My wife enjoys the songs put out by the group Lady Antebellum. I had often wondered about the name, but not enough to actually try and dig up why they chose it or what it means. Then, recently I stumbled across the word "antebellum" a couple of times in one day and realized I didn't really know what it meant. So I looked it up and found that is ( Read more... )

A True Story in Three Parts

Part I
We moved into our house about three and half years ago. As with most any house that you buy, we needed a refrigerator. Not having a whole lot of cash (nor space, to be realistic), we found ourselves a decent Whirlpool, side-by -side model with our absolutely necessary, can't live without feature of water and ice ( Read more... )

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh, the first cool day after a long, hot summer. Yesterday's high was in the mid 70's, with an overnight low in the high 50's. It won't last, unfortunately, but it was a great, spirit freshening day and really makes me anxious for fall/winter (such as those seasons exist here).

Okay all you (ex- and current) cammies out there, I need some help. I was going through some old boxes I had and I came across a piece of mail that was meant for someone else. In the vauge haze that is my memory, I remember helping this person out by collecting her mail for a time after she moved and I've found a piece of it that she would be ( Read more... )

Fall is here, and with a vengence! Two days ago, we had high temperatures in the upper 80's, lower 90's. Yesterday it was about 55°F when I left for work (with a high in the mid 60's) and today it was 43°F! It was the first night we slept without the fan on since we moved in back in August. It was also the first time that I was glad to have a ( Read more... )

Today was the first day of fall, and boy did we fall. All we can do is pick out the glass and gravel, get back on and keep riding.

In the mean time, here's a few song clips floating about my head at the moment. No use trying to analyze the whole song, just take the pieces as they are.

I get knocked down,
but I get up again

While the so called religous right and I don't often agree on things, we do find ourselves on thie same side of the fence on the issue of implanting RF tags in people. While I decry the loss of privacy angle, I'm not going to argue if someone else refuses because they don't want to take up "the mark of the beast". The more people we have against ( Read more... )

I got a new cell phone (thank you sweetheart!) last night. It's a vast upgrade from the basic model I had (and that's counting two warrenty repair upgrades from the even more basic one I bought four years ago when I first signed up). It came with a request that I change my number, though. Considering I've been in an area code different than the one ( Read more... )
