irritations

From the Fish

There are certain restaurants in town that help you lose weight better than diet pills for weight loss. You hear about food-borne illness and you think that’s a bad case of salmonella or something that’s going to land you in the emergency room with an I.V. in your arm and a tube down your neck. [...]

Hot Rod City Disappoints

Recently, my family decided to patronize a theme restaurant in New Philadelphia, Ohio. It’s called Hot Rod City. It’s decorated with old cars, license plate and old fashioned gas pumps. If you go to their webpage you can see pictures of what it looks like inside (they don’t allow customers to take pictures or videos [...]

Very Tired

I read that coffee is a good appetite suppresant because of the caffeine (boosting your metabolism and what have you). Which is good because lately I’ve been drinking gallons of the stuff.

So every time he turns over– or flops over as is usually the case — I practically bounce out of bed. Over and over he flops, I bounce. And [...]

Tap, tap, BUZZ

You know, MP3 players come in really handy when you’re sitting somewhere and supposed to be listening but are bored straight to sleep (or something close to sleep). Stick an earbud in one side and then pull your hat down over your ears. Easy as pie.
One thing that irritates the you-know-what out of me, though, [...]
