Shoot Me Now

You want to know a really great practical joke that you can play on someone who is using a porta potty?  You wanna? First, find a rock.  One that will go in to a hole like this one.  You can find these holes on the back of most porta potties. Now, sneak behind the porta potty ...

It was only a few weeks ago when we stumbled upon out first geocache.  I believe that made us “geomuggles.” Out of curiosity, we purposely hunted for another.  From there, we have discovered geocaching caches camouflaged as coral, trees, logs and even a spider. I cannot tell you wh...

Or is it? My boss brought a trash bag full of raw, dried peanuts to work.  "I know!  I'll make homemade peanut butter!"  One googled recipe and 30 minutes later, I soon found myself with a baking pan full of homemade roasted peanuts. Alton Brown's homemade peanut butter recipe...

You may remember the last time I talked about my refrigerator.   How many of you have ever found blood in your fridge?  Blood that is pooling beneath a mystery bag of meat? This week my refrigerator runneth over.  Behold exhibit A. I can’t tell you who put these skulls in my refr...

While sitting on the shores of Crane Lake at Suffolk’s Lone Star Lakes, it is hard to believe the ocean’s salty water once covered the area.  The story is almost unbelievable. Thirty-five million years ago, a two-mile-wide asteroid plummeted to the earth.  Its impact caused a series...

Mine, hands down, came from my brother.  It was unique.  It was personal.  It was well thought out.  It was COOL. Imagine pulling one of these things at a time out of a box.  Above?  Catnip, lemon balm and chamomile for infusions.  I also got two tea dippers, one for me and one f...

Have you ever looked over one of your receipts and thought, “HUH?!” I sometimes wonder who creates receipt abbreviations.  Imagine the power.  You have the license to be creative in a format that most won’t read.  The world is your abbreviated oyster. The writer of this particul...

And a knife.  For real. I’m not sure how we got back in to fishing.  It’s probably due to my older son’s love for the sport.  Towards the end of the summer, we began to surf fish in Corolla, and it has done nothing but escalate from there. Would I begin a fishing spree i...

I got it.  I actually GOT IT!  I got a picture of the Reindeer Truck! For two weeks, I have seen this truck driving through our area.  But I’ve never been near enough to take a picture.  I see him ahead and he turns.  He closes in behind me and stops at a light.  Indeed, this myst...

You have spent so much on your Itocuh, it only makes sense to give it the proper protection! ...

It all started innocently enough.  I woke up and began my birthday by driving the kids to school and going to work.  After work, I got the kids back home and decided to do something completely crazy for myself on my special day.  I decided to go to the gym. Perhaps this is where I made...

I was the type that would never step on an ant.  I still won’t.  I rescue any critter that flies or crawls in to my house, and attempt to save neighborhood animals I find in need.  As a child, fishing with my parents always led to me whining, “Ohhhhhh… poor fishie!”  And rescue...
