To all those that have endured a week of receiving invites from LinkedIn in my name I would like to apologize.  I finally found where I could go in there and withdraw the invitations that were imposed on everyone.  One day last week I clicked on a link that asked me to add new contacts.  [...]

Feb 27, 2011 Posted Under: thunderstorm, weather

My favorite time of the year is Oklahoma’s storm season.  We have two storm seasons, one in the Spring, and the other in the Fall (Autumn).  Our Spring storm season usually lasts from March through June.  Not only is Spring the most amazing time to be in Oklahoma because of its beauty but also for [...]

As we go through life we reach milestones and that scream a new start.  We usually experience this every Spring as the snow melts, the weather warms up, and the time for Spring cleaning begins.  The time to fix the house or start fresh is usually a good thing.  This goes for more than just [...]

Devon Energy Center at 31 Stories

Feb 15, 2011 Posted Under: Devon Energy, Oklahoma City

I went out today to take advantage of the beautiful weather and take some pictures of the Devon Energy Center construction.  At this point, the building is 31 stories and 497 feet tall.  The actual height is debatable as my source was someone on OKCTalk.com.  I read a post where someone posted that the first [...]

Salesmen Following You Around

Feb 14, 2011 Posted Under: experience, opinion

I am often surprised when I am around other people and find out what appeals to them.  There are things that bother me so much that I cannot stand it while someone else desires it.  There is one experience in life that I can hardly bring myself to do and that is to shop at [...]

I have noticed something about Facebook that is really getting on my nerves.  At the request of someone I was asked to delete a few comments on Facebook and so I have.  After signing out and then signing back in, these deleted posts were back.  This prompted me to delete more comments and then I [...]

Nobel Prize is Useless

Feb 03, 2011 Posted Under: opinion, politics

You may remember back in the 1990’s when Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Perez and Yassir Arafat won the Nobel Peace (cough cough) Prize and people with common sense laughed.  It was outrageous that Mr. Arafat who had been known and listed on the terrorist list for years would win this prize.  Yassir Arafat did nothing to [...]

People from Sunny Climates

Feb 01, 2011 Posted Under: opinion, weather

I have noticed an irritating pattern.  Every time we get a storm of any kind we have to listen to people from California, Florida, Hawaii, etc telling us how they are walking to the store in the warm sun and how wonderful their weather is.  This is usually followed up with a question of how [...]
