  • Night of the Running Dead 5k Race – I Hate Running!

    I last wrote about the benefits of using hot sauce as a way to avoid getting sick, which still is proving to work for me. I can’t remember the last time I got sick. However, all my comments were unfounded and based on my own observations. The other day I was visiting a neighbor and…

  • Hot Sauce: Prevents the Cold, The Flu and Bland Taste!

    I’ve never been one to get sick easily. However, every year during the winter months I would get a cold that would last for at least a month. My annual Cold was never bad enough to shut me down or cause me to miss work, but I would prefer to simply not get sick if…

  • I Was Not Invited To The BBQ, So I Made My Own!!!

    I have a friend that had a BBQ last night, which I was not invited to! So in retaliation I had my own BBQ. Now, I’m not one of those fancy East-siders so I didn’t have anything special, like table cloths or guests, but I managed to have a good time anyway. It was just…

  • My Bowling Failures Are Not My Fault. I’m Really Good!!

    I gave my old 16 pound bowling ball to my father-in-law because the holes were too big and I wanted a more controllable 14 pound ball. There’s a company in Logan, Storm, that makes a good ball so I went to my favourite pro-shop and got my new ball. The ball is nice with a…

  • A New Employer and The Boys Are Gone!

    I’ll start with the boys being gone. We had some foster kids in our home for about 9 months or so. I thought foster parenting would be similar to raising my own kids, except that the foster kids would respect us. I imagined us going out and doing fun things with the kids and hopefully…

  • Sometimes You Know Stuff That You Can’t Tell Anyone

    A couple weeks ago the company I’ve been working for the past 4 years, HIT Web Design, went out of business. I was extended an invitation to join a small number of former employees from HIT to go work at a new company that my former VP had started, ISO Web Works. Nobody knows what…

  • Stop Spreading The Rumors, I Don’t Care Any Longer!

    I’ve always had a habit of assuming the worst of a situation. For example, If my credit card statement is more than I think it should be than naturally someone stole my identity and charged up a ton of small priced frivolous items from stores that I frequently shop at. I’ve never had my identity…

  • Better Business Bureau (BBB): The Rotten Truth of Business

    It’s unfair to have an entity that looms over every business but has no accountability for their own actions. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is such a place. My company has a lot of complaints against it registered at the BBB. Some of these complaints are legit, but far too many are not. The fact…

  • Going to Court and WINNING is AWESOME! Mediation is my Future

    Court is awesome as long as you win I went to court the other day. The court proceedings were concerning a customer who received the site they asked us to build and then choose to not pay for it. The client let us know that they intended to seek damages from us. The fact is…

  • The Stupid Things We Say and The Stupider Ways We Hear Them

    It’s my blog and I’ll say what I want to! I’ve never grown up. This blog is proof of that. Have you ever had someone say something to you and even though you heard the exact words they said, when you took action (no matter how small the action) they go off on you and…
