Office Football Pools for the Completely Ignorant
I am not a football fan. I never watched football growing up. On the rare occasions when we watched any sports on TV, it was usually tennis or the Olympics. My dad didn't even watch football, unless he had a wager on a game. He p
Alvin and the Chipmunks movie and dinner at Buffet Star
My kids and I haven't been out in awhile to do anything very fun. Saturday the weather report showed snow so I didn't dare go out. Sunday rolled around and there had been no snow at all. I decided to take the kids out to the movies (at the Cinema Saver) to

Just Watched American Dreamz
It's really not my fault. &lexiconlover tricked me into doing it. Just kidding. The truth is that K and I had added the Hugh Grant movie AMERICAN DREAMZ (yes, dreams with a 'z') to our list of movies to be watched on Netflix during the week an
Review: El Sabor Casero -- Mexican Restaurant
In an area where there are a lot of Mexican restaurants and the food is not much better than Taco Bell, catering mostly to the gringo crowd, I found a little restaurant that is a family-owned place. El Sabor Casero (The Homemade Taste) is a ti
Nudity in advertisements
Nowadays, when I look at #advertisements shown on television, I think the ad companies have come up with a simple formula. If the product relates to a man, put one naked male model and a dozen semi naked female models in it. If the product, relates to a
Videoke Monster At Large
Funny that my previous captcha was 'civil war'. I immediately remembered Guns N' Roses' song with the same title. The song is from the band's double album entitled Use Your Illussions. The track is the first song in the Use Your Illusions II album and cloc
How to ensure unhappiness in life
There are some #habits and personality traits that can ensure UNHAPPINESS in people no matter who they are or where they are. One such habit is being #negative and complaining loudly….all the time. Have you ever seen the person in a #restaurant,
A reminder that good mental health is important...
I'm sure many of you have heard about the Germanwings incident by now, and the press is now reporting that the pilot had been dealing with mental illness. The tragedy has definitely highlighted the stigma of mental illness, and I'm hoping that this brings
Family Time (and Other Notes)
I had an awesome day with my wife & son, we went to eat at a #MexicanRestaurant & then went to #Wal-Mart for a bit. Later, Courtney & I relaxed while Eli went to sleep. We watched Netflix & I took some #photographs while Courtney worked on
Buffalo Wild Wings-Twin Falls, Restaurant Review
Buffalo Wild Wings is a restaurant in #TwinFalls Idaho. It's style is that of a sports "bar & grill" type #restaurant. Honestly, they have good #food, and a cool set up, but they are a bit pricy. I can honestly say I would not mind going back, but t
Why does EVERYTHING have to be branded these days????
Ranty McRanterson wants a #rant. Sometimes, things I sell on #eBay are not branded, or to be honest, the labels have been cut out because they're itchy scratchy little blighters. But dearest eBay-san still wants everything to have a #brand. Even if it's
Valentine's Day is a Crock
Valentine's Day, for want of a better word, is a CROCK. I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the U.S., the pressure is building for Saturday's Extravaganza of Romance - Yes, the fluttering in your heart made manifest in the per
Groundhog Day - NOT the movie
Tomorrow is Groundhog Day. We all know what that means: if the groundhog sees his shadow when he comes out of his burrow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If he does not see his shadow, then spring will come early. Accordi
Diary – Thursday 29th January 2015
A lot of little tasks today, and mainly sorting out a restaurant deposit for my birthday meal a week on Sunday. I travelled through increasingly horrible weather into Manchester by Metrolink tram, and after going to the restaurant, I hit the centr
Watched Big Hero 6 and ate at Little Caesars
Last Saturday I took my two children to the Cinema Saver which is a theater that has discounted pricing. It was $2 a ticket for each of us. It was my daughter's turn to pick out a movie and she chose Big Hero 6. It has been in the theater for a long
Christmas Songs Project - "Grown-Up Christmas List"
Christian recording star turned pop diva Amy Grant released this song back in 1992. She had already released a Christmas album by then, and had been featured as a vocalist on another. This track was included on her second solo Christmas album, "Home For Ch
Overprotective Parenting?
What is your parenting style? I am not a parent and I don't plan to be for at least a few more years. I would say that I grew up in a somewhat sheltered household. My parents raised my 2 younger sisters and I in a Christian home. If it matters, I
Just My Opinion on Bubblews
I know I am not really fond of writing about Bbblews but I see so many people #complaining. Yes I was also one who had not been paid and a lot of times too. I would #rant and #rave (but not here there was no other site) in group forums. I emailed them a lo
I Said My Piece
I said my piece. Or rather, I wrote my piece. #Disclaimer, this is another post about the bubble world. You have been warned. So, I made a redemption last June 30. July is gone and we are almost at the end of the first week of August. Still nothing. Not
DAD, MOM, I AM GAY!
Five years ago, our only daughter, who was then 25 years old and the youngest of our four children, dropped by our place one Sunday evening and told us to dress up as she was treating us a sumptuous dinner at our favorite Filipino restaurant. My wife
George Will's Solution to the Influx of Immigrant Children
George Will left Chris Wallace of “Fox News Sunday” speechless by presenting a flawless case for allowing the thousands of children who have come to the U.S. illegally to stay. Mr Will succinctly pointed out that there are 3,144&

I JUST HAVE TO LET THIS OUT
Forgive me for this is purely a #rant. I was just on #Facebook a while ago and read someone's post in our community group page. She was just mad as hell that her brother was fined a certain amount for not being able to give the monthly contributions
