Well this is weird. Marcie and I have been sending out a bunch of applications. For one position that I applied to, I got a rejection letter today saying 147 people had applied for that same spot. eek! Marcie had one interview at a district and was one of about I believe 4 to be intereviewed...but the position went to another gal that already had experience in that district. We havent heard anything for bites for about a month...and then this week happened Marcie managed to get th...

Marcie went up to MN a few weeks back...actually almost a month ago to take care of her mom who had hip replacement surgery. So that left me alone at the house for a few weeks until I went up to see them. Our anniversary is on the 24th of June and I decided to take my bike. I havent really been on any long rides with my bike...maybe 400-500 miles at most...if anything. The ride that I normally take from here to there is about 900 miles. Since Ive started riding, I've heard of this o...

I used to go to Blockbuster a couple of times a week when I was in college. Then I started doing some shopping around. Blockbuster wanted around 3 bucks for a new movie rental while Cashwise grocery wanted just $1.15 for the same thing. Well...no brainer there. When we moved out to Vegas, after a while, we signed up for Netflix and have been with them since. 19 bucks a month for unlimited rentals...3 at a time...watch one and send it back...boom..new movie at your door. Cant go wron...

Lately as Ive been doing nothing about my career as I don't know what I want to do....Ive been thinking more about the transport business. Specifically, auto / RV / Trailer transport that can be hauled by a regular truck. Ok well a regular, but beefy truck. For the life of me however, I can't figure out what that industry is called and exactly how it works. I figure its simply called "Auto Transport" but when I look up stuff on the internet, I can only find Big rig operaters. I can't...

Well, Im going to take a break from education for a while, maybe forever. I love teaching, but after a SNAFU first year, a second year as a para professional, and a third year which didnt go anywhere near how I wanted it to...I'm thinking I need to do something else to take my mind off and get back to me, being me. But Im not sure what that is. Since I was 14, Ive worked all sorts of jobs: paper carrier, dads restaurant, grocery store, wal mart, teacher, para professional, coal and ash...

This is Long Lost Moo, posting for the Ziggy since he's at work. Only 41 more days today. The music's good to go, the food's good to go, our marrige license is applied for. Moo is getting nervous! Just because she's a little shy about public speaking. Otherwise she's really excited. Anyway, I thought some of you might want to see our engagement picture. I'll make Ziggy put up our wedding pictures after June 24.

So here is our engagement picture. We took lots of different ones. We really liked our photographer, but their prices were fairly high. We both wanted to get pictures and all, but there was no way we could afford what we wanted so we just bought some of the smaller pics and hopefully that will work. Like I said, we took lots of different poses (poses? that just doesnt look right). Some were really nice, and some just looked silly because we couldnt help but laugh. Like one...we were ...

I work at Wal Mart. From time to time, I notice things that I think some customers may or may not be aware of. I figured I would share some of them that I can think of off the top of my head. I guess it might look like a rant, and I don't intend it to look that way. Just that I see or hear stuff sometimes that just gets me riled up bigtime. *If you need help, asking the nearest associate might not help you much at all. I used to work in Department 7 - Toys. Now I work in Department...

Ok so I know we have some medical geeks on this site; as well as there are probably some people that might have this happen to them from time to time. So, Im seeking advice, trying to figure out what this is. Now, I don't consider myself a fast eater. I don't scarf down food or inhale it. But, sometimes after a long day and Im really hungry and have a big dinner...I eat faster than normal. Over the period of about ten seconds...I feel the food going down my throat slowing down and...at...

Im not much of a spooky movie type of guy. Im the kind that jumps at the points in a movie when a guy jumps around a corner....etc. I just in general hate the horror genre because its just....all about killing people, etc. I never saw the Jason or Freddy movies, or Chucky...or anything else basically. When I think of the horror movies I like to watch....I like to think of it as a whole new genre...sort of like.....Horror Drama or Horror Suspense...something like that. You know...mov...

I dont know. Something about this picture...just makes me laugh. This lady is somewhere in a third world country, puffin on a smoke, lookin up at the sun during a solar eclipse with cardboard Pepsi sunglasses on. Found the pic at Drudges website.

Well...now that Marcie is no longer posting on this site...I need to fill you guys in once in a while on what is going on with the wedding. This past weekend, we looked at two jewelers for my ring. The first place had a decent selection, but nothing that really caught my eye. I guess, Im picky. I like gold, yellow gold..etc; but I didnt want a ring that was ALL gold or yellow gold. I wanted a mixture, like gold and silver. I didnt want just a plain jane ring either, but I didnt wa...

This is a branch off of a thread I made about a month ago about extremely easy stuff that you cant do. I thought about that thread and then thought about stuff that maybe people wanted to do at one time in their life, but havent, at least not yet. For example...when I was younger, I wanted to be a radio DJ. I ended up getting a degree in broadcasting and I worked in all aspects of radio about 6 years back; had a blast and want to get back into it, or possibly voice stuff in the futur...

Man this sucks. I mean...Flanders...this suck-diddly-ucks. Last Friday, in the afternoon...I started to feel a slower...I could tell I was getting a cold or something...wasnt sure exactly what it was. Marcie started to come down with the same thing. She ended up having a hard time sitting or laying down because her head hurt a lot when she tried to do that. I ended up going to bed that night just feeling punky. I woke up early the next morning to go to Work at Wal Mart and I wasn...

We do easy stuff all the time....like breathing for example. Others take effort on our behalf and it almost always is something that is a non-thinking skill...coming from memorization and endless learning, practice and use. But...I betcha that some people have a hard time with one or two simple things that should be fairly simple to do. I guess its one of those things that really torks me off...mainly because I don't know what is causing it. Its a really simple matter really. I can't...
