Eating Nutritiously A Struggle When Money Is Scarce : NPR

Have you all read this article yet? I bet you have. It’s had me in a snit all morning. I feed a family of eight (and that is not two adults and six kids – that is five over 18 and three under) for 100 – 150$ per person per month. I don’t do it …

Money is the devil, child

I have Kathy Bates (as her character in The Waterboy) in my head saying that. Last night I put all of our monthly bills and expenses for each pay period from now until January 6 down on paper. I proceeded to flip my shit and look into shutting things off. I then realized I don’t …

I need a large Sony Walkman case

Year Expo Report

We hit the South Florida Tattoo Expo last night. I have a tradition now. I have to go, because if I don’t go, something awesome will be there and I’ll miss it. Otherwise, it’s the same old craptastic expo that it’s degenerated into. The hotel that is it hosted at now is not laid out …

So little to do, so much time. Strike that, reverse it.

Last night we went to Fogarty’s for dinner. They are the yum. Had a seared ahi appetizer (spit between us), I had mashed potatoes, asparagus, grouper stuffed with crab with a red pepper sauce and Michael had his steak mooing with mashed potatoes (I think), broccoli and onion rings (those thin fancy ones) and we …
