The great William Shakespeare said those very words a long time ago and today they ring oh so true. It all started out well enough. Last December, I don't remember where, I mentioned that I really wanted a Chia Pet. I had never had one and while they are easy enough to get they seemed rather extravagant and silly for me to buy for myself.

I hadn't won at bingo because I don't play bingo but I had won a small fortune on the slot machines and left a brief synopsis of the story on Babs' blog. I hadn't though about that day in a long time. Partly because
Image by blmurch via Flickr Valentine's Day is just around the corner which means if you are a typical guy you haven't even begun to think about what to get for that special lady. Have no fear, I am here to help you. You've probably seen a lot of TV commercials for the perfect gift, one that is sure to get you laid,
We have a new member of the family. This is Jack, or Boo, we aren't really sure what we are going to call him. We will not be calling him "Hip-Hop" or Kanye like the 7 year old thinks we should. Jack or Boo is a 9 week old Flemish Giant. At 9 weeks he is already bigger than the cat and will eventually look
So last month I signed up to participate in Margaret's (Nannygoatsinpanties) White Elephant Gift Exchange because it sounded like a great idea at the time. I know better now. I have not received my White Elephant Gift yet. I'm feeling a little sorry for myself about that but I really don't have reason to because I just sent out the gift I was supposed to
Talk about Karma smacking me in the ass. My last post I made the mistake of saying it had been unseasonably warm and thus I was not yet into the holiday spirit. Smack! It's here and I'm not ready. There is a big pile of leaves in my backyard that were supposed to be raked the day this storm hit. I should actually be thankful
I was originally going to steal Kathy's What's That post and just put this picture up and have you guess what it was. I was going to post a smaller picture obviously but when I was taking the picture my son ridiculed me for falling back on filler that wasn't my schtick. Apologies to Kathy who does it much better. My son suggested I write
Image by Jagrap via Flickr I was going to write a post today about what is wrong with the Republican party and what they need to do to fix it. However, I realized that only two of my regular readers would be interested in what I had to say on that subject and Jayne would skewer my every point, and probably rightfully so because she
A year ago I tried eHarmony. It didn't work and I canceled my membership but occasionally they send me profiles in the hopes that I will read something that strikes my fancy. I could remove my name from their list but you never know, they might send me a profile that interests me. So far they have only sent me blog fodder. In my profile
Last week Kathy, from the Junk Drawer, got all kinds of media attention for her post about the loud Sun Chips bag. She made a video, months ago, about the bag and posted it on her site and YouTube. After a little self promotion the story was picked up by The Wall Street Journal, CNN and The Today Show. All the links are in the
Redhead Ranting is the rantings of a frazzled, twice divorced mother of two who freelances and cares for two stupid dogs while writing her memoir against incredible and unbelievable odds (but will make a wonderful book one day).
