After working out at the gym last week, I stepped into the shower to cleanse myself before work.
On the floor in the shower room, I saw one of these...

I've been thinking, and it's about time for me to start being more serious.
So I'll start with this...

Yes, the very epitome of awesomeness!
I took this picture of myself yesterday.

OK. It seems that my place of employment has blocked PlanetPreterist.com because it's an "advocacy" site.
Fortunately, I can still get to the blogs (for now).
They've also blocked access to biblegateway.com and any other sites based on "religion."
It looks like I'll have to go the old-fashioned way and start flipping pages.

Apparently some can calculate your IQ score by using only 18 questions.
I don't buy it.

I've finally got the Twin Dragons Kenpo Karate web site up and running.
You can visit the site at www.tdkenpo.com.
It's not complete yet, but everything there is functional. More content will be added later.
If you're in the Dayton, OH area, we'd love to have you come train with us.
It's a great way to build self-confidence, get/stay in shape, and learn some solid self-defense (in case the need arises). Besides, the head of the TDKK Association is a preterist (no, it's not me).
If you're interested in learning more, you can either send an email info@tdkenpo.com, use the "Contact Us" form, or leave a comment here.
Thanks to Virgil for hosting the site for me (even though he charges me through the nose).

Ok, we've all seen some of my complaint statements that I've sent to various companies.
Now here's one I sent today to a company that markets some food I decided to try for lunch.
You guys should try this food. It's good.
On to the "complaint" --->
A few weeks ago, I purchased a box of the Tai Pei General Tso's Spicy Chicken from the local grocery store. The frozen, microwaveable pail caught my attention while I was search for food items to take to the workplace for lunch.
"NEW!" it said clearly on the box.
I thought to myself, "Oh, this really IS new. And look at that! It's in one of those silly little 'to go' boxes you get from a restaurant. I'll buy one and see what it's like."
My experience with frozen, microwaveable food had been less than ideal, but I decided to try something "NEW!"
Time passed by...
While at work, I removed the container of "chicken white meat & vegetables in a spicy sauce" from the freezer. Before reading the cooking instructions, I removed the plastic clear wrap from the box. It was then that I read the instructions. "Just great!" I said aloud, "Now what do I do?"
I followed the rest of the instructions precisely so nothing else could go wrong. "Ooh!" I exclaimed, "That really does smell good!"
My mouth watering in anticipation, I open the lid. Peering down into the container, I see brilliant greens, oranges, and other vegetable colors. As I dipped my fork into the tasty-looking mixture, I was shaking. "Could this be real?"
Oh wow! There was so much flavor in the first bite. I gobbled the rest of the feast within seconds. The last bite was just as good as the first.
Had my experience with frozen food really changed? I did not know...until now.
Today, I sampled the Tai Pei Shrimp Fried Rice. This time, since I knew about the cooking directions on the side of the box, I read them before doing anything else. No step was skipped.
I sit down at my desk and take the first bite (after opening the container, of course). Holy To-Go Pails! I think it took less time to eat this than "The General." The meal, just like the previous Tai Pei meal, was full of flavor. Plenty of little shrimps to enjoy throughout. Almost enough to have one for each bite.
I believe you have changed my view of frozen, microwaveable foods. These have to be the greatest. I can't wait to try the next flavor! If only I was given a large supply of this stuff. Only then would I be a happy man.

Pulling the first bag from the box, I thought to myself, "This is going to be good times! I'll get to throw my trash out and not worry about the mess. Hefty is some good stuff."
Oh boy! The bag ripped and got holes in it (no horseplay involved). I mused, "Oh well, that's one bag. Nobody's product can be perfect 100% of the time. I won't hold it against them."
Bag 2: The same sort of thing happens. I had to use Bag 3 as a container for Bag 2.
I'm sad to say this type of activity continued until the end of Bag 30. Just about every single bag in this box of Hefty Twist Tie Tall Kitchen Bags compromised the cleanliness of my hands as the result of holes or rips. The bags that did not were used to contain the faulty culprits (although, some of those ripped as well).
We have since purchased a store brand, and they have outperformed the Hefty brand by far.
At least I have some twist ties left over to use for something.
Oh yeah...I'm not real sure of the Embossed Code on the package end flap either. It appears that the stamping machine was a little off that day, so I had to guess at the last few numbers.
(I sent this message today to the company that makes Hefty trash bags.)
