You Make My Day!

Saturday, March 1st, 2008



Ok, ok, I’m here. Yes, it did take me a little while to get to this, but I am quite happy to oblige. My dear friend Paul, over at the infamous Homeowner’s Blog was kind enough to include me in his “You Make My Day!” post. I knew I would squeeze in there somewhere.

I have an issue with this whole thing (leave it to me). The official rules are telling me to list 5 that I really read. What if I only read 2 and then throw in another one every once in a while? Oh well, I guess that’s the way it’s got to be. Here goes…

1. The Henry Family Blog - The blog is owned and operated by my sister Stephanie and her manly husband Steve. It’s not too old…I think under a year, but it certainly is getting there. They talk about all sorts of stuff and sometimes I grace them with a comment.

2. Homeowner’s Blog - This is Paul’s blog. I read this one when I am done reading the blog I listed above. There is some good stuff in there, but he doesn’t nearly talk about me as much as he should be. Once a post would be nice.

3. Sun Volt Solar Blog - I read this one every so often. I know the guy who runs it, so I have an in to the latest in the energy front. Even though I don’t believe in renewable energy, I do get a kick out of what he writes. HAHAHAHA, just kidding. I believe in renewable energy.

So, there you have it. That’s all I got. I read some more , but none as much as I read these. Here are the rules, so Stephanie and Steve better write about me:

The obligatory rules that go with these sorts of posts are…
The ‘ award’ works like this:

1) Write a post with links to 5 that make you think and/or make your day.
2) Acknowledge the post of the award giver.
3) Tell the award winners that they have won by commenting on their with the news!

The Mother of All Wasteful Credit Card Offers - With Pics

Saturday, March 1st, 2008



Just in case you haven’t seen it on the news or read it on countless , there is a little problem out there with waste. We are wasting everything we can get our hands on, which, in turn, depletes the earth’s natural resources and fills up landfills. If I thought hard enough, I could probably go down the whole chain of events for you, but I am sure you can figure that out yourself.

Now, I realize we have all gotten stupid credit card offers in the mail. I am pretty sure about 1% of us actually asked for them. If you are anything like me, you feel guilty every time you either shred the offer or just toss the paper in the recycling bin. You do recycle, don’t you? Well, today, I received the mother of all waste…a credit card offer from Capital One WITH BUBBLE WRAP IN THE ENVELOPE!!! Yes, you read correctly. Today, I received a credit card off from Capital One that had bubble wrap in the envelope. For what reason? I have no idea. Maybe to protect the paper. You know what? Just look at the photos so you can see how ridiculous this has gotten…

Is it me? I have seen all kinds of scummy ways these companies try to trick us into thinking these wastes of paper are important. They use manila envelopes, clear envelopes, all different sizes of envelopes, envelopes that scream curse words at you and smack you in the face…but BUBBLE WRAP???
