2010 Miami Triathlon Report
It is once again that time of year – time for another triathlon report from TPMHTDM! I know my faithful readers have been waiting for a full report, and while I will attempt to blame external forces, the delay in the writeup for this race is mostly due to laziness. As always, you may also…

In which I was mocked for recycling
First off, I know Carolyn has mentioned this already, but Facebook really does seem to be killing my blog. I guess that’s the way things go – always something “newer” and “better”. Take email – to someone my age or even a bit younger, email is the way to go to communicate things. Someone older…

In which I invite the lady behind me in line at Staples to shut right up
So I took the kids out to the mall-ish area this evening to give their mom a break. And to look for coins of course!!! (6 quarters, 3 dimes, 1 nickel and 8 pennies – the coin cycle baby!). Also I wanted to stop by Staples. I had gotten a $10 off $10 coupon for…

Diane Tafuri, #1 Agent
So there is a billboard that is on my way home from work. It proclaims that Diane Tafuri of Sibcy Cline has been the #1 agent for 13 years. I thought that it said 13 straight years but her website says it was 2008 plus 1995-2006. So I might be mis-remembering the actual billboard. But…

The price of milk at UDF
Okay – gotta share this. I called up UDF this morning. They have an ongoing promotion where if you fill up with 8 gallons of gas, you get a gallon of milk for pretty cheap. But the price changes every month, so sometimes it’s a good deal and sometimes it’s not that great. So I…

License Plate
So… my license plate is broken. Well, the plate itself is not broken. But one of the screws / bolts that holds it to the car has come out, and so it hangs down. My car kind of looks like that. Well, minus the fact that my car hasn’t been completely smashed up. Oh, and…

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…

Take that corn, ya Home Depot
Here’s a nice email I just sent off to Home Depot. I am writing because I was extremely dissatisfied with the tool rental at my local home depot (Highland Ave in Pleasant Ridge / Cincinnati Ohio). I rented a 2 man power auger to dig some post holes on Wednesday night. I planned on using…

Lowe’s are idiots
Lowe’s is idiots? Lowe’s is an idiot? Hmmm… I must be grammatically sound before I go OFF on the annoyances of the past few days. On the one hand, the store’s name is Lowe’s. If you go to one singular store, it says Lowe’s, which I guess must be singular. But Lowe’s is an idiot…

Excuse me? No, excuse YOU!
So here’s something that annoys me and I thought I’d write something about it to see if this is widely shared, or if I’m just easily annoyed. Let me set the scene – 2 people are in a hallway talking to each other. Each one is on an opposite wall of the hallway, so between…
