Quite Possibly the Best Gun Lesson EVER

I would bet that she had to change her underwear after this, and he paid dearly for this. The sad thing is, I think it was quite necessary in this case. I feel sorry for her being stupid enough to need this done to her. Poor dear. I laughed out loud at the office watching this.

Be warned, it’s that funny, especially if you respect guns.

Debt Free at Last

Discover CardGorgeous and I finally paid off the last of our debt, this one was originally mine from before we got married. She has done an amazing job dumping money from our accounts whenever we had a surplus into paying down our debt.

She has sacrificed shopping trips and vacation weekends for two years to get us to this point, not to mention telling me, “no!” almost every time I wanted to get something we didn’t really need.

New Search Engine – Cuil – Takes on Google

Their ultimate indexing goal is to index the entire Internet and provide relevant results.

The first thing you notice is that the results are given in a magazine-style 2- or 3-column format with thumbnails when available. I’m a bit ticked that none of my sites are indexed, but my competitors are, so I’m off to fix those now.
