The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Who doesn’t love a delicious homemade chocolate chip cookie?

Web Watch tends to buy ours at the store, but that doesn’t stop us from enjoying the hard work that others put into baking us delicious treats.  In fact, as we type this we are anticipating our annual delivery of homemade cookies from some friends who pride themselves on making the BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES EVER… but only choose to do so once a year, in order to make them even more special for those of us who receive them.

Are they good? Definitely.  Could they be better?

Things to do in Las Vegas for Women ONLY

Who doesn’t love a good escapist vacation to Las Vegas?

Granted, it all depends on whether you can appreciate everything that Las Vegas has to offer, whether it be the gambling, the sun, the food, the celebrity sightings, the nightclubs, or the random hook-ups with complete strangers resulting in waking up in a bathtub with a note about how your kidney was stolen and sold on Craigslist.

It happens.

The real reason why Santa’s reindeer stink

Everyone knows the song RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER.

But have you taken a really good listen to what the song’s actually about?  It’s very telling — not about Rudolph, but a better description of what the OTHER reindeer are actually like.

OMG! It’s the KITTEN BOWL!

It’s what some media analysts are already calling the SUPER BOWL SHOWDOWN OF THE CENTURY, and the NFL has absolutely nothing to do with this one.

It’s all about creating the most entertaining alternative programming during the annual Football Championship Game, and there’s a new challenger in place this time that is making a lot of noise.

The Most Hated Companies in America

If there’s one thing that Social Media has taught us it’s that people love to bitch about lousy customer service.  You don’t often hear people Tweeting about the awesome customer service that they receive (perhaps they’ll tweet about a news story about someone else getting some company loving, but it’s rarely from the recepient themselves).

What’s the old adage? If you like something, you’ll tell 5 people. If you hate something, you’ll tell EVERYBODY?

Want time to go faster? Change the way you look at the clock

You know the old saying, “time flies when you’re having fun”?

It’s not always the case, and you know it.  Sometimes time just drags on and on — but it’s really just an issue of mind over matter.  Time itself doesn’t change, it’s just your perception of it.

10 Reasons You Don’t want an Owl as a Pet

Web Watch has a friend who used to own a pet parakeet.

We say “used to”, as Alvin wasn’t very happy to be kept in his cage.  So every few days, our friend would let Alvin the Parakeet fly around the apartment – just because he could.

This arrangement seemed to work out well for Alvin.  Until one day when our friend opened up Alvin’s cage door like he has done dozens upon dozens of times before… and Alvin flew straight out the apartment’s sliding glass door that our friend inadvertently left open.

Whoops.

Alvin was never seen again.
