My friend at work bought another coworker and me a Christmas present.  He gave us websites and helped us set them up.  He's got server space and all the website stuff I need.  He has blogging software and all kinds of fun little add on stuff.  Earlier this month he helped me back up and copy over all my LJ posts - with comments! (OK, he actually ( Read more... )

It's illegal in some places to drive and talk on a cell phone.  Well, technically, that's not true.  It's illegal to drive a car and talk on a cell phone handset.  Personally, I think that's ridiculous.  I think this law was created as a reaction to moronic public outcry.  I don't think it makes one bit of difference if you're talking on a handset ( Read more... )

I lost a glove sometime last week.  I've checked all the places at home that it COULD be and haven't found it.  I was out and about with the kids a lot for a couple days when I  realized it was gone.  I really liked the pair I had and  I'm bummed one's gone - here's why ( Read more... )

My son's always been nuts about trains.  Recently, we went to an open house at a local model train club.  We learned that we could go back twice a month and actually drive a train.  We finally did that tonight.  He and I left the house to go to the train club when we normally started bedtime rituals.  He was totally pumped for it though ( Read more... )

It snowed about 3 inches of awesome packing snow today. After we ate dinner, I took the kids outside to play. I bought them kiddie sized shovels and they got busy helping me shovel. They really tried to help and that's what counts. After shoveling, I realized that we should build a snowman. The snow was AWESOME for it. I started snowballs for each ( Read more... )

Ever since my freshman year in high school, I helped with the Christmastime food drive at the church we went to.  I've done it  something like 18 years in a row.  Ray (they guy who's run it for 30 years) called me and left a message saying we'd meet at the church at 1pm and deliver the food at 5pm.  I called back and said I'd be there and would ( Read more... )

Good Morning all!

A pair of eye glasses were turned in at the front desk.

If you are missing eye glasses please check the front desk.

Thanks

If someone is missing eye glasses, how can they see to find the front desk?

I have little doubt this will be the start to a multi-reply all emailathon that will last ( Read more... )

I was explaining something to a co-worker and decided to use the "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" analogy.  I thought it would be quite appropriate to illustrate my point that we'd never know which one of the two things we were discussing came first, nor did it really matter.  I was already using my hands to show thing 1 and thing two, ( Read more... )

One of my neighbors referred to Com Ed as "Bagdad Power and Light" last night.  I thought that was quite funny given all the problems we've had recently with the reliability of power in our neighborhood.  As I walked down the street, I saw one neighbor packing up his generator to put it back in his garage.  He said his side of the street was out of ( Read more... )

My 6 yr old son tried to pull one over on my last night.  He told me that Hamburger was T-Bone's (from the Clifford the Big Red Dog series) BFF.  I saw from the little sparkle in his eye that he was just WAITING for me to ask what BFF meant.  I didn't take the bait.  He needs to know that dear old dad knows the lingo.  I replied with something like ( Read more... )
