When I first purchased a microwave oven, I was told to never cook eggs in them because the eggs would blow up.  And, having experienced that on one occasion, I became a believer.

But, recently, I ran across an article on how to cook eggs in a  microwave.  So, I decided to try it.

A 1/3 cup of water, add egg to water, cook for about 50 seconds, drain.  Perfectly poached egg.  Add to muffin with Canadian bacon, top with Hollandais and you have eggs Benedict.  Yum!!  Oh, I use instant Hollandais.

A children s indoor play center recently made the news when it was learned that the center had been rented out for a nude adult party.  And while the owner contends that the play center had been thoroughly sanitized after the party,  many parents were upset at the prospect of their children sharing the same slide with a bunch of adults in the buff.  Go figure.

My wireless PC mouse died recently so I went to Meijer (regional grocery chain) to buy a new one.  They had two different selections: red ones for $30 and black ones for$25.

When I compared the two, they were the exact same models.  The only difference was the color.  So, I bought the black one.

A 16 year old girl is being charged with producing and distributing child pornography.  Who is the victim?  Why she is.  It seems that she was caught taking pictures of her self and emailing them to others.  Or, as it is called, Sexting.

Fortunately, because she is under age, she won’t have to testify against her self.

Recently, a woman announced that she no longer buys toilet paper for her house.  Instead, she cuts up squares of fabric for use as toilet paper.  After the fabric is used, it is deposited in a special container, washed and then used again.  By doing this, she figures that she saves about $90 a year.

I suspect that she is the only one who uses the fabric wipes.  The rest of the family just use public restrooms instead.

Every year, my church puts on a wild game dinner for the men of the church.  And, the men are encouraged to bring their favorite wild game dishes to share with others.

Well, one of the dishes at this years dinner was Rocky Mountain Oysters.  Unfortunately, one of my friends took a helping of it with out knowing what it was.  And, as he was eating it, he commented that it was rather tough and didn’t taste at all like oysters.  That is when we explained to him what it was that he was really eating.

Upon learning the truth about what he was really eating, he got a real funny look on his face and proceeded to remove the “oyster”  from his mouth.  I suspect that next year, he will ask more questions about the food before he eats it.

Just when I thought that I had seen it all, I saw a girl wearing shorts and a parka.  But, I guess if you have great legs then you need to show them off.

I know it may not look like much but it is the solution to a problem that I have had for over 20 years.  While I have been able to remotely open my garage door for over 20 years, I have never been able to remotely turn on my outside lights.

If I wanted my outside lights to be on when I came home, I had to turn them on when I left the house.  Thus, they were on from the time that I left the house until I returned and shut them off.  This, of course, wasted electricity.  And, I always thought that it was neat to open my garage door from a distance and wished that I could do the same with my outside lights.

Well, with the installation of this magical little light switch (the one on the left with the dot) and an iPhone app., I can now turn on or shut off my outside lights from any where that I can get a WiFi connection.

Yes!!!!

My home WiFi system died.  I screwed around for several days before I determined the cause of the failure.  Ultimately, I knew that I had to replace my aged and dying WiFi router.

I remembered all of the pain and suffering that I had to endure for my old Linksys WiFi system and I dreaded a repeat of that horror.  But, I knew what had to be done and I knew that I had to get on with it.  And, since I had a long weekend ahead of me, I decided that this would give me several days of constant effort.

Having done my online research, I pretty much knew what I wanted to purchase.  But, while 3,000 Best Buy reviewers of this product absolutely loved it, there was that 30 that absolutely hated the product and returned it to Best Buys.

And, of the 30 that hated it, they all claimed that it was difficult to install and that they could not get it to work.  And, remembering my old Linksys installation days, I was some what apprehensive.  But, since 99% of the users successfully installed the products, I figured that I was smart enough to do the same.  Plus, I had a long weekend to complete the process.

Well, my fears were unfounded.  I had it up and running in less than an hour.  It was pretty much “plug and play”.  Awesome!!!  I love Netgear!!

The headlines read “Despite complaints from executed inmates…”.  (AOL news, Jan 27, 2014).  “Executed” implies that it has already taken place.  So, either they are complaining from the after life or the execution failed.
