On the way to Walmart this afternoon I was passed by a MA state trooper on his way to a call. When we got to Walmart, we saw the trooper along with 3 others and several town cops surrounding a house just in front of Wally-world, not even a stones throw from the parking lot. We went into the...

I have 4 of the $15 off Mobil coupons to give away. Even though I don't ski, I've been colleting these things in the hopes I can help someone out. If anyone's interested, send me a PM with your adress and I'll mail them off to you. If there's a demand, I'll keep collecting them and mailing...

Since my current sytem is really showing it's age (now a blown power supply) I'm seriously looking at options for my next system. We only use the machine to edit/print/burn photos, balance the checkbook, surf the web (currently via 28.8k dial-up), and play kids games. The little one is only 3...

After a crappy end to the workweek last week, my luck seems to have made a complete 180... I won two tickets to see the Worcester Tornadoes from the place where I get my oil changed in the company pickup (free drawing). I thought "It figures, I need three tickets or I have to give them away."...

The Jansport Goshawk 40 is a 2450 cu.in. internal frame pack, on sale at Campmor for $49.97. Seems like a good deal, but I'm hesitant to purchase packs that I haven't personally tried on. I haven't been able to locate any place local that carries them, so I'm looking for some honest reviews...

Assuming the president is right and Social Security will be bankrupt in 2042 under the current unchanged system, I was wondering what all of you think about president Bush's proposal for setting up personal investment accounts. Personally I'm so sick of all of these politicians pretending that...

Saturday morning I woke up and let my ten-month old Siberian Husky out of her kennel to play in the newfallen snow. I watched for a few minutes as she walked around the yard, trying to figure out what all of the white stuff was. Before long she was tearing around, having an absolute ball on...

I can't believe I'm the first one to post this wonderful news. Everyone must still be sleeping off the "haze" from last night. 8) What a great game, well played by both sides, and enjoying it in the company of many family and friends with some great food just made it even better...
