Tonight I completed the collection of State Park Quarters and polished off the collector’s book. If you didn’t know the US Mint ran a program called “America the Beautiful Quarters“, and there was a quarter design produced for each of the 50 National Parks, as well as one for each of the 6 US territories […]
Today I installed a totally new theme on my blog. I did something I’ve wanted to do for ages, was install a dark theme blog. Problem is that most new themes for WordPress don’t have plain blog themes. They’re all eCommerce this, or publishing that. The good ol fashioned blog format has kind of fallen […]
For the longest time I’ve had Google Adsense on this site. I figure if I can make a few bucks here and there, that’s fine. I create a lot of content here, but I also have been running Google ads on the site. Today I looked into that situation, and came to a conclusion […]
This is a short, admin type message. I’ve moved my blog. It’s been on joe.siegler.net for ages, but I went and registered one of the new domain name extensions for it. If you are seeing this, it is on its new home: https://joesiegler.blog. The content is all the same, just the site URL is different. […]
There was a time when you were five years old, and you woke up full of awesome. You knew you were awesome. You loved yourself. You thought you were beautiful, even with missing teeth and messy hair and mismatched socks inside your grubby sneakers. You loved your body, and the things it could do. You […]
For some reason, as I’ve gotten older, handy household tips like this have drawn my attention. I posted one myself about two months ago about using old candle wax as an air freshener. My wife also had a good one about mildly reducing heat by putting a tea kettle over an oven burner after you’ve […]
I like candles. Always have. I have bought them for ages, burned a virtual infinite number of them. Used to burn them at work too, until some moron I worked with left his burning after he left for the night, so nobody was allowed to burn candles at work. Grr.. Heck, during my unemployment period, […]
In doing my morning reading, I ran across a blog entry where someone who belonged to the Google Adsense program got a Google fridge for his high level of activity. He’s giving it away to someone who writes an entry that he likes the most about what they would do with the Google Fridge. So […]
Normally I don’t get into political stuff, because it tends to just be combative – most people can’t discuss these things logically. I’m also not one to just pile on the President because of unpopular things. I thought Dubya made a pretty decent governor, but not a terribly great President. I was sent one of […]
As most who have looked for this info know, the 1-800 phone number for Amazon.com has been around for years and years. It’s existence is not listed in the Amazon help area, but if you googled for Amazon 800 number, you could find it. That number is 1-800-201-7575 I’ve called that for years, I almost […]
