Great - another kitchen appliance I won't use.

When I was twenty seven my sister bought me a fondue set for my birthday.   At the time I had only eaten fondue once at a Melting Pot chain restaurant.

Umm…   Thanks for the gift, Dana.

You don’t like it?

Cat Peeing – SOLVED

Why wouldn't I want to go outside when it's 12 degrees out?

I’ve previously discussed how my cat Pantaloons has an unfortunate habit of urinating outside her litter box.

More specifically she urinates on the rug just to the right of my bed.   This is where, when I spring out of bed in the morning (and yes, I spring), I step.   Now, thankfully she hasn’t ever done it in the middle of the night because I get up at least twice like an old man. READ MORE

Something Gross I Do

Bet you weren't expecting a photo of Dean Martin here. Just seemed appropriate. Not sure why.

I just had to call my ex-wife last night.

Hey, I have something so awful to share that you will lose whatever remaining shred of respect you still have for me.

You mean like gross?

Yes, I’m sitting here looking at something really gross.

Well, I can’t imagine it could be worse then all those times you ………………………………………………………... READ MORE
