PGA Charity Challenge – Master

Ever since I followed the link from Ed’s Blog to the PGA Charity Challenge Online Golf Game, I have been playing a few holes whenever I can. It is the most realistic, awesome FREE online game I have seen….you must check it out! Tonight, I obtained the “Master” rating level (sub 200 score) with my 192 (cumulative distance from the pin for 9 holes)…which was with 15 penalty points for hitting 3 fringe shots!

Here’s a few screenshots from the game, and my scorecard. If you sign-up (FREE) add me (TysonH) as a Friend and let me know your username so I can keep track…it’s awesome fun!

Pre-Approved!

I’m so tired of getting the mail, pulling out the 2-5 letters for Pre-Approved Credit Card offers, opening them, shredding the inserts, and tossing the rest! I decided to hopefully stop receiving most of those, wasting my time, saving trees, and saving on waste. OptOut Prescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry website to Opt-Out or Opt-In (why?!) of offers of credit or insurance.

Go Green, and Opt-Out like I did!

Wacky – Kitten Wars

BlueStarToday’s Wacky site is a fun one: Kitten Wars – Where you decide which kitten wins the side-by-side battles of who’s cuter.

I just added our “warrior”, back when she was so cute and innocent! (those days are long past!)

New addition – Wacky Web sites!

I bought my new page-a-day calendar for this year after searching for something different and fun. Well, my Wacky-Web site of the Day calendar has been quite fun and I decided I need to share some of these with everyone! I’ll post the good ones, so now you have a reason to check out the Blog everyday….there might be a Wacky Web site!

I’ll post a few today from the first 10 days of January, but going forward I’ll post individually.

  • Resolution Inspiration – A gallery of Weight Watcher’s food cards from 1974! Whoa!
  • Celebrities Eating – Celebrities caught in the act of their daily consumption.
  • Presidential Makeovers – Some good(and bad) Photoshop makeovers of the dignitaries, HA!
  • Bean Encounters – See all the places a can of S&W Black Beans have been…and learn some little known facts from places all around the world.
