Brother’s Birthday Gift

Reese — Sat, 12 May 2012 21:39:47 +0000

My brother’s birthday is coming up and I have been looking at mens leather briefcases!! If I’m not mistaken, my parents got him the one he’s carrying now when he graduated college back in the stone age. Well, it’s not that old but it looks like it. He’s one of those ‘what do you get because he’s got everything’ kinda guys and I think I finally found the perfect gift!

Paper Roses

While typing a post about paper dolls I got the song made famous back in the 70′s by Marie Osmond “Paper Roses” I haven’t heard this song in so long, so I turned to YouTube.com and had no trouble finding this beautiful song and wanted to share it here while I was at it.

I wonder how long this song will stick in my head. Some times a song will last a week or so. That’s way too long for anything to be bouncing around inside my head! LOL

I told you so lil sis, now get ‘er done all ready would you please and quit your whining.

Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda

I really should have taken my brother’s advice and his check back in the 90′s that would have provided me with the training and the education that it would take for me to know so much about computers. I could have become an IT and be making good money at this point. Every company needs some type of managed hosting solutions and I could have been there for the ride.

I know such a small amount about computers that it scares me sometimes. When it comes to dedicated server hosting and colocation services, I have to scratch my head and shrug my shoulders most of the time. I have gotten so dependent on our ITs at work that I wish I could call them about some of my home computer issues.

It is a darn good thing that I have a cousin that is a whiz at computers and it pretty good hearted about sharing his talents and skills with friends and family members that find themselves unable to deal with a good amount of computer issues. Every family needs a computer geek to rely on, right?

Industrial Supplies From Reid Supply

Reese — Mon, 07 May 2012 01:49:10 +0000

I’ve found a good website that has great deals on shims and other interesting and useful tools and hardware that I thought I’d pass along here. At reidsupply.com they have tons of good industrial supplies at decent prices and you can request a free catalog right on their homepage if you have the need or desire to. When I find a good thing I like to pass it along if I’m able and I’m really digging how this blog is making that possible.

Flea Market Deals

Reese — Thu, 03 May 2012 08:46:44 +0000

The flea markets are doing a booming business these past couple years. There are more people selling things in order to bring in extra money that is needed so badly by most of us, along with more people attending these bargain centers in an effort to get good deals with their hard earned money.

This economy is not lighting up as far as I (or anyone else) can tell. Although I’m hearing that more people are planning on going away for the Memorial Day weekend this year. It must be all the people that work for the banks and mortgage companies that got all of the “bail out monies” from our president.

Living The Life on Facebook

Reese — Tue, 01 May 2012 02:34:11 +0000

One of my Facebook friends that went to the same high school as I did, but was a year ahead of me, works as a cigar salesperson and he always has the most interesting pictures and posts to read and enjoy almost everyday from his work. Today he was pictured smoking a nice macanudo cigar and posing with a couple of the Hooter Waitresses. with drinks in hand at some big exciting event in Pennsylvania. He has got to be one of the happiest of my old high school friends and is living the life, which I’m so glad to see, I just wish more of my old friends were living such exciting lives. Way too many of them are in bad health, bad relationships and stuck in a job that they barely tolerate just to keep a paycheck coming in these days.

Sunday Dinner – Pot Roast

Reese — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 08:12:30 +0000

Sunday’s are the best day of the week, a relaxing morning to sleep in on, a slow puttering about the house and the preparation of Sunday dinner is an on going thing throughout the day, usually using the slow cooker to produce the most wonderful aroma’s just enough to make your stomach wanting to eat much earlier than the designated time frame for the day.

Today a nice pot roast is simmering away with carrots, potatoes and beef broth, with plenty of salts and peppers to make it so nicely seasoned for maximum taste quality. It should be ready in time for the games.

Radial Engineering Guitars

Reese — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 05:32:56 +0000

It looks like I’m going ahead with the search for decent Radial Engineering Guitars to buy here real soon. My favorite niece’s high school graduation is fast approaching and I told her a few years back that when she did graduate that I would buy her the guitar of her choice and by god she managed to do real good in school and so now I’m happy to reward her on her special day.

I haven’t been to a high school graduation ceremony is such a long time. There has been a lag between that particular age group in the family. But soon we will be attending many more in the up and coming years and we always have great graduation parties and festivities for the graduates. I look forward to attending many, many more.

Tick Bites

Reese — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 20:17:34 +0000

I had the misfortune of getting several ticks on my body over the last year. Man, are they a real pain to deal with. The last one was several months ago and it is still swollen up and itching like crazy. Nothing makes it feel better than my finger nails raking over it most of the day and all throughout the night.

One of the bites that I got right after the Christmas holidays actually got to looking like a bull’s eye around it and I had to go to the E.R. for antibiotics in case the little critter was carrying Lyme Disease. I hate ticks.
