It snowed today, which is a relatively unusual event for those of us who live in the South. It was supposed to be pretty spectacular so I thought I’d take a time lapse series of it to show how it progressed. Well, it wasn’t all *that* spectacular, but here are the pictures nonetheless: Click on … Continue reading A rare snow in Marietta
Boy! Talk about “Edgy”. Do NOT read this comic strip if you are easily offended. But I find that the humor here absolutely tickles me. You have been warned! Click the image above or click here.
When natural gas prices went through the roof I took a look at our heating system. We have a single central forced air system that supplies our entire house. This isn’t terribly unreasonable considering that we live in a single story ranch (no basement, no steps at all). But, even with a programmable electronic thermostat, … Continue reading Kill A Watt EZ P4460 – DeLonghi SafeHeat radiator
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
