The First In A Series local seller of wares

If you haven't jumped on the RSS bandwagon, you really need to investigate it. RSS is basically a way to subscribe to websites or your favorite blog. Instead of navigating the web using your traditional bookmarks, you read everything now through your RSS reader. There are regular clients that you install on your machine, but the most popular are the web based feed readers. I can't recommend Google Reader enough. This one tool has changed the way I interact with the 'Net. In a distant second place is bloglines. The key to the web feed reader, is the fact that you can use it on any machine with a internet connection. Work, home, kiosk, all your settings and "currently read" items will propagate accordingly.

So, you take your favorite websites, blogs, etc and add them to your reader. Anytime content is added to any of the sites you subscribe to, the "Items unread" amount will increase accordingly. Now you have all the places that you hit on the internet in one single location. I can't express how cool RSS is. It's something that you just have to try for your self. So, go check it out, you'll wonder how you got along with out it.

Now, Special Extra Bonus Content!

A really neat (and under-used, in my opinion) feature, is Google Readers "share" option. Each "article" in Google Reader has a row of options at the bottom. One of thes options is "Share". When you select this option, it will send that article to a prepared "Shared Items" page. A really slick looking webpage of your shared items. Cool! Below is my shared content, check it out, bet you will find at least SOMETHING you like.

"..for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself." Jessamyn West I have raised a retard. I swear to God, the things he says and thought processes that flow through his brain never cease to amaze me. Early on in this Blog, I promoted the idea of trying to give your kids more than you had. Don't force them to work during their early high school years and instead let them enjoy their summers unencumbered. As that dickhead Dr. Phil says, " how'd that work out for ya?" I have ended up with an unappreciative individual that is not even remotely ready for the real world. What a slap in the face that will be, standing on his own two feet. I know, I know, I reap what I sow, but that what blog is for isn't it, anonymous venting?? His outrageously expensive school, has a relatively relaxed cel phone policy. You can have you phone, and actually use it in between classes. Just don't use it during class. Kinna obvious don't you think? He come...

The One Where The Heart Is Torn Into Tiny Itsy Bitsy Pieces

  By local crushed blogger . This is nothing new. 26 years of marriage to the one. And I had to go screw it up. Am I sorry. I only regret it every other day of the year. So yeah.  After that happened, I told myself that I'm not going to put myself out there. Too old to play that game if you know what I mean. Funny what 4 years of living in a tiny one room studio apartment can do to you. Being alone sucks worse than being scared to play the game again. The game went surprisingly well. You could maybe say it went spectacularly. Before you know it, I find myself in a Relationship. She was younger than me and that brought a totally different dynamic. If the two of you agree it's not a problem, then who cares what others think right? We watched movies she had never seen. I listened to music I would have never given the time of day to. It went on despite the age difference. We were totally compatible. We talked all the time. I totally opened up to her. As the relationship progressed...
