Shows That You Just Can’t Stand To See Cancelled

Posted on November 25, 2011 by JMarsden| 1 Comment

I watch TV quite a bit with my wife.  Over the years we have noticed more and more how a show just doesn’t make it more than 1 or 2 seasons if they are lucky.  Some of the ones that we liked a lot make it even longer, but end up being killed off by the producers.

The TV show LOST was a show that kept us hanging continuously each week.  The very ending was far from what we thought.  I personally didn’t like the ending, but after that many seasons they had to put it to bed.

Another show that we loved was Vegas.  They did a good job with the show in keeping it fresh.  I never did find out why they cancelled that one.

The other one that I thought would have made it far was the Playboy Club.  This show should have been a homerun in my opinion because it had crime, and women in sexy bunny costumes.

My wife was upset with how Heroes was ended.  I never watched it, so I can’t put my two cents in.

What is your take on how TV has become?

I Am Enjoying Cooking At Times

Posted on November 24, 2011 by JMarsden| 1 Comment

My neighbor Bob has enabled me to want to cook.  I have always been willing to cook, but I have just never wanted to take the time to actually do it.  He is a hunter, and he brings me “Fresh Meat” from his hunting trips.  I have learned over the past few times different things that I can do to make a meal just a bit more interesting.

The past few times cooking I have been experimenting with using fruits, and berries as just a little bit of flavoring.  The next time I cook I am going to be putting a final test to my own personal recipe for Venison.  I have gotten to be almost perfect on how juicy, and tender I can cook the Venison already.  Now I want to come up with the ultimate flavoring.

I know I can get a lot of the ingredients that I use locally, but during certain times of the year I may have to go through www.berries.com to get the berries that I want because they aren’t available locally.

Have you ever tried to cook Venison?  How did it come out?

Black Friday Shopping Is Coming

Posted on November 12, 2011 by JMarsden| 1 Comment

Each year I dread what comes the day after Thanksgiving.  I have only gone out one time for Black Friday, and that was last year.  That trip was strictly a favor for someone because I had a truck that they needed to use.  With the holidays coming my wife is continually on the computer looking up Black Friday ads.  She also loves looking for sales.

She found one of the more popular Black Friday sites and started looking through the specials.  She always checks Target coupons on a regular basis.  She found one or two things that are the same price either way you purchase.

Some retailers just don’t realize that their specials are almost their everyday price.  Best Buy is doing a IPhone special.  $99 when you sign a new contract for 2 years.  Well… That is the same deal if I go there right now and purchase.

Here is my advice… Stop trying to rip everyone off, and just take care of the customers the right way.
