Temporary work for the holidays

Posted: 29th November 2011 by T.F.P. in Check it out

A lot of my friends are trying to get temporary work to make extra money for the holidays. This is traditionally the time of year when stores, restaurants, and similar businesses take on a bunch of new PT workers for a short time to help them get through the busy period. I’ve lots of ads [...]

Bears at Oakland ’11

Posted: 27th November 2011 by T.F.P. in Sports

Ugh, if any Bears fans think Jay Cutler has been the problem for this team, they need to get their heads examined. With Cutler on the sidelines after surgery to repair a broken thumb, Caleb Hanie took over the offense and had a mostly terrible game. To his credit, he made some big plays, including [...]

Thank you, Jonathan Toews. This was one of those games when the Blackhawks captain basically willed his team to win.

Quarterback Jay Cutler suffered a broken thumb in the team’s win over the San Diego Chargers yesterday, will need surgery that will likely sideline him for the remainder of the regular season. This totally sucks because it seemed like the offense had [...]

Wedding Gifts

One of my old college buddies is getting married in North Carolina in a couple of weeks. I won’t be able to attend in person, but I’m definitely going to be sending a gift. Trouble is, I haven’t figured out yet what that will be! I don’t want to get the usual kitchen/housewares gift because [...]
