Talk about having to eat a "$#!+ Sandwich". H ave you seen the commercials for Nutella or am I just imagining this horrid looking "spread"?   I may hear from some people who have actually consumed this product and claim to like it (-liars).  Because, I do know some visually impaired people. Seriously, is this a joke?  Have networks been duped into some April Fool's type joke where they are running old Saturday Night Live commercial spoofs? Not sure where to even start with this one...

I seem to recall Bill Clinton doing PRETTY well. P eople don't like to talk about it much, but discrimination of musical instruments is still alive and well in this country. For millions of us that played in the school band while growing up, musical instrument discrimination was an awful reality. Myself, I chose, err...was talked into and it was then strongly suggested that I play the trombone. The trombone. Need I say more? The trombone is like in the top 5 of most fail safe birth...

Personalized license plates are all the rage.  People tell other drivers about themselves or what they are into by their personalized license plates. Sometimes, people make questionable decisions when choosing a vanity or personalized license plate. This, is one of the times. Read Full Story

Chipotle. Enough. No more freaking chipotle please. And besides, everyone pronounces it "chipolte" anyway. Angus Beef. This is not new. It's been around as long as beef itself. You didn't invent this type of meat and you only recently decided to start selling it instead of the synthetic fat patties you've been dealing for decades. 360. Quit adding 360 to the end of things. It's annoying, tiresome, and completely unoriginal. Balloon boy. It's been a while since my last post, sorry, but... Read Full Story

...we have    little Noah who is 6 H ere we have the same small midwestertn town's gas station from MMeM Vol. 5 Issue 14 . Wonderful! More well wishes for happy birthdays to local friends and family. Let's see, we have little Noah who is 6 and Emily who doesn't have her age posted.  Maybe she's an adult who doesn't like her age being advertised!  The gas station must honor such sensitivities like that.  Yep, good ole midwestern charm! Do we dare check out the other side... Read Full Story

...road signs don't get updated very often... H ave you ever noticed how dated some of our nation's road signs are? I suppose there are a couple of reasons for this to be the case. First, it costs money to produce road signs, and as we all know, all of our governments are broke. The other reason that road signs don't get updated very often is probably due to the recognition factor. Obviously, you wouldn't want to suddenly come out with a new sign for a crosswalk and not have people recognize... Read Full Story

...heard rumors or more likely urban legends... Y ou know, I've heard stories about today's topic. Apparently, there are people who actually put money INTO an ATM? Can you believe that? Who does this? Certainly, not me. And, it's not because I prefer to make deposits the old fashioned way ( NOTE: Many jokes were passed on here ), rather I don't have any extra income that is not already in the bank. I use my local bank's ATM all the time. I am constantly making myself more poor by withdrawing... Read Full Story

Well look at that, Elijah is turning 30! S mall towns in the Midwest are warm and friendly places. They are the kind of towns where everyone knows everyone else. Generally, people look out for each other and wish only the best for each other. Even local businesses get in on the act of wishing others well. I remember the grain elevator near my house used to always put area children's names on their lighted sign announcing and wishing them a happy birthday. Just the other day, I drove past this...
