    No Water :(

    Just a frustration post!!! :mad: This morning I did not have any water pressure and the best I could get was a pencil stream from the faucet. Ironic since the rest of the country is flooding out. Called a Water Well company and it seems as if the pump has troubles or it is trouble at the...

    Heart Attack

    Well, it has been a rough time lately. I guess I was pushing too hard and blaming the chest pains on all the non-stop work. Drove to the VA Hospital (IN VT yes I drove myself)to get checked over and ended up getting checked in. Turns out I had a handful of heart attacks and was scheduled for...

    Small Rant

    Capitol One credit card statement comes every month at the same time and I pay it as soon as it arrives. Suddenly this month it is late? I called Cap one thinking it was lost in the mail and they said that the billing cycle was changed by 5 days on all their cards. That equates to 5...

    Tiger Woods In Ireland

    Taking a wee break from the golf course nearby, Tiger Woods drove his new Ferrari into an Irish gas station, where an attendant greeted him in the typical Irish manner, unaware who this "Yank" golf celebrity was. "Top of the morning' to ya!" the Irishman smiled, doffing his cap. As Tiger got...
