Yeah, Im still alive. I’m going to R&D (Ripoff and Duplicate) Alex’s last post as I have a lot to do still this afternoon. So here it is.

• Going to College to get my Bachelor of Science in Technical Management from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Taking MGMT 201 Principles of Management and actually having a lot of fun. It’s all online which works out since I get to work so early. Been maxing out all my points so far so pray that doesn’t change.
• Been riding in a VanPool. So much more relaxing. I get to sleep on the way to and from work unless I’m driving which is rare. The thing that does suck though is that we leave the Winchester area at 4:45-5:00 in the morning. The cool thing is I’m usually home before 4 pm when Nanny Irene leaves.
• Nanny Irene ROCKS! Ryan loves her and she and Stephanie get along really well. She makes life so much less stressful around the Stout House! THANK YOU to Nanny Irene and to those who are helping us out with her.
• Work sucks. Work Rocks. I don’t know. Finally making progress on the class that I was sent down there to establish. It has been sitting dormant way to long! I still feel like I’m beating my head against a brick wall sometimes, but I’m going to eventually get through. Chain of Command has been re-arranging a little and hopefully that will make life a little easier. I don’t know. I still have my issues and probably shouldn’t say much.
• Politics. Don’t go there. I have some very strong opinions.
• What’s with all the spam the blog gets? Askimet is doing a good job but geez!
• Stephanie thought the Washing Machine was broke. I fixed it.
• We had a garage sale. Stephanie rocked and sold a lot of stuff. I love you babe! Thank you for letting me keep my Mac OS 8.0 Sherlock t-shirt!
• Father’s day weekend was really cool. Headed down to Borrego Springs and paid my respect to my Grand-Mother. Got to introduce the family to her and such. Visited the old house which looks sad in comparison. Went out to Font’s Point and suffered in the heat as I remembered the day we spread some of her ashes there. Went to the visitor’s center and found out the paleontology lab that she and pop-pop started is blowing up in popularity and use. So happy.
• BUSINESS IS ROCKING! We’ve had some huge growth in our business! We’re looking for a new name for the website. Any idea’s? Going to be showing the plan to some folks here on Tuesday night. If you’re interested let me know.
• I so need to get together with Alex, Don, Jon, and many of my local friends here. I also need to get together with Tom and Jay as soon as possible. Why can’t they live just accross town instead of out of town? Ahh…Did get to see Christi & Josh last night. That was awesome!
• I miss my parents. I miss the lake. Water level is supposed to be down way low this year but I still want to go. We will go for my High School reunion in August. Yes, I’m getting old. Shut up.
• Going to Disney World in September and finally getting to see the in-laws place in Tennessee it looks. That’s still developing but can’t wait for the vacation.
• MY FAMILY ABSOLUTELY ROCKS! Twins are growing, smiling and developing that personality. Ryan is going to be Two in like a week. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! Love it. My wife, well Babydoll, you’re AMAZING!

Well, that’s about it for now. Here’s a little thing that I actually got from my class. Hope you enjoy and see you all soon!

While Stephanie is in the hospital baking those buns, I have to try to keep the house moving. One of the things that needs to be kept up on is our business. Stephanie and I have started a business that is much like Amazon. We have what’s called “Affiliate Marketing,” which means we can sell items (like Amazon.com) and not handle any merchandise. That last part I like the most! I would like to ask you my friends and family, to stop buy our website when you’re shopping online first before you hit up Amazon.

Snapshot of Stout's Online Warehouse

Here are some of our Exclusive  Items that you can’t buy anywhere else (even on Amazon):

• Nutrilite® is the world’s leading brand of vitamin, mineral, and dietary supplements, grown harvested, and processed on its own certified organic farms.
• Nutrilite® Sports Nutrition products for energy, strength, hydration, recovery, and daily nutrition.
• Artistry® is one of the world’s top five largest-selling prestige brands of facial skin care and colour cosmetics.
• XS® Energy Drinks provide great tasting, sugar-free, low-calorie blasts of energy.
• Perfect Empowered Drinking Water™ A refreshing drinking water infused with MBO™, a proprietary process that stabilizes oxygen in the water.

Some of our Affiliates:

• Barnes & Noble

• Hickory Farms
• Musicians Instrument Store
• Office Depot
• Shop.com
• Sports Authority
• Things Remembered
• T-Mobile (12% discount!)
• Travelodge
• Many MORE!

You can set up a monthly shipment for all of your high use items that save you time and money running to the store. I can provide you with cost comparisons sheets to the store in your local area too if you would like. I recently ordered all of our dried goods for shopping through our own website and had it all delivered to my door (FREE SHIPPING too…) and it was like Christmas. It’s so convenient as I hate going to the grocery store unless I have too.

We ask that you stop buy the Stout’s Online Warehouse and just make that your point of purchase. We have everything from Toilet Paper to Ammunition. If you would like to know how to be a part of this, please leave a comment, and I’ll e-mail ya back!

Mr. Ragamuffin posted this and Mr. Betterthanbank posted this today & I thought it was a great idea – so I’m participating. Here’s what he said:

Whenever you ask people where they are FROM, there is always some followup statement that sounds something like…
“Oh, but I grew up in LA” or “Oh but I grew up in New York”.
Like they somehow must right the wrong in their lives that has led them to Des Moines, IA.
So.
In order to cut down on the banter…
Where did you “grow up” and was your childhood culdesac as rad as the kids on E.T. had it?

So the official answer for me? Reno, Nevada! I lived in St. Thomas, USVI for the first year or so of my life, but moved to Reno when I was one. I lived in this house till I joined the Navy.

My parents have since remodeled it and it doesn’t even look like the same house anymore. I’m suprised that Google had this recent of a picture. Anyway, my parents still live there (for the most part) and spend a lot of their time at Tahoe too. I grew up there as well, but I can’t really say I lived there till I was 17. My parents rented out a little cabin in the “woods” that I can’t remember the address too. Anyway, I was only there during the summers. When I was 16, I pretty much lived on our boat in Tahoe City during the Summer. That was fun too. For the most part, Reno is my home. Tahoe is where my heart is. Anyway…

I so need to be doing other things right now. Where did you grow up?
