Daily Dose of BS Sept 24

I am 44 years old and still have to sit at the kids table.  This weekend we drove north to East Grand Forks for my Father in Laws 81^st birthday, 8 hours in the car each way.  Gas prices suck there too, speed limit is a bit higher in Minnesota than Wisconsin, you can go 70 on the interstate, and in North Dakota you can go 75.  I drive a minivan, don’t feel to cool going 75.  Back to family time, my wife is the youngest of 6 and I am younger than her by 3 years so when I first fell into the family I was much younger than the rest of the group,  I remember rocking out my zubaz and had long hair and earrings.  My things have changed now no hair and no earrings but I still have my 25 year old zubaz.  The birthday party brought out the usual, everyone brings their A game best pot luck food, I bring my appetite and my smarty pants attitude, the sister inlaws were all sitting around talking about 31 bags ( much more fun at the kids table ), I overheard it that conversation and said 31 bags there are only 6 of you.  I guess I no longer wonder why I have to sit at the kids table.   

Daily Dose of BS May 21

It seems like more and more dropping their home phone lines.  I still have a home phone and am sure I will for many years as I have young kids, that and I have a great home phone number.  I have been running a business out of my house for many years and have had a business phone/ fax number for many years compliments of a magicJack internet phone, I am one that saw the late night tv commercial many years ago and thought what the heck, if I buy it and it doesn’t work I’m only out 20 bucks or so, I have had mine for at least 4 years and have been nothing but pleased, I bought a thin client so that I could keep my magicJack on all the time without running my computer, this worked well for quite awhile, soon after I got the thin client hook up, the folks at magicJack came up with the magicJack Plus, a device so that I could plug into my router and power and wa-la I would have phone, I finally broke down and got one, the only complaint I have is that I was not able to port over the pre-paid time I bought on my original magicJack, there is a $20 a year service fee for having the magicJack phone but for me well worth the fee.  Having a cell phone is lots easier, but if you need a fax number or a back up phone at your home, you should check out the magicJack.
