Jeromy Needs…

| February 19, 2009

Share Okay – this is really funny: Here’s how it works: Google “[your first name] needs” and share the first 10 results. That’s it: it is that simple. But be honest! Tag 5 or more people, including the person who tagged you, and pass it on… Here is what showed up for me: Jeromy needs [...]

Dear California Tax Franchise Board, Here’s My IOU

O Night Divine (or not)

Share I wanted to bless you with this beautiful rendition of one of my all time favorite Christmas songs, O Holy Night.

Train Derailment or UPS Covering For Ineptness?

| October 9, 2008

Share This is strangely conspicuous. I have been tracking my UPS Ground package—stuffed with Disney DVDs—from Spartanburg, SC, for a few days now and I suddenly saw an update saying that the train derailed!! (Google “Train Derailment” and you’ll see what those two words mean). I was like, OMG! How tragic!! How often does that [...]

Johnson and Johnson Gets Tough…

| August 15, 2008

Share LOL. We went the traditional mild-and-easy-route with our first two kids. With Scout, our newborn, I think a new approach might be in order. After months of research I found that Johnson and Johnson came up with the desired solution.  Scout, it’s time to step up and grow up… NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—After decades of coddling young [...]

Share A few weeks ago I wrote a post about Jesus’ admonition for us humans to not worry about the “weeds” growing in our midst. He told us to let them grow and to trust him with our “weeds”. Read it here. So what do I go and do? I pull a “weed” out of [...]

Daughter Painting With Ice Cream vs. Golden Retriever

ShareSo my daughter, Ashlyn, thought it would be fun to paint a pretty picture on our sliding glass door with her raspberry sherbet ice cream cone. Our Golden Retriever dog, Cheddar, thought it would be fun to use her “art” to broaden his rather limited culinary experience. I won’t tell you what my daughter does [...]

Don’t Drink and Blog

Share Hi, my name is Jeromy and I am a alcoblogaholic. I was sitting down late this afternoon to blog after painting the house all morning. It was hot. I had worked hard (hard to believe, I know). So I popped open a cold, crisp Newcastle Brown Ale. As I was blogging, something caught my [...]

| March 17, 2008

Share . . . is the number A Mending Shift’s hit count just reached! LOL…what’s that about? So here’s what I was thinking: since I still find myself in the land of the unemployed, if everyone who’s visited this blog sent $1.00 to my family . . . we’d be set! Any takers? Seriously though, [...]

Tony Jones’ Book Signing Goes Sour

Share Tony Jones’ first book signing took place at his local Barnes & Noble.
