Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

This is a developing Internet hoax:

The following companies just filed for Bankruptcy

Hollywood Video
Levitz
Sharper Image
Performance Team Freight
Linens n Things
Circuit City
Bed, Bath and Beyond

If you have gift cards from the above list use them ASAP, they will not be valid for much longer.

PASS THE WORD.

Actually 3 out of the 7 companies listed above have not filed for bankruptcy, and future variations of this chain E-Mail over the next several months are expected to include even longer (and growing) lists of companies that have not filed for bankruptcy. These chain E-Mails are intended to intentionally frighten the public and slow down E-Mail servers worldwide with bogus information. Don’t base your day-to-day life decisions on chain E-Mails. Don’t fall prey to Internet hoaxes. Use common sense.

Incidentally just because a company has truly filed for bankruptcy does not mean that they have stopped honoring gift cards (although some do just that).

Bedtime Stories

And so we have right here right now the Tuesday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’ – brought to you by Zicam.

My unexpectedly long Good Friday / Easter Sunday holiday weekend will soon come to a close as I pray to God and lay myself to sleep in about 2½-hours. I’ll get about 6 hours of sleep tonight, and then I’ll wake up at 5 AM tomorrow morning and be at work by 6 AM. I’m looking forward to getting back to my desk at work and catching up with everything there. Once upon a time I dreaded going to work, but now I adore it.

I saw the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Endeavour over the eastern skies of Homestead tonight just after 8 PM. It was so cool watching the Space Shuttle play tag team with the ISS up in Earth’s orbit from practically sea level.

I bought my very first atomic radio-controlled clock today. It picks-up its signal from the NIST signal out of Fort Collins Colorado. I now know exactly what time it is, and I can set my watch and VCR clocks to its precise time.

FedEx delivered my fresh new 2GB iPod Shuffle from Apple late this afternoon. Now I can get to work and fill that thing up with today’s hottest Christian rock, pop, and hip hop hits !

And that’s how I roll tonight with my ‘Bedtime Stories’. Be sure to catch this blog in action again tomorrow for some more cool stuff, and don’t forget that Thursday night is ‘Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’ night. Until then remember this:

Zicam – Get over your cold faster.

Good Night Everyone !  Good Night Nancy !

Bedtime Stories

Greetings fellow bloggers – those who read and those who write. It’s time for the Sunday night edition of ‘Bedtime Stories’ – brought to you by Cookie Crisp cereal.

Here are some things that I resolve to do during this upcoming holiday week:

  • Wear a green shirt tomorrow to celebrate my Irish heritage in honour of St. Patrick’s Day. (I’m 50% Irish in case you didn’t know.)
  • Eat Chinese food for Lunch tomorrow to celebrate my love of foods that are green – such as broccoli.
  • Go to Publix tomorrow afternoon after work to do some serious shopping for food. Yes Venus and Kristina – even though I don’t cook my own food I still eat food.
  • Get a tattoo on my lower-right thigh with Jesse.
  • Wash and dry bath towels twice this week.
  • Prepare for the WORM. (This only makes sense to my coworkers.)
  • Shave on Tuesday night.
  • Go out clubbing with Paul.
  • Attend Life Group this Wednesday night and arrive before Nancy.
  • Serve at the ‘Moonlight Easter Egg Hunt’ on Good Friday night. (Visit easterinhomestead.com for the 411.)
  • Induct another ‘Chris Day’ into ‘The Chris Day Club’.
  • Get a haircut with Travis at Woody’s Barber Shop.

Be sure to return back here tomorrow afternoon for another fun-filled day here on the blog. I may even have a fresh new edition of ‘The Fortune Cookie Message Of The Week Club’.

Until then remember this:

If you like cookies, you’ll love Cookie Crisp !

Bedtime Stories

It’s Thursday night. It’s 8:30 PM. I can’t think of a better time than now to post my ‘Bedtime Stories’ for tonight – brought to you by Boston Market.

Today at Lunch time I took my car for a much-needed bubble bath at Busy Bee Car Wash up in Perrine. I’ve been going to that place for the past 4 cars and 19 years. They always do a good job cleaning it all up for me.

After that I went over to The Living Word Christian Bookstore in Cutler Bay. I spent a good half-hour there browsing around the whole store, and I bought a few items as well.

Lunch was next, and I ate at the Boston Market at the corner of Useless-One and Quail Roost Drive. They are very unorganized there as far as ordering, paying for, and receiving your food, but the utter chaos became a memory once I sunk in to that delicious food !

Well that’s how I spent my Lunch hour two-hours today.

Tomorrow on the blog I’ve got your ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’. That’s where I ping some of my favourite blog entries of this past week.

Until then remember this:
