n.e.i.t. because i’m contrary
Mar 4th
I know Thursdays are usually reserved for Too Much Information Thursdays hosted by LiLu. Â But today I just can’t think of a story for that would entertain you enough to actually write about, so I’m changing it up. Â No offense to LiLu, because she’s awesome and has Oprah-like power in the blagonets, and I’m sure I’ll be back with more TMIT’s at a later time.
Today, I am going to tell you a NEIT story. Â That’s right, a “Not Enough Information Thursday” story.
This story takes place when I was younger. Â My family was on a vacation to someplace. Â We had dinner More >

Cheers for Thursdays in which the blagonets reverberate with the sound of TMI broadcast around the world and preserved for future generations to discover and wonder at the mistakes made by their ancestors. Â Hip hip!
Back in college, one of the most important aspects for the first two years was of course who your roommate was. Â Some folks roomed with a friend from high school and prayed that their friend didn’t end up turning into their worst enemy due to an unfortunately fight involving who drank the last Fresca and didn’t get more or who slept with who’s boyfriend even though More >

Cheers for Thursdays in which the blagonets hum with the sound of TMI broadcast around the world and preserved for future generations to discover and wonder at the mistakes made by their ancestors. Â Hip hip!
In my junior year of college, my friends and I rented both floors of this large old house on campus. Â We had ten people living in this place, which basically turned it into…well you can probably imagine. Â I lived down on the first floor, which usually had the most people hanging out in it because we actually kept it clean (the upstairs was only safe for More >
i am a highly trained computer technician
Dec 17th
Every single day, I work with people who make mistakes on the computer because they just don’t know better. I have very little issue with this type of problem because nobody is born knowing everything about computers; it’s a learning process and hopefully the user won’t make the same mistake again next time. I’d say about 95% of the people I talk to have simple issues that they just haven’t learned how to fix yet, and thus are exempt from my scorn and ridicule.
I have a few exceptions to this rule:
1. The person who calls in three times a week More >
its not an accident if you do it on purpose

Since it seemed to go so well last week, I will share with you another TMI from Wife the Teacher. Seriously, she should just have an entire blog herself entitled “Disgusting Thing I Had to Touch Todayâ€. It would be epic, and nobody would want to read it, because it would make their soul sad.
On this particular day, Wife didn’t have her classroom aide with her (she has 27 four year olds, she’s the only teacher. Technically, she has a “full-time†aide, but the phrase “full-time†is up for debate.) She gets the kids to line up along the wall More >
is that dirt? no it’s not

I haven’t had a good one of these for awhile, but this one is short and sweet and got me to laugh. It actually comes from Wife, who for those who don’t know is a kindergarten teacher at a public school. On a daily basis, she has more TMI-type stories than I get in a month. On a somewhat related note, before you send your kids to school, actually make sure they’re potty trained. Seriously. The teachers thank you in advance.
On this particular day she’s out doing recess duty, and one of her kids comes running up.
“Teacher, look what I More >
worst part of the best time
Aug 26th
Ah yes TMI, we meet again. I wish better circumstances could bring us together, but yet we always seem to meet this way.
I’m going to keep this as short as possible. I don’t think you need me to fill in all the details of how this went down.
My last post was about how awesome my honeymoon was, and indeed it was as awesome, if not more so, than I described.
Our room was really, really nice; marble everything and a great view. As you can see in this picture of our four-post bed with the balcony in the background, they even made More >
big steps
Aug 5th
As part of TMI Thursday, I’m going to be sharing something that I haven’t yet talked about, with anyone actually. I generally don’t talk about this type of thing, because I can never find a good way to describe it, and then all my words just seem useless.
This Saturday, I’m getting married. That part you might know.
Before I asked Fiance to marry me, I called my grandma. My grandma married grandpa back during WWII, and they were married up until last year when he died. I told her I wanted to ask Fiance to marry me, and how did she More >
titanic mistake
Jul 30th
After being a fan of TMI Thursday for awhile, I figured it was my turn to bring something to the party. Nobody likes the guy who shows up and eats all the taco dip and doesn’t bring something along (taco dip is awesome, but the person who figured out the taco seasoning and cream cheese combination is freaking insane). So here goes, and hopefully this makes me less of a moocher.
I was the tender age of 16, and at the time I had a couple friends who worked at the local movie theatre. They were able to get us tickets More >
