Just a little break from the normal politics and fawkery… I was strolling through the interwebs and came up with a post on Lifehacker that provides strategies on dealing with family members that drive one crazy.

So The Banks in Portland are Being Shut Down?Written November 17, 2011 by Jeremie under Fail
That is the stated goal for the Occupiers today. Their antics have already resulted in the closure of the Steel Bridge which almost made my commute a no-go. Their tactics apparently involve marching to banks and businesses and sitting in. I am curious to see what will happen when the owners of those private parcels…

Good Going Sam…Written November 13, 2011 by Jeremie under Fail
It is now 01:04 and Chapman and Lownsdale squares are still filled with Occupiers. This is what happens when you announce a deadline days ahead of schedule and then fail to act on it. Now the perception is that our Mayor was bluffing. What a joke.

My Stance on Extreme CouponingWritten November 1, 2011 by Jeremie under Fail
What do I think of “Extreme Couponing”? Hrm… One moment please… Life. Get one. Now I know someone who has a full binder of newspaper ads to use in price-matches and a large accordion file with coupons organized A-Z. This person sources coupons from 3 or 4 different newspapers on a daily basis. I have personally been…
