Sold!

Yesterday was the annual* Lincoln Lutheran Technology Flea Market. For 5 hectic hours we sell off all of the various computer junk that has accumulated over the course of the last 12 months or so in all of the various nooks and crannies of Lincoln Lutheran where I’ve found that I can reasonably stack things [...]

Fill me up, Buttercup.

Lloyd had to go to a conference this week and while packing his travel stuff, he saw that his little tube of toothpaste was empty. Lloyd: “I’ll need to get another one, unless you want to refill this one.” Then he chuckled, like it was funny. Then he got quiet, and looked at me fearfully. [...]

Snookered again!

They did it again. Shame on you, Wal*Mart. Shame, shame, shame. (finger waggle) Well, looking back on the whole thing – shame on me. I know that they are not completely forthright with their ‘deals’. Lloyd said he was almost out of soap, so I stopped in to buy some. We usually buy the 8-bar [...]

I can see the attraction…

Last week I finally got a chance to devalue something in our house my own self. You might recall that we had to get a new TV, because Brad was coming to visit. That led directly (think minutes) to having to get a new DVD player, and within two days to having to get digital [...]
