Believe it or not there is a Mrs. Barely Hanging On who has her special day coming up soon and I was thinking of among a few things getting her a fancy gift basket. I was thinking there has to be a number of different kind of gift baskets for her birthday and I wasn't wrong. There is everything out there you can think of from the erotic to the exotic. In the end I am sure something involving chocolate will be the order of the day. Chocolate solves all problems in my household.

Then again if I buy something that gets me on the golf course and out of her hair, she might be as happy.

You know when a company launches a dual core cell phone called the LG Optimus 2X that there is no time for those that move slow.  fine people in London for walking too slow. It's a busy street and there is just no time for those that are going to slow others down. I love the look on peoples faces as they are handed their fines.

How does 134 pages on Comicon hotness strike you? Killed the good part of an hour for me. Let me know which one you liked the best. I was tied between the zombies and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

I have nothing against playground equipment. I have fond memories as a kid going down the park with the rest of the kids in the neighbourhood to run around like a maniac on the commercial playground equipment. It was a sad day when the city pulled all of the swings and slides out of the park because they couldn't afford to maintain them anymore and the paint and glue sniffers moved in and called the park home.

I think about every time I look out my back window and gaze upon the backyard of my redneck neighbour that runs her illegal day care from her home. She has all sorts of deteriorating playground equipment scattered all over her dirty backyard. It's kind of like Sanford and Son for kids.

Here is a little salute to playground equipment for the kiddios.

Wearing masks while committing a crime – it’s a pretty standard practice. But what happens when you don’t have access to your favorite Darth Vader mask? Grab your favorite piece of underwear and some paper clips, of course. Full Video Please Visit thecoffeebreaknews.com

So I am building an entertainment stand in my basement from steel studs and drywall. You would think that if we are close to a mission to Mars that we could come up with a better process than drywall, mud and the Sahara dust storm that ensues during the process. A small project and my house is covered in dust top to bottom. I should have invented in a Hepa vacuum before I started this project. I think I would have saved myself some grief. I figure by the end of the summer I will have things cleaned up and under control.

How often do you look at what you are doing and where you are in your life and think that you should have stayed in school. I should have stuck things out and looked at getting my bs degree in something I was interested in. Maybe things could have worked out differently, you just never know. Maybe things could have worked out for the worse but you never know. A little more education never really hurt anybody.

In the end, with a bs degree or not you still have to get up and work everyday. I might have been better off investing in lottery tickets.

Spring is upon us and summer is right around the corner. You know what that means. Pumping the old bank account clean with golf memberships, vacations, landscaping and outdoors expenses. I love how you just catch up after the Christmas holidays and bang you are hit again. This year I am after looking at better reward cards for my spending dollars.

If you are going to spend then you might as well be rewarded it. Right now I have a cash back card that barely pays anything decent. I really have to rack up the spending to get anything decent in return. I am going to look into something that gives back gift cards or swag for a reasonable amount of spending.

If I can find a decent card I would rather pull it out then use my debit card all the time. A debit card may not cost the merchant  like a credit card does but it doesn't do me any good either.
