At about 10 this morning, as I was getting ready to go and check the mailbox, so guy walked up with a grocery bag full of stuff. He said he was part of the Adopt-A-Block program from the First Assembly of God Church, shoved the bag at me and left...leaving me standing in the door quite befuddled. I watched as they went to every single house on the street handing out bags, everyone looking just as confused as I felt.I looked their webiste and found that not only do they run the Food Pantry for the town, but they are going to be roving around on the weekends handing out stuff for the foreseable future. It pisses me off to find out that the items that myself and countless others in town have donated are being wasted by handing it out to people who don't even need it. There are people here in town that really could use that food. I was going to take it back up there, but now I think I'm going to give it to the Forney Food Pantry instead since I know that it will go out to a family who ...

Hurray for Air Conditioning!
We got the air conditioning fixed yesterday early yesterday. The fuses blew due to the extreme heat we have been having. It got up to 114 yesterday, and it's already 110 right now. It took most of the day to cool back down, so we ended up having Hannah spend Tuesday night and most of yesterday over at my parent's house. They were happy to have her, and she enjoyed chasing the cats around. ...
Product Review – about.me
A week or so ago, I was invited to my first BzzAgent campaign for about.me. about.me is a website that lets you create a personal page that has a short bio and links all of your online sites...sort of like a business card. The page is fully customizable and completely free. The concept is pretty neat, so I headed over the to site and registered. After a quick and easy sign up, I picked out my custom URL, then got to work creating my page. You can choose from 17 different gallery backgrounds, or upload your own. I ended up using one of the gallery images since I don't have any good pictures of myself. Next, you can type in your info, then edit the font & colors. You have your name in big, bold letters, a headline consisting of whatever text your want, and a big bio space. I've left my bio empty for the moment because I have absolutely no idea what to write. You can then add in links to all your different online info, or 'services', like Blogger, WordPress, Twitter, and ...
