Don't miss the important part of movies - RunPee.com
I thought this was an interesting site. The information is helpful for a number of reason you might want to skip out for a few minutes (refill the popcorn, get a drink, return a call or text, and of course the primary reason as indicated by the site name… to pee)
What is the purpose of RunPee.com?
RunPee.com’s purpose: to help you enjoy your movie going experience and relieve your bladder at the same time:
* Every movie has a few scenes in there somewhere that aren’t crucial to the plot.
* Every movie has a few minutes you can miss and not be lost when you sit back down.
* No more guessing when to run and pee!

Freeware sites - utilities & programs (not many games)
There are a number of places what I look for free utilities and programs. Some improve the windows experience and some are for other specific functions. The first three sites listed below review the software and the last one has lots of software but usually just has a description of what it does.
Hopefully someone else finds them helpful.

Unexpected Homeless Visitor Emergency Kit
Last Thursday evening after dark our door bell rang. When I answered the door there stood a lady that I didn’t know and my wife didn’t know.
Her story was not clear or consistent but included leaving the hospital (3+ miles away line of sight and further if you travel by roads) and walking into our neighborhood. He said her name was Lynn but that it wasn’t her real name. She further clarified that it also wasn’t her first name. (I didn’t see the need for here to clarify the statement but maybe I looked confused.)
She said she was in an abusive relationship and didn’t want anyone to know where she was or where she was going.
I inquired, Where are you going?. She didn’t have an answer to that question but said she wanted to keep moving. At that point Melodie and I suggested she sit for a while and maybe we can find her some help.
She said she was cold and hungry and didn’t know were to go. She asked for some food.
This is where my Melodie and I realized we were not prepared for our guest.
-
Our spur of the moment homeless guest kit ended up including these things:
- One blanket for her to wrap around her for warmth.
- One sleeve of Ritz crackers.
- One hot cup of tea with milk, no sugar (her choice on the sugar).
- One phone book where we could find organizations prepared to help.
In the end we think things turned out ok. She wasn’t willing to work with the New Directions place for women in abusive relationships. They were asking her two many questions and she didn’t trust them. But she was willing to talk to the police. We got a sheriff to come out and meet her so that she could go warm up at the police station and hopefully get connected with the local shelter or a similar organization.
What do you have in your Homeless Visitor Emergency Kit? I think Melodie and I will update our kit.
Arby's free Sandwich
I tried Arby’s new sandwich today because of the coupon below. I think the drink cost $1.50 for a small (which is the size of a medium 20oz) or $1.70 for a medium (which is the size of a large drink 32oz).
The sandwich was good. I didn’t look at the normal price though so I don’t know if I’d buy it once it isn’t on sale.
If you want to try it the coupon link is below. It is good until 3/20.
