Guest_5247 asked recently in the shoutbox “How often do you reply to the comments in the shoutbox?” The answer is, unfortunately, not as frequently as we would like. We get a massive amount of spam in the shoutbox. And that can be a huge task. Remember, visitors don’t see all the [...]

Raining In February

Saturday, February 27th, 2010 @ 11:30 pm | Bitching | By: Midwestern City Boy

California Girl and I are getting very tired of emergencies.  Lately, it seems like the only luck we have is bad. On Friday, we had to go went deep into our “rainy day” fund. And, even when we’re not spending money unexpectedly, we’ve always got April 15th lurking in the back of our minds. We [...]

HNT – 234

Thursday, February 25th, 2010 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

In a continuing effort to drive away these dreary February days, we are once again featuring one of the summer outfits that I gave California Girl for her birthday. Like most all of the clothes that I have given her it’s tight in all of the right places. It’s kinda skimpy so she’ll have to [...]

Two For Tuesday – 226

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 @ 1:50 am | Photos, TFT | By: Midwestern City Boy

Someone observed that that the pictures in one of HNT posts earlier this month seemed out of order, so, even though we like the second photograph better, the pictures in today’s Two For Tuesday post appear in the order taken. My weekend wasn’t as uneventful as I would have liked; so I really appreciated the [...]

Life Happens

Sorry that we haven’t been around the blogosphere much lately; but, like all of you, we live in the real world too; and, sometimes, life gets in the way. It wasn’t one big thing; so much as it was an accumulation of a bunch of little things. First, when I was running on the treadmill, [...]

HNT – 233

Thursday, February 18th, 2010 @ 12:00 am | HNT, Photos | By: Midwestern City Boy

Osbasso requested that everyone publish a Winter Olympics themed post for this week’s HNT. We decided to use today’s post to pay our respects to Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili, who suffered a fatal crash while training at Whistler the day before the 2010 Games officially opened. We did not and will not watch the video [...]

2,500,000 Visitors

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010 @ 12:00 am | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

Married In Ohio went over 2,500,000 visitors sometime Tuesday evening! That’s a lot of visitors even for five years; especially since we don’t count robots, feed readers, or other tools which don’t support cookies. We look at it more as a measure of our longevity rather than as a measure of our popularity. We’re not [...]

Two For Tuesday – 225

Today is Fat Tuesday. Very often we try and do something fun for Mardi Gras; but, with two feet of snow on the ground and a 20mph wind blowing it around, we decided to stay inside and have some timeless fun. We did take a good photo for the upcoming Winter Olympics themed HNT before [...]
