Ghetto stud finder
So, first of all, all the “stud” jokes have already all been made. No need to repeat them in the comments or anything. Anyways, we have one of those stud finders that run on batteries (speficially the iSensor from Zircon) With our recent spate of hanging things up and such, we needed to break out…

Service
So…. as Carolyn pointed out last week, we here in Cincinnati got slammed last Sunday by the tail of Hurricane Ike. So we didn’t have much damage at our house, and unlike some people (who are STILL without power a week later), we only lost power for a few hours (we got it back just…

Fun times at Meijer
Here’s a letter that I just whipped out to Meijer===============Hello, I am writing with a complaint from my recent shopping visit to Meijer store 224 (Marburg Ave Cincinnati OH) on Wednesday night around 6:30 p.m. I came shopping with my entire family. Because I only needed to get a few things, I figured it was…

If you start talking to me after I say goodbye….
…I am going to hang up on you. This happens all the time when I am on the phone with various companies, for call center / customer service type things. We do our business, complete the transaction or what have you and then I say something along the lines of “Thank you so much”, in…
