As you can tell by a look at my homepage, it has been a while since my last post. By brother-in-law posted a link to the annual pumpkin contest in October, but my last real post before that was September. I’m sorry for the inactivity, but I do have some good excuses:
1. In early [...]
Being a blog that focuses on personal finance, we talk a lot about money here. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that this blogger wants to make some money off of this blog. I’ve tried a few things before with very limited success (I’ve probably made enough to cover the costs of maintaining the site). [...]
Just an FYI…Due to a long overdue upgrade of the WordPress software that runs this blog (ok, it was so overdue that it was a re-install), you may notice small changes on the site. Most notably, my blogroll is now empty and will be reconstructed. I will be going through the old blogroll to determine what [...]
I posted earlier about my attendance at the Houston Tea Party, and here are some of the pictures I took from the event (except for the first that was taken by someone else).
An aerial view from an adjacent building in downtown Houston. I think that is definitely higher than the 2,000 the NY [...]
The wife and kids are out of town visiting family this week, so I decided it was time to let loose and get a little crazy. Yes, I and thousands of other rightwing extremists attended the Houston Tea Party protest yesterday!
Unless you are [...]
I don’t consider myself to be a particularly lucky person, at least when it comes to contests and drawings. Until yesterday, my biggest win ever had been a baseball cap that said “The Advocate’s Fantasy Football” in a random drawing when I was 14 (note: I am referring to the Baton Rouge daily newspaper, not the [...]
I posted last week about going on Twitter. While I’m new to this whole Twitter thing, I really like being able to post quick summaries of my posts and post other tidbits that may not justify their own blog posting themselves. You can follow me on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/CheapEncounters. My most recent “tweets” can also [...]
If you are observant, you may have noticed the new section on the right sidebar for Twitter updates. In case you just can’t get enough of the randomness of this blog, you can now get even more in small bites of 140 characters or less.

Sorry to everyone for the site issues today. I was making some changes to the nameservers associated with our domain (they are the settings that tell your computer where the pages for the site associated with our domain really are) to allow the old wordpress.com site to redirect to the new site. Unfortunately GoDaddy has [...]
Just a little note to frequent visitors to the site. I will be making a few changes to the format of the individual post pages of this site in the coming days. Specifically, the URLs for individual post will change from a format based on the post number to a format based on the date [...]
