Closed For About A Week

Family is more important than blogging, and with my sister visiting from the East Coast, I would rather spend time with her than on a computer.  But that’s not to say I might sneak a post or two along the way – you should just not expect anything.

In the mean time, feel free to leave a comment about whatever.  Maybe you always wanted to ask me a question or wondered about something but never had a chance to ask me.  So shoot, and I may just end up posting a answer to them.

Grace.

Banker Helps Baby Ducks

This is a few days old as I saw it on the news, but I just took the time to find the story online.  It’s cute and touching all in one.  Watch and say, “Ahhhhhh.” If you haven’t seen this, watch it, it will be the best two minutes of your day – online at least.

It’s a dog-eat-dog world, isn’t it?

RunPee

In short, know when to pee while at a movie.  What a great idea.  They even take it a step further by not only telling the specific time to go and what’s happening, but there’s a section that’s scrambled that tells you what you missed – just click the unscramble button to discover what you really missed.

This site would have come in handy during my Angles and Demons experience.

Speaking of which, a reader was nice enough to send me this shirt.

After the Rapture: Orlando man will deliver messages to those left behind

There are those who believe in the Rapture prophesied in the Bible. And there is Joshua Witter, avowed atheist.

They need each other.

At least some people think so — those willing to pay Witter to be their post-apocalyptic postman, delivering cards and letters to their non-believing friends, relatives and neighbors who will be left behind when the Day of Reckoning arrives.

About 70 people have paid the Orlando man about $5 apiece to get their messages to those doomed to face the plagues, pestilence and darkness of Armageddon.

Bag of Randomness

  • Talk about an ironic tattoo.
  • Oh to be young, single, only care about self image and forget about finanical planning again . . . I found two 2005 Maseratis with under 30,000 miles for under $45,000 on sale at a local dealership.  If I got one of those I could probably roll with Vincent Chase.
  • All the local sports radio stations seem to be hyping the Rangers and are upset that they aren’t getting proper national recognition.  I’m sorry, I’ll root root root for the home team, but I know they are the Rangers who have never won a playoff series and more than likely will never win one in my lifetime.
  • I see that the Palm Pre will be available for purchase on June 6 – oh yes, it will be mine.
  • I’ll dare say it, it’s going to be better than an iPhone.
  • Its success will depend on Palm and Sprint’s marketing plan, and nobody markets better than Apple, especially over the past five or so years.
  • I had to got to the doctor because of a case of hives.  Not HIV, but hives.
  • I read that the Hubble will never be touched again.  I bet sometime in the very far future it will be in a museum, either on Earth, space, or the moon.
  • I enjoyed watching Newt Gingrich and Jon Stewart talk on The Daily Show. Both men seemed to have a pretty civil conversation and were real substantive.  I think Newt made some really, really good points regarding Pelosi, but I really didn’t agree with anything else he said.
  • Lady Gaga was on the Dancing With The Stars. The first words out of WifeGeeding’s mouth, “She’s white?!?”
  • I hear only 20% of college graduates are able to find a job.  They might be better off riding out the recession and going straight to grad school.
  • May sweeps brings out the worst in local news.  Last night the teaser story was about doctor offices and germs.  Well, duh.  Sick people, especially sick children, go to the doctor and congregate in a waiting room for somewhat long periods of time – germs are going to happen.  Then you leave to go get medicine and feel better.  Probably one of the dumbest news segments I’ve seen in a while.
  • Speaking of the doctor, I can’t believe how well the shot he gave me helped reduce the swelling of my hives.  That, along with my oral medication made them pretty much gone by the end of the night.
  • A very interesting assignment. Google the place, you’ll be fascinated.
  • I saw this segment on child preachers, well, in particular one child preacher, on Nightline the other night.  ShowBiz or Salvation?
