Having my eBay account hacked really has bothered me, I think I’m actually going to change my passwords to all my accounts at least once a month.
A radiologist sent a bill in the mail and doesn’t accept any online payment, so I wrote a check, and without even thinking twice about it, I dated it with the correct year.
I keep a fine point Sharpie for the sole purpose of signing the back of new credit and debit cards.
I stayed in my upstairs office working a little later than normal and then the kids walked in ready to play. I logged off my work computer almost instantly since there wasn’t anything pressing.
In that picture in the link above you’ll see that DaughterGeeding is dressed as Batman. We’ve been watching a lot of the Batman television show from the 60’s, and when she play fights she’ll say “Bam! Pow! Smack!” But yesterday she threw in, “SLICE! I’m gonna slice your eyeball!” Hey kid, tap them brakes.
CBS11 will be looking for a new sports director as Babe Laufenberg couldn’t reach a new agreement with the station. When he first started I thought he was horrible, but he certainly improved over the years. Publicly he comes across as very friendly and personable, but in my one encounter with him at Reunion Arena he was a bit of a jerk that seemed full of himself.
Jason Garrett was a third string quarterback for the Cowboys and later became a head coach in the NFL. Since Babe was a third string quarterback for the Cowboys, I bet he’s thinking he could do the same thing.
I bet Babe stays in the market, probably working for the Cowboys since he already does their radio broadcast, but I’m not sure how he’s gonna feel about the pay cut.
I don’t think Cowboys fans have fully forgiven him for his play against the Eagles back in 1990 in Bounty Bowl II when the Cowboys needed to win one of their final two games to reach the playoffs and he lost them both as he played for an injured Troy Aikman. Laufenberg completed 13 of 36 passes with four interceptions. Okay, perhaps most Cowboys fans have forgiven him except for me and my good friend Bone.
I keep thinking about Ohio State QB Cardale Jones, the third stringer who won the three most important games of the season which ended in a championship. It’s just a really good story for coaches to teach their players. Sure, you may not be starting, or even be on the second string, but it’s important to continue to work hard because if the opportunity ever arises, it’s time to prove your worth.
What’s interesting about Cardale Jones is that he may not even be the starting QB next year, but at least he’ll get to compete with some solid stuff on his resume. If I were him, I’d turn pro. He’d probably get drafted towards the end of the draft, but will start earning a paycheck, learn, and won’t have to worry about any drama back at OSU.
I always thought Sen Marco Rubio had an issue with his hair thinning on top, and a quick search on Google shows I wasn’t the only one and he freely admitted it back in 2012 – Yahoo News – Washington Post. But as of late, it seems a lot thicker.
For some reason Buzzfeed thought it was newsworthy to report that Sen Ted Cruz once was ticketed for having alcohol as a teen. I really don’t understand what a common juvenile mistake has to do with anything about his character and the way he governs today. If companies like Buzzfeed think this stuff is important, there’s no telling what politicians will have to go through ten or so years from now as “reporters” start looking at tweets and Facebook posts made during their youth. Buzzfeed is a funny animal, they like pretending they are a respectable news source but will post stupid original content about women peeing standing up.
This article also lists the top 20 wealthiest members of Congress, and on that list, only one is from Texas, Rep Michael McCaul – It would take the combined wealth of more than 18 American households to equal the value of a single federal lawmaker’s household
Interesting George Lucas quote for you Star Wars fans – “The only thing I really regret about Star Wars is the fact I never got to see it – I never got to be blown out of my seat when the ship came over the screen. The next one, I’ll be able to enjoy it like anybody else.”
If I had a lot of financial wealth, instead of awarding scholarships, I’d give out something I refer to as post-scholarships. Those funds would go to people who are already out of school and have been making student loan payments for at least three years, and their monthly loan payment is a significant portion of their monthly income. The experience of being in the real world making student loan payments that seem forever to pay off and takes a huge chunk of your monthly income is different than the student getting free money to go to school.
As David Letterman is nearing his final show, his crew have been giving you a look behind the scenes on the web more and more. For example, most of his pre-show talk to the audience is now available on YouTube. Here’s on for ya.
GIF – That’s a lot of risk and effort to fix an AC unit.
Interesting BYU Study – When recess takes place before kids sit down to eat – instead of after – fruit and vegetable consumption increases by 54%.
Balloon message to dead father answered – Almost every year since her dad died of a brain aneurysm in 2010, 16-year-old Ashlynn Marracino has written him a letter on his birthday, January 6. But this year, she received an unexpected reply.
What happened to all the local earthquakes as of late?
A couple of years ago, one of Barry's posts inspired me to look into password managers. It took a while to convince me, but I started using one about a year ago. I couldn't agree with him more. I love it and I don't think I'd ever go back. It generates and stores complex passwords. http://www.liberallylean.com/2013/04/random-frida…
If you normalize for age and education, I'm guessing the Congressional net worth stat is probably not that much different than the country as a whole.
