For Good or Evil?

So, I have this brand new paper iPad that I just put together. I also have a new teacher at school who is a bigger Apple Fanboy than I am. But I don’t know just how to best put it to use. Any ideas?

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 [...]

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 [...]

Birthday TV

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. The hotel in Omaha was a fine establishment, but I think we’ll stay with the 2.5-star hotels in the future. We got the 3-star for $45 (that’s the highest rating on Price-Line), but had to pay extra for parking and there was no free wi-fi. Next time I [...]

Too Trusting

You’d think I would learn. The Wal*marts around here is notoriously lowdown, sneaky and underhanded. They lure me in with a false sense of everyday low prices and then pull this kind of crap…
Everywhere else on the planet, Queen Anne Cordials come in boxes of 12 (that could hold 24 if their packaging wasn’t so [...]
