Gone Fishin'

Colleen O'Quinn — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 14:15:58 +0000

I am not sure if you know this or not...but I am extremely talented. I am apparently the only person in my house who knows how to change a toilet paper roll or a roll of paper towels. I walked into the bathroom today, and there were three rolls of toil

Now That's Some Snow!

Tom Jordan — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 14:05:25 +0000

Colleen and I talked with my brother Mike on XL Country Tuesday morning. He called from Tulsa during the BEAST of a storm there. Almost TWO feet of snow fell around Tulsa. And for the first time in history, the state of Missouri shut down Interstate 70 between St. Louis and Kansas City due to a winter storm. The newspaper in Tulsa, Okla., canceled its print edition for the first time in more than a century. And in Chicago, public schools called a snow day for the first time in 12 years.

How Smart Are You? (QUIZ)

Colleen O'Quinn — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 23:04:11 +0000

Tom Jordan — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 16:00:16 +0000

I am still living in the world of 32″ regular tv. No big screen, no wide screen, no hdtv. Pretty darn good computer set up, but not a great tv set up. I look each time we go shopping, at The Walmart, Costco, Vans, wherever tv’s happen to be…I look, I dream, and think, should [...]

Do you just buy food when you go shopping for groceries? And what I'm talking about that you shouldn't buy are things like batteries, appliances, light bulbs, stuff like that.

If Fortune Cookies Were Only Real Fortunes

Tom Jordan — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 23:07:36 +0000

My wife Lori and I went to eat at THE WOK recently. We eat there often. Love the place. I do have one gripe about what folks call fortune cookies though.

Are we sitting on top of a super volcano?

Researchers now believe this caldera is a “Super Volcano” that erupts about every 600,000 years. And it’s overdue.
