Blue Lime Seen Abroad
Thanks to @idodoodle, we have now seen a Blue Lime (Internet Cafe) in the Philippines. Yay for the “franchise”! Now, if we could only get them to pay their fees…. hmmmm? 😉 “Czech” it out!

Kock Knock, Motherfucker! by @TheBloggess
A while back, @TheBloggess had me ROFLMAO with her giant metal chicken story and follow up. I even put the necklace on my Wish List. So, when I went to help a friend with a little photography project, I almost ran off the road upon sighting this entire family of metal chickens in an array […]

They’re Here!
While researching some blog material back in the spring, I found that Tacori was giving away an engagement ring from their new line. So, I signed up to win the beauty. I didn’t win the gorgeous ring, but I did win one of the other 99 prizes: a pair of “Jelly bean” diamond earrings in […]

Appreciation for Daddy
In prepping my facebook photo for Fathers’ Day weekend, I found this comment about him. LDS. He understood that you could sometimes help a student more by giving them a break [than] by always going 100 percent by the rules. It wasn’t just black or white…sometimes it was OK for there to be a little […]

Movies Are For Grownups (or those who can act grown up)
This week’s incident at the Alamo Drafthouse tugs at my heartstrings. 😉 NSFW: She Texted, So We Kicked Her Out For those who don’t want to endure the NSFW video and blog, here is the gist: Alamo warns (several times) that calls/texting during their movies is forbidden. Girl texts. Girl ignores two personal warnings to […]

When Parents Facebook
There is a great website: WhenParentsText.com. This is my little spin/play on that. Yes, this was in my facebook news feed this week. Tony B. is a friend of my mom’s from high school. While I’ve never met him IRL (i.e. In Real Life for you parents), I’ve grown up hearing countless stories about him […]

One Fine Day
For those liked the story about me being stranded with no gas and no phone…you need to watch the movie One Fine Day. At 1:04 into the movie when Melanie Parker (Michelle Pfeiffer) is at the police station….that’s about how I looked and felt that day. The movie pretty much sums up the kind of […]

Credit Scores by State
(Click the image for an interactive version of the infographic.) It looks a little like the 2008 elections. Coincidence? Nah, maybe it’s just that we “keep up with the Jonses” in the South and overextend ourselves with the bigger houses and such.

(Local) Celebrity Sighting and the Power of a Voice
First, I noticed her dog. She anchored his leash to a signpost in the shade. After she got a snack inside, she sat at the next table bringing him to her side. He’s a very sweet pit bull mix who politely greets everyone and only wants to make friends. Then, when she greeted her friend, […]

Re-learning to say “no”. Facebook is the devil. I said “no”.
Over the last ~8 years, I have noticed that people are more and more afraid to say “no” in any form. “No” can be anything from a simple “No, thank you,” to “it wasn’t really rape because I was too tired to insist ‘no’.” Yes, the spectrum is broad. My/Our Backstory Disclosure: In all fairness, […]
