ahh, sick days

… How you tantalize me so, with your promise of all the time in the world to write whatever I want… and none of the willpower or mental faculties to do so. 

Maybe I will work on some pictures instead.  That is fairly mindless.  …

patience of a saint

Well, Better Half has managed to put up with me, at least legally speaking, for the past six years…  Here is to hoping she continues to do so.

Happy anniversary, babe!  …

quote of the day – tango

As regular readers are aware, I abide by the Say Uncle school of blogging: I do this to entertain me, not you. I figure the hosting charges are cheaper than a shrink would be, and venting my frustrations about how our country is slowly collapsing in on itself here is …

a decade later

Ten years ago this past night, Better Half and I started dating. 

Fair to say we have come a pretty long way since then, in some directions neither of us probably planned on…  But I think the ride has been worth it, and the company certainly cannot be beat.  Thanks …

I spent all of last night alternating between fever/chills and wanting to barf my guts up.  If you honestly expect meaningful content to be posted here today, you might want to check your meds.  …

when kittens attack

… Because this world needs more kitten photos (both below were captured by Better Half, with the video being mine):

the quicker sender-awayer

It probably goes without saying that I inherited a fair amount of my perverse sense of humor from my parents; for example, when the Jehovah’s Witnesses / Church of Latter-Day Saints / etc. would come knocking at our door, my parents would listen very politely to the folks’ opening spiel, …

off for the long weekend

Well, my parents are about half an hour out, and we are taking off a few days on either side of the weekend to spend some time with them… So, basically, have a happy and safe Memorial Day, and enjoy whatever posts I was able to scrounge together and schedule …

any publicity is good

linogeknoxnewslinogeknoxnewsOver the past sixish years, I have done and written a lot of things at this weblog, and I have been assisted along the way by some awesome folks.  We have covered local politics from numerous states and countless angles, we have tracked and documented country-wide trends and shown their …

target audience fail

I just thought I would give some helpful advice to the “North American Hunting Club”, since it is obvious they need it: 

1.  I hate spam.  I do not care if it comes in my email, or my carbon mailbox.  Stop sending it to me. 

2.  I am not a …

slip-slidin’ away

Why am I interested in procuring actual, physical precious metals, rather than electronic “accounts”? 

Because gos-se like this is really starting to worry the hell out of me:

hindsight is 20/45

If I knew a year ago what I know now, this would hardly be a question, but I am still actively pursuing my options thanks to a lot of helpful advice in the previous thread, which brings us to this question: 

Is it worth getting into silver (or …

pretty shiny things

So, what do you know about buying precious metals?  And, no, I do not mean buying precious-metal-related mutual funds, or precious-metal-related accounts; I mean actual, honest-to-God, hold-in-your-hand metals. 

I have been plowing through the information provided by the Northwest Territorial Mint and vaguely eyeing their Stagecoach Silver, simply because …
