Bits of wisdom and a quick hammer video.
When shopping for something mechanical or electronic always weigh each box in your hand and pick the heaviest one. Heavy=good and is more likely to have all the parts included.
The cubed and shredded cheeses in the deli may seem like a good deal but they were trimmed from the middle of a moldy block and re=packaged. Give em the sniff test if you don't believe me.
You can buy off brand Kahlua, it all tastes the same.
You can take a stale bag of chips spread them on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 5 min and make them as good as new.
All toothpaste and mouthwashes are the same. They all have the same ingredients Save your money and buy the cheap stuff.
A half a lemon dipped in table salt cleans counter tops better than most off the shelf products.
Always buy generic store brand medicines. Exact same ingredients half the price.
Don't take Tylenol if you drink. Bad combination for your liver. Remember, almost all cold medicines contain acetaminophen as well.
Remember to read something aloud before you hit the leave comment button. (I'm bad about it)
If you drink and blog and have failed to get the word verification correct more than 7 times in a row your comment probably isn't any good anyway.
The word "cunt" should be kept behind glass and only used in emergencies.

Having fun with youtube.com
With the piles of steaming crap on TV these days, the expense and hassle of going out, and the difficulty of finding something to entertain myself and the kids I was desperate for some kind of diversion.
I figure the kids won't be little forever and spending time with them whenever possible is in all of our best interest.
So I called the kids in to the office, went onto youtube and started looking for stuff that I liked as a kid. All of the sudden, after the first couple of songs and videos everyone is laughing and having a good time.
Eureaka! I don't have to watch another Pokemon video or dress naked Barbies for the umpteenth time.
The great thing about youtube is, once find something entertaining, there are long lists of similar videos to keep the ball rolling.
For example, last night I looked up theme songs from vintage cartoons and that kept us busy laughing, singing and acting silly for hours. I was even able to find a couple of educational items and PSA clips to throw in between without everyone losing interest.
I never realized that there are hundreds of thousands of home made videos done to popular songs, many of which are clever and hilarious, Ever see Spongebob lipsync Elvis or the punk rock version of the Munsters theme song with dancing hamsters?
Every once in a while, it's good to act like a kid again and forget the everyday stresses and problems that seem to cloud up our minds and make us forget what's really important.
Here are a few things that we all liked.
