Kroger part 2
Okay – many of you have commented in on my last post, wanting to know if Kroger had indeed gotten the best of me. OF COURSE NOT!!!!! In fact, I’m hurt that you could even suggest such a thing. They caved like a master spelunker. It actually wasn’t even that hard. I called up to…

Uhhuh Kroger, you want a piece of ME?
Apparently Kroger does not read my blog in which National City caves (Part 1 and Part 2). I go there today for some deals and also go to pick up a prescription from the pharmacy. I had to have them transfer it over from Meijer where Meijer had only let me use one prescription coupon…

FLEM Fantasy Baseball Draft 2008
Last night we had our annual fantasy baseball draft. This league originally started out in 1989 when we were all (mostly) in 7th grade. This would be our 20th year but nobody ran the league while I was on my mission. The draft went pretty well. We used to run an online fantasy sports site…

In which National City caves (Satisfaction part 2)
Oh yes National City, you WILL be mine. Following up on the post from the other day, here are the updates on my saga with National City. Attempt 7: Going back on what the lady in Attempt 6, I called up what is apparently my “home branch”, which is where I opened the account some…

Practice Triathlon
So with my upcoming triathlon (April 19th), I thought I’d do a practice triathlon. With not a ton of time before work, I opted for a half distance. Yes that’s right, half of the shortest triathlon out there. Got up bright and early and headed out to the Y. First up was the swim. Of…
