I think I want to wear ties again....

I miss neckties. I know that does not sound like me, but yeah, I miss 'em. I'm sick of wearing polo's to work and since it's getting cooler now so I am wearing more button down shirts. But the caveat would have to be that I can wear "fun" ties to work like the ones on the left. I found those ties HERE as well as directions on how to tie all the knots I usually screw up :-)

I used to wear a lot of fun novelty ties when I was in an office. Once I went into the IT field they were not the best idea. Open PC's running... well you get the idea. Being a desk jockey again makes me want to dress up now and again and not just for interviews. Maybe it's just time....

I admit it, guilty as charged!

It seems 78% of Americans re-gift. Yup, guilty as charged :-) In fact, I think my entire family has done it multiple times. Now deep down, does this really surprise anybody? LOL, yes I'm sure it does and now it's a statistic :-) I guess the real question is why. For me.... frankly there are very very few people who get it right. My wife does. My parents who have know me all my life? mmmmm not so much :-) Oh well, one month to re-gifting season! Happy Holidays everyone!

Parent criticizes book 'Fahrenheit 451'

Queue the irony in 3, 2, 1.....

OK, so this parent wants to ban a sci-fi book that is about book banning and censorship.......

AAAahhhh hahahahahahahahahahahahahaah Too funny! Oh yeah, in case you didn't know, Bradbury chose the number 451 in the title because that is the temperature at which paper burns.

A Caney Creek High School dad is fired up because the Conroe Independent School District uses the book "Fahrenheit 451" as classroom reading material.

P.s. Don’t read into the Dude Love thing. It’s just a nickname, I swear.

Yes this is a total rip-off from Best Week Ever. Go see 'em, they rock! LINK
