And now, here’s Gill with a word or three on ignorant dingisses. Do you have a pet peeve? Maybe your someone who hates having to stand in line, or having to sit beside a screaming child on the airplane. My pet peeve, or at least one of them, is ignorant people who make decent folk …

Wild Orchard Restaurant
Gill is back, and she comes bearing food recommendations! If you’ve ever wanted good Portuguese food, but simply can’t afford the flight, I have the place for you. Tuesday I went to this hidden gem while on a grocery shopping trip. Amidst a sea of sandwich and coffee shops this hole-in-the-wall provides a refreshing break …
You Need Good Passwords. Go Make Yourself Some
I got an email today about one of Carin’s old posts. You’d be amazed how often that happens, but that’s another post for another day. Anyway, this one was about a password security tester she linked to a few years back that would tell you how long it might take for somebody to crack your …

Hit By A Truck
Didn’t expect this one to go the way it did. A man is sitting at home alone when he hears a knock at the front door. He opens it to find two sheriff’s deputies standing there. Is there a problem,” he asks? One of the deputies asks if he is married. “I am,” he replies. …
Are You From Ireland?
I was in a pub last Saturday night, and after drinking a few I noticed two very robust-looking women at the bar. They both had pretty strong accents, so I asked, “Hey, are you two ladies from Ireland?” “It’s Wales, you idiot!”, One of them snapped back. I immediately apologized. “I’m sorry,” I said. “are …
What’s The Tartan?
Two Scotsmen, brothers Finlay and Jim Calder, were sitting in the pub discussing Jim’s big wedding day. “Aye, it’s going to be grand,” said Jim. “I’ve got everything organized already, the flowers, the church, the cars, the reception, the rings, the minister, even ma stag night.” Finlay smiled and nodded approvingly. “Heavens, I’ve even got …
Who Wants Some Facon?
And now, Brother Brad is here to tell you how to make vegan bacon in case that’s a thing you’d like to do for some reason. It seems that a Brainiac named Johan Lundstrom, in some basement lab somewhere has come up with something they’re calling vegan bacon If the very mention of the word …
Send Me Your…
Carin and I don’t generally send these sorts of texts to each other, but if we did, I imagine this is how it would end. A wife, being the romantic sort, sent her husband a text; “If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are …
Sheepdog
This showed up in my email this morning. It’s terrible. I liked it. I make no apologies. A sheepdog finishes herding all of the sheep into their pen and reports back to the farmer. “All 40 sheep accounted for, sir.” “But I only have 38 sheep,” replies the farmer. “I know,” says the dog, “but …
Jammin In Jamaica!
Gill just got back from a trip to Jamaica and has decided to tell us a bit about it. Maybe one day I’ll go south myself. I often have family and friends tell me that I really need to hit an island during the winter, but I’m not so sure. Not because I wouldn’t enjoy …
