After reading a story about people’s Amazon Echo devices laughing at them at random, I’m really glad I didn’t get one for my grandma. That would have scared the heck out of her, understandably! Seriously. Sometimes out of the blue, or in the middle of a conversation that has not included the word “Alexa”, or …

I Was On The News Talking About Fake Service Dogs
I didn’t realize it when I woke up yesterday, but I was going to be on the news by the end of the day. Don’t worry, it wasn’t for something scary or stupid. I guess an old friend from school ended up talking to a reporter about the problem of disservice dogs and how businesses …

Save Money, Live If The Ancient Cereal Doesn’t Kill You
I have an urge to go through every cupboard in our house all of a sudden, not to mention a simultaneous urge to maybe never shop at Walmart again. I can’t quite put my finger on why either of these things might be. A Lakewood family bought a box of Quaker 100% Natural Granola cereal …

Watt Gives You The Right To Talk To Me Like That
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTcRRaXV-fg I’m not really a soccer guy, but I am a big fan of silliness, which means I enjoyed this. Former Arsenal forward Sanchez Watt received the most bizarre red card of the season after a referee mistook the player saying his own name for dissent. Watt, playing for Hemel Hempstead in their National League …

La Luna Restaurant
Gill has a restaurant recommendation today. If you’re looking for somewhere to eat this weekend and you’re in the area, perhaps this is your place. If you’ve ever wanted to have delicious high end food with out the snobbery this is the perfect place. About three blocks from my house is La Luna Lebanese Restaurant. …
Your Money Making Strategy Is The Pits, Sir
A wee bit of free advice, if I may. If you owe $560,000 in back child support, have managed to evade capture for 20 some years and are considered by the American government to be that country’s most wanted deadbeat dad, maybe don’t try to defraud a restaurant. That is to say, be smarter than …

What Would You Do?
Gill has a story. I like to think that all of us, if we could and we had to, would have helped out. I know better, but I like to think that. A few months ago I had a throat infection, and needed to go to a local urgent care clinic. The doctor reminded me …
Women Of The World
Gill sent this in in recognition of today being International Women’s Day. We’ve come pretty far, but change is slow and we’ve still got a long way to go before things are truly equal. With today being International women’s day and the spotlight being on issues relating to women, I thought I would share some …
An Updated Ironic
Finally, somebody got Alanis Morissette to admit that nothing about Ironic is. Well, unless we consider that the fact that there is no irony to be found is perhaps itself the irony. But anyway, while James Corden was at it, he also got her to update the song to reflect some of the issues facing …
Something To Think About
And now, Gill with a giant pile of completely random facts. Looking out the window and seeing rain doesn’t scare me, but it does make me a little angry when my next stop is outside. I wonder if there’s a name for *that*. Oh, and am I the only one who feels like I’m bleeding …
