Chick-fil-A Milkshake 12.30.09

Back in November, I was lucky and won another Chick-fil-A Twitter contest.  This time it was for a milkshake, which I’ve never had before, even as often as I go.  They not only look nice, being topped with whipped cream and a cherry, but they are delicious!  It was hands-down one of the best milkshakes [...]

Explosions Last Night 12.30.09

Last night we heard and felt some explosions, but had no idea what it was.  We wasn’t sure if it was an accident or what, but from the way it felt, we imagined it being something less than a mile away.  My dad guessed that it was dynamite somewhere, but we couldn’t think of anyplace [...]

Times Are Tough 12.23.09

We hear almost daily the statistics and state of our economy, but sometimes it takes seeing an individual do something that he/she normally wouldn’t do to make it hit home that times are tough.  I went to the mall the other day for the first time in a long while, and there are numerous vacant [...]

Christmas Bonus 12.17.09

I’ve never gotten a Christmas bonus at work before, until this paycheck.  I’ve never really been concerned about it, nor felt like I’m getting shorted, because a bonus is just that, a bonus, and something that shouldn’t be counted on or expected.  So that’s one plus that we’re going to be getting now that we’ve [...]

I Take That Back Craigslist 12.16.09

I decided on Monday to list that hood that I mentioned one more time just to see if there would be any bites or if Craigslist was a lost cause for it.  Within 20 minutes I got an email from a guy that was interested in it.  I wasn’t interested in trading so I told [...]

Help Portrait Dalton 12.12.09

Help Portrait is a movement of photographers who are using their time, equipment and expertise to give back to those who are less fortunate this holiday season.
I first learned about Help Portrait by one of the guys (Ty Miller) setting up the one here in Dalton through Twitter.  While watching the video, which was very [...]

Craigslist Low-Ballers 12.09.09

Every classified/auction site online apparently has it’s own quirks.  eBay is home of outrageous fees for the sellers and then sellers that charge outrageous shipping to make money.  Craigslist has got to be the home of low-ballers.
I have a brand new aftermarket ram-air style hood for the S10 that I recently put on there.  I [...]
