1981 Minneapolis skyline

This is the Minneapolis skyline 30 years ago, just a few buildings smaller.

Good graffiti

I'm with the blue guy.

Office Space desktop background

If you haven't seen Office Space, this won't mean anything to you. If you have, you know why this is my desktop background.

This image comes to you in honor of Earth Day, which was 2 days ago.

No photos on blogs...

Stupid can be funny.

A confused license plate

I wonder if this is worth as much on eBay as those misprinted baseball cards.

Why people don't read your blog

There's so much truth in this cartoon. Seriously, bloggers (and tweeters and facebookers), nobody - not even our friends - owes us their time.

Protecting the TV

Thankfully we don't have a TV on our main level, but if we did I'm pretty sure it would look like this.

Oh, and it's scary to me how closely these kids resemble mine. If I didn't know any better I'd think they were mine.

Aaron Rodgers photobomb

Apparently Aaron Rodgers likes to sneak into pictures of his team's captains. You can find 3 years of pictures like this here.

This must be on Charlie Sheen's car.

The secret to replacing the TP

Jamie sent this to me a month and a half ago. She knew I'd want to post it here for the rest of you to see.

(Click the image to enlarge it or scroll below to read the text in the picture.)


Want to know the secret to replacing the TP?
When the paper is gone, tear off the cardboard tube, revealing the hidden spring. Pull spring back, slide on another roll, and reinsert.
Congratulations! Now you too know the secret of the silly "anti-theft" TP holders. If we thought you wanted to steal the paper, we wouldn't put extras on top of each tank! Happy roll replacing!

Given the choice, which path would you choose?

I have a cousin who talks about giving her children choices that aren't really choices because it makes them feel like they still get to make the decision. For example, "Do you want to go to bed now or in 5 minutes?" Or even better, "Do you want Dad or Mom to take you to bed?" The result in both of these scenarios is the same regardless of which choice the child makes but there are fewer fights or protests of "I don't want to!"

Well, this reminded me of that cousin. (Sorry Keelie! Trust me, happier things remind me of you too...)

I wrote and scheduled this post over a month ago. I'm writing now with our news of Kaylee Hope and there's a strange irony to this post. We feel that so many of our decisions are like this. Regardless of which choice we make with our little girl, the end result is painful.

How to confuse an idiot

Really, you can just replace "idiot" with "anyone."

How long will it take you to get here?

I've tried to be more conscious of giving accurate estimates for how long it will take me to get somewhere. We often use 5, 10, or 15 minute estimates and really have little intention of following through in that time frame.

I laughed for a few minutes when I saw this. The concept is hilarious.

The best elevator pad ever

I wonder what percentage of corporate America would have trouble figuring out which floor they'd need.
