Well Today we zipped over to the new town and I went to the apartment today to ponder what could go where and such. Upon closer examination...I realized that of all the money spent on rent and such...nothing is actually put back into the building. None of the windows open due to either malfunctioning mechanisms or because of woodrot. They claim the carpet is new, however one can see wear patterns and such (as well as the 'shadow' of the furniture that was there previously) So we are goi...

Well tonight, actually over the last day or so...Ive been rather torked off to say the least and another bloggers thread that she made, where my wife and I were not allowed to reply...or that if we did, they would be deleted. It started on my wifes blog, things were said, and from there, it moved to the other bloggers blog which turned into as she admitted it, a rant. To be honest, I actually started a lengthy reply. Couldnt really make it short as there was so much crap to go through ...

Well we are in the process of moving...sort of...just need to find a place to live and sell our house, lol little details. So my Marcie and I went to the town that she got hired in and for the life of us, we can't find anything available. There was one place we liked, but we couldn't get financing because of low credit figures for her and even though my number was higher, Im not working at the moment, so thats an issue there too. Even if I had a job, they would still take her low number w...

For the last few years, I've wanted to buy a product for my bike called a Back Off brake modulator...specifically the Wig Wag model. I first saw them while riding in a group a few years back and a couple of members had them on their bikes...and when they applied the brakes, the brake lights flashed in a pattern. This pattern was very useful in getting ones attention behind you as many accidents are from rear-end collisions. However, there is an issue in some places. Some states / ...

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...

Just got online tonight and saw an email from my mom (wish she called)...she told me that our cat Dusty put to sleep. Shes back in Northern MN and Im in southern WY. But we talked the other day and she said she was going to bring him in today because he simply hasnt been eating at all and was really boney. Hes always been a skinny cat...about ten pounds or so and on the longer side I guess. Apparently when she took him to the vet, the vet felt huge tumors in his spleen and figured they we...

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...
