I am sure we all have had times when the photo didn't out as planned. Today the lighting just wasn't right.

After years of wondering why he didn't look like his siblings, a man asked his mother if he was adopted. "Yes, you were adopted, son" his mother said as she started to cry softly, "But it didn't work out, and they brought you back."

I've been busy voting and commenting on TBTS pics, it's been a full time job and I'm nowhere near done! I'm gonna take a break and come back to it a little later.

People notice the little things. I posted some pics today and received a pm from a lovely young lady who complimented me. What did she compliment me on? My cock? My ass? Some other physical feature? Nopers; she likes my socks!

This is how it works, the more low votes I get, the more pics I post. Sooner or later the low voter will get carpal tunnel syndrome.

Benjie wants me to send some home cooked food. I don't know how to do that in a way that will keep it fresh and warm so I am sending some cyber food. The tomato sauce is from my homegrown tomatoes and the bread is home made. The pasta is from a box and the beer is from a bottle. I have plenty, so if you would like some, come on over!

I am in the kitchen, hungry and having a beer. I just got the place cleaned up from lunch but now it's dinner time. The door bell rings and there is a woman handing me a sack filled with fresh warm food and the aroma is overwhelming.

Ahhh, the magic of food delivery. Just pick up the phone and let someone else do the cooking and bring it to you. Except sometimes it is not so perfect. Sometimes they get the order wrong, or the food is not prepared the way it should be, or the delivery is late. Anybody who has ordered out has experienced that. Well, yesterday was one of those times, but with a twist.

I like food, and as such, I often have a hard time deciding what to order. As a result, if a combination plate is offered, I often end up getting that. Well, yesterday was one of those times. I had a taste for Czech food. It's not your standard fast food fare or the usual pasta/pizza/chicken that the Italian delivery restuarant offers. It's a full meal; soup, meat, potato, vegitable and dessert. All at a very reasonable price. The restuarant doesn't delivery but there is a food delivery service that will go there and deliver it for you (the delivery service has an arrangement with more then a dozen restuarants). That is what I did yesterday, I called the delivery service and placed my order, roast pork and breaded tenderloin combination. I will have a nice dinner and lunch the next day from it.

About a half hour later the delivery service called and wanted directions to my house (I have been ordering from this service for 10 years and this is the first time the driver got lost). I gave directions and had a couple of sips of beer while I waited. Now I was pretty damn hungry. About 15 minutes later the doorbell rings and there is an angel handing me a big sack filled with food (anybody who brings me food is an angel). She is yapping away like there is no tomorrow. I make polite conversation with her but I want her to go because I want to eat! She leaves. The sack feels kinda heavy, like there is more in there than there should be. Maybe they gave me a bigger portion today. If the delivery woman hadn't distracted me with her yapping I would have checked the bag before she left.

Anyway, I bring the bag to the kitchen and start to remove the containers. Sure enough, the order is wrong, there is more in there than what I ordered. There are two soups and two desserts. I open up the first container and it is a roast pork dinner. I open up the second container and it is a breaded tenderloin dinner. I wonder, did the restuarant make a mistake and give the delivery service the wrong bag, or did she have 2 orders from this restuarant and she gave me the wrong bag? Since I was hungry I wasn't going to call and then wait for them to fix it. I dove in and enjoyed it. Now I have enough left for todays lunch and dinner. Ahh, I like it when the mistake favors me!

For those who rarely get to see snow, I am giving one more pic.

Just a couple more pics from yesterday's storm, I thought you might like a birds eye view. Although I only got about 4 inches, some areas got as much as 13. Earlier in the week it was warm and we had heavy rains, which flooded the back of my yard. As a result, I now have an ice skating rink back there. Anybody want to put on their skates and come over?

After a week a warm weather, then heavy rains, the snow came today. This was the first real snowstorm of the year. They were forcasting 6 to 12 inches but we only got about 4. It is a very wet and heavy snow, if it had been the fluffy stuff it probably would have been about 10 inches or so. I cleared my driveway, my elderly neighbor's driveway and the sidewalks on both sides of me. That's enough excersize for one day. Now it's lunch time, then I will soak in a hot tub and spend the rest of the day on the puter and in front of the tv.

The Sony Playstation 3 has hit the market and fights are breaking out between people waiting in line to buy them. People leaving the stores have been robbed at gunpoint and at least one person has been shot over it. I was just on ebay and saw one that just sold for $2900 (USD). I think the list price is only $500 or $600.

I remember the Beanie Baby craze, some ppl paid incredible prices, hundreds of dollars, for an item that retails for $6. Now you can't give those things away.
