First hints of spring hitting in our area

Gary — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 00:43:14 +0000

Wow, what a miserable winter we've had here in good old southwest Missouri. The good news is, we dodged the bullet on any serious ice storms this year; the bad news is we hit our average annual snowfall, which we haven't done in several winters. But the snow is gone (though we've had a couple of [...]

Grrrrr! Finding a good home printer boils down to ink choices, I guess

Gary — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:02:46 +0000

Unless you've got some business need for a thermal printer like the epson tm-t88iv or some other cash-register-like options, you probably struggle with finding a good home printer, just like I do. And after YEARS of relying on good old HP printers, I'm about ready to throw my current HP out the window and look [...]

Tiny bit of Internet traffic generates hefty amounts of sp*m

Gary — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 02:52:00 +0000

Funny how just a tiny increase in Internet traffic to a website can generate hefty amounts of sp*m. For those of you who don't know what "sp*m" is, it is my abbreviation for that unsolicited and usually worthless garbage that comes as a comment on a blog post. The word itself came from that well-known ham-like [...]

Google can lead to ’sort of’ a backwards time machine

Gary — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 18:33:36 +0000

Yes, I journeyed into the past yesterday. My wife came along. We used Google Maps -- Street Level view. For three years in the early 1970s, we lived on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in Mission, South Dakota. We were back there to visit for the last time in about 1984, I think it was. Yesterday, I thought [...]

Do you take winter vacations? Where’s your favorite spot?

Gary — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 18:18:43 +0000

Do you take winter vacations? If so, where's your favorite spot for a winter getaway? I was moaning recently about the "blah" sort of weather we've had here in southwest Missouri. I suspect many of you reading these words have been going through the same sort of winter weather? So, do you resolve those "blahs" by taking [...]

Tomorrow will be a brighter day, I think

Gary — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 19:54:47 +0000

Yesterday and today, the weather -- or perhaps "non-weather" -- has dominated life in our little corner of the world. We've been dealing with cold days alternating with snowy days pretty much as a steady pattern this winter, or for the last three or four weeks. But yesterday and today have been just sort of "in [...]

Fun seeing someone from the past, noticing age changes

Gary — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 02:20:24 +0000

I was sitting here watching the local news earlier this evening and a commercial for a local computer sales company came on. It's a company that was started by local ownership more than 20 years ago. The person doing the commercial, identified now as the owner, was the son of the founding owner. And I bought [...]

As I get older, my blog posts turn more toward health topics

Gary — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 20:52:22 +0000

I've begun to notice a certain pattern: Each year that goes by causes me to turn more toward health issues and I even end up blogging more about health issues. I wonder why that is? Well, okay, that was a bit sarcastic. I can tell you why I turn more toward health topics -- it's because [...]

Smartphones do amazing things — but treating acne with one?

Gary — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 20:42:26 +0000

I was looking around the Internet yesterday for information about acne, various sorts of acne treatments on the market, acne scar cream treatments, etc. I have a very close family member who has battled acne for a lifetime, so such search ideas for the latest treatments are often on my mind whenever I'm surfing the [...]

Do you use vitamins, other nutrition supplements regularly?

Gary — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 00:20:23 +0000

I'm one of those people who has struggled all my life with weight problems -- too weighty by far, in other words. I don't want to be too politically incorrect -- but I'm a fat guy. No other way to honestly say that. I have, however, always tried to eat properly and get good amounts of [...]
