I can’t tell if I’m getting sick or is it just allergies. You just gotta love North Texas when it comes to allergies.
Watched a Robert Ballard special on the National Geographic Channel the other night. It turns out when he said he was looking for the Titanic, he was actually looking at submarine wreckage for the Navy. He worked out some sort of deal with the Navy did did allow him to hunt for the Titanic after he finished working for them. It was really fascinating.

I was watching the news about the fall in the Dow Jones Industrial Average last night and an analyst stated, “It’s as if the last 11 years haven’t happened.” That put things into perspective for me in how far the Dow has dropped.
I can’t believe the heads of the big three automakers went to Washington asking for money and not being able to explain how much they need and what exactly would they do with it. Comic
SisterGeeding in the the David Letterman audience the other night. Before the show he took questions, but never called on her. Too bad, because she had a really good question: Do you already have a guess for what kind of pie your mother is going to make for Thanksgiving? In case you don’t know, every Thanksgiving Letterman has a satellite feed to his mom’s house and he tries to guess the pie that she made.
WifeGeeding noticed that the Arm and Hammer box that we put in the fridge use to say replace after 3 months, but now it says 30 days.
MC Hammer needs to be on Dancing With The Stars.
The new Cowboys stadium in Arlington keeps getting all these high profile events, and I can’t help but what a shame it is that the Stadium isn’t located closer to downtown Dallas and Victory Park.
I can only name three of the Jackson Five: Michael, Tito, Jermain.
There was an episode of Cheers where Cliff was trying to name the seven deadly sins and confused them with the seven dwarfs. The thought of that scene still makes me laugh.
Here’s a somewhat interesting article on NFL sideline technology.
I’ve notice stores are starting to move towards the cattle call method to have customers check out. That is, all customers stand in one line (as opposed to multiple lines for multiple separate registers) as a greeter tells them which open register in a line full of registers is available. It may be more efficient, but I do feel like I’m part of a herd.
A blog about stores that have open signs but are clearly closed.
Re: the “Clearly Closed” link – there is a Wal-Mart on 75-Central at Midpark that is most definitely closed – all the signage has been removed and there is virtually no activity around it, except for the gas station on the property. There was a sign a few weeks ago saying the store was closing on Nov 11 and would reopen on Nov 12, but it closed, and hasn’t reopened – I went in on November 6 and the cupboard was nearly bare – they were gearing up (or down) for something, and there were signs with “Mandatory Meeting Notices” for managers, associates and other employees. HERE’S the truly ironic part – there has been a billboard for a few weeks that can be seen on northbound 75 touting the “now open” and “New” store at 75 and Midpark. And THEN, for a few days after November 12, there was even a “Location Available” sign above the entrance, giving one to believe that Wal-Mart was abandoning the location – that sign is now gone, but nothing else appears to be happening. Very strange, but not surprising…
Were you by chance watching ABC News? I heard the same line (as if the past 11 years never happened)

if you can somehow capture all of that in a photograph, you should do it and submit it to the site! 🙂
Happy goat? Freaky goat. And the “east – west” map confused me… Geesh. I’m a complainer. I think it’s the freaky goat’s fault – put me in a mood. 🙂
Marlon and Randy are the other Jackson brothers. Just for some FYI, Rebbie, Janet and Latoya are the girls.
The baking soda in the fridge?- No worky, market ploy to sell gazillions of tons of BS Get it ? ha ha
