If you have a car, RV or motorcycle sitting in your driveway unused you might want to consider donating it. Car Angel. They take donations for charity, you can specify which of your favorite charities can benefit from your gift.

Car Angel creates children DVD’s, anti-drug movies and prison literature. They have given away over 2 million DVD movies. Benefits to you is you get rid of that unwanted vehicle and you get an IRS tax deduction which is always a good thing.

They do all the work, scheduling, towing away your vehicle, title transfer all you have to do is contact them and get the process going to donate your vehicle and help a worthy cause.

Tis time to shop ho ho ho

Filed Under grand kids, toys | 3 Comments

Well tis the season, time to start getting presents for the kids and grand kids, we asked for lists of what they wanted for gifts. Lists were a bit long but this year we decided we would try and get each person something they wanted at least.

We already ordered the Playstation 3 for the son, one of the daughter’s is getting a computer. Some of the kids requested clothes, but we’ll get them some cool stuff each. The youngest will get a slew of baby clothes and a cool new playpen.

It isn’t every year we get such high end gifts for everyone but we decided this year that as we were doing so well that we would spread the good cheer.

I got my new camera from Carolyn and she has yet to let me know what she wants, but I usually surprise her with a few gifts.

So if you have any gift requests get them in now while we are in the shopping mood LOL

Picture arise

Filed Under wife | 11 Comments

Me: “Hey babe.”

Carolyn: “Yes?”

Me: “Plasma tv lifts.”

Carolyn: “What?”

Me: “Imagine this, we are on the couch, you have a bucket of popcorn and I have something smothered in hot sauce. The lights are out, I click ‘play’ on the DVD remote. Suddenly the trumpets sounds, dum de dum, da dad da dum de dum, then the lion roars. A voice over starts, ‘In a world full of darkness, a man in black…’ then the screen rises out of the top of the cabinet. An explosion and the movie starts right in the action. Sounds cool huh? Plasma tv that lifts up out of the entertainment center.”

Carolyn: “Sounds wonderful, but no!”

Me: “What?”

Carolyn: “You are not getting one.”

Me: “What? I’m just letting you know about something cool I saw.”

Carolyn: “I know but when you tell me about something cool you usually want it.”

Me: “Just telling you about a cool plasma tv lift system that raises the tv, they even do cabinets for the foot of the bed.”

Carolyn: “Again, great but you ain’t getting one. We don’t even have a plasma tv so you’d have to get one of those too.”

Me: “I just thought they were awesome is all. Just dreaming, I can dream can’t I?”

Carolyn: “Of course you can, dreams are free. You always have to want the latest electronic gadget or novelty, not this time, and turn the bloody lights back on!”

Dang, foiled again, I still think plasma tv lifts are cool.

Dumb criminal

Filed Under dumbass | 2 Comments

Local news item just on, a bank robber was just arrested very soon after pulling off a bank robbery. The hooded sweatshirt he was wearing during the robbery was the same one he was wearing when he was photographed for his mugshot during an earlier incident.

He also left behind the note he showed the bank teller telling her to hand over the money. Of course, the forensic guys soon pulled his fingerprint off the note and sent the Police a knocking at his door.

Dumbass.

Home alone and cooking!

Filed Under wife | 2 Comments

Awoke at 5 am this morning for work but felt crappy, crashed back to sleep until 7:30 then decided after leaving for the bus that I was going to take a sick day.

Carolyn was bummed because she had to work and I was at home, but she gave me a task, to cook dinner for tonight.

Got the corned beef out of the fridge covered it in some goodies, threw on some onions, potatoes and carrots and have it cooking slowly in the oven, house smells good. I had to resist adding Frank’s Hot Sauce to it as Carolyn doesn’t care for that stuff much.

I have to say I enjoyed preparing the food and cooking, but don’t tell the wife!

The stare of doom

Filed Under on the bus | 12 Comments

I’m on the bus, I am in an aisle seat, I prefer the window seat. We get to the transit center and a guy opposite in the window seat gets up and gets off. I slide out of my seat and into the window seat opposite. I noticed movement behind me as I did this, someone else had the same idea as me but I beat him to the seat.

I heard him mutter something under his breath as he went back to his own aisle seat, sounded like “Bastard.”

I thought What?

I turned and stared at him, he was staring at me and we locked stares. I held the stare and looked into one of his eyes with both of mine, works great on kids and animals. He suddenly found something outside the bus window to stare at and started to fidget in his seat.

Yeah that’s right. Cower under the withering stare of doom.

Oh, I am easily amused.
