Craigslist Personals Ad

I’m not someone with a lot of self-esteem. I may fake it sometimes, but in reality, it’s fairly low. So I was surprised when on April 11th, after posting a personals ad on craigslist.org under the “misc romance” section, I received 30 responses. Twenty of those were within 24 hours. It was kind of a [...]

O’ Christmas Tree

While at Fred Meyer tonight I found the perfect Christmas tree for under $10…

Keepsake Ornaments

This year’s new ornaments for The Dave’s Christmas tree…

I haven’t tested the lights and sound yet. If it’s interesting enough I’ll post a video… though I’m feeling a little lazy at the moment.

YAY!!!!
I’m not going to write much. I’m just so fucking pleased and finally able to feel hope for this country. I was waiting for John McCain to concede, and he just did, according to NBC.

TiVo® Series2™ DT DVR

My new baby is due on Monday! Giggity, giggity!

I’ve had a Series1â„¢ TiVo for years and have loved it, but it’s obsolete. It requires a phone line to get its updates, meaning a phone line is currently strung across the floor. The new one can use your high-speed Internet. I bought the wireless adapter to [...]
