If Life Hands You Lemons, Steal an Award


Allie gave me an award.

Of course, she really didn’t because she is totally irresponsible and would never think of giving me an award.

So I just took it.

You should too. But only if you get shit done.

Otherwise, she has another award that you should take.

My Weakness for Domain Names. It’sAllAbout.me


Montenegro is a new country, formed in 2006, declaring their independence from the former Yugoslavia.
Their entire domestic gross national product is wrapped up in the Top Level Domain extension .me

Most domain names end in .com or .net or .org…other countries have their own Top Level Domains.

  • Canada is  .ca
  • Ireland is .ie
  • Dominican Republic .do
  • Russia is .ru
  • American Samoa is .as
  • United Kingdom is .uk or .gb
  • Italy .it

CanadaCanada Ireland Dominican Republic  - Dominican Republic Russia United Kingdom American Samoa Italy? or in layman’s terms:

Caca, that is do-do, are you uck as it? (you think you can do better, give it a go, here’s the list)

(.ca .ie .do .ru .uk .as .it)

Oh that was so vacuous, even I don’t get it.

Yep, (yournamehere).com is no longer good enough. Or you can reserve (yournamehere).com for your serious self.
.me is all about the fun.

I have a weakness for domain names.  I now own fifteen. At one time or another I have owned:

  • DogsWithCones.com
  • AsianWomenHoldingThings.com
  • FourDaysOnly.com
  • SaleEndsSunday.com

(Those were all sold and now link to various spammy ad sites or are back up for sale.)

These domain names redirect back to this page:

  • GoingLikeSixty.net
  • GoingLike60.com
  • BabyBoomerGoingLikeSixty.com

And others are for other blogs including BBQandBourbon.com and a few others that I run covertly.

But my  recent acquisition is perhaps my best.

TheMVPis.me

MVP are the initials I use. My real full name initials would be MLVP, but my underwear monogrammer just goes nuts (pun!) trying to figure out which initial should be larger than the rest. It’s a burden I bear.

That’s pretty cool, right? Here’s what my bedroom monogram would be… except the V part doesn’t represent my middle name.

So now I am having great trouble concentrating on anything… I’m thinking of all the great domain names I should buy. This video is pretty close to how my mind is working.

Bite.me (it’s taken)

Be Careful When You Hire A Woman Who Hasn’t Worked in 20 Years

Nancy is a whiz on the keyboard. Actually faster in high school on the manual typewriter than she was the electric. We surmise it was because she kept hesitating when the electric would automatically return the carriage. I bet there were times her hand waved over the top of the electric typewriter having missed the carriage return handle that wasn’t there.

She could do 100+ words per minute with no errors.

She still can.

When she is deep into an email, there is a steady clickety-clickety-clickety as her fingers fly over the keyboard.

She’s gotten used to not having a carriage return.

I’ve Never Been Incognito, But I Think I Could Pull It Off.

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine.

Being incognito is not something that I have never strived to do. But now I think I could pull it off. I actually have had people tell me they didn’t recognize me since I’ve dropped a dwarf.

I love the show In Plain Sight. It’s about hiding bad guys from other bad guys. Going incognito.

Maybe I’ll rat out somebody and ask the Federal Marshals to put me in witness (witless) protection.

But then again, it would be cooler if I was Marshall Marshal (except this character’s last name is Mann.)

Especially  if your partner looks like Mary and says things like…

“I mean, everyone has had a relationship with a best friend or partner or co-worker that is really, really intimate but without that one section. Mary and Marshall are like a romantic couple without the sexual part.

The Look I Would Most Likely Get from Mary

BTW: Thurgood Marshall’s son was a Federal Marshall at one time! He actually was a Marshall Marshal.

I could get lost In Plain Site because of the weight loss and my new Fitovers.

This is me

When I go Incognito, I will certainly have to have the qwerty flip SANYO Incognito™ from Boost Mobile with the $50 Monthly Unlimited Plan.

Since there is no contract, I would not have to give them my real name. And the nationwide coverage for unlimited use would be invaluable.

As I skulk around incognito, I will need the features like 2MP camera with VGA camcorder, music and video player, enhanced web browsing. With EVDO capabilities and a full QWERTY keyboard, I could make new friends on Facebook  and send them pictures of my new incognito lifestyle within seconds.  OR… use Multi-Media messaging (Picture & Video), my Stereo Bluetooth® and GPS.

And, they tell me (so I can collect $$$) SANYO Incognito™ pairs perfectly with the Boost Mobile $50 Monthly Unlimited plan which offers unlimited talk, text & web with no contract.

Since I was able to collect on the Tony’s Pizza deal, I have $15 toward getting the first month’s unlimited plan.  But if I go incognito, I will have to be sure to read the fine print. Which I didn’t do for these sponsored posts. In order to “cash out” I need to have $50 bucks in my account.

Imagine that! $50 to cash out and $50 for the first month, no-contract, Boost Mobile Sanyo Incognito gadget.

I must mention the following things:
- Price point: $129.99 (excluding taxes) with free shipping when purchased through the required link. SANYO Incognito
- Model Number: SANYO Incognito™ SCP6760
- Unlimited Plan: $50 Monthly Unlimited, no contract required

Whew, going incognito with an Incognito sure has a lot of fine points.

But Mary will be worth it.
