I was telling you not long ago about another site that I have that was hijacked, it received over 80,000 hits in about two hours for various prescription drug traffic that was then forwarded on to a site

It's amazing what can happen to kill your plans for a week, and this past week was a loss for me thanks to some bored hacker who took advantage of one of my other sites. I now know much more about web

This storm is really funny - the media is freaking everyone out.  Schools have been closed in Orange County nearly all week and all we had was a little rain and wind. They keep talking about how bad the

I am getting so frustrated watching gymnastics in the Olympics. My main beef is the 14 year old Chinese gymnasts.  And then I can't see how Romania's Sandra Izbasa won the gold!  She did a great floor

We just switched web servers to make sure everything would continue to run smoothly. So everything had to be put on hold until the switch was complete. Thanks for your patience.

We've been watching the Olympics every night since Friday and it is really amazing to see how great these athletes are. Tonight was the first night I was really frustrated with our Women's Gymnastics

Today I learned how to post on the blog more effectively, and it's so simple that I'm surprised I didn't figure this out on my own. It's easy to write a story about what you did today, it's even easier

I am loving watching this housing market in Orlando fall! I know it is sad for those folks that paid way too much and now they can't sell. But for the ones where we offered and they refused - I have

I've been posting a lot of "soap box" topics lately and Chris and I had a discussion on DUIs today. We agreed that if the penalties were strict, people wouldn't continue to do it. Last week a car hit

Chris came and begged me to drive him to McDonald's tonight. At 2am. And I agreed. Bad idea! The McDonald's he loves (and the one that is open 24 hours) is right next to a construction site. We

We are currently planning some hiking and camping trips for the summer - and it is a lot more work than it seems! Many of the National Park campgrounds book up months out and some open their reservations

I didn't want any bells and whistles in my FJ Cruiser but the choice of radio stations in Orlando is not good, and the one killer feature of my FJ is that it has an input plug for an MP3 player for the

Lately we have been traveling to cooler climates and whenever someone asks how we like Orlando we always say "we really like it, but it is way too hot all the time!" Then they always respond "Oh it gets

Doesn't that sound odd? And like a waste of money? How hard is it to put on a wedding dress? Apparently it isn't that easy! I've seen at least 5 weddings this year where the dress was not put on

I have this fear of bridal showers and baby showers. I am trying to figure out why I don't like them and I think it all boils down to the presents. I never know what to buy! I know there are registries

We had a wedding tonight in a Catholic church. I can usually recite every reading and it is pretty predictable on what the priest will say for his sermon. But tonight was totally different - it was one
