Random Photo Opp.


This is one of my 2 dogs that I have, both Dachshunds. This just cracked me up something fierce when I was able to get this picture. She's had a lot of great photo moments, but every time I try to get my phone or camera to take a picture, she's catches on and ruins the pose. This was indeed a rare moment, the dog has super powers of hearing, I'm convinced.

Kinda looks like radar, ay?

Added Christmas Joy ala the Boondocks Part II

This is what happens after the letter. I still think it's hilarious a year later.


Added Christmas Joy ala the Boondocks

I mentioned the Boondocks, so for those who are easily offended, don't play this. Please keep in mind that I am an equal opportunity offender.


Christian County Tax Collector: Ted Nichols

Okay, I don't know about how people outside of Christian County deal with their property tax statements (for the home), but here our tax collector mails them to us and not our mortgage lender. I've lived in a lot of places around the country and for me, this was a first. I can't understand why I get the statement, it would cost the same to mail it to my bank and not me. I don't know if it is because of a lack of effort or lack of knowledge. Does anybody else have a problem with this?

The Scrooge Report




Some one I know told me that she was asked to come in to work at Walmart around midnight on Christmas Day. They did this to her last year and they tried to do it again this year. When she said no, they decided to call her in on her day off a few days after Christmas. She is normally off on Wednesdays and Thursdays so they shorted her a day that week, afterall, they didn't want her to miss out on "holiday pay." Does anybody want to take this time to report a Scrooge?

Mission Impossible: Phase 3 Random Acts of Kindness

Things are actually starting to look up for me. Today, I find myself at Bestbuy getting some things and had some discount coupons I printed off. I had a few extra so,while checking out I got a great idea and started handing them off to people at random while finishing up. I got a few mixed reactions, mostly the "confused" look and a few genuine thanks from others. This got me to thinking about doing this as a future behavior change for me. I'm going to start handing out any extras I can print or cut out for people, it really made me feel good knowing I was able to save people some money.

Uh Yeah...About Those Inches...


This is not a complaint, think of it as more of a friendly jab to a certain *eh hem* weather man that supported the huge snowfall expectation for today. Funny, ain't it just like a man to promise around 8 inches and not deliver?
