Nonchalant projectile vomiting…yes, it’s a post about puking!

Posted on January 7, 2013 by donofalltrades

Kudos to G$ for starring in three consecutive blog posts!  Your shenanigans are second to none, my son! Fortunately for the world around me, I seldom puke (what a disgusting word, let’s use hurl from here on out). This is … Continue reading →

Astroglide…it’s what’s for dinner and apparently non-toxic!

Posted on January 4, 2013 by donofalltrades

A few weeks ago while working in the yard (I know, this story sounds made up already,right?) the wife called for me in a semi-frantic tone.  Not as frantic as the recent G$ incident, but enough so that I put … Continue reading →

Hey St. Clare Hospital emergency room, if you were a person, i’d f$cking punch you in the face.

No problem here, it’s just a giant hole in my head… Once again, poor G$ had to experience the failure that is the American health care industry, specifically, the wunderkinds at SSM Health Care System.  Doing who knows what with … Continue reading →

One man’s trash…

Posted on December 31, 2012 by donofalltrades

We were surprisingly lucky to sell our old South City house a couple of years back with minimal fuss and for right about what we asked for it.  The same day it went online through a realtor, we had a buyer.  … Continue reading →

Merry Christmas underprivileged upper-middle or lower upper class family!

Posted on December 20, 2012 by donofalltrades

Christmas is the time for giving!  From time to time, I like to throw my pocket change (not quarters though!) into the bucket of the Salvation Army bell ringer and scoff at those who walk by giving nothing as though … Continue reading →

Jane from Omaha, your lasagna sucks and you’re an unhelpful dumbass!

Posted on December 18, 2012 by donofalltrades

As I am the bitch of the house, cooking is one of my duties. I don’t mind doing it, but I suck at not following a recipe. I like the explicit ingredient list followed by the comforting instructions that I … Continue reading →

a poem about the Connecticut tragedy.

Posted on December 15, 2012 by donofalltrades

Christmas…we’re sorry jesus.

Posted on December 12, 2012 by donofalltrades

Christmas used to be a kickass time of the year to me.  All year long I was mostly well behaved enough that I knew Santa was going to come and leave me some booty under the tree. I was always good enough … Continue reading →
