This movie snuck up on me, I hadn’t heard of it before and even though it was just released and starred Christian Slater, William H. Macy and Elisha Cuthbert it was selling for only $14 at Shit-Mart. I picked it up, set it up for rent and since it was still in one night [...]

I was beginning to wonder where winter was hiding, but I found out this morning. We woke up to over 6 inches of the white stuff on the ground and it was still coming down. This was the first time this year that I actually had to shovel the driveway, and hopefully it’s [...]

New kid on the block? Well, not really new, but relatively unheard of. A new site which allows users to submit original tutorials and how to articles, and then offers that content to webmasters who can freely publish the articles on their websites.
A place like this is great for both writers and publishers because [...]

Identity Theft Prevention

Moving Along

I can’t believe I completely forgot to take pictures before we started moving things in. Oh well, I remembered when a lot of the stuff was already dragged over but before we started to put it where it belongs. So, here’s a few pictures of our half moved mess, I’ll try to take [...]
