 Dead Mime I’d like to pass along something I recently learned from a now deceased mime. If you are a secret agent, or have multiple mistresses or misterstresses this will be of great importance to you. When emailing multiple people always use “BCC” (Blind Carbon Copy). What this means is if you send an email to many people it appears you are sending it to one person and makes each individual feel special and dosn’t put there poop (or email address) out in the street. Little Donny Howard this blog is for you!!

 Airline Delay Policy This shit weather has got me to thinking. Besides being the a royal pain in the kiester, it is creating some ‘snow days’. So if you get stuck in Key West rather than Atlanta or any other airport for that matter, with proof of course, and we have the space available, how does half off on your room sound? Yep, we will offer the night you are stuck at half the normal rate (not discounted), but three weeks is out of the question. We hope that helps lessen the burden of being “stuck” in paradise.

 Ragnar Relay Woo Nellie. The Ragnar Relay participants just keep booking so we decided to do something special for you guys. We are going to lay out a small spread for you Rangnars on Sunday morning- bagels, fresh fruit, danish, juice and coffee. Make sure to pick out an Eden House hat or visor on your way out the door (we want that free advertising). Just remember we are all winners! June 30, 2010
 Cut Back on Your Soap Bubba Not you personally, your laundry soap. Colleen has been bugging me for years to cut back on the laundry detergent and now this. I’m not sure which irritates me the most, her being right or me being wrong. According to this article I have been using way too much soap – figures. But it is the American way, isn’t it? More is better? The reciept for making your own soap is interesting. Any thoughts on the subject. Keep it clean. See ya, Mike June 1, 2010
 Dennis Hopper  Young Dennis Hopper Dennis Hopper was one of my favorites. Here are some TV commercials by da man. I think those for NFL are over the top. What do you think? One of my favorite movies with him is “Flashback” with Kiefer Sutherland. If you were one of the ‘flower children’ or ‘space cadets’ back in the ’70′s you might enjoy it. That is if you can remember the ’70′s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rD-s5C0BKU The F bomb is dropped in one of the commercials so it is not suitable for small children and pets.

 Triclosan We don’t need this stuff. Triclosan is classified as a pesticide and it’s finding it’s way into more and more products daily. By products, I mean tooth paste, deodorants, cleaning supplies, liquid soaps and the list goes on and on. Is there no decency in the way companies do business anymore? The dollar had been the bottom line for many decades but like everything else in this society there are no longer any values and morals. It is no wonder that dogs and frogs are growing extra eyes – industry is messing with mother nature and as the saying goes, “mother nature don’t like being messed with.” Does this bother you as much it does me? How about an email to the FDA, since they regulate it’s use rather than the EPA. I don’t understand how this creepy shit can go on our highly developed and not to mention, civilized country. As my D.I. told me in boot camp, “take this dime and call everyone who gives a shit.” With email it is a lot easier that. Pass this message along to any ‘tree huggers’ that you might know and even moms should care ’bout this one. I’ll try to find a happier subject next time. I promise. Mike April 13, 2010
 Clear2O Water Filtration Pitcher A water filtration pitcher and a couple stainless steel water bottles (customize them to your liking) are where it’s at. Consumer’s Report (May 2010 issue) has rated the Clear2O water filtration pitcher as the best buy, which means it’s the best for the money and does the best job. Both the regular and the premium pitchers are rated excellent for lead and chloroform removal, excellent for flow rate and very good for not clogging – all categories are in the red. Both pitchers are well below what Consumer’s Report has them listed at and the years replacements filters are about $60. Is this a no brainer or what? Aqua Man – remember that comic?

 MBT's I have been getting lots of comments and inquirers about my ‘moon boots’ lately. They are actually MBT’s and I get them from footwearetc.com They are amazing for old legs (ankles and feet too) like mine. If anyone has a pair, don’t throw them away when the soles wear out. You can get them replaced for $65 (soles and the foam cushion) and they pay for the return shipping. I have had my oldest pair for two years and got them resoled about six months ago. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Don’t take my word for it, give ‘em a try. Free shipping both ways from footwearetc.com So return them if you don’t like them and nothing lost. I have three pairs and rotate them daily. I won’t ever wear anything else. I feel like I am walking on clouds but they take a bit of getting use to. Oh yea, there is a special break in period. You only wear them for two hours for the first day, four hours the second day and then tighten your seat belt. They are almost like that pair of new Converse tennis shoes you got each summer when you were a kid. Remember the ones that were so much faster than the old pair?
My favorite style of BMT’s are the Chapa and they are being phased out and are on sale. Anyone out there wearing MBT’s? Drop me a line and let me know what you think.
