Well my wife found a place online to buy a replacement lid for the casserole dish that I accidentally broke the other day. She ordered it and it came the very next day! That was really fast! I was surprised that she found a place to buy one! Isn’t the Internet wonderful!

I was surprised, however, by how much the durn thing cost! It cost about $20! For just a piece of tempered glass! I must be in the wrong business! But the thing fits perfect, and I’ll be sure to not make that mistake again!

When we first moved into this house, my wife started talking about hooking up a Home Security System.  She pointed out to me that the house had ADT stickers on all of the windows, and she took it to mean that the previous owner had a Security System installed, and that perhaps that meant that there were some issues in the area with burglaries.  So she said she would like to talk to the neighbors and see if any of them had any problems with burglaries or thefts.

Well, we’ve met the neighbors and so far everyone assures us that no one has had any problems with break-ins, so my wife has stopped talking about being afraid to live here.  But a couple of weeks ago I thought I saw some people snooping around and peering in the windows, so now I’m beginning to think maybe she’s not so crazy after all!  I don’t want to scare my wife, but I think maybe an alarm system is in the near future for us after all.

Well I learned a lesson today that I won’t soon forget. This evening I was helping my wife by cooking supper. It was one of our favorite dishes that she taught me how to cook; a simple chicken dish. It involves putting pieces of boneless chicken in a casserole dish, dumping in a couple of cans of cream soup and cooking it in the oven for a while. Well, I took the dish out of the oven when it was done and put the hot lid of the dish in the kitchen sink. Unfortunately, the faucet dripped one single drip of cold water onto the hot lid, and it exploded into a million pieces of glass! Boy was I surprised! And MAD too! Fortunately all the food was far enough away that no broken glass got into the food, but now I’m faced with the problem of buying a replacement lid for the casserole dish!

If you’ve been reading my blog from the beginning you’ll remember that I love cars, trucks, motorcycles, and machines in general.  You know, stuff like John Deere tractors, not stuff like ipods.  Don’t get me wrong, ipods have their place, but I like big noisy things that you can ride! 

My wife has suggested that since we haven’t lived here very long, and since I’ve just recently discovered the joys of the computer and the Internet (although I like working on my hot rod truck more) that I might benefit from joining the new social networking site that she has found.  She said that the members join up and find topics of common interest and share their thoughts, opinions, and experiences about the different topics.  She told me that they have an auto network that I might be able to use to find people that are interested in hot rods and chat with them over the networking site.

I read that Susan Boyle was joking when she quipped on “Britain’s Got Talent” that she had never been kissed.  And that there appears to be a huge public outcry that she admits that she was joking.  People are calling her a liar; quite upset over it.

Well, I have to say this about that.  Get over it people!  She was joking!  When I heard it say that, I immediately thought it was a  joke.  So if you feel foolish that you believed it, well then that’s your problem.  Joking about stuff like that happens all the time.  So, get over it people!  She’s still got a great voice!  And she deserves a great record contract.
