He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from opposition; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach himself. »» Thomas Paine

First Live Auction Experience

Posted on January 1, 2008 - Filed Under Fatherhood, eBay | Leave a Comment

A few week’s back I shared Z’s first experience as an eBay seller. Well, today, she and I headed to a real life auction to experience the tradition first hand. I had received a flyer from Somerset Auctions a few days earlier announcing that they would be holding a New Year’s Day auction a mere block from my house. It seemed too good an opportunity to pass up.

Z and I arrived a few minutes before the preview period was to…

Cancelling The Christmas Trip

Posted on December 17, 2007 - Filed Under Fatherhood, Road Trippin', Travel | Leave a Comment

It took me six months to plan it, three months to pay for it and less than a week to cancel it entirely, losing about $650 in the process. Here was the itinerary:

  1. 12/26 - Early morning pickup of Z, heading up to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo for a day of wild rides and coaster fun followed by an evening of watching Z ooh and ahh over the Holiday in the Park decor and the World’s Largest Christmas Tree. The…

Karma Strikes (Or Is That Carma?)

Posted on December 14, 2007 - Filed Under Aahz, Personal Finance | Leave a Comment

About three weeks ago the brakes on my ‘89 Ford Bronco (affectionately named Rover) started making noises to let me know they needed some work. I’ve had other noisy brakes in the past and figured I could make it to payday, which is the 19th - next Wednesday. I was wrong :sad:

This morning while running the kids to school the brakes started grabbing and pulling my off course. I returned home convinced that I’d need to take it in to…

All This Work Finally Pays Off

Posted on December 10, 2007 - Filed Under Personal Finance | Leave a Comment

For the last few months I’ve been billing around 550 hours per month at my day job. As a in-home caregiver I don’t get overtime pay, nor am I limited to a 40 hour work week. I can (and occasionally do) work a full 24 hours in a single day. And yet, I’ve still found myself seeking Unsecured Personal Loans each and every month. Despite the bad taste my blogging about my personal experiences with Bad Credit Loans has left in some…

Sunday, 5:15am - beep, Beep, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP WHACK!

5:24am - beep, Beep, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP WHACK!

5:33am - beep, Beep, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP WHACK!

I finally crawled out of bed, splashed some water on my face, and headed off for my solo day at Six Flags Magic Mountain. I had to get up early because it’s a fairly long drive from Morgan Hill (just South of San Francisco) to Valencia (just North of Los Angeles),…
