Well THAT Sucked!

Part of the Top Hosting Center Series - Previous in series
Last Tuesday my web hosting company sent an email to notify me that on Friday they would be rebooting the server my sites reside on. As a result my sites would be unavailable for approximately 3 minutes at 9pm PST Friday evening. A minor irritant, but a frequently…
Maximizing Savings By Playing The Gift Card Market

Part of the Friday Frugality Series - Previous in series Next in series
I thought I’d start the first installment of Friday Frugality with a confession: I’m a shopaholic. More accurately I’m a spendaholic. I love to spend money. What I’m spending it on doesn’t matter nearly as much as that I’m spending it. I even love spending money on…
Shampoo On The Go?!? I Gotta Try This!
Posted on January 11, 2008 - Filed Under Health Care, Shopping | Leave a Comment
I may be losing my hair (okay, okay I am losing my hair), but that doesn’t mean I want it to look oily just because I may not have had time to shampoo it that day. What? There’s always time to shampoo? Maybe in your life, but not, necessarily in mine. I get up at 6am to take a 30 mile round…
Is Smorty Getting Desperate?
Posted on January 11, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Paid To Write | 4 Comments
Part of the Smorty Series - Previous in series
A couple days back I reported that Smorty was emailing me offers once again. Well, they emailed me two more offers today, despite my having quit and being told that I would be removed from the program for violating their (then unwritten) rules. In fact, there is still no requirement…
Clothing For My Angel from Heavenly Couture
Posted on January 11, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Shopping | 2 Comments
Okay, Z’s more devil than angel lately, but the title works much better this way
It’s only a month to Z’s birthday, so it’s time to start considering her gift. The last couple of years I’ve taken her clothes shopping for her birthday, because I know essentially nothing about contemporary clothing. I’ve been learning, though and think I may be…
How Things Get Done, or… The Kids Finally Clean Their Room
Posted on January 10, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood | Leave a Comment
X called me this afternoon as she needed me to babysit for a few hours. This was just the opportunity I was looking for. Z and her 8-year old brother G have not cleaned their room in months and X keeps telling me she can’t figure out how to get them to do so. They’ve had entire days devoted exclusively to cleaning…
Friday Frugality - A New Weekly Feature At Philaahzophy
Posted on January 10, 2008 - Filed Under Friday Frugality | 2 Comments
Part of the Friday Frugality Series - Next in series
Given the rousing success of my Bathroom Full Of Cash post back in November, I’ve decided to start my first weekly feature here at Philaahzophy: Friday Frugality. In doing so I will try to keep the following definition (from Wikipedia) in mind-
Frugality (also known as thrift or thriftiness), often confused with…
Dr. Ron Paul Disappoints In New Hamphire Primary
Posted on January 9, 2008 - Filed Under Vote 2008 | Leave a Comment
Well, it seems like Dr. Ron Paul came in a fairly solid 5th in the New Hampshire Republican Presidential Primary. I’ve got to admit I’m very disappointed. I didn’t necessarily expect him to win it, but only scoring 8% of the votes in the Live Free Or Die state does not bode well for his chances around the country.
New Hampshire…
