    Olympic Queen Mattress

    Like any other freshly graduated college student, I bought a mattress right after leaving college. I bought one of the "clearance" higher end models from Homemakers and put it on the floor in my apartment as I spent too much on the mattress and couldn't afford a frame. Fast forward 15 years, a...

    Walk Behind Mower

    My cheap MTD Yard Man (bought 10 years ago) finally crapped out on me to the point of no self repair without buying a new transmission for $200. Looking to upgrade significantly, still walk behind, now that I'm older and have a better income. I'm looking hard at Toro, but also considering Honda...

    Estate Sale

    Moved my grandfather into an assisted living center a few weeks ago, and have been slowly cleaning his place to put it on the market. As I was removing a lot of his furniture, my sister-in-law stopped me from throwing out some wooden with leather cushion seats. She noticed that there was an...

    Carpet Strtching?

    We've been our house for four years now. It was a new construction house and we loved it. But over the course of this winter the carpet has started to rill in multiple spots throughout the house. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any suggestions? Do we have someone stretch it or...

    Tmobile Reception in Des Moines

    Looking to switch carriers. Currently with Sprint, I seldom have dropped calls and have been a satisfied customer for 12 years, but looking to make a switch.

    Let Me Mayor Commencement

    For those that are not aware, CFH will be giving the commencement speech at Grand View University this weekend. In my opinion GVU has missed an opportunity to market this, as I believe it would allow more interest towards their school. But to each his own I guess. The real reason I am bringing...

    MJ Heckles Barnes

    MJ catches the team walking to the bus and makes fun of Barnes for wearing Kobe's. Promises the team any kind of Jordan they want if they make the final four, including Jordan's that aren't made anymore... I find this video pretty cool, but I can see this kind of thing being turned into a...

    MLB: Cubs v Cards

    My wife got us bleacher seats to the Cubs Cards game on Friday for our anniversary. I know that if you want a front row, you typically have to get there 2 hours before the gates open (4 hours total before first pitch). But with the Cards series, is this any different? I'm assuming it is. Anyone...

    Colston hears message loud and clear - NFL - Yahoo! Sports I know there are a LOT of stories about players that are in the super bowl this week, but I really liked this one about Colston. He's been on my fantasy team the past 3 years, it's always good to hear stuff like this.

    Mid Season Football Awards

    It's by Dennis Dodd, so take it FWIW. But the most notable phrase, "Biggest surprises: Miami, for going 3-1 in that brutal four-game opening stretch and challenging for the ACC title, and Iowa (7-0) for winning more ways than Joan Rivers has wigs" Rolling out midseason...

She will be at the Hoyt Sherman Place. Tickets go on sale this Friday (8/28/09). I for one will be there, as I think she is...

    Saw this and was pretty amazed. YouTube - JK Wedding Entrance Dance Reminds me of that video a while ago where the bride and groom danced to "Baby got Back." I wonder what kind of church this is? The alter in the back throws me off.

    Big Cat in WDM

    Ok, so I come home to my wife freaking out last night. We live just west of Des Moines Golf and Country. She was on her way home from working out and she said she saw a mountain lion cross 88th St by the railroad tracks going towards a water detainment pond. I told her that she probably just saw...
