check it out… Continue reading

   Old Flames

   I’ve never been quite sure how to feel when people I’ve dated in the past pop up out of nowhere. Thankfully it doesn’t happen often, but when it does you get a lot of weird thoughts going.

   Usually if I date someone and it doesn’t work out, we part as friends, do the occasional “Hi, how are… Continue reading

   Firefox ….. who needs another reason to use it?

   blogged by Michael on 6:25 pm » No Comments »

   I always tell people that don’t use Firefox that they should. Besides the better security, available templates, and endless add ons that you can use with it, here are 2 more reasons to switch. Continue reading

    Election burn out

    blogged by Michael on 11:00 am » 1 Comment »

    I have to admit that I think this whole election process sucks. It seems to be a never ending, dirt digging, opponent slamming, false promise system that takes to long, costs too much money, and leaves many of us even more confused the longer it goes.

    I’m tired of hearing promises of what will happen when someone is elected, when those promises usually don’t happen. I’m sick of false and misleading… Continue reading
