'Mailman Steve' gets probation

I would say that saving people the annoyance of dealing with their own junk mail is a service, not a crime, but I'm a little disturbed by the fact that he buried junk mail in his yard...

McDonalds burns down

Sad... not that a McDonald's burned down, but that so many people considered it a loss... especially you, Dennis Hansen, you're darn right Culver's is not the same! It's BETTER because it's REAL FOOD!... I hope they never rebuild so that the citizens of Watertown will be forced to adapt a more discerning taste for quick-serve meals... the destruction of a McDonald's is possibly some of the best news I've gotten all week!

Miller Park's makeover continues

What they mean by "fully financed by the club" is that ticket prices will once again be hiked up to pay for unnecessary remodeling! The park is only 7 years old for heaven's sake! Stop trying to make it a once-in-a-lifetime experience ...for those few fairweathers that will only come to Miller Park once in their lifetime, and start making it more accommodating for the regulars who've been following the club since birth!Read More

How to find the motivation to exercise

If only... While I've been told that exercising would give me more energy, every time I think of exercising I decide I'm too tired and take a nap instead... In allocation accounting this would be referred to as the "death spiral."

Why guys go for outta-their-league ladies

While I do suscribe to the belief that it should be what's on the inside that counts, I have long been annoyed by the fact that you never see a frumpy, love-handled woman paired with a hunk on TV sitcoms or commercials...

How we got here: It is housing, stupid

If I were a hippie, I might wager that this is karma for being so money hungry that you would let your company loan money to those who clearly lack the financial savvy to pay them back, especially at outrageous adjustable interest rates designed to pull the rug out from under those less capable of regaining their balance...

Miller Park to host Astros, Cubs

I am quite conflicted in who to root for... On the one hand, my dislike for the Cubs is so strong that I'm not sure I can bring myself to cheer for them, however, the Astros are getting closer to competing with the Brewers for the NL Wild Card, so I also want them to fall as far behind the Brewers as possible... While I do not want to see the Cubs get even closer to clinching the NL Central, thus further inflating the egos of their fans, at this point I just want to see the Brewers play in October for once in my life...

Grapevine student with top grades won't be valedictorian

That's what you get for being so smart... Though how can she have a GPA over 4.0... That's supposed to be a perfect GPA, isn't it?!... And don't even get me started on the stupidity of ABHS eliminating weighted grades, I'm sorry, but an A in a class like AP Physics is NOT equivalent to an A in Art!... It's just not!

Cub fans: Please stop believing

LOL! It will be so great working Brewers/Cubs games at Miller Park this year, now that the Cub fans will be even MORE obnoxious (if that's even possible :) since they somehow managed to come out on top of the division... Good thing The Crew will be the ones working in October this year =D
