To marketers you don't really die until 36. 

18-26 = trend setters.  27-35 = have money to blow.  36 = go die in a fire.

Sad but true.  I find media less and less appealing and one day I realized it was because it isn't targeted at me anymore. 

In other words everything now sucks because you didn't consult me.  ;)

Last night a hot water pipe burst in my ceiling.. it was raining in my bathroom, coming out the door frame, light fixtures, speakers, fan, and then running down the walls and coming out the floor.  I was able to fix the burst fitting but now I have about 10 hours of drywall work to do once the rest of it dries out...

At 6 am this morning my cell phone rings.. I don't get up until about 6:45, so I groggily answer.  It's the service guy for the fridge, asking me to verify my address.  I asked why he was calling so early.  He said the apt was set for between 8 and 10..
yeah, it's 6 am.
No, it's 8 am.
Uh... Where are you?
Michigan..
Uh, yeah, I'm in Montana
he reads off the address.. got the street right, and the city and state started with the right letters, but otherwise they missed the mark by about 1500 miles.
So at 8 I call the place Lowes scheduled for me.  They don't service Montana.  So I call Lowes back.  Oops, sorry, we got your zip code wrong so it went to the wrong service company.

Got it rescheduled for tomorrow, so one more friggin day listening to the airplane in my kitchen.  I mentioned to the Lowes guy that most of the food in my freezer was thawed out, so he sent me the form for claiming food loss (part of the warranty).  Gotta provide receipts.  Who keeps their grocery receipts until after the food is eaten?  It's in the freezer so it will last for weeks and months.. So now I gotta go back and find receipts (I haven't emptied the trash next to my nightstand and all that's in there is receipts I throw out every night, so I probably have some I can use.)  Guess I will be getting the max $250 back since I can find receipts for that much frozen food from the last 35 days since I bought the fridge.  Downside is there really is some food that is closer to refrigerator temp than freezer temp, even though the freezer is set to -3 degrees.  It's still cold enough to not go bad, but once a frozen pizza thaws out that much you're better off throwing it out.  The expensive stuff (frozen meat) is in the bottom drawer, and that stuff is still frozen solid, but I suppose it will have thawed out as far as they know.

If you do all your shopping at the same place and have a discount card, they might be able to reprint all your receipts at the customer service desk.
I'd try that before bothering with the trash and nightstand.

Yep..knew both Jim and Linda...what about Brad Thill and Tye Card?

Brad is still here. Tye saw the writing on the wall a few months ago and left before the bottom dropped out. I'm sure he is much happier than the lot of us back here.


My new employer overlords are currently in a discussion about eliminating my position or reassigning it to Texas. That is actually good news at this point. They just implemented a mid year change of our health program, which I didn't know they could legally do. Now, if I still want medical coverage for my family it will cost me an additional $500 a month out of my paycheck. I could shut down my electrical, gas and water for my house and not make up the difference. ---uvulas--- couldn't even wait til January to dick with our benefits. Word is they are eliminating our time off next. I have 1 month banked for my leave for the baby, and I just know those ---punks--- are gonna take it away.

San Antonio was alright, we both miss it.  Just big enough to have everything, not so big as to be constantly painful.  If the career options for us had been better, we would have stayed.  It is very family oriented so probably a good place for kids, too.  You could do a lot worse on a transfer.

Spent 40 minutes this morning driving to work, seeing an empty parking lot, and driving back home.  I don't know how I forgot about the holiday.  I knew about it when I went to bed last night.

To be fair, the name of the holiday is misleading for a day off.

I hope in the future, that Labor Day will live up to its name.  That there will be enough automation that we only have to work one day a year.

Due to a questionable ebay item description I'm playing twin hawk instead of twin hawk II on my cab...

Only thing that sort of makes up for it is its playable with the same monitor settings as Aero Fighters

We skipped over spring this year, it's been hot since march. I think this winter will be lame. I want some snow. Now crazy snow, but just enough that it's fun to play in.

After 2 out of 3 years of record snowfall, I just want a regular winter.. A few inches of snow every week or two and never below -10F.  When we get 120 inches of snow that lasts for 5 months straight with several -35F days I start to wish the 90+ degree days would last a little longer.  These days I am happy if we get more than a week of Spring and Fall weather (75 in the day, 50 at night).  Seems to go from -10 one day to 90+ the next.

Ah, ---fudgesicle--- it...


Your cruel device,
 Your blood like ice.
 One look could kill,
 My pain, your thrill.

 I wanna love you, but I better not touch (don't touch)
 I wanna hold you, but my senses tell me to stop
 I wanna kiss you, but I want it too much (too much)
 I wanna taste you, but your lips are venomous poison

 You're poison runnin through my veins
 You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains.

 Your mouth, so hot
 Your web, I'm caught
 Your skin, so wet
 Black lace on sweat

 I hear you callin and it's needles and pins (and pins)
 I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
 Don't wanna touch you, but you're under my skin (deep in)
 I wanna kiss you, but your lips are venomous poison

 You're poison runnin through my veins
 You're poison, I don't wanna break these chains
 Poison
