Another scam...and Trick or Treat night

"Hi

Thanks and God bless"

I guess I have a wedding dress for sale. I had no clue. Maybe I should check my listings for stuff that I'm getting rid of just to be sure...

Wait a minute.
They said God bless.

It can't be a scam.
Nobody that believes in God would try to cheat me out of my wedding dress.
I better email them back to see if they'll still buy it

It's trick-or-treat night

For me, that means passing out candy to adults.
Yes, adults in football jerseys as costumes.

Many with an extra bag because "Bubby is sick"

Many with newborns in strollers that aren't even done breastfeeding (assuming), let alone up to chewing bubble gum or eating Runt's

one of these days i want to be able to turn people away but with the way people are about their Smartee's, I don't want to risk having a scene in my yard with a thousand kids running around...
maybe next year

Weekend Update

This weekend could not have been any better...unless the Buckeyes would have won.

Road Trip to Virginia with my girl
Game night
Busch Gardens
Howl-O-Scream
Cheeburger Cheeburger (that's the name of an awesome "cheeseburger" place)
Hanging out with my brother and his family at their really nice new home
$2.29/gallon gas

Good times and new beginnings.
Too bad we forgot our cameras.

I don't know what to think about this one...

UPDATE
I had a link here that went to an article about an 89 year old woman getting arrested because she wouldn't give some kids back their ball that kept going in her yard. She ended up suing. Not sure what the outcome was


On a side note...
Heroes is good.
Not as good as The Office.
I'm glad NBC exists.

Only three more days...

Fun Night...

Getting threatened by a 16 year old kid after you tell him to leave your yard at 1:30am is funny. Wish I had video of that to post.

Maybe next time...

Bob Evans Farm

Papaw took us to the Bob Evans Farm today. Good times. Here are some pictures.

Weird thing happened today...

I woke up, got in the shower, and noticed huge deep scratches on my side. My brother "informed" me ("Gosh, fatty. Are those stretch marks?") that they look like stretch marks. But they be scratches. No idea what they are from. I thought that maybe I accidentally did it in my sleep but I had just clipped my nails and couldn't have done it. Maybe I angered the ghost that lives in our house.


True story.

"Beverly Hills Chihuahua" is the only light comedy in a market heavy on drama. Chuck Viane, Disney's head of distribution, said movie-goers may be turning to the perky pooch to help forget the market free-fall on Wall Street.

Weird. That's why "Eagle Eye" hasn't been playing at the local theater, because of Wall Street.

Another thing that sucks is music these days. Britney Spears just came out with a video where I guess she is naked for the whole thing. She'll be selling quite a few copies of her album now since she is "back", whatever that means.

Crazy amount of time in the tabloids for doing crazy things+ music video with crazy amount of naked time + no focus on actual music = Multi-Platinum Album

Maybe.

October 9th

I just think this is a funny picture...

Everyone should watch The Office and Heroes.
Deal?

And I thought getting $3.25 per gallon today was good...

http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/steo/pub/special/summogas.html

"The U.S. retail price of regular gasoline reached an estimated average of $1.52 per gallon in March 2000, about 53 cents per gallon above the same month in 1999. February's average was also 23 cents per gallon above the average seen in January 2000. Increases of this magnitude are highly unusual. The last such episode was associated with the onset of the Gulf War (August 1990). The high nominal gasoline prices being experienced now follow from two important (and related) results of production cutbacks by major producing countries since 1998: dwindling world petroleum inventories and sharply higher crude oil prices. Crude oil prices began a steep upturn on world markets in March of 1999 and continued to climb through the winter just ended. Since then, the cost paid by U.S. refiners for crude oil rose almost $15 per barrel (35 cents per gallon). Meanwhile, U.S. inventories of crude oil and finished products fell sharply. As of April 1, crude oil and motor gasoline inventories were at very low levels in the context of what is considered "normal" for this time of year. Expected demand growth this year, while small by historical standards, is expected to keep stock levels lean, even with anticipated increases in refinery output.

Retail gasoline prices (regular grade) this summer are expected to average $1.46 per gallon, 25 percent higher than last summer’s average of $1.17 per gallon. That projection also exceeds the previous (current-dollar) record summer average of $1.35 recorded in 1981. The peak monthly average price this summer (April) is expected to be $1.52 per gallon, the same as seen in March. Prices are then expected to decline to $1.39 by the end of summer, given the implications of the recently concluded agreement by OPEC members to increase production."

Dang is the word you are looking for.

Dang.

Lucky me...

Katie and I are going to see my BFFs this week and some CCU kids.

Good times.

Enjoy.
