Mynym is back. Finally. (And I thought I was gone for too long.) In a related note: Mynym is brilliant. This is not hearsay, nor am I being paid to endorse his intelligence-ness. I really believe what...
These kids killed a guy! But if that isn't horrific enough, "Then, Moore says, they took off to grab a bite at McDonald's." Per a previous post, their actions made me wonder: is there some connection between high-fat foods and murder?...
Yikes!!! "De Jesus says he learned he was Jesus reincarnate when he was visited in a dream by angels." This just in...."sources have confirmed that 'The Grub Street Plumber' is, in fact, the tooth fairy." More on this as it develops....
Today at work, I had a moment to catch up on checking e-mail. Since I have at least four addresses going into my inbox, things can get backed up when other responsibilities take priority. In the midst of all the...
It is clear that "Smoking cigarettes is the number one cause of PREVENTABLE death in America." (Quoted from here, who cited this site.) And although one might be disposed to argue that death is in no way preventable, I...
With all the celebrities entering drug rehab, alcohol rehab, personality, or even personality rehab, I thought this spoof was really funny. Bill Cosby’s award winning Dandie Dinmont terrier, Hobergays Fineus Fogg has been on a self-destructive bender after losing the...
Home Turf Media, the blog network that manages my Chattanooga blog, has placed a contest on Sitepoint for a logo. I am aware of many, many designers in the Chattanooga area who could really eat up some of the...
Fuller was up and hungry at 6:30 this morning. And then suddenly it was 3 pm. We did a bit today- took the car in to get an estimate on the damage, mailed a package, shopped at Target, and took...
My sister calls, the conversation goes like this: Her: "So, you're sick. Is it your stomach?" Me: "Yes" Her: "Did you recently buy some groceries from Wal-mart?" Me: "Yep" Her: "Peanut Butter?" Me: "Yes" Her: "Peter Pan Peanut Butter?" Me: "uhhh, yes" Her: "Serial number starting with 2111?" Me: "[expletives]" More...
Ah, the smell of warm, wet dirt. We get to start breathing in spring through our nostriles again; the stench of death bringing forth life. I ran without layers upon layers today. It was perfectly exhilarating. ...
Check out the video my dad posted of Ethan on one of his runs down "the big hill". He wipes out at the bottom, but looks pretty good until then. I talked to him this morning, and he...
I've managed to contract the nasty stomach virus that's been going around, though, at least in my case, it's also made war on my intestines. Gosey just uploaded some pictures from my wedding and from his bachelor party. I hope he...
An expectant mother is starting to look into the cloth vs. disposable debate and it's making my head swim. There are so many options, and with most things baby, so many strong opinions. The old fashioned square ones are so...
Scott and I had his niece for two days while Linda gave birth to her new little sister Naya Faith. We just loved having Ella hang out with us. Children are such blessings and Ella is no exception. I loved...

M.C. Hammer went broke not only because he insisted on carrying with him an entourage the size of a small city, but because he blew his money on hideous (and expensive) garb like this....
My condolences to the Swafford family. I never met Jean Swafford, my wife had of course as she is a life-long East Lake resident, but I do know that Mrs. Swafford worked very hard through organizations to improve East...
For doctors, that is. A doctor recently turned a patient away because the mother had a tatoo and this went against his faith. For the record, I do not agree with his decision on the basis of medical ethics or...
I have only a few moments before I have to go to work. Yes, work! Hooray, I have a job, and thanks to all of you for your prayers and concerns. I work as a cashier (again)...
