In line at Walmart Returns
Customer: Can you hurry up? I'm on a schedule!
Employee (after ignoring the customer, says to another employee): Can you help him? 'He's on a schedule.'
Customer: Don't get an attitude with me, young lady!
Employee: I hope you're not talking to me.
Customer: I'm lookin right AT you! Have some respect!
Employee: (laughs under her breath, but makes it obvious that she definitely DOESN'T respect him.)

ADT, Brinks/Broadview, & other alarm system...
After recently going through the process of finding a company to install & monitor the alarm on my house, I felt inclined to write an article on my experience in hopes that it might help you. Beforehand, I knew very little about alarm systems. I had no idea that there were so many options. I’d heard of Broadview (formerly Brinks) & ADT. I didn’t even know there were other...

No Vests in Texas!
The other day I wore a puffy vest over my t-shirt. Someone said to me “man, I haven’t seen someone where a vest in YEARS!” I thought…seriously? Am I out of style, or has this guy been living under a rock for the past 5 years? I mean, TX is warm, but not THAT warm; and it’s not like I’m in some small hick town hundreds of miles from a major city. I’m in...

I looked up at his mother in shock, & then at the director who was also in shock...

While reading about an amazing story in a friends blog, I was reminded to share this story on my own. One time I was driving down the highway, and for some reason, a scene kept playing over and over in my head of a car going fast, turning the wheel as sharp as he could, causing the vehicle to flip.

Free up room & speed up your mac
While reading a magazine the other day, I jotted down some tips for…well…freeing up room on your mac, and speeding it up a little bit. So as I try them, I’ll jot them down here… 1- download this program at: http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/ - It’s free (donations accepted), and it removes any of the hundreds of languages from all programs on your mac. This freed up...

Some interesting wine facts I read today...
In ancient Babylon, the bride’s father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead (fermented honey beverage) he could drink for a month after the wedding. Because their calendar was lunar or moon-based, this period of free mead was called the “honey month,” or what we now call the “honeymoon.” Before thermometers were invented, brewers would dip a thumb or...
