Tricky Honda Pilot Window

“The laughter is payment enough for me.”  This was the response I got from the service tech at our local Honda dealership when I called him about an issue I was having with the auto-window-pusher-downer button that was not working on my 2005 Honda Pilot.
My issue started with my darling youngest one turning on the dome [...]

It’s A Hot Mess Right Now

I was so embarrassed today when a colleague asked me why he couldn’t find my e-mail address on my web site anywhere.  I wasn’t sure how to answer him until I remembered that I had removed it from my personal blog due to the spammers.  The spammers seemed to be picking up on my fully [...]

My E-Mail To Roy Blunt

Dear Congressman Blunt:
When we met with you in your office back in August, I had forgotten to e-mail you a photo of the group when you so graciously posed outside in the stifling heat with all of us from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation here in the Ozarks. Please find the photo attached.
When we met [...]

Get Off My Land You Crazy Kids!!

I know there is some wild Clint Eastwood movie out there with a line similar to the title of this post. For some reason it rings in my head as I recall the actor saying the line in the gruffest way possibly with his teeth clenched hard… I just can’t think of the name of [...]

Legit

<random rant>
I wasn’t sure how to title this post, and “Legit” is the best title I could come up with.
I recently came across a blog post on a real estate web site, after seeing it tweeted out by a well known real estate tweeter that I had a lot of respect for.  I’m not going [...]

I Hate The Word “Guru”

I am guilty of using it in the past, but I am starting to hate the word “guru”.  I know that hate is a strong word.  So maybe I should use the word detest, despise, abhor, pet peeve, loathe… nonetheless, I think you get the picture.
At first it was cliche or kitschy.  Now it is [...]

Diabetes Hits An All New Low

It was a perfect summer evening.  It was approaching 7 o’clock and the storm clouds were mounting in the background to brew up a nice little thunderstorm.  My husband and I were sitting on the front row of the bleachers in field number 2 of the Cooper Sports Complex.  My oldest son’s third grade baseball [...]

Thanking The Troll

Are SGF local bloggers haters and trolls or are they your mentor/adviser in an ally sort of way?  In my mind, bloggers should back other bloggers up, especially if they are a local area blogger, part of an association that would want to promote unity between other area bloggers. Before this post, I was thinking [...]

It’s Gettin’ Hot in Herrree

I debated about whether or not I should title this post “Recycled Summer Time Post.” It seems like I write about this every year, and maybe because every year I get the same dumb complaints from Tenants about their a/c units not working properly.  I’ll probably get dumb comments on this post like I [...]

Apparently Twitter Can Break It’s Own Rules

But it can’t return e-mails in a timely manner.
So, what’s a goin’ on there good ole Twitter support?  I have sent you an e-mail 48 hours ago and have got no response.
I’m frustrated with Twitter’s 100/hour API request limitations.  It’s sucking the life out of my beloved TweetDeck the moment I turn it on! Grr.  [...]
