Brads Blog

I have had this blog for some time now, and as I sit here at work I realize that I need to pay more attention to how the site is dispolayed in Internet Explorer. I use Firefox at home, and there are a lot of issues.

I think I will put my blog through a makeover. To start, I need to do something about the sidebar. I really don’t care myuch for the check marks for links.

I also need to do something with the footer links. I can probably do away with some of them or move them into the sidebar somewhere.

I am open to other suggestions from the readers. After all, it is you who reads this, you might as well give input!

I was listening to the American Top 40 last night on my way in to work. It has been a few years since I listened, and had fond memories of listening to Casey Kasem growing up.

Last night had a different feel to it. Not to sound rude or disrespectful, but he sounded kinda old. I had to wonder how old he really was.

My Google research told me quickly that he was 74. I wonder how many more years he’ll go on before retirement?!?!

I was reading on nektros – Cynicism in a Hot Dish where the writer talks about having ads on a blog, and it made me think for a minute. Why do I have ads on my blog?

It’s not as if I really rake in the $$ by serving up ads, and it does seem to be an inconvenience for the readers. So why have them?

Sure, I would like to say that I am blogging for the money, but in reality, if I break down the amount I get paid vs. the time I put into blogging, the hourly wage would be similar to that of a six year old Chinese sweat shop worker.

I am going to give this some real thought, and thanks to the post I read, might eliminate all ads altogether and simply blog because I like to.

I went to a local Petsmart with two of my children, and my two dogs to pick up some supplies. While we were there, there was this older guy with a huge, furry, white dog. The dog squatted down and started urinating on the floor. The man noticed this, then started walking with his dog.

While walking, the dog continued to do his business and created a flood on the floor that dragged on for nearly twenty feet. This guy knew of what was happening, yet he acted oblivious and continued out of the store.

I know that there are people like this out there, and I don’t know why it bothers me.

Some people!

Bhuvana Sundaramoorthy put together a list that put out a ton of questions that are commonly asked on job interviews.

If you’re looking for a job, you should look over it.

Organization will push for the existing and new incentives for users of alternative fuel cars. Hybrid vehicle owners have it pretty good: tax credits, unlimited access to car pool lanes and free parking in some places. Now they’ll have their own lobbying group in Washington.

I say it’s about time!

I found a notice in my mailbox today that Yahoo! is getting sued. Looks like one of those class action lawsuits that I’ll one day get a check for a dollar for.

You can read more about it on the website they have set up located at:

Found a blog today that has some funny cartoons on it, thought I’d share.

Clangnuts Cartoons

Earlier this week, we agreed to take in a dog that is a Shepard mix from someone who cannot keep her any longer. Her name is Roxie, and she is getting aong with our other dog, Potter just fine.

I think she is quite stressed out, because she is having accidents at night. We have had her for thre nights now, and have had this probelm each night.

I hope she comes out of this, because she is otherwise a very good dog!

I thought I’d give an update on P-Nut, since it’s been over a week now in his new cast.

He has come to grips with the fact that he has to wear this cast. He doesn’t seem to be in much pain anymore, and we have scaled his meds back to only at night tme, since he still has muscle spasms at night.

He had a followup appointment with the doctor last week, he said the bone is healing nicely.

Little P-nut is scheduled to have his cast removed on Sept 6th!
