Monday Thoughts

  • I have decided that CVS is better than Walgreens.
  • Saturday I had a game day with Chris and James (and Candice).
  • The board game Rockettville should be called Futrama: the board game.
  • Only 1 house showing this weekend. Things are really slowing down...
  • Why do cats 'ick ick ick' when they see birds?
  • The wife has less than half a month of school left! Yoohoo!
  • I am going to be signing up for school after she gets a job. Probably AIU or Phoenix.

Thursday Thoughts

  • Ate at Joe's Pizza and Pasta in Decatur today. It's great food but I don't feel they will be around in another year.
  • Still a little sick. I hope this clears up soon.
  • It's Thursday that mean Chris will be over for our weekly meeting.
  • We will be shooting more of episode 1 tonight (of season 3).
  • I found one of my lost childhood treasures online (after years of searching). Here it is. My imagination had made it much better than it actually is.
  • Cleaned out the fish tank again last night. What a chore. They are dirty fish.
  • Watched Saw 6 last night too. The story is getting so convoluted its hard to keep up with.
  • Still never heard from the Wise County Messenger. They interviewed us for the community focus several months back... yet another letdown.

Monday Thoughts

  • After a couple of weeks dry spell it rained. This time I was ok with the rain.
  • I have been slowly cleaning up little areas aound the house as I have free time (under cabinets etc).
  • Still no buyers. The 8,000 tax rebate ends at the end of the month. If someone is going to buy it, it better be before then.
  • The pool is full to capacity with all the rain. It's time to pump some of it out.
  • I probably won't be able to swim until mid May (when it will be warm enough).
  • I need a wet but no wind day for burning.
  • Still mildly sick. Will this crud ever go away!?
  • I am editing Season 3 episode 1 now. I really need to finish season 2!

Monday Thoughts

  • I have been sicker than a dog for the last 5 days. I hope I am beyond the halfway point.
  • IMO weddings are such a waste of money. I like them enough, they just cost soo much.
  • Have you ever thought how much of your actual pay goes to taxes? I mean ALL taxes (not just the ones that you see on your pay stub) like sales tax, auto registration, auto inspection, gasoline tax (you know).
  • I think that if you tallied it all up you would see you pay about 50% or more of your pay to the government.
  • Some studies suggest it's more like 65%.
  • It's all hidden so it's less noticeable and the people don't revolt.
  • If they took it all out at once I think you would find many many more people voting.
  • I watched Clue this weekend. I love that movie.

Thursday Thoughts

  • How can the government, in this time of great economic woe (jobless claims rose more than expected) turn around and create massive debt (the 'health bill') and ignore the suffering of the nation. Will they get away with it during the election???
  • Another note about Ben Franklin: He came up with the term on all our currency: e pluribus unum. He also designed the first US currency.
  • I am sick but I don't know who gave it to me. Everyone around me is sick at the moment.
  • I had to work on the pipes under the house for the last couple of days. What a drag!
  • This weekend is going to suck big time. I just want it over.
  • Am I the only one who isn't very interested in 3D movies. I think it would be too distracting to have to wear glasses.
  • I will however see Tron Legacy in 3D.

Monday Thoughts

  • People who eat salad are RUDE. Case in point: the wife and I went to Soupersalad this weekend and saw whiny person after whiny person. They need some protein.
  • People who eat fancy food are RUDE. Sunday we went to Cheesecake Factory. Whiny people EVERYWHERE. Complain complain complain.
  • We truly live an a nation of selfish and spoiled people.
  • Some interesting fact about Benjamin Franklin: He invented the first battery, the matching grant, the lighting rod, and bifocals. Dude was smart.... he never went to college.
  • Walked the trinity yesterday it was nicer later in the day so it was very pleasant.

Wednesday Thoughts

  • Wednesdays is Mexican food day at work. Taco Salad is the best.
  • I have been watching the British comedy The League of Gentleman. It's pretty good.
  • The house is listed now and we had one showing.
  • It can rain all it wants now that I am done working outside.
  • Decatur just had it's library book sale. Man I love those.

Friday Thoughts

  • I got out in the yard yesterday and did a lot of work. Its like a swamp so needless to say I was very muddy when I was done.
  • I cleaned out the fireplace last night and used my shopvac to get the last bits in the corners. When I was done I got up and looked around... the house was shrouded in 'fog'. Time to get the duster out.
  • The A/C people came out to work on the heater... they didn't fix it. Its less than a year old and it has been worked on twice now.
  • I did a crap load of work yesterday. The house lists on Wednesday! Still have a lot to do but I might get it all done.
  • Been without cable for 3 months now... still doing fine.

Wednesday Thoughts

  • It supposed to rain again today... Will it ever NOT rain for more than a week?
  • It's been wet/muddy outside since October.
  • I am hopping around the house trying to get it ready to show for selling but it's hard when you can't do much outside.
  • My Cyberpunk 2020 CCG store got an actual customer the other day! Wow.
  • I purchased 3 pallets of that card game a couple of years ago now and I am still selling it (here and there). It will take me years more probably but I think in the end I will have had made a lot off of them.
  • Persistence pays off.
  • Maybe I can use the funds from that to help counter all the new taxes and inflation caused by the new 'pay for lazy people' healthcare system.
  • The shell station up the street has the best crispitos but they have been soggy lately.
  • They added one of those Hunt Bros. Pizza counters in there so I am guessing all their fresh stuff is suffering.
