The Sun Is Evil! (Well, Kind Of)

June 27, 2010

First of all, I know that we need sun exposure to live, and without the sun, none of us would be here right now. Let’s just get that part out of the way, because I have no beef with the sun on those accounts. To understand where I’m coming from, you need to know two [...]

A Potato . . . Tree?

June 18, 2010

A few months ago we had an empty planter box, bad weather, and a potato that was too sprouted and yucky to do anything good with. So I figured, what the heck, why not combine it all and see what I get! I read up a little bit on growing potatoes (and learned that you’re [...]

Shout Out To Great Servers!

May 20, 2010

The Famous Dave’s near our house has a great Wednesday Wing night (25 cents each!!) in their bar area, so we go every week. The first few times we went it was just because it was a great deal, and therefore a fun and economical new date night. The service was actually kind of crummy [...]

Bathroom Commandmants

May 17, 2010

When you put the spare roll of toilet paper on the thing (what the heck is that thing called that holds the toilet paper? I sat here for a good few minutes and the best I came up with was, “arm”. That can’t be it . . . ) you should get a new roll [...]
