"One nation under God" .....seems cool to me!

"One nation under God" is that not from the pledge of Allegiance?

I guess Home Depot wants to start this battle!

Check out how Home Depot fired an employee for wearing a button that stated "One nation under God"

Being a private business, Home Depot, has every right to tell their employees what to wear. This kid had been wearing the button for over a year.....

This probably was not the best time to be anti-American or anti-God. The tide is turning back to traditional values. There is a groundswell......

Home Depot got most of business when I was in the valley. Lowes is right next door. Lowes.....not that you have earned my business, but Home Depot....you lost it.

Chesterfield Penn Station Subs....cool

Try giving away your product.....That is what Penn Station Subs is doing in Chesterfield. They have been having "get a free sub" day for the past few months. Every couple of weeks or so....there are signs around the valley proclaiming the free sub.

A couple of things.....
As I blogged earlier..... Blog on Penn Station I love Penn Station Subs.

The owner must really have confidence in his product....he should, they're great.

They also have done the promotion right!

They are staffed properly, no long lines or long waits even though there is not a chair in the place that is available. The manager/owner is taking the orders....big smile and guess what? my favorite, calls everybody by name if he knows it. I have eaten there about 20 times over the past 12 months...Hey Pete! Makes ya feel good and puts you in a great mood. He now has his employees on board....the young guy who handed me my sandwich......Here ya go Pete....of course it's written on the receipt, but he took the time to read it and then thank me.

This guy knows how to run a business!

Great Sandwich, Great service....love the free stuff....but I go there anyway. I hope his promotion works.

The Faucet Saga......a month...not cool!

Spoke to the faucet people....they told me that I was still under warranty....cool....that I did not have to pay for the 20-30 dollars of parts....even cooler....I love free stuff.....BUT

The parts are on backorder and they will not be available for a month.

This is more an issue for Denise....no easily accessible kitchen faucet until Thanksgiving!

Reminds me of another Thanksgiving with the Granite idiots!

The Rant put into action.....cool

You may remember my rant regarding the B.C.E versus B.C.
Well I am finally actually doing more then just ranting. A friend that brought the issue to my attention called me last week to try to enlist me in helping her get a petition signed. I readily agreed and so we now have a petition circulating through the Rockwood School District.

Our Petition

Thanks to Mary for getting me off the soap box and into the action.

The Faucet saga starts.....not cool!

One of the gremlins broke the kitchen faucet. Of course it takes two days for me to swing into action. I can't believe that this faucet does not have one marking on it regarding it's manufacturer. I am sure that they do it on purpose so you cannot find them when the thing breaks. Well the handle falls off.... no a screw didn't just come loose. In fact it looks like a part may of taken a suicide trip down the faucet. The thing does not even come close to fitting back on.

So I first go to my trusty Internet to start to look around. I thought it was a Moen. I look through the website with no luck. I then think that going to Home Depot and Lowes would be a good idea. So I leave my warm house to trudge up to the valley to visit my favorite stores..

BTW...is there a reason why Home Depot built a store right next to Lowes?....I mean right next to the place...ridicoulus....that's for nother rant.

Sounds like a dumb idea right....the faucet is a few years old and they probably don't sell the same models right? right......BUTTTTT I see a Kohler display and think....hmmmm could be a Kohler. So my trip was not a waste. It turns out it's a Kohler product. I found it on their website. It says there is a lifetime warranty.....thus the start of the posting. I will be interested in how their company responds to my dilemma. I sent them an email this evening .....we will see.

I'm an idiot story.....cool!

It's been awhile since I have blogged on an "I'm an Idiot" story. Not that many instances have not happened over the past few months....ask Denise!

Let's start with a great recipe.......Shelby and I went to the Wildwood BBQ cookoff and had some really good stuff. We stole this recipe from The Iron Barely booth.

Take jalapeño peppers and cut them in half. Scrape out the seeds and the ridges. Remember to scrape out the ridges...this is where all the heat of the pepper is. Fill the halves with cream cheeses. Then take a third of a pieces of bacon and wrap it around the middle. Skewer the pepper through the bacon...4-5 peppers per skewer. Put these on the grill for 20 minutes.....

Cold beer and these peppers....can't get any better.

Oh yeah...the "I'm an idiot" part.....so I get these guys all prepared....with help from my idiot friend Brad.....We then fire up the grill...and wow it seems like the grill is really hot...hotter then usual. Wow it's really hot....Brad can you put these things on the grill my hands feel like they are burning....


No kidding you idiot!......the grill was not any hotter...my hands were burning from all the jalapeño juice....I learned that you need to wear gloves when you make this dish. I spent the next few hours soaking my paws in ice water.

Idiot!

Birthdays are cool!

This week has been a miserable week here in Missouri. The Cards lost....the Tigers lost...the Rams lost...the Blues lost...and it has been raining and cold all week.

One big bright spot was the gleam in Shelby's eyes when she got her new Fish. Yup....I broke down and allowed a pet....Kevin has joined our family under the best circumstances....Shelby's 14th birthday!

Yup...Shelby...shelb...the shelbster....mel....(Mel?) melby moore...shelby lou..Shelby Melby..this kid has more knicknames then any kid should ever have. She answers to them all with never a concern that a new one gets added, what seems to be everyday.

Happy Birthday....actually Shelby's bday was on Monday.....oh now don't go thinking I forgot....I was to busy making sure the princess was taken care of.

First things first....she hates the bus, so dad needs to take her in by car. Next up....she wants a subway sandwich delivered to her school for lunch ( this has now become a yearly tradition....do it once and you are committed!) Then it was on to Petsmart to adopt Kevin....

Then be home early that day to have dinner and give presents to the birthday girl. (Shelby had PSR and had to leave the house by 6:15.)

She deserves every bit of spoiling on her day!

as I always tell her

YOU'RE THE BEST!

Home is where the heart is..........: Have you called the school lately?

This came from my sisters blog....it gave me a laugh!

This is not even a participation trophy....not cool!

God Forbid we ever hurt our children's ego by telling them they came in second.....right? We are in the age of the participation trophy. Every parent that has children has these idiotic trophies in their house. The kids get one even when they don't win one game.

Well last night the Nobel Knuckleheads went a step further. They awarded President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize after serving less then a year as President.

Nominations took place just 2 weeks after he became President. This is just silliness.

It takes the award and puts it in the category below participation trophies. Now you don't even need to be part of the team.....just say you will be on the team and tell them what they want to hear!

BTW the award is actually selected by 5-6 people. 5-6 Europeans that love their new President....oops I mean our President.

Let's screw the old ponzi swcheme for the new one....not cool!

Wake up Baby Boomers......you have been filling the coffers of one of the greatest ponzi schemes for the past 30 years. Paying your taxes like good dubies.....in hope that social security and Medicare would be there when you needed it. The Government has been perpetrating the "Madoff" scheme and we all know that SS and Medicare are hurting financially.

So now what do we hear.......The new news is that the new big Obamacare spending bill will actually reduce the budget. That always works in my house....come on Denise, lets spend more and we will actually owe less.....idiots

So how can they tell you this.....read carefully sheep....they are now going to get there by tax increases and 400 billion cut out of MEDICARE. So let's further de-fund the ponzi scheme and take from the people who have paid into this nightmare plan for decades....and then lets give it to the uninsured. Redistribution baby....


Hope you all enjoy cat food.

Can CNN be any more Bias?....not cool

I am sure the Wolfster did not do a segment on Sarah Palin spoof on SNL. They probably did not "fact" check the whole "I can see Alaska from my front porch thing"....or the thousands of times George W was the butt of the jokes....but the first time SNL goes out on the "I don't fully back Obama limb"....then here comes CNN to make sure we all know that SNL is just comedy.

What idiots.

SNL.......this was funny....as was the Sara Palin and George Bush stuff. Keep true to your heritage.
