So this news is a week old, but I'm very excited that the FTC has finally done something that will really make my day better. The FTC has banned pre-recorded sales calls! Instead of wasting time fining people on TV, the FTC has decided to put inflict its power on those horrible companies who send out recorded messages. YAY!

OK, so after some badgering from Little Kenny, I realized that I should really start posting again. So Michael and I flew down to Mexico a couple weeks ago and coming back from there to the US was the easiest thing ever. We didn't have to take off our shoes or jackets (not that we had any); or remove our laptaps (not that we had any); or take out our silly little plastic bag of liquids (we had

So Michael and I have been talking about taking a trip to Europe for about a year now, but now we're really closing in on deciding where to go. Last year, we had started with Spain and Germany and the Netherlands and and Iceland and all those little Eastern European countries. We were all over the place. Michael had even gotten me to come around to Paris. Before, I figured I'd go there when I'm

OK, so I had the WORST SANDWICH I've ever eaten on Saturday. This sandwich beats out my previous worst sandwich ever from Shari's in Oregon. It was a badly made BLT. How does a restaurant screw up a BLT? Old lettuce, limp fatty bacon and really bad tomatoes. Anyway, this sandwich that I had on Saturday was MUCH worse and I only have myself to blame. So we went to a place called Lee's Sandwiches

OK, so Little Kenny commented that my marshmallows don't look so big. I took a picture with one in the palm of my hand. My palms are 3 3/4 inches long! These are really huge marshmallows. And, of course, I'm still not willing to break open the bag. My hands smell really sweet right now; I'm so happy.

So we went to the Mexican supermarket, Phoenix Ranch Market, the other day. Besides having freshly made tortillas (they are still warm when I get them back to my house which is 30 miles away) and fresh cheese in bulk, they now have the biggest marshmallows I've ever seen. I had to buy them. They're straight from Mexico and they make my pantry smell lovely with all their processed goodness. I

Okay, so we just moved for the THIRD time in 2 years! This is it. No matter what happens, we need to stay put for at least a few years. I do love moving to new places, but the last couple of years was a little much. However, renting two different houses in this area helped put our needs into perspective as we looked at a house to buy. Tomorrow will officially be the 1 month anniversary of our

So with the passing of the economic stimulus tax rebate plan (with which I don't agree), there are all these news stories about the newest tax scam going around. Con artists are posing as IRS agents and calling people or sending out emails soliciting bank account numbers and other sensitive information. So there is the number one problem with giving people free money. There is a ton of people who

So I was flipping around the TV this weekend and found Friday the 13th Part 2. I love watching horror movies in the morning; it's just a great way to start the day. I've never actually seen any of the Friday the 13th movies. Being a child of the 80's, I had to watch it. I love late 70's and early 80's teenage movies: the hair, the music, the cool dudes looking like regular goofy guys. The whole

So this Swiss company, Katadyn, revealed last year a brand new product: canned cheeseburgers! At first, I was truly disgusted, thinking that this was something for the supermarket. (I came across it in a Zagat newsletter). However, was developed under their Trekking-Mahlzeiten label and is meant for the outdoors. So after backpacking for 5 days eating dehydrated food, you can heat up this

So I had been hearing for a while that jelly shoes had come back with all the other terrible 80's fashion. I never truly believed it until yesterday. I was walking around Urban Outfitters happily noting that they were starting to come away from such an 80's throw-back look, when the jellies caught my eye. It was like getting smacked in the face! They just came out of nowhere and looked identical

So Michael and I went to check out a brewpub in south Scottsdale called Papago Brewing. The draft selection is decently varied, but it's the stock in the coolers that really sets this place apart. You can buy anything from the cooler to drink onsite or to take home and there have to be over two hundred selections. They had of our favorites, Rogue's Ten Thousand Brew Ale, that is quite hard to

So I was just flipping around the TV, literally moments ago, and I stopped on My Super Sweet 16 on MTV. I always give this show a few minutes when I find it. The ridiculous premise is that 16-year olds of the rich and famous plan these completely over-the-top parties that cost more than most people's weddings. It's highly entertaining to watch the parents give their kids whatever they want and to

So I got this coupon, yes coupon, in the mail for vaginal reconstruction. I usually get coupons for window cleaners, airport shuttles, exterminators etc. OK so the doctors who sent out this coupon call there procedures the Aussie Makeover because they involve your "down under" region. I almost fell over laughing. Vagina plastic surgery at a deal! How can I resist using this coupon? It says it

So the BBC News had this story Grylls series 'to be transparent' about the show Man vs Wild, which is on the Discovery Channel. The show appears to be similar to another Discovery Channel show, Survivorman, in which the host is stranded in some wilderness situation and then left to his own devices to get back to civilization. That is where the similarities end. On Survivorman, Les Stroud

So I saw this article the other day, To Woo Europeans, McDonald’s Goes Upscale. It's about how McDonald's is changing their look to lure customers into its European restaurants. They're making them over to look more upscale and adding useful luxuries, "to attract more young adults and professionals ... the chain is also adding amenities like Internet access and rental iPods." (Even their

So it seems like everyone I know is having babies right now. Must be that old biological clock ticking. Congrats to all of you! Anyway, in honor of all those babies, I finally decided to post my Top 10 Reasons Not to Have Kids. Now, I know that people mean well, but when I tell them that I don't want kids EVER, some get that sad look of disbelief and tell me that it's different when you have

So we just got back from Cabo, Mexico. We stayed at Cabo Pulmo and Westin Los Cabos. The former was pure relaxation beach bliss! The latter was luxury and magnificent beach views and, of course, idiot hotel guests. The title of KING AND QUEEN IDIOT goes to the couple pictured below. As you can see, these FOOLS brought an inflatable pool for their baby. When I was down at the pool I saw the

So I'm reading the paper and SMACK, I come across this headline: How Do Cats LikeRabbits? Very Much, Raw I couldn't believe it. Cat owners buy raw bunnies for their pets to eat? I just thought cat (and dog) food was made from whatever is left over from human food. Apparently, that is the case with canned and dry food according to the article. That is the reason these people buy raw bunnies

So I'm reading the Across the USA section from USAToday. This happens to be my favorite part about staying in hotels. I would never actually buy USAToday, but I love to read it, especially all the blurbs from across the nation. Anyway, I come across a good one from Rhode Island. Some 65 year old murderer got released last year from 33 years in jail and is now in custody as the prime suspect in

OK, I know this movie came out last year, but I just saw Fast Food Nation and it SUCKS! I was dubious when I had seen the previews for the movie because it was a work of fiction whereas the book written by Eric Schlosser is a really good hunk of research and intriguing nonfiction about the history, growth and impact of the fast food industry. I thought that with the right elements and style, it

So I'm reading this article in the NY Times about this guy, Duke Riley, who built a submarine out of plywood to do a performance art piece in homage to the supposed wooden submarine called the Turtle used during the American Revolution. So Duke gets a couple of his buddies in an inflatable to tow him towards the Queen Mary 2 which was docked in some NY harbor. Of course, this raises suspicion

So Mrs. Little Kenny pointed out to me yesterday that I am seriously lagging on posts. I've had a lot to rant about, but have been in a funk about actually putting it "on paper" so to speak. So I vow to come back fresh and renewed from the Oregon Brewers Fest that I'm going up to this weekend. BEER, BEER, LOTS OF BEER!!! In the meantime, laugh at this picture; I do everytime that I look at it.

So I'm going to sound like an total old lady, but what is up with high school students thinking they have a bunch of rights? Recently, I have heard two stories in the news about high school students protesting policies or actions taken by their schools. And then the stupid schools are condoning the students' protests. These students believe that the schools are violating their rights. I've got a

So I've read a couple articles lately about Second Life and I just don't get it. I think that's probably the first key there is that I read about it and don't do it;I'm not going to do it. Also, I've never been into the chat room phenomenon and I guess this was the logical step from there. I can understand that aspect. What I can't understand is that people spend real money to buy virtual real
