Have We Become Too Sensitive as a Society? [POLL]
So I finally got to watch The Avengers movie and I must say it was nothing short of epic, amazing and other multi-syllable adjectives that I can’t pronounce. During one scene of the movie, The Avengers were talking about Thor’s brother Loki and how bad of a person he was then Thor joked “he’s adopted”. Now it seems some feathers have been ruffled by that comment, which brings me to my question ‘ha
When is it Appropriate to Tip? [POLL]
We’ve all experienced that uncomfortable situation of not knowing when to tip. You don’t want to feel like a jerk for not tipping but you may not have any spare change to leave as a tip. You’re an even bigger jerk if you ask if it’s customary to tip because then you look cheap, right? Hopefully, with the help of everyone who reads this, we can help clear up some of the confusion on when it’s appro

Which Musician Would You Like to See Brought Back to Life as a Hologram? [POLL]
Tupac Shakur has been dead for years but, during the 2012 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, he was brought ‘back to life’ as a hologram. Apparently, Tupac’s resurrection was only the beginning in a series of holograms of deceased ‘rock stars’.
Who Has the Dirtiest Job in Abilene?
A sign that I’m getting old is that when the weekend approaches I now think of what I’m going to watch on TV as opposed to what bar or party I’m going to. Well, as I was thinking about catching up watching Dirty Jobs (my DVR has about 10 episodes I haven’t seen) then I started thinking how many of those ‘dirty jobs’ you see on the show exist in the Abilene area.

How to Make Tropical Habanero Garlic Salsa – Cooking with Frank Pain
It’s no secret that I love to cook. Finding time to cook is another story. But cooking is definitely one of my favorite hobbies. I enjoy preparing just about anything from appetizers to entrees; from Mexican to Cajun to Italian to American. My only real downfall in the kitchen is the lack of enough beer and the ability to prepare a great dessert.

Who’s Your Choice for President? [POLL]
It seems you can’t turn on the TV without seeing one poll or another that supposedly reflects the majority of Americans. Whether it’s TV viewing, eating, sleeping, internet or voting preferences (amongst many others) there’s a poll for everything. But, how many times have you seen results of a poll that didn’t reflect your thoughts? For me, all the freakin’ time.

Stopping by the grocery store on the way home from work is as common as the wind in West Texas. You’d think I’d make a list and get everything I need for a week or two, but that never happens. While on my most recent trip to the store, I overheard a kid in the produce section telling his mom that she was stealing because she ate a grape without paying for it.
