The appeal of reality shows...
Can someone explain it to me please? I really just don't understand how many of these shows are on the air. To be clear, I am not talking about "The amazing race" or other shows where there is a legit competition and the one who comes in last gets to go home. I am talking about Jersey Shore, honey booboo, and the like.

I just remembered something funny from the Army
I had been in for about 6 months or so and I found myself stationed at Ft Gordon. I was an E-2 Private and looking to make a good impression on everyone. I asked one of the Drill SGT's on post how he kept his BDU's (Camoflage uniform) looking crisp and he told me that he uses a lot of starch. So, I went out and bought…

Funniest scenes in movies
I will start (I have two of them) Stepbrothers - Will Ferrell and John Reilly are arguing the night their parents announce the seperation. Will storms off and starts banging on John's drums. John goes ballistic and charges into the drum room (this is the funny part). John grabs one of the cymbols and smashes Will in the…

Why I don't lend out my tools
Well, not really a tool this time but, my car jack and tire iron. Headed home from work last night, I passed a co-worker on I-95 on the side of the road. Trunk open and hazards on in the rain. I got off at the next exit, looped around and pulled up behind him. He bought a used 350Z and he had a flat. He also did not have a…

Anyone into Kayaking?
I am finally really getting into it. I have a pair of Ocean Kayaks that my wife and I take out as often as possible. Anyone else into it?

shaved
So my doctor told me that she wanted to test me for sleep apneia. Basically, I am simply exhausted every day. I am eating right and I am exercising 5-6 days a week. All of my blood work is coming back just fine but, I am simply tired. So, they gave me a machine called "itamar". I am not 100% sure what it does but, part of…

I almost went back to an old love of mine today
As I drove to Barnes and Noble at lunchtime, I saw her. Glistening in red and beconing me with that sweet smell that I missed so much. I started to sweat as the thoughts raced thru my mind. What if my wife found out? How could I look in the mirror at myself if I did this? I have worked so hard for everything just to throw…

25 random facts about you
I will start: 1: While I normally hate working on my own cars to fix broken stuff, in the end, I am very happy that I have the ability and knowledge to twist a wrench. It seems to be a vanishing craft. 2: If I were half as good at MANAGING my money as I am at MAKING money, I would be much more comfortable 3: Although I…

Sad day.. Putting my dog to sleep
I picked up my mixed breed (German Shepard/Chow) puppy from the Palm Beach animal rescue on April 4th, 1998. I named this little bundle of red fur "Kevlar" and presented him to my fiancé (now my wife), as an engagement gift. As the years went by, he became a wonderful pet, protector, and companion. We always felt safe…

Things that annoy me.
People who will take MOST of the coffee (not all mind you) and just leave a thin glaze, about enough for one shot glass and just walk away. They won't turn off the heater or make a fresh pot. Same goes for the sugar/creamer. They take the last of it and simply leave the empty container on the counter. The garbage can is 3…

Excel experts.. lend me your brain!!!!
I have a six page spreadsheet. Five of the pages are listed Breakfast, Mid morning, lunch, Mid Afternoon, and dinner. The sixth page is what I was hoping to run my formulas in. On page six, I have five colums listed in order of the five "meal" spreadsheets and I was able to create dropdowns that reflect meals that I have…

Three months ago, the VA put me on the MOVE program. My goal was to drop from 250 to 220. I made it to 236. Kinda sucks...

The VA put me on the "fat boy" program
So, I went in for my yearly checkup (three years too late) and the doctor was concerned. I had put on over 30 LBS since the last visit (putting me at 250 LBS). At 5'11, she was concerned about other problems relating to being "heavy". Long story short, I am now on a program called "telemove" which is a VA run program. You…
