Lesson 2: Get a Dry Erase Board
Dry erase boards are the greatest. They are very good for making to-do lists, remembering dates, playing hangman, and counting down. They are also good for brain storming sessions, and last minute reminders. I have two and I use them all the time.
I would reccommend staying away from the Foray brand however. Bad news. Lousy Markers.
Here is a quick list of DEB list uses:
1) Groceries
2) Concert Dates
3) Packing Lists
4) Threats
5) Bills
6) Sex
7) Birthday Gifts
8) Cd’s you want
9) People you hate
10) Things your cat will eat
I have decided to start publishing a how-to manual on life, based on the lessons I have learned.
Lesson 1: Keeping Cold Water Handy
It’s advisable to have two water pitchers in the fridge at all times. That way you have a better chance of not running out of cold water. If you plan it right, you should be able to run out of the first one, then refill it. Then you start using the second pitcher. By the time the second one is empty, the first one will be cold again. Enjoy!
Also, it is always best to refill both pitchers before you go to bed, just in case. BUT, it is important that you make sure you fill up a nice big glass of cold water (and one for your significant other, if applicable) before doing so. Otherwise you end up getting a half-cold glass of water.
I hope its not raining in the Canary Islands.
How’s Los Angeles?
When are you moving to Tejas?
My Granny passed away this morning, in peace. She was 96 years old. Here she is at her 90th birthday party. She’s the short one.
I was able to get out to Texas last week to see her in the hospital after she fell in the kitchen. We ate ice cream and watched football. We booed the Cowboys, thought that Tennessee looked pretty good, and agreed that Bum Phillips was quite a character. I’ll miss her.
So here’s the fantasy football post that no one is interested in. I mainly post this in the hope that Dave comes by to rate my team.
Ask Greg how he did….
Here are my fearless predictions for 2008-2009
AFC EAST – NEW ENGLAND – STILL GOOD, BUT LESS PHYSICAL OVERALL.
AFC NORTH – PITTSBURGH – I HATE PITTSBURGH.
AFC SOUTH – JACKSONVILLE – VERY PHYSICAL, INDY STARTS THEIR DESCENT.
AFC WEST – SAN DIEGO – LITTLE KNOWN FACT ABOUT THE CHARGERS: THEY HAVE NO SOUL.
AFC WILDCARD – INDY – MANNING HAS HIS WORST YEAR SINCE 2001
AFC WILDCARD – TENNESSEE – THE AFC SOUTH IS GOING TO BE AWESOME THIS YEAR.
NFC EAST – PHILADELPHIA EAGLES – DONOVAN AND ANDY PUT IT TOGETHER FOR ONE LAST YEAR OF BEING RELEVANT. THEN DONOVAN BREAKS DOWN IN WEEK 14.
NFC NORTH – DETROIT LIONS – IT HAS TO HAPPEN SOONER OR LATER.
NFC SOUTH – CAROLINA PANTHERS – HOW CAN I LOVE JOHN FOX SO MUCH WHEN HE COACHES FOR A DIVISION RIVAL. I ALSO LIKE THE WAY STEVE SMITH IS PUNCHING PEOPLE.
NFC WEST – ARIZONA – SEATTLE IS HELD TOGETHER BY SAP AND GUM. ARIZONA IS YOUNG AND SEXY. I GO WITH YOUNG AND SEXY OVER SAP AND GLUE. I JUST DO.
NFC WILDCARD – WASHINGTON REDSKINS – ONE OF THE MANY TEAMS THAT WILL BEAT UP ON DALLAS THIS YEAR
NFC WILDCARD – TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS – WITH BRETT FAVRE AT THE HELM!
SUPERBOWL: I DON’T LIKE ANY OF THE NFC TEAMS, SO I WILL JUST PICK JACKSONVILLE TO WIN UNOPPOSED.
