Dominoes Rules

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 00:49:03 +0000

I’ve become picky when it comes to my pizza these days. If it isn’t Dominoes, thin crust with extra pepperoni then I’m just not happy. I can’t stand a soggy thick crust that is all mushie in my mouth, just the texture of it makes my stomach queasy. Pizza Hut and Papa Johns just don’t cut it in my book.

Cheer It Up Some, Please……

It must suck to have to wear the same old lab coat day in and day out. The only good thing I can imagine is that you never have to worry about what to wear that day, only needing to make sure that your limited supply of lab coats are clean and wrinkle free and what shoes to wear.

So many of today’s medical professionals can choose from a variety of scrub uniforms that we are seeing more and more of out and about in our daily lives. The ones that are geared for the pediatric sector are really cute. I’m sure it makes a difference for the kids that they deal with each day and hopefully cheer up the place as well. Lord knows a busy pediatrics office can use all the cheering up that they can get. I can’t imagine working in that environment with all the crying and screaming kids day after day after day……..

Flea Market

Although the weatherman was calling for rain all day yesterday, we never saw any, not one drop. So I decided to take a trip to the flea market and walk around and see what good deals I could find on any treasures. Not many vendors had showed up due to the weather forecast so it was kind of empty. I didn’t find anything, but the fresh air and the exercise did me good.

Learning A Bit More About Online Slots

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:05:42 +0000

I don’t live any where close to any place that offers any type of gambling. I would have to drive a pretty good distance to get to any place like that, which is a bummer. Years back my parents took us all to Las Vegas, what a trip that was. I was too young to really appreciate all that Vegas has to offer adults, although we did enjoy seeing several shows that will always stay in my mind for as long as I live I can guarantee you that.

Not that I’m that much into risking my hard earned money, heck I don’t even buy Lottery tickets, unless I buy them and use them as a gift to some one who I have no idea what else to buy them. In my opinion they are more fun than a gift card for some place that a person might not even use, that would really bite. Talk about a waste!

I have a few friends, or I should say co workers that go online a play some casino games slot machines at times. In the break room some times that is the major topic of conversation and I sit there like a bump on a log with nothing to contribute to the conversation. So I decided to look around and learn just a bit in order to be able to know what the heck they are talking about and to be able to join in the conversation at some point.

I found a cool site that is a rating guide to the best online gaming sites at ghidpc.com. Took a few minutes and looked around, it’s a pretty user friendly site and very flashy I can tell you that, but I guess it goes with the atmosphere of the games. If you are into online gaming I’d tell you to check them out and see if there is anything that floats your boat there.

Old Lady Caught on Tape

My sister is good at finding cute and/or funny videos on the computer. YouTube.com is the best place to find them. She sent me the link to this hilarious video of an old lady banging a guys car with her handbag which makes the car’s airbag deploy. Don’t know if this is a real event or staged, but either way it’s funny.

The Rising Need for A Good Burglar Alarm

admin — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 20:03:35 +0000

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Times couldn’t be much more desperate than what our economy issues have reduced us to. Drug and alcohol abuse is on the rise and burglaries are happening like crazy, big time. We are seeing more and more of the ADT Home Security Systems yard signs are popping up all over all of the neighborhoods. ADT has been in the security business for over 130 years so they must be doing something right, right?

They (ADT) have a good website at www.homesecurityteam.com which is full of useful tips, offers, packages, contact information, installation issues and all the other information that a good quality web site that is user friendly has to offer. Burglar Alarms are getting to be a necessity and are becoming more affordable so this is a great site to check out.

The days of having a weapon and/or a big dog or two have gone past us. A good security system with video cameras are the way to go these days. I’ve never experienced a home break-in, but I do know some folks that have experienced it and there stories are hard to listen to. I just can’t imagine going through such a thing. I can see where they would always feel violated and tarnished in so many ways. I definitely would be sleeping with a big gun under pillow if that ever happened. I do have a few weapons but they are tucked away safe and secure, all legal like and I go to the shooting range every so often and am a pretty decent shot. I wouldn’t want to have to ever use one on somebody though.

The War Is Over

admin — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:37:34 +0000

At least that was what they were saying all over the late news last night. The last of the American troops were putting along in the last of the convoys leaving Iraq. It wasn’t all that exciting coverage but exciting news. Now let’s get on with it and let’s roll.

Recycle Those Paper Version Phone Books

admin — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 00:31:55 +0000

I’m tossing out (actually I’m recycling) my local phone books. There are so darn many of them and they just take up a lot of room and don’t get used, as long as I have access to the Internet that is. When I need to find or get information about some one or some place I get it quickly while I’m online. I can’t even remember the last time I looked anything up in any of the paper version phone books. So out the door they go and a good riddance.

Like earlier today I spent some time online looking for a decent San Francisco auto repair center. I went to repairpal.com and found several that seemed to match my needs. My honda accord which is my only means of transportation is in need of a new timing belt and I don’t want to use any of my charge cards that I have in my wallet for several well known auto service centers. I’m determined not to use any of my credit cards, it’s a challenge but it’s working for me.

Domino’s Pizza

admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 18:34:37 +0000

I’m glad that the few top pizza companies in our area are currently having a pizza war. Calling the pizza man to deliver a pizza used to be a fast and affordable meal, but those days have long gone by the way side. Besides the cost of the pizza, there is a delivery charge, along with tax and of course you must tip the driver as well and I’d consider myself a good tipper. That all adds up, but if that what it takes to get a pizza delivered you do what you gotta do.

I have been a fan of Domino’s thin crust pizza most of my life. The more cheese and pepperoni that is piled on it the better. Since the prices are being cut, due to the competition I can afford to order it more often!

The Muscle Car

admin — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 18:10:06 +0000

My older brothers and most of their friends were (and still are) muscle car freaks. There was always at least one car in the back drive way that was being worked on and/or restored and I learned a lot about cars by being surrounded by them growing up. If the car wasn’t from the 60′s or 70′s or earlier they just didn’t hold our interest even though there has been a few cool cars manufactured since then, not many but a few.

We have an annual fair and parade in our town each May and there is always a good amount of muscle cars, antique vehicles, fire engines, hot rods, motorcycles and the like cruising the town in anticipation of participating in the parade. This is a huge parade and people come from all over to watch and to participate in it each year. I enjoy watching the high school bands, the dancers, beauty pageant queens, the civic groups, celebrities and the local politicians that are in the parade, along with various other entries that entertain the large crowds. But my favorite is when the muscle cars start coming down the street and the Harley Davidsons of course. They just get me going, big time!

It’s cool to see that some of the older model cars are starting to go back to some of the classic looks. The new Mustang the new Corvette and the new Camaro are starting to make more appearances around town now and then. Heads are turning to see how they look from behind and to how they sound. A guy that used to hang around my brothers just bought a new 2010 camaro and is looking for chevy camaro accessories to start souping her up for his fall and winter project. By next May he may be ready to cruise along the parade route along with the newer good looking cars.
