THE TIMEKEEPER CHRONICLES

This machine is the next best creation (other than FREON). If it weren't for this coffee maker, I'd be dead. Really. It's like having a Starbucks at home. It's a therapeutic life line. This is a Keurig - it makes one cup at time. And you can even get all kinds of flavors. My favs are the Timothy's Kona and the new Jet Fuel! OH YEAH!!! That's what I'm talkin' about. Anyone that works shift work, THIS THING IS A MUST.

As you can see by the pictures, I'm just getting my first cup after a week long on nights, and I'm totally out of it. LOL

Ok dang it. Micheal Jackson is a complete twisted whack. But you have to admit, there were some pretty cool tunes come from that dude back in the 70s and 80s (I guess back the the Jacksons were "normal"). And of course with Halloween here, who can't not listen to 'Thriller", huh. (Yeah, your going to sit here and listen to the whole thing, aren't you.) Turn up your speakers, click "play", and....enjoy. MMUUAAAAHHHHAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

Dad wondering what that little 'clicker thingy' on the keys does...
Mom is obviously very happy about her new ride.


Gas prices going over 3 bucks. Four hurricanes cross in one spot all within a 6 week period. The Bucs winning a Super Bowl. Mom getting a new car.

These are all things that no one could ever imagine could happen. But, they did. This one was really amazing. Here's mom's new(er)car, A 2007 Ford FiveHundred. I have to say it's a very nice ride indeed. Now, if Dad could put some mud flaps on it, maybe scrape the paint off the hood and roof, and maybe even see if he could get side swiped by a dump truck so that the whole passenger's side is caved in a foot or so, and so that the doors won't open, then that would be just like home. Just like old times, huh Pa? LOL

Here is one funny clip. A bit PG13 (anything with Eddie Murphy in it is minimum PG13, most of time much worse), but freakin' hilarious. It's from "The Nutty Professor", and the clip is called "Dinner With The Klumps". Enjoy!



(FYI - this movie clip - and future clips - are from my own collection of DVD's, not downloaded - unless noted otherwise :-) )

There haven't really been that many dvd's we've been able to watch lately....seems like there's just no time. But, every now and then we get to watch some, and I like to share what we watched. The recent flick was 1408. Written by Stephen King, in which we all know is just..well, he's just a whack job. And we all love whacked out stuff. A super flick just in time for Halloween. A very good creepy mess-with-your-mind type of movie...definitely liked it. We highly recommend.

Here's the BLOCKBUSTER.COM review...

Full Synopsis:

A writer renowned for debunking infamous paranormal events is confronted by a force that he cannot explain upon checking into room 1408 of the notoriously haunted Dolphin Hotel. Mike Enslin (John Cusack) is an author who specializes in horror, but who only believes in what he can see with his eyes and touch with his hands. Having constructed an entire career on his ability to dispel superstitious "haunted house" rumors, Mike is convinced that the afterlife is a manmade construct designed to offer false comfort to the weak minded. Mike's latest project is a book entitled "Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms," and it seems that in room 1408 of the Dolphin Hotel, this skeptical scribe may finally find proof of the supernatural. Implored by the hotel manager (Samuel L. Jackson) not to enter room 1408, Mike defiantly procures the key and prepares to dispel yet another spectral sham. Now, as is the case with many of life's most profound epiphanies, the writer who thought he knew it all is caught entirely off guard at the precise moment he least expected it. Subsequently faced with undeniable proof of an afterlife, Mike may have a best-seller on his hands if he can simply survive until sunrise. Mary McCormack and Jasmine Jessica Anthony co-star in director Mikael Håfström's (Derailed) adaptation of an original short story by horror icon Stephen King. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Kudos to the guy who put this on a billboard...

Don't Buy Gas from the Ass
Anti-Chavez/Citgo billboard causing a stir. Once you spot the sign at Interstate 65 and County Road 287, it's hard to look away. Mickey Donaldson says he's never seen anything like it. "We just don't see ASS on the side of the road everywhere we go in America." Right now, you can find it on the side of the road in Bay Minette. Full Story from WKRG

Came across these the other day.....just too funny to miss posting :-) These folks are some old friends/co-workers from the old Westvaco day's. This was somewhere around 1995-ish. Susan and I took off for a short weekend away with NO KIDS to St. Augustine, and whada ya know... we ran into Tommy Dean, his wife BJ, and Pat Kane, and his wife Linda. From there it was a bit of a blur, but I remember it was a grand 'ol time LOL!

Just think what this little pile of pennies COULD turn into....

(a smaller pile of pennies lol)

In a recent walkathon benefit, Susan, Mik, and Katie went to show their support for Alyson and her family. The walk took place in Brandon at Fish Hawk Ranch, and was sponsored by the Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

This is an awesome organization and your support, I know, has a huge impact on families and children suffering from cancer. In this pic, Alyson's mom is next to Susan, and her brother Joey is the obvious tall fellow :-)

There's this new crispness in the air. Fall is here. (Not really, we're in Florida and it's freakin' 90 degrees still). But, somewhere...a bit farther north, the air is getting cooler. The leaves are changing. Football has already started, so you know it's close. Don't forget there are new episodes of House on tv, (and some new ones I really like, like Carpooling, and Cavemen... these flicks crack me up lol).

But how about LIGHTNING HOCKEY! Yep, they start tonight and looks like their going to be tough to beat. And, since I know you like 'em, you can click here for their 2007-2008 schedule, and maybe we can meet up at the Forum for a game or three this season. So, support your local hockey team, 'cause this is as close as we're going to get to fall. GO BOLTS!

Here we are taking our evening stroll through the neighborhood.


The other is a pic of Susan completely baffled walking through Home Depot - - she now has seen the light. lol

Though I couldn't see where I was going, I managed to take this pic so that if I ran into something, I would at least have a picture of it.

Evening sky.

Just me. The cool one.

Mrs. Myers had the wonderful pleasure of teaching both of my kids (sarcasm). I'm kidding of course. She has been a true blessing to my kids and to us as parents. She helped Mikayla during some pretty tough times and losing a teacher with such compassion for kids will be a true loss. But, on the bright side, she's off to retirement and last I heard she said she was going to let her hair down and her and Mr. Myers have some partying to do! Just try to behave. Thanks again Mrs. Myers!
