Thoughts to think about

Forget love - I'd rather fall in chocolate! (Sandra J. Dykes)

Know Your Greeters

You know, the ones at Wal-Mart. They stand there for hours on end welcoming customers to their store; instead of just saying hello or giving them the finger, why not try to get to know them? Thoughts? Who is your favorite greeter?

Well

I have one...how 'bout you?

Happy Singers Awareness Day

Oh, the joy of Valentine's Day. Flowers at work, a nice romantic dinner with soft music to muffle the other diners. And the grand finale.... sharing a box of chocolates in the candle light with just the right music playing in the background to set the mood.

Take time today to remember the singers and musicians that make your love life possible.

What's your favorite love song.

Toe to toe: stairs vs coaches

Stairs are great. They get you to the top and give you great exercise.

Great coaches do the same.

Winner: Coaches: they are more inspiring.

Valentine candy of the day: Big Hershey Kiss

Give your special someone a big kiss for Valentine's Day. A definite step up from sugar hearts and lollipops.... this is chocolate! Not the real good chocolate, but chocolate none the less. (Never get Dollar Tree valentine chocolate. ICK!That stuff doesn't count as chocolate.)

At only three dollars a pop, you'll have plenty left over for a nice card or some flowers. Or both.

Viruses

There are all kinds, from ones that make your computer sick to those in the form of videos that are seen everywhere. None are very much fun. What do you think?

Name that jingle

The un-cola

Thoughts to think about

There is nothing more galling to angry people than the coolness of those on whom they wish to vent their spleen. (Alexandre Dumas)

What do you do? Mason

What do you do when someone was going to do something, and it didn't happen and you can't get a hold of them?

Unimaginative Scanners

You know those at the store that just go 'Beep' when the bored-out-of-their-mind clerks scan an item? Why can't they play multiple beeps, or maybe a catchy tune like this:

Stupid Hburgnews trick: Where is Mason?

Unfortunately hburgnews does not have a trick to find Mason. Attention Hburgnews! Please install a bat phone to Mason.

It's so drafty......

..in here between my ears.

Just waiting.....

......on Mason.

Mason SOS

I have emailed you. Things don't seem to be working right.

Valentine candy of the day: Nasty candy hearts

Nothing says I l0ve you like chalky sugar hearts that say B MINE or I LOVE U. OK so I lied. Lots of things say I love you much better, but these little boxes of pastel hearts are a Valentines Day staple. And the little boogers are cheap.

Do you like these little hearts? What's your favorite saying?

Pickles

I like the little sweat pickles. What kind do you like?

Stupid Hburgnews trick: Pictures

You can use Hburgnews to see pictures of Harrisonburg. Just scroll down a ways and look in the left sidebar.

A new gap...

...or, what people see when the plumber bends over. There are all kinds of gaps, even tooth gaps. Do you like gaps?

Name that jingle (part II)

"Meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meowwwwww"

The wonderful www: Darwin Awards

Why is it funny to hear the most stupid ways people die? I don't know. But it is.

Thoughts to think about

If it takes a lot of words to say what you have in mind, give it more thought. (Dennis Roth)

Toe to Toe: Kmart vs. Wal-Mart

Eh, who cares? Go wherever you want. Where do you shop?

What do you do?

Do you ever take a small sample of produce in the grocery store? You know..... pop in a grape when no one is looking?

Reference books

If you could have only one reference book which one would you pick and why?

How many licks

Have you ever licked a tootsie roll pop without biting it?

APB Where is Mason?

Anyone know if Mason of Hbblogs is ok? I've been trying to get in touch with him and so far no luck.

Name that jingle (part I)

"What do you want, good grammar or good taste?"

Yahooing and googleing not allowed.

toe to toe: kazoo vs slide whistle

Don't laugh. I want to learn a musical instrument. Any old person can learn piano or guitar, or even the saxophone. I want something different. Something to wow people at parties. Something I can carry around in my pocket. First my thoughts turned to the harmonica. But lot's of people can play those. Not unique enough. My two choice.... the kazoo or the slide whistle.

For those of you that don't think these are serious instruments.......

The slide whistle


The Kazoo


Winner: I'm thinking kazoo. What do you think

The wonderful www: Imagination^3

This is the coolest site ever. Really, even those of you here by accident are going to love this.

You get to draw and make shapes and stamp. That's not so novel, the thing that sets this site apart is that you can draw at the same time as a friend. You can make pictures together. Enter in your friend's email and when they accept you will see two crayons. You can even chat together. Probably would be best to decide on a time beforehand.

This would be a great team building exercise for work. ;) Go check it out.

Did you draw too much today?

Stupid Hburgnews trick: craigs list

If you are on hburgnews.com and you want to visit craigslist, but are too lazy to type out c r a i g s l i s t . c o m you can just click local links and choose the one marked craigslist. Takes you straight to the Harrisonburg listings.

How nice is that?

Bookmarks

Do you use them? What do you use?

Shower curtains

My shower curtain has ducks on it. And it sticks to me when I shower.

What does your shower curtain look like? How do you keep it from sticking to you?

Thoughts to think about (part VII)

Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. (Elbert Hubbard)

Toe to toe; sweatpants vs leggings

Good ol' comfy sweatpants. It just doesn't get any better than this..... if you're going for feel alone. Plenty of room, soft fuzzy inside, elastic waste, and oh so cozy. Stress melts away when you slip into your favorite set of sweats. I could live in these things, which brings us tot eh problem. YOU CAN'T WEAR THEM ANYWHERE! I mean ANYWHERE. Not even walmart. Unless you want to look like a total loser. No one looks good in sweatpants. They make you look like a toddler with dirty pjs on. You can only wear them at home when no one's around.

Ahhhhhh, but leggings..... you can wear those. Stretchy, so they feel pretty good. Better than jeans with a too tight wasteband. Plus most peple look semi-presentable in them if the shirt is long enough to cover your patootie.

Winner: Leggings (unless your a man or way overweight)

I'm floored!

Heads up to all of you out there thinking of getting new floor stuff. Don't get tiles or a roll of plastic stuff that even resembles tiles. Darling Wifey says mops don't work well at getting gunk out of the cracks.

What kind of floor do you have?

Things to think about(part VI)

Under capitalism man exploits man; under socialism the reverse is true. (Polish Proverb)

Stripes with Plaid

I think stripes go great with plaid. Especially if I'm wearing crocs. My favorite outfit is an orange and green striped shirt with white background, and purple and brown plaid shorts with small yellow lines through it. And my read crocs over black knee socks.

What's your favorite outfit?

Stupid Yahoo! Trick

Type something in the Search field, then press Enter. Voila! Yahoo is good enough to bring you a list of sites that match your query. Cool, huh? Do you Yahoo?

The wonderful www. : Rhyme Zone

If you want to make a rhyme;
But don't think you have the time.

Don't throw in the towel just yet;
Here's some advice you won't regret.

Off to Rhyme Zone you should go;
For all the rhymes you need to know.

Click "go get it" on that site;
Then your rhymes will be alright.



Will you write poetry
for me?

Stupid Hburgnews trick: what's going on?

Click on Hburg Happenings and you can see that hburgnews readers find exciting in Harrisonburg. Don't rely on this for all your entertainment needs. Not much going on.

What do you do for fun?

Celery

ICK! Unless it has ranch dip to jump in. Or you can stuff it full of cheese ball. It's good that way too.

Tell me about your celery experiences.

The end to stupid google tricks

Stupid google tricks will now be exclusively found on updatedallthetime, since it seems to upset Renee that we can also find stupid google tricks. Some people don't handle competition well and if this will make their lives a little brighter, we feel it's the friendly thing to do.

Do you like stupid tricks?

Toe to toe: duct tape vs scotch tape

Ummm really it's not even close.

Scotch tape is great for wrapping presents and fixing ripped book pages, but that's about it. It's kind of wimpy and weak. Anemic looking if you ask me.

Wow! But Duct Tape is like the He-man of tapes. Just pick up a roll and you know you're in for a treat. Fix your ducts, make a prom dress, hold your car together. I bet you could even rescue a drowning puppy with it. Only thing you can't do is fix those ripped pages.

Winner: Duct tape. And, yes, I have wrapped presents with it.

What do you do?

What do you do when a restaurant's bathroom is out of paper towels and doesn't have a hand dryer?

We're moving

I'm taking Josh's advice and moving to wordpress. Hopefully this will help with some problems we were having like not being able to display recent comments on the sidebar. I'm also hopeful that once hbblogs switches to our new address our comments will start appearing on the hbblogs site.

You can see our new home at www.updatedwaytoomuch.wordpress.com

Do you like the new look?
