My Church Lied To Me

You know, my church lied to me for many years? 

They said men had one less rib than women. Because of how God created Eve from Adam’s rib.

They’ve been telling me that for many years. And I believed that. How can I not believe them? It was my church.

As I got older, I realized that they’ve been lying to me. 

All religion is good and beautiful. Innocent blind faith will hurt no one as long as they preach love and care.

But don’t lie to them.

This feeling of resentment remains after 20-30 years.

Online Shopping – Geek Edition

A new power supply for my computer.

It was $151, which was a good deal. Power supplies of this quality easily go for $200.00. It’s a price of a cheap computer.

My computer is highly customized. It runs 6 hard drives and 2 monitors.

I worried that my current power supply was not strong enough.

I shall pick one day to take my computer apart and put this monster in.

Also, this power supply will keep my computer quieter. That alone will make this purchase worth it.

 

Costco Shopping – April 16, 2011

I like my new iPod Touch, but the picture quality is horrible. 

What you don’t see in the picture is Shoe Rack & Vitamins.

SPAM will probably last over 1 year.

I bought precooked Bacon. They are pretty good. I will buy them again. But, sometimes, I like my bacon extra greasy with plenty of fat.

Coupons saved $30.50. But I still spent $181.37.

I had a hot-dog and a half slice of pizza before shopping.

I had a good time.

Bad design on men’s underwear. Why ???

This had been my complaint for about 20 years.

It’s difficult to find underwear that looks “Normal”. I just want simple low-rise underwear that feels comfortable. I do not want my underwear to bother me. I wear my underwear inside out so the seams (stitching) will face outside. I also wear tank-tops inside out so the seams on my shoulders will face outside. If you think about it, really, why do they put seams inside the underwear?

I found this underwear at ROSS. They look lovely. That’s exactly what I like. But…

Look at the red circle. Do you see the extra seam that’s stitched in? Do you know how uncomfortable that is against men’s (ehem) skin?

They had absolutely no reason to put that extra stitch there. No reason at all. Is there?

Additionally, that area had an extra layer of material so it will be durable. In return, that will make that area extra-warm – stuffy with restricted air circulation.

This is truly an anti-male design. If you are a girl and worry about your boyfriend cheating on you? Buy these for your man. It will FIX him.

Can I please have some underwear with no extra stuff built-in? Thankfully, there is plenty of normal underwear out there. I just have to look for them harder – and pay more.

Hanes now makes underwear with no tags. I applause Hanes for that. I always cut the tags off as soon as I buy underwear & T-shirts.

GTE Phone Bill from 1999

There is a massive cleanup project going on at my apartment. My place was really messy. I will be cleaning my apartment for the next few weeks. After that, I shall keep my place clean forever. 

I shredded a lot of papers. Then I found this 11+ years old GTE phone bill. Whatever happened to GTE?

Anyway, this phone bill made me stop and think about my life 12 years ago. Life was simple back in 1999, except for the Y2K fiasco. I used to rent a room. I made a little money, but I had little worries. I used to drive a beat-up white convertible. My hair was even longer than now, and I used to wear a cowboy hat on top of it. 

1999 was the year I went back to school for a Computer degree. I was sick and tired of being poor. I enrolled myself in a super expensive private university and took out a loan. I wanted to make more money. I wanted to be rich. And, most of all, I wanted to own my own house to prove that I made it.

I still don’t own my own house. I have a one-bedroom apartment now.

I still have fun. I save some. I am still going for homeownership. We’re all having a tough time in this economy. But I try to look at the bright side.

(pic) Under My Bathroom Sink.

I missed 5 Costco Shopping blogs – because I didn’t buy anything fun.

I am totally out of Coffee. Costco didn’t have a Starbucks Coffee coupon for 5 months now. Next time I see the Starbucks Coffee coupon, I will buy 5 bags.

This is how under my bathroom sink looks like.

I use baby shampoo from 99 Cents Only Store. They are cheap and gentle.
