For those of you that are so lost in the internet that you have found your way here, you have just stumbled upon the completely random gripe pad for me.  My name is Aubrey Power.  I am a parent of seven kids along with my lovely wife Alison in DFW. 

Second to my family, two of the things I find joy in are sweepstakes and standing up for consumer rights.  The latter is a trait that I picked up from my mother but I think it has moved its way up in importance the older I get and the more I see it moving the other direction.  What you can expect to find here is a sounding board for both.  The sweepstakes stuff because I don't like to be negative on the sweepstakes sites I go to when I don't win stuff.  It brings a cloud with it that brings down the mood for some of the fine folks that are much more dedicated to sweeping than I am and I won't be that guy.  The consumer gripes will be more of a place where I can say what I'm thinking and read it when I'm further detached so I can work out what the next course would be.  I'm sure that it will also include me bookmarking good deals I find on random stuff.

If you got here because you lost peripheral vision while typing in a website because of a migraine, take a couple of Excedrine and my apology for making it worse.  You can direct your browser to google and search for a blog that isn't random and will be more interesting than listening to the Police scanner.  If you found your way here because you wanted to see what I have to say, direct your browser to the same location but, this time, make the search be for mental help.

Enjoy

Aubrey
