Happy Sunday everyone. FB said that in order to increase engagement on a page, the posts should provide information the reader will find insightful and have them thinking about it throughout the day. Here goes.

This morning I woke up with what I thought was an overnight mole growth under my armpit. Turns out it was a melted raisenette that got lost during midnight snacking.

It tasted a little salty but overall not bad.

I don’t how how Conway Police Department knew that I skipped my morning coffee and needed a “surge” of adrenaline but they certainly delivered.

I had a very nice conversation with both officers, yes backup was called because…..well it’s me. Every PD that pulls me over always calls for backup because I look like such a street toughen gangster.

But seriously though. Super nice guys who handled the stop perfectly and I’m glad they’re out there helping to keep the streets safe. And yes I did think about pretending I was blind so they’d have to follow me for a longer distance instead of what I actually did and immediately pulled over but was thinking that if they didn’t get the joke I didn’t want to end up getting the jolt.

Long rant so you better grab a snack. Just had to get this off my chest.

I know y’all like it when I use my page “for good” and to help promote local businesses but from time to time I have to tell you about my more disappointing experiences with local businesses. Don’t get me wrong United Heating & Air, LLC is pretty bad but Hometown Roofing LLC. Is the worse. Here’s what I mean.

The other day we had some incredibly strong winds. The kind that the big bad wolf in the 3 little pigs story would be envious of. We had trees snap and I was expecting half of our roof shingles to be gone. So you can imagine my surprise when I walked out to see that not a single shingle was even out of place. About a year ago Hometown Roofing was at my house to fix my roof due to weather and since then all the winds, rain, snow and hail hasn’t messed up their work. It’s a little disappointing that my roof didn’t get damaged because I work from home and I never have anyone to talk to. How am I supposed to “chew the fat” with people if they keep doing such quality work that I have no reason to call them back?!?!? Disappointing.

At least Rheem make such a sh*tty AC unit that it breaks down several times a year and I get to see the air conditioning folks. They’re so nice too. Every 30 minutes or so Jason reminds me that he charges by the hour and needs to go since he finished the work hours ago. He’s so thoughtful that he suggests I save some of my stories for my therapist.

Anyway, if you need any work done reach out to them. Or if you too work from home and are bored, call the roofing people. They do free inspections.

Update: Jason Jarvis of United Heating & Air, LLC came though and got the part that was needed. Nobody had it in stock yet somehow he found one. He probably had to swap feet pics for the AC part.

Any of you sleeping with or know an AC person to ask if they have a thermistor and can install it? Please tag them here.

I’m terrified about telling my menopausal wife that she’s gonna have no AC and will be living like it’s the year of our Lord 1922.

This place was somewhere between Conway AR and Branson MI. Or is it Branson MA, I don’t really know. I could go back to try and find the name but it’s too much hassle and the place just wasn’t very accommodating to my needs/requests so I’m not gonna tag them and give them free publicity.

From the outside it looks like one of those restaurants where you’d expect the food to be greasy and good. So the place at least looks like it’ll have good food and decent service. However for us we just didn’t get that.

Instead what we got was stellar and attentive service along with food that not only was full of seasonings and flavor but also came on plates large enough to hold a 20 pound turkey. These people absolutely DO NOT play when it comes to portion sizes. Literally just one of those could have fed our entire family. The only thing that none of us liked was their gravy. It sucked. Super gritty and bland with an extra serving of “oh sweet baby Jesus why is this gloopy mess on my plate”. So skip the gravy or get it on the side and you’ll love the meal.

Oh and yeah…..they refused to accommodate me when I asked to have someone, anyone, from their staff carry me to my car. How do they expect anyone to walk after those huge meals?!?!? I didn’t care if they carried me cradled like a baby or slung over their shoulder fireman style. I just didn’t want to walk and risk having my knees buckle from the extra weight.

If you know the name of this place sure you could tag them and snitch or share it on your page. Maybe someone knows the name.

I forgot where this was in Little Rock but that’s OK because I wouldn’t recommend it to any of you anyway. I do know it was named as a burger place but that was a lie. This wasn’t just a burger joint. It was a heavenly spot for burgers, chicken sandwiches and even a steak salad. That’s right people, I sampled a salad and liked it but before I bit into it, my wife did toss it a little to make sure everything was seasoned. And seasoned it was.

So if you ever find yourself at this mysterious burger spot, don’t forget to get the truffle fries but like I said, I wouldn’t recommend for you to go there. Mostly because I don’t want a huge crowd of you hungry gluttons keeping me from eating and testing the hold strength of my last belt loop.

I’m starting to think the cats look at me as if I’m the problem. I’m an angel. An angel that doesn’t feed them according to their schedules.

The Purple Cow located in Conway has permanently closed. I for one say that it couldn’t have happened to a better restaurant. That place was run like the inside of my head when I’m unmedicated. Surprised it took this long for it to close.

The unsubstantiated rumors are that allegedly it closed due to inappropriate advances from a member of the staff towards a minor. Ummmm if that does end up being true then we’re gonna need names of the adult or adults.

Anyway, the place is now closed so if you want disgusting food, send me a DM and I’ll give you a full list of places that are likely to give you the squirts.

Hey Taco Bell, Panda Express and all the other places that think it’s OK to ask. I’m getting really tired of paying good money for mediocre food only to be asked by the cashier “do you want to round up your amount to have the change go to the Children’s Hospital?”. The answer will always be no.

Not because I don’t want to help the kids or feed the needy or give money to scholarships. All you’re doing is taking my money, and then you get to tell the world how many millions you raised but in reality none of it is really from you.

So no. I don’t want to save the endangered bowlegged baby seals of Antigua. Just give me my food with as little back and forth conversation as possible. To all of you working those windows, I’m not blaming you. You have to ask. Corporate greed is out of control. Not only do they overcharge us but now they’re asking us to make them look good. They make millions each year in profit. Stop asking the little guy for everything. I’ll donate to the charities myself and do so directly. That way I know for sure the money gets to them and you don’t get to use any for “operating expenses”.

Today ended up being probably the worst day in a long time. A day that will be remembered and regretted for a long time. A day that will be relived in repeating nightmares….. Let me explain.

My daughter got invited to a birthday party. Even though I didn’t know anybody there, I put on my big boy pants and a brave face and took her. It turned out to be tons of fun and the people were great. They had this cheese dip there that I wanted to try but since earlier I went to Jesse's Grill , I couldn’t eat anything else. I wanted to but I was beyond stuffed.

Fast forward and I ended up with some of the dip at my house. Solid dip. Full of flavor and not too cheesy to where your mouth feels like you bit into a block of Valveeta.

Now here’s what I meant earlier by it being a horrible day. Not for me but for the people who made the dip. They let it slip that they live not even a mile from my house. They have NO IDEA the trauma they’re about to endure by me stalking their FB page and if I see them post a picture of a smoker, I’ll be there empty plate and fork in hand. Will they probably think about moving? Yep. Will they pretend to not be home? Also yep. Did I find me a new place to bum some food? Oh heck yep. Annie also enjoyed the dip.
