Well, it wasn’t funny at the time, but I would have to day that the funniest trip I ever had to New York City would have to be the one we took last month, with our mediocre hotel. The comedy began when I got out of the car to request the valet park it. [...]

The vyrl coupon fiasco
August 28th, 2008 · No Comments
I’ll admit there, a part of me that is thinking “there’s a company that regulates coupons? How do I work for them?” Anyway, remember a couple of weeks ago when I blogged about the great coupons that were available on Facebook via the check it Out application? The ones distributed by the [...]

I was in Florida last weekend. The only plus of Fay was that it ws cooler than it generally would be. However, I don’t know how Floridians survived without auto air conditioning. Of course, I’m sure that when their air conditioning fails, say, if they need a new A/C compressor, they [...]

A much needed solution
August 19th, 2008 · No Comments
I’m a big fan of the Internet. However, it frustrates me that there are times when a simple query in the search engine of your choice just doesn’t get you what you need. One place where we have had this issue is with professionals who can do household chores We’ve tried [...]
