Anyway she keeps busy after school and on the weekends playing “girl games” online. They have come a long way with the selection of girl games that are available these days. There was a major outcry for more girl games about 10 years ago and they have tried to fill the void to accommodate the female population that likes to play games with all of today’s technology and gadgets.

I think Ms Pac Man was actually the first video game that was aimed at the more feminine crowd. We have come a long way since the 80’s haven’t we. If I had all the money that I spent on those games that were in all of the popular bars and taverns, I’d have a nice check book balance.

I have to say that this is another case where I think these people are NUTS!  I’m glad that the baby was placed in protective custody and I hope the parents never get it back!  And I hope that the parents are locked up for a very long time.  This is a case when I think that the courts out to have the right to force sterilization on people, because in my own opinion people like this should never be allowed to have children again!

If our reporters can’t report the actual truth about something this mundane, how can we expect the truth about really important political issues?

I believe that this year I will be looking online to find her favorite Cologne. Good thing she still has a little left in the bottle on her dresser for me to get the name off of the darn thing. I can never remember what it is called, even after 30 years of being with the woman! The Internet will make finding one of her favorite Fragrances a much easier task to take on. It was a real pain in the rear in the years before the Internet when I used to have to bounce around from store to store in order to find it each time. A man like me just doesn’t feel comfortable in the Perfume department, ya know what I’m saying?

Anyway I do believe that a nice dinner and a nice gift will make it an evening to remember, at least until the next one rolls around in only 12 months.

Well, those are all novel ideas, but I’ll tell you this – give me a standard hotel room, complete with fancy bedroom sets that include a dresser and night stands, and a real bathroom with a shower in it! When I travel, I need room to stretch, and I don’t want to have to wait in line with a with a bunch of strangers to use a bathroom in the middle of the night!

One of my cousins has been studying up to get her realtors license because she thinks that she can actually make a living selling Wilmington NC real estate. Right now I would have a really hard time believing that anyone can make a living as a realtor!

I can’t remember the last time I’ve ever been to North Carolina other than to simply drive through on my way to Florida!  I can’t really say that it looked much different than Virginia to me, but who am I to say?

I’ve done the best that I can in managing my finances, but I’ve slipped up a few times and I’d like the chance to repair my bad credit. So I’ve done some research on my laptop and see that there is a company by the name of DSI Solutions that advertises to “Repair Your Bad Credit” and I’m thinking of contacting them and seeing what they can do for me and my financial situation. I’ve known folks that have used these online credit repair services and have heard good things about what they have done in the past. So what the heck, I’ll give it a go as well, it’s just gotta get better!

I hear so many people complain about how bad the economy is, but they seem to find the money to go and buy (and gas up) the cars they love just the same! For example, my nephew was asking me what I thought a fair Toyota 4runner price is because he thinks that he wants to buy one! I hear that car sales are slumping, but you couldn’t prove it by me!

And just last week my next door neighbor was telling me that he was looking into the toyota yaris price. He wants to buy one for his wife sometime this summer. He’s expecting a pay raise and a bonus and he hopes to use it to buy her a new car.

I admire the sentiment, but right now I think that counting your chickens before they hatch can be a big mistake! I hope he doesn’t put a down payment on the car before he gets that raise and bonus in his hands! After all, a car is to get you from Point A to Point B. A new car IS a luxury that many of us can’t afford right now.

I’ve seen too many stories on television about repair shops taking advantage of the out-of-towner who needs something done quickly while on a vacation to want to be in that kind of a helpless situation – being at the mercy of someone who might be well-known locally for being disreputable, but completely unknown to me.  That’s why I think that the Internet makes it easier to find good help in situations like that.  For example, the repairpal.com website will help the consumer to find reputable repair shops around the country, and even give you an idea of how much the repair should cost.  Armed with this information, it should make it harder for the disreputable folks to take advantage of the traveler in need.
