Well, I didn’t win the $550 million Power Ball jackpot. I didn’t even come close. So, just like millions of other people across the United States, I wasted my money that I definitely could have used for something more important/necessary in my life. But, we’re all dreamers these days, aren’t we? Geez, can you imagine what you would do with that kind of money? What would the first thing you’d buy be? A car? A house? Pay off your debt? Give it all to charity? That last one was, of course, a joke. I would find it hard to give any of that money away if I ever won it. Sure, I’d have no problem buying some family and friends a car, or maybe telling them that any time we ever go out in the future, it’s on me, possibly taking a group vacation to the Bahamas or something. But, I couldn’t imagine just giving someone, or some charity, a check. I don’t want that to sound rude, but where would it stop? How do … Continue reading →

First off, let me start with a disclaimer.  Do not drink “Hallowine.”  It’s an apple and pumpkin wine, made with cinammon and nutmeg spices.  I should have known not to drink it the second I read the cork and it said “Illinois River Winery.”  I live in Illinois, and this is NOT wine country.  And, I’ve seen the Illinois River, it’s not a sight to see.  Chances are, it’s not even a winery, they just dump buckets in the River, throw the water in a strainer, boil it with apples and pumpkin seeds, and throw some cinammon and nutmeg into the bottle once it’s “finished.”  Although, if it means anything to you, I drank the entire bottle.  That’s just how I am.  I commit myself to drinking whatever I put in front of me (except warm apple cider & microwaved cognac).  Seriously, though, don’t f*cking drink this stuff.  I’m sure the Illinois River Winery owners are great people, but they really messed it up on this.   Ok, secondly, Happy Thanksgiving!    Third, we had … Continue reading →

The episode starts off with Skupin giving us the same old, same old, “I’m relieved” routine. He’s relieved to still be around, even though he didn’t get one vote to leave. He was pleased to see that the votes were split between Jeff and Pete, because both of them had been loud-mouthed enthusiasts about getting out the returning players. Even with how loud the people are being about that aspect, they still aren’t living up to it, seeing as how both Penner and Skupin are still around. And, I’m sure if Russell didn’t suck it up for his tribe, he might even still be around, as well.

Oh, and I guess we got our answer as to why Penner voted for Abi. He was pissed! Uh, ok. Pissed about what? That there was a Plan B? I think I’m still lost as to why he voted for her. Sure, he justifies it by saying that even if he had voted for Pete, it would have only been a tie, but still, why would you vote … Continue reading →
