Story the Baby Blogger
Story has decided to become a baby-blogger herself. She is tired of the world through my eyes. She decided to become a blogger because she is tired of everything being seen through my eyes. Notice how Annalie is watching from a safe distance. And just for the record, my Sweetheart took this photo…I would never [...]
Dats Deli Meats Recall Widens…and Add in Some Freybe Meat Products
Bad news for the meat eating crowd; more deli meats are being recalled due to Listeria contamination. Freybe brand Ham Suelze that was purchased prior to July 28 should not be eaten, says the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. In what I find to be a troubling aspect of this recall, Freybe products, like the Dats [...]
Words that Strike Fear II
A couple new sets of words to strike fear into a man’s heart, “Some assembly required.” Or the ones that hit you on Christmas Day, “Batteries not included.” Anybody else want to add to this list?
A Little Time on the Foodie Beat
A couple of Foodie items today. Today I attended a late afternoon business meeting downtown Vancouver. Of course all of us who attended were missing our dinners or were expecting to be home late for dinner so the sandwiches provided for us were very appreciated. Seeing as I am a vegetarian (a vegetarian who eats fish) I [...]
Words that Strike Fear into a Man’s Heart
Words are such a funny thing. Take for example, the words, “We need to talk.” Are there any other words that strike fear into a man’s heart the way that these words do? As soon as a man hears, “We need to talk” he goes into a sort of frenzied internal accounting. He will wonder [...]
Grief and Grieving for a Pet
Grief and the loss of a loved one is a funny process. Yesterday while vacuuming the family-room I felt an overwhelming sense of sadness. Why is that you might ask? Because every time I vacuum in our house I feel like I am erasing more of my Little Jimmy. In the old days, our home was full [...]
The Great Escape; A Game Changer in our Home
Today the twins introduced what is essentially a game-changer. Months ago they figured out how to manoveur through our crudely fashioned, homemade barricade. We decided to kick things up a notch and introduce some custom built containment devices. Enter the doorway-gate. Not only is this gate attractive and practical, it is fashioned from a sustainably grown and [...]
Don’t Forget to Turn Off the Baby Monitor
Well now that was embarrassing. We currently have two house guests. Two very lovely lady friends of my Sweetheart. And late this afternoon I went upstairs for a little privacy time. I just wanted to get away from the hubbub of all the visiting and being nice and all that goes along with that. So [...]
Store Brand Vs Name Brand Products
Last night I stopped at our local “Chopper” grocery store (somehow, I have no idea why, that is what we started to call the local No-Frills store when it opened a few months ago). While I was at the Chopper I remembered that we needed more baby powder at home. Seeing as I was in the Chopper and they [...]
Melissa Etheridge Custody Battle
Under the file name “Things that make you go hmmm…” is this “news” item that recently came out of court papers in the Melissa Etheridge Vs Tammy Lynn Michaels separation/child custody fight. Melissa Etheridge’s ex is asking for $1500 a month for groceries, $50 for laundry, $800 for eating out…I’m not touching this one, and $4300 [...]
