J.R.'s Family Bar-B-Q

The brisk weather has moved into Oklahoma and last night was the first night in a long while that we had to turn our heat on in our home. Nonetheless we're expecting another great day here in Norman, home of the Oklahoma Sooners who travel to Lubbock to take on Texas Tech, who are coached by the "Mad Professor"  Mike Leach who calls out his player's "fat girl friends," this Saturday morning at 11:30. I'm hoping to make the trip but as Dad used to say, "You can't get there from here."  Where there's a will there's a way.

We sure appreciate everyone's business and for those that visit our site, send in questions, etc but never place an order, we hope that you will join the ever growing list of our customers. 

I've been checking into shipping to Canada via Federal Express and the VAT taxes among other additional charges really make sending packages to Canada expensive. There is no way we can offer free shipping to Canada, I wish that we could, but it simply isn't feasible. I am guessing that with shipping charges, VAT, customs fees and all the other things that the government charges us the shipping fees would run around $30 for a small package to approximately $50 for a package that weighs over a pound or two. We still aren't there but I wanted those of you that have asked to know  that I haven't forgotten about this matter.

Busy Wednesday for yours truly with doctor's appointments and more of them tomorrow. Just what I wanted but at least I have OU vs. Texas A&M here in Norman Saturday night.    

There's good news in that our on line business is starting to pick up! All the sales packages are here on the site as I invite you to take a stroll through our store where many of our offers come with FREE SHIPPING but some also have a deadline because of the upcoming holidays. Thanks for considering us for us for your holiday gift giving needs.

It's another week which means that every day is a good day to be above ground.

Thanks for stopping by and paying us a visit. I returned in good shape with Sooners on their team plane LATE Saturday night after OU lost to long time rival Nebraska 10-3.

We have three new offers available now in our on line store that I hope that you'll check out. Also remember that our products make great stocking stuffers and if you are looking for multiple, unique gifts for large groups of family, friends and employees or co-workers that our case priced products that offer FREE shipping are great ideas.

Get your order in early and avoid the last minute holiday shipping frenzy. Plus, to personalize your cookbooks I need a little time. Order away!

Greetings everyone and thanks for stopping by our site. It's another beautiful day and I remain patient and vigilant that the facial nerves on the right side of my face will come to life any time now. Bells palsy has been around for at least 200 years with no known cure or cause. The last thing someone in my position should do is to stress over something that one can't affect. So I don't. No timeline...no new news...no worries. 

Life is good. Here's some BBQ'ed random thoughts....  more »

It's "hump day" and the day that I will do two radio shows, one at 3:30 central on 1400 KREF here in Norman and then at 5 p.m. on www.1560thegame.com on the highly rated Sean and John show. 

We're working on some new offers in our on line store as we gear up for the holidays. I will be personally, autographing JR's Cookbook which means that I will customize it to your order. We will begin this in a few days but it will be for a limited time only and will end on December 12. So if you have a wrestling fan in your midst and want me to personalize them a JR's Cookbook now is your chance. These books will be $19.88 and that includes FREE SHIPPING in the USA.

We're also going to do a 1560 The Game Blitz Package with our pals down in Houston that includes 1 bottle of HOT JR's BBQ Sauce that will be signed by yours truly, a bag of our awesome Beef Jerky and a FREE sample of our JR's Dry Rub. This one will sell for $15.60 and includes FREE SHIPPING. 

Stay tuned for all the great specials coming your way and I have decided to keep our Power Slam, Triple Threat and Jerky Mania offers up and running thru the holidays but I do encourage you to shop early.

Happy Tuesday...good of you to check out our site. We appreciate the visit and hope that you consider placing an order while you are here.

As you can see, I'm blogging more than normal because of my decreased travel schedule these days. Blogging keeps me busy plus I enjoy writing.

We've updated our Q&A Section of the site FYI.

I'll also be writing later today for WWE.com about Raw and other WWE oriented things. I hope that you'll pay them a visit.

Good day everyone! Hope everybody's well and thanks for stopping by our site. 

It was really a beautiful weekend in Norman, Oklahoma Saturday and Sunday which turned into a fun, football weekend, too. Nice win by OU against a much better than expected, well coached K-State team Saturday and now it's on to the great football town of Lincoln, Nebraska this Saturday night for another chapter in the OU-Cornhusker rivalry. I hope to attend my first ever game in Lincoln if all goes well this week on the health front. That's one of my goal's for the week...feel good enough to make the trip up I35 north to Huskerland. 

Business has been steady in our on line store and many orders will be sent out today via Federal Express. It looks as if we will likely not be able to guarantee Holiday orders to be delivered before Xmas that are placed with us AFTER December 17 or so. We're still working on that exact date but let's use December 17 for now and I hope we can encourage you to not only use our products for unique and affordable holiday gifts but to order early to make sure that you get delivery of your products.
