Personalized Balls

A personalized soccer ball to be exact. Put your name on there as well as a photo, like this one:
Pretty snazzy looking, isn't it? Imagine having your photo on one of these lovely soccer balls to show off to family and friends. You can look like a pro! And, when you are not handing it over to show it off it can sit in its own black acrylic display stand. How cool is that? You don't want your personalized soccer ball rolling around the house. Not into soccer? Not to worry. This website has other sports as well like football, volleyball, baseball, softball, basketball. Well, you get the picture. Heck they even have home plate plaques where you can put a team picture on or just one person (you). Really nice looking too. Everything on the site looks very professional and well done. They also offer a trophy catalog if you are in need of trophies for your sports team. Into sports? Go check out all the goodies there and order something personalized for you. Then show it off to everyone just like the pro that you are!

Olympics

Hot topic today is the start of the Olympics. I wish I could care but I do not. I liked the Olympics a little bit when I was a kid but the older I get the more I could care less how they go. Maybe it's because they have changed through the years. It used to be all amateurs but not now. Seems like, with the persistent encouragement of a certain country professional athletes are now allowed. So, I wonder, what's the point? Who cares who wins the medals now? Be more entertained watching the Special Olympics. Those people put their hearts and souls into the games and they don't care about anything but having fun. If they win they are excited. If they lose they are excited for the person that won. The Special Olympics athletes could really humble the regular Olympic athletes, both amateur and professional.

Second Chance

I like marriage. I was married for over twenty years with the first wife. We raised four wonderful boys and life was alright. After the kids moved away things changed for whatever reason and the marriage ended. I now have a second chance with a second wife and Life is good again. I always thought that wedding gifts were wedding gifts, same thing no matter how many times one got married and certainly the same for gifts for a second marriage. But, I guess, according to some website, I was in error. They have gifts that are not the typical wedding gift (toaster,bedding,kitchenware). They have fancy gifts like a picnic backpack (nice!) and a year of wishes candles. Like I said, not your typical wedding gifts. For those that imbibe they have personalized beer mugs and a whiskey lovers set, or how about a personalizable beer holster, that's a fancy gift right there.They have a wide selection of gift ideas so you are sure to find something that you can give to a happy couple hoping for success at love the second time around.

Peace And Quiet

It is quiet in the lobby tonight as I write this, just the way I like it. Gives me a chance to do other things, like write this blog :) Some players complain when the lobby is quiet. I don't know why that is, they should be coming in to play games not just shoot the breeze all the time. Guess you cannot please everyone.... I choose to please myself, I hope the lobby stays quiet and peaceful :)

Berries Are Nice

As my regular readers know already, my wife's birthday is coming soon. It's roughly three weeks away and I already have her birthday present safely hidden away from nosy female eyes. But, while searching around for other delightful items for her I came across the above pictured item along with a whole slew of other great creations. I also found, to my own delight, sharis berries promotional codes. I see nothing wrong with saving a little money while at the same time impressing my wife with such an unusual type of gift. I certainly would not tell her I saved money, she'd love me more that way thinking I spent way more than I did. If you love chocolate and berries or you know someone who does, go check out the creative delights on this website. Buy one for you and one for someone you love. Be sure to save some money though by using the promotional codes listed on the home page. Just don't tell anyone you are frugal.

Sunburn???

My computer set up is in my kitchen right beside a West facing window. This means that it is nice and cool early in the morning and hotter than Hell come late afternoons. One side of my body gets, as you can imagine, an enormous amount of sunshine on it. I have been rather crispy for a while now but haven't let it bother me as I would rather be on the computer. This afternoon I swiveled my chair to talk to my wife and daughter and the child lets out with an "Oh my God!" and grabs my arm like she just saw something horrific. She twists it around and tells her mother that I am sunburned lol I tell them both it is no big deal I have been burnt for a while now, yada, yada, yada. My daughter, who has read way too much BS about the sun and skin cancer goes into the other room, comes back in and grabs my arm and starts slathering lotion on it in spite of my constantly saying "ewww". I am not a lotion kind of guy lol We all did have a chuckle though over how the daughter does not ask me for permission to do this, she just grabs the arm and does it. Her excuse is that she knew if she asked for permission I would have said no. Got to love that young female logic lmao

Light Up A Cigar

The other night my wife and I were sitting at our computers in the kitchen when she started to complain about the smell of my cigarette. She kept saying it smelled like a cigar instead. I told her I hadn't noticed anything different and she got a tad grumpy, telling me a couple of times to "inhale". This made me laugh because I always inhale my cigarette smoke. Her complaining also made me think back to much younger days when I used to smoke cigars as well as cigarettes. Perhaps unfortunately for my poor lungs, I inhaled that smoke as well. I never did quite fathom the thought of smoking something that one would not inhale although I was often told by older cigar smokers not to inhale as it would damage my lungs. I have not smoked a cigar in a long time so I went looking for a place that might have discount cigars online. I would have to buy them online because I seriously doubt that my lovely wife will buy them at a store and they need to be cheap because of my low income. I did find such a place and I am amazed. To say this place has a wide selection would be an understatement at best. There are so many cigars and brands here I lost count of them all. It really has been a long time since I smoked cigars, they have lots of brands I never heard of. Makes me want to try them all! They have lots of choices as I said and the prices vary as well, from the inexpensive on up. They even have sampler boxes so you can try more than one brand, as well as humidors to keep your cigars fresh for you. Always a plus, nobody likes to smoke a stale cigar. ugh! Go, check the fine selection out for yourself. Order some cigars and when they arrive, kick back in your favorite chair and relax with a fine cigar.
