Continuing with my mortgage saga, I went in yesterday morning and *finally* got this done. There was one nasty surprise waiting for me there. ANOTHER copy of that dreaded 4506-T “Request for Transcript of Tax Return” form. As before it was completely blank. I asked the lawyer (he represents the lender, like I have a … Continue reading Refinancing a mortgage with SunTrust – Done
I’ve never been real comfortable with “Ticketmaster”. Whenever I use the site they have service fee upon service fee heaped upon the purchase. They’re kind of like the “Bank of America” of ticket sellers. For example, last month I purchased tickets for a local play (Footloose) for myself, Michelle and 3 friends. The original ticket … Continue reading Ticketmaster and Mondial Assistance
I have a Vision Fitness T9200 Basic Treadmill with the simple console on it that I picked up almost exactly two years ago. Amazingly, I actually do use it regularly during the winter and on inclement days during the summer, preferring to run outside when I can but I *am* a fair weather runner. Can’t … Continue reading Vision Fitness – On the ball
Teamstudio recently had a contest where they wanted you to showcase your applications so that others can see what folks are doing out there and so you could toot your own horn a bit. My entry was probably a lot less snazzy than the ultimate winners (I haven’t seen them) as I tend to focus … Continue reading My Entry for Teamstudio’s Spotlight Award
After the disaster that was the Netgear Powerline Ethernet Adapters I was trepidatious about the technology. But, when I returned the Netgear adapters I went ahead and picked up the (much more expensive) Linksys PLK200 powerline adapters. Hmm… the box (and price) say PLK200 but the adapters themselves indicate that they are PLE200… *sigh* looks … Continue reading Linksys PLE200 (PLK200??) Powerline Ethernet Adapter and wireless mouse?
Absolutely stunning. That the exposure would actually work without the photographic media being utterly destroyed by the conditions (it began it’s exposure in *December*!). Still going strong with my love of altered time perception…
As I have no blog of my own, and no real time to blog, I shall “blog-squat” on Mr. Bourassa’s fine blog. I have grown lately, and that growth is unfortunately just more unwanted fat on my previously already-overweight frame. Exercise has unfortunately taken a backseat to schoolwork and wrangling kids when not doing said schoolwork. … Continue reading Exercising
Wow! A reasonably productive weekend… Let’s see, I got in my 5K interval training run, attended two get-togethers with friends, the power supply on my server in the back room blew so I replaced that yesterday, reconfigured the printer associated with the misbehaving server, took Michelle out to “The Cheesecake Factory” for a late lunch, … Continue reading Busy busy…
Whenever I’m in a store and I see one of those blood pressure monitoring stations I’m drawn to it like a moth to a light bulb. It’s like a video game only the results actually matter. I often take the reading over a shirt and am surprised that the gadget gives me any reading at … Continue reading ReliOn Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor
Back at the end of September, I splurged and picked up a Celestron SkyScout Personal Planetarium through Amazon. This gadget is amazing! Once its GPS acquires your position it can either direct you to pretty much any celestial body you are interested in or you can point it at anything you see in the sky … Continue reading My Personal Planetarium
