When What You Say Isn’t What You Mean

In my profession, people say the wrong things all the time. They mistake KB for MB, RAM for disk space, etc. I was thinking today, what if they did this in other areas of life? How embarrassing would it be to wish condolences instead of congratulations to the new chef on opening his own restaurant? […]

Funny Comment

Comment on news story on digg titled “Is this the stupidest man alive?” about man who ended up in hospital after lighting a firecracker out of his arse: No. He is not the stupidest man alive.

Home Remodel Nightmare

Boy am I glad we haven’t had these problems, yet: Two years ago — just before I developed my frugal side — my wife and I bought an old house. It was the place of our dreams: two stories, hardwood floors, lots of windows, gorgeous architectural details, several outbuildings, and three-fifths of an acre. The […]

House Project Almost Done

Last night we got home after work to find that all the walls had been textured and there was a huge mess all over. Thank heavens for all the plastic and tape saving the woodwork and carpets! Hopefully by tonight all the mess will be removed as well. I cannot beleive the difference. It is […]
