I was reading on the internet today about how Spice Girl Victoria Beckham has appeared in several photos recently that have ignited rumors that she may have undergone the plastic surgery treatment known as liposuction. I know, a celebrity having liposuction – big surprise there. But I’ll tell you what does surprise me. Posh Spice…
Keep It Green: Light Your Yard with Solar Power
Yes, I am aware that during the daylight hours, everyone’s yard is lit by solar power. Unless you live in one of those parts of the planet where it’s night for months at a time. But what I’m talking about is enviro-friendly landscape lighting for your yard or property at night. I’ve written previously of…
A Terminal Case of the Mondays
So yesterday, hanging out with friends and gaming lasted until about 11:30pm. Which is crazy, because we started around 4:30pm. That’s more time than I’ve ever wanted to spend in a library. That’s almost like a work day. But it sure was fun. After the games, I stopped by and hung out with my friends…
Being a Man: Ride to Destruction
Before you get up in my face with the name-calling and chauvinist comments, I’m in no way saying that women don’t enjoy danger and nearly killing themselves doing stupidly awesome things. I do know that there is some primal part of me that gets excited thinking about jumping off of stuff and blowing things up.…
Entrepreneurs: Custom Plastic Shopping Bags
Is your new business some sort of retail store? Do you interact with customers directly and in person? Or maybe you do online or mail-order sales and you need plastic bags for wrapping up goods to mail to customers? Any dime-store marketing, small business, or entrepreneurship book will tell you that brand awareness is the…
Tune Up Your HDTV
While not all of us are fortunate enough to own a big screen High Definition Television, or HDTV, we did just have a holiday season and many families purchased new HDTV sets for their homes. Also, many businesses are purchasing plasma and LCD screens for lobby displays or statistics monitoring, such as stock tickers or…
As the Meat Turns
Yesterday, my friend made the comment that the Food Network in HD (high definition) is like pornography for fat guys. While that’s a pretty graphic comparison, it’s actually pretty accurate. The Food Network is one of the reasons I got into cooking things from scratch (when I have time, and clean dishes). Ever since we…
Holiday Alert: Valentine’s Day
I know Valentine’s Day is not a minor holiday, and no one really gets off work for Valentine’s Day. But, being I’m a guy who is seeing someone now, I thought it’d be nice to remind my readers that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. You still have 8 days to make arrangements or…
Hey, How’s Your Colon?
You probably don’t have anyone in your life that will randomly just ask you how your colon is doing. So I’m doing it for you. How’s your colon? I really don’t want to know the answer – but especially younger people who are not willing to admit they’re becoming grown-ups may overlook this important part…
More on Loans and Finance
I’ve written previously about my experiences with credit cards and the like, but one facet of personal finance I have yet to experience is getting a mortgage loan. One thing that bothers me about mortgage loans is that the entire loan is centered around the house you’re buying. Basically you either pay them back, or…
