http://www.elegge.com Weblog Thu, 26 Feb 2009 21:23:11 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en It's probably time to call the looney bin patrol.  I think I've gone over the edge. My commute, as much as I love it for the fact that it gets me to work, wears on me by the time Thursday or Friday roll around.  And the darn traffic, I could live ... http://www.elegge.com/laughing-at-myself-yet-again The day to day news makes all of antsy about spending money.  At least for me.  If I had a matress to put money under, I'd do it. In point of fact, I don't think that is especially advisable even if you have a burgular alarm, but you get my drift. With ... http://www.elegge.com/belt-tightening-around-a-robust-gut-haha My wife, most of you know her, has much of life figured out. What I like about her is how level-headed she is and without pretension.  She tells it like it is. However, all this strikes a little close to home when she starts making observations about boys and their toys.  OK, ... http://www.elegge.com/the-wife-has-it-all-figured-out My friends are the best.  That's lucky for us. Can you imagine if you did not have a peer group to rely on. Much the same, my daily drive to work gives me an opportunity to have a sincere love for that which brings me to and from the place where I ... http://www.elegge.com/friends-you-can-rely-on-are-essential I like thinking about what to write, but then when I come to do it, I forget what it is I want to say.  Not much happening here, so what's new with you? I struggle to come up with uplifting news these days, when all around me negativity seems to prevail.  ... http://www.elegge.com/not-much-to-say Although I've heard the quote often about it being the worst of times, every time I read the newspaper it seems to be getting worse. I really like reading economyguy.com, except for the fact that his news is so dismal (not his fault-- that's what's happening). Of course it's true that the ... http://www.elegge.com/waiting-for-some-good-news-about-the-economy I sure never thought the technology would exist that I could be blogging. Kind of surprising, really. A few years ago it was thousands and thousands of dollars for a website, and there are some idiots still paying that much from what I read.  This is good that it has given a ... http://www.elegge.com/ordinary-guy-becomes-blogster Most of us live economically in a house of cards. One lost pay check or one lost job and the whole thing could come tumbling down. That's why I'm so obsessed with keeping my car running. It's only prudent. Humans rely on blood to function and live. Without it, we would all turn ... http://www.elegge.com/paycheck-to-paycheck Hardly any of us still alive were soldiers in WW 2. But still, because of our parents, it left an impression on us, albeit second-hand. While I was not yet old enough to fight in World War II, I was born at a time when bombs were still falling in different places ... http://www.elegge.com/age-of-worry Just hoping this will be of interest to readers. I like to write about lots of things, so will plan to do so. Like any ordinary relationship, car ownership requires much love, affection, and care. When I bought my car sometime ago, I knew right then and there that we would form ... http://www.elegge.com/tryin-to-get-by-in-tough-times
