Toys “R” Us® Animal Alley

Animal Alley Plush Darby

Childhood Memories

Kids Preferred, Inc. is known for bringing products to the marketplace under its own brand and through private label programs such as “Animal Alley” for Toys “R” Us!

A short tale for parents looking for that special Animal Alley plush toy from Toys “R” Us! I hope it helps you find your child’s most favorite friend.

In March 2004, Evil and I took our son for his first childhood shots. An unhappy experience for everyone concerned. Of course the little Prince doesn’t remember anything about it, thankfully. But Mom and Dad sure do! So when your parents tell you “It hurt me more than you”, what they mean is, your folks keep that memory of fear and tears with them for the rest of their lives.

To celebrate his being a “big boy”, we took the little prince to our local Toys “R” Us®. We put him in the cart and started through the aisles. At some point we made our way down the stuffed animal aisle. Continue reading →

Superbowl XLVII – Results

Feb4

Ravens Overwhelm The 49’ers

Last night was the first good Superbowl game in a long time. But it didn’t start out that way. The first half seemed to be all Baltimore. They came to play and they were going to win big. There are enough people talking about the halftime show, so I’ll skip my commentary about that. Then the second half started and the Ravens came out like gang-busters!

Jacoby Jones of the Baltimore Ravens set an NFL postseason record with a 108-yard kickoff return to start the second half. As reported by ESPN:
Jones took the opening kickoff of the second half, a line-drive shot from David Akers, deep in the Ravens’ end zone and ran it the other way for the score, stretching Baltimore’s lead to 28-6.

And then…a few minutes later; the lights went out for San Francisco. Ok..so the lights went out for everyone as the stadium experienced a power outage. Stadium officials reported a feed into the stadium was disrupted, though they didn’t say what that disruption was. Rumor throughout the stadium, as reported by Nascar’s 2012 Sprint Cup Champion Brad Keselowski on Twitter was: Continue reading →

NFL Super Bowl XLVII

Evil Looks Over The Superbowl

I had a post written up for the conference week but I never posted it, but let’s not discuss that…

This week is the Superbowl and my predictions this week will be right on target. Maybe. Problem is, whenever I make a prediction about a B team, like Baltimore last week, they screw it up. At least I can’t go 0-2 this weekend.

Bottom line here, New England will not beat Atlanta in the Superbowl. Unless they do it out in the parking lot. Honestly, would love to see that.

My take:

Away	Home	Away	Home	Favorite	Line	O/U
Baltimore	San Francisco	20	23	San Francisco	3	43

Vegas this week:

Favorite	Line	O/U	Bet	O/U
San Francisco	3	48	Baltimore	Under

E.W.

I blame the Atlanta and New England for all the things that went wrong last week. Especially New England.

Celebrating A Milestone..or Two

Jan30

2001 Ford Mustang

Two Great Milestones Happened Today!

The first is a personal milestone..my little Pony Car and I reached it together this morning, 170,000 miles. I love my Pony car! We’ve gone through a lot together.

When I’ve been down, faced emotional brick walls and monumental challenges, I could put the top down, take a drive and things always seemed to get better.

She represents my freedom from an abusive ex-relationship and my independence; realizing I have nothing to prove to anyone but myself. I love my little Pony car. She’s always gotten me home safe and sound.

She hit 170,000 miles today and I had to mark the occasion. She’s been a great little car and at this point, I plan on keeping her for years and years to come.

The second milestone of the day……I received my very FIRST fan letter. All the way from Norway! From a great and talented lady! Thank you Rebecca for kind words and wonderful gift! It made my day!!

At the beginning of 2013 I set my motto for the year:
“I attract and acquire more happiness and financial abundance than I know what to do with“.

I got the Happy down….now…the financial abundance can start happening any time now..please. 😉

Our Blog Was Hacked

Jan29

Re-installation & Configuration

Is a total pain! On top of it, the backups I’ve been making haven’t backed up images or their placement. So after I waste the day fixing everything, I’ll have to research if there’s a way to make a full back up!

Then I have to figure out how it happened in the first place. Because the first thing you do when something like this happens, is to scan your pc for a virus and I’m clean. So how did this happen?

I’m so annoyed! I don’t have time for this.

An Update:
So it seems the xml backup works and does indeed capture the images. The problem is with the upload. Now get this…the upload changed the link to the images. It didn’t change the image file names, it changed the link on the posts to the image. WHAT? It added an ’11’ to the end of each src=”image” tag. If that isn’t the weirdest thing to do.

Now I’m on a search to find out if this was a unique issue, or if this has happened to others. And more importantly…is there a solution!!

2012 SuperBowl!

Jan22

Spring & The Prince Make Their Superbowl Picks!

We have several favorite teams in this house. My life long favorite team is the Redskins. Evil stands behind his Carolina Panthers. And the Prince has some how fallen in love with the Eagles.

But we have other favorites as well. The New Orleans Saints, who can’t love the underdog! Especially the underdog who made it big at a time when their city needed it the most. The Tennessee Titans. I was born in east Tennessee and I went to college there as well. So of course I’d support my “home” team. And then there’s….the Baltimore Ravens.

That makes this years Superbowl pick easy for me. I grew up outside of Washington DC and of course in our house the Skins reigned supreme. That also gives me a little bragging rights in the house since my team is the only one of our top three who made it into the playoffs.

But right up the road from my childhood home are our neighbors in Baltimore. They’ve always been someone we cheered for in our house. I’m excited they’ve made it to the big show! So there’s no statistical reason behind my pick. I’m simply going with passion and desire. Continue reading →
