It Just Gets Better

Monday, August 11th, 2008 @ 11:30 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

I ordered The Boy a laptop for another company this morning and though that everything was good. Then, when I checked my email after watching the Bengals beat the Packers, I had an email from Dell notifying me that they had shipped my computer and it should be here on Wednesday. So, now I have [...]

Due To Unforeseen Circumstances

Saturday, August 9th, 2008 @ 11:31 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

Your order is further delayed and we need your permission to… This was the email that greated me when I check my email when I got home on Friday. When your son is leaving for college in less than two weeks discovering that the vendor still can’t ship his laptop after waiting for a month [...]

HNT – 153

We had quite a storm on Tuesday. As a result there was no thought of going outside. We’re just glad that we didn’t lose electricity. Some areas nearby were not so lucky. Since we’ve taken so many pictures in the bedroom, we decided to take a few pictures in the master bathroom as I got [...]

Two For Tuesday – 146

Other than a few quick posts, we haven’t been around blogland much any for the past few days. We’ve been busy trying to get everything done before The Boy goes off to college. We don’t mind when we don’t have time to post ourselves; but we really miss visiting everyone’s blog and seeing how they [...]

A New Resolve

The Girl and I were involved in a philosophical discussion until the early hours of the morningon Tuesday/Wednesady. It was a “good” conversation, especially considering the last few posts where I lamented that she wasn’t learning the lessons of life. She seems to have a better outlook and a better understanding of things. And, she [...]

Stupid Spammers

I knew that it was only a matter of time; but whoever writes the spam robots had finally adapted to the anti-spam measures that I was using on the shoutbox. The funny thing is that I don’t allow URLs in shouts so there’s really no purpose. That’s the problem with spam. It causes aggravation for [...]

We Go By My Mickey Mouse

The Girl stayed out too late and got herself grounded. That was hard to do since I was flexible in what time I expected her to be home. Unfortunately for her, she didn’t return when she said she would. Doing things that she says she’s going to do when she says that she’s going to [...]
