The verdict from home was that we “need” the wardrobes that I was sent to look at the other night at Home Depot. Honestly, I have no idea why I had to look at them anyway, if I had said they are ugly and stupid the response would have been, “What time can you pick…

Home Depot Customer Service Failure

While we do not agree with EVERY campaign that the well-intentioned people from Avaaz embark on, maintaining the moratorium on whale hunting is one campaign that we support and endorse wholeheartedly.

Water Bottle Bombs
So this morning I received an email describing how some freaky terrorist-like people are going around McGyvering together “water-bottle bombs.” The email says that under no circumstances should you pick up partially full water bottles that have mysteriously appeared in your frontyard overnight. Apparently these water-bottle bombs will explode once you touch them. And they make one…
