Don’t you hate it…

...when you have a paper cut on your finger and don't remember how you got it? ...when you see a bruise on your leg and you absolutely don't remember how it got there until you felt it? ...when you are driving behind a person going 40 mph on a 55 mph and you can't pass them? ...when you drive down a road, minding your own business when all of a sudden someone comes across the double yellow lines and you have to jerk the vehicle away so you won't crash into them? ...when you have so … [Read more...]

Out of curiosity…

where do you stand?  Election Day is just a few weeks away and I wanted to know who you will be voting for.  Your votes are obviously anonymous because the polls are private and only you will know who you picked to be our next President of the United States. So please take a second and cast your vote.  Thank you! By the way, I will be posting the same poll on my sidebar until November 3rd. Online Surveys & Market Research … [Read more...]

I found the perfect trailer voice!

As you may already know, Don LaFontaine died in September.  He was "The Voice of God" A.K.A. the voice of almost every movie trailer.  He recorded over 5,000 movie trailers and hundreds of thousands of television advertisements, video game trailers and network promotions.  I was disappointed that he died because he was great at what he did.  I'm sure he will be missed. BUT, I found the perfect person for the voiceover for the movie trailers.  Check out this video from Youtube and tell me what … [Read more...]

A Guinness World Records spokesman said it appears the non-dynamic duo have broken the record but said it will take two weeks to officially verify. The attempt began Oct. 2 when eight challengers started watching … [Read more...]

WW – Apple & Pumpkin Pickin’

These are a few of the pictures that I took when we went Apple and Pumpkin picking on Sunday. We were at the DuBois Farms and we had such a great time. We had great weather too. They had so many different types of apples. Granny Smith, Empires, Macintosh, Golden Delicious and much more. The Golden Delicious was indeed all of our favorites. It was sweet, crisp and very juicy. Now all I have to do is look for a good apple Pie recipe. So, has anyone else been Apple pickin'? I would … [Read more...]
