The Case of the Missing Wedding Picture

Our wedding picture.  Well... not quite but pretty damn close!  lol

Hey there. Every weekend, for the past month or so, the wife and I have been working our butts off to make our house a home.  We've put up furniture, we've put up curtains, we've picked up couches, we've set up our kitchen, we cleared out our garage, we've set up our rooms, we even got ourselves a new TV.  But you know what... it still didn't feel like home.  Like my wife mentioned last weekend, it still feels like we're staying in a hotel.  Hmmm...  It sucks when your house doesn't feel like your home, but we realized why!  We had absolutely NO pictures up on the walls.  NONE.  We've spent so much time and energy setting everything else up that we didn't bother with the pictures.  Well, that's the project we handled last weekend!

Damn You Blogging Gods!!!

You Can be a Winner in an Online Lottery

Hey there. If you have ever wanted to play a lottery, then consider one that you can play online. Many of the rules are the same as you would find on a lottery ticket. Most states have some type of lottery that you can enter, but there could be fees for different states in order for you to play some of the games or to enter. Most lotteries have a minimum age of 18 years old. Some states have a minimum subscription such as $20 in order to play. As in a ticket that you would purchase from a store, you can choose your own lottery numbers. You can also use a service where the state randomly picks the numbers for you. If you have lucky numbers that you like, then you might want to avoid this option. When you subscribe and pay the fees, you can then purchase tickets. The tickets are normally $1, but some states have tickets that are higher. These tickets usually have a higher payout, but it is sometimes harder to win because there are more people who play the higher amounts. If you win in the lottery, you will be notified, and a confirmation of your ticket purchased is sent to your email.
