Sweat the Small Stuff: Ranting about the little peeves in life
Posted in News on May 31st, 2007
This morning in my morning reading, I perused an article about Spain launching a legal bid for claim on the recent massive shipwreck booty found. The company, called Odyssey, is the first of its kind: a publicly traded treasure seeking outfit. What they are doing sounds much like the Dirk Pitt treasure finds [...]

On our recent trip we had to purchase a lot of gas, way too much gas! With gas price where they are, that was a painful part of our excursion. Buying all that gas did remind me of a personal pet peeve of mine, which is the 9/10ths of a penny in the [...]

This last week we, my wife and I, have been putting in a fair amount of time in the yard. She more than I, but I have put in whatever time I can. Because my wife is more of the enthusiast when it comes to the lawn and garden, I am simply providing grunt work [...]

Yesterday I spent several hours working in the yard. Along with mowing and edging the lawn, our slowly developing flower/shrub beds needed some much needed TLC. Though my lovely wife takes does the brunt of the work in this department, I try to chip in when I can to help keep the weeds [...]

Fortunately WGG hasn’t seen all that many people commenting that are simply vying for attention. In fact, I have taken the administrative liberty of not approving those that are obvious flames intent on riling up the regular users. Call [...]

I am writing this while traveling back from the ultra-theme park vacation for our family. We had a great time with plenty of fun had all around. Needless to say, I also came back with several rants as well.
This trip is the most commercial, materialistic vacation we have ever taken as a family. [...]
I am currently traveling to the merry land of Disney for a family vacation, so we are getting plenty of “quality” time in the car on the trip there. Quality of course is a loose term to describe the periodic calm between the kids grumpy phases from so many hours in the car. [...]

Having moved across the country just 2 years ago, we have encountered a few problems here and there with different state policies. Nothing major, until yesterday. We have a Jeep Wrangler that broke down and we were not driving it at all. It was sitting in our driveway and we had cancelled the insurance. My [...]

As a homeowner, I get tons of mail related to that. The most annoying of which is the refinance offers. There is big money in the refinance market, so these outfits work particularly hard to get your business. Aside from just the fact that tons of paper and resources are wasted on these marketing efforts, [...]

Yesterday’s topic on allergies got me thinking of another adult malady that I never expected, adult acne. Yes, we may have a little body complaint theme going here, but don’t read into it. I just go with the flow when the thoughts come to mind. My self esteem is intact.
Don’t you remember all the pain [...]
