    WHEW!! THAT MADE ME FEEL SO MUCH BETTER

    Are we kidding here?

    Now the "Bigwigs" are trying to say we should feel sorry for the asshats because they didn't get their whole bonus. Are you serious? Excuse me! So they didn't get the 1.5 million that they were supposed to get. Hey, they only got $500 thousand.

    Yeah right, I think I'll go cry for them.

    TECH - NO - LOGY

    You get it yet?  Yah, well check out the "NO" that would be me. I have none of the above.  Or very little at least.

    I've had no Internet for 2 days. That was not my fault, nope, not this time. I called the ass hats from Comcast last week to report several issues with my Internet. By several I meant no Internet. Ok, they came out last Weds. my day off. Yes, I had to wait around all day for the idiots and no, the problem was not resolved in its entirety. I kindly asked them to switch out my modem because it was quite elderly and remember me, I have brand shiny new computers that are a part of the new century.

    The ass hat told me that all the equipment I had was top notch, blah freakin' blah.

    Anywho, cut to 4 days later and walaa, no Internets!

    I called the ass-hats again and they came out this morning. You don't really want to know what they replaced. If you guessed my 90 year old modem you would win.

    For this I lost money, had to take time off work for them to come and tell me the ONE thing I knew about technology. Karma is truly a bitch! The kind of bitch I have been all week to everyone. Yes she is! Payback is never pretty.

    So, now I have me my computer back.

    Moving on.

    Twitter, I mentioned this in one of my posts somewhere, hey, I'm still not that advanced.  Anywho, I signed on for the phone version, cause you know, I work and all and like to keep up with the "cool" people. Apparently, though they don't tell you, this costs eleventy billion $$$. Oh yes it does. I got my recent cell bill and omgwtf is all this shit. I was on a premium plan because of the twittering.

    Does it ever end?

    You don't eeeeven want to know how the rest of my month has been going.  Trust me it hasn't been pretty.

    The weather is ab- so -lute -ly freakin' awesome today, so I'll quit my bitching and go up on my deck and enjoy the rest of my day. There may or may not be wine involved cause I am off tomorrow!

    Tomorrow is another day and I'm going to try to get out of bed on the other side.

    DEEP IN DUNG

    For those paying attention, that would be SHIT!

    Oh yes, I am constantly knee deep in it. Doesn't matter if I am home, at work, or just strolling around the city. It finds me.  Honestly!

    Just trying to dig out. I'm sure I will eventually get there. Maybe.

    Just sayin'.

    CHANNELING LISA

    Karl. Buddy this one is for you!


    That virtual memorial service was awesome. I swear, you rule! Truly!

    Lisa would be so proud.  You took a horrible thing and turned it in to something that was the best. It was so nice talking to the blogosphere.

    Tug, thank you for encouraging me to make that phone call. It was very cathartic. You absolutely HAVE to get your butt out here for Blogher.  You must!  BlondeBlogger, you too!  I'll pay for your gas.  Bring the kids. I'll babysit. Or I'll pay for them to go to Blogher as well. They do have babysitting at Blogher. Seriously, they really do!

    It really is amazing how things happen.  Karl, I am serious.  I can't even imagine how much time and effort it took to put all this together.  I, for one so appreciate your effort.

    OK...leaving my soapbox now.  Thanks again, it was a pleasure talking to all of you out there in blogosphere.  You guys rule, at least in my book!

    My offer stands.  I have rooms, showers, free coffee,free whatever happens to be in my fridge that day for food, email me and I will give you the address.  If you can find a way to get here, I'm in.

    In all seriousness (is that even a word?) who cares, they might even have scholarship money for people who want to come but cannot afford it.  Not sure, but I will email them and ask.  I do know that we can donate to Blogher for babysitting, so maybe.

    Anywho, I'm off and running to my next adventure, not sure where, just know it will be fun!

    Oh, and wine, I do have wine!  Always!  Hey, that matters.   Yes?

    SO MUCH TO TELL, SO LITTLE TIME

    Sheesh! What didn't happen this week. Month or whatever.

    First and foremost I want to publicly say here and now, I'm not fond of the time changing. Just sayin'. Hey, I'm old and need every available hour I have coming to me. It just isn't fair.

    When I was a whole hell of alot younger it never phased me. It actually always brought me closer to, well you know, getting older.  

    Getting older was my job when I was young (er).

    My mom died when I was 14 and I was shifted from place to place. Who wanted the troubled teenager this week? That was the game we played. Or really that they played.

    I always said, I can't wait until I'm 21 and no longer a "problem" to anyone.

    Well, funny how that always comes back to bite you in the ass isn't it? Here I am! All "growed" up and not happy so much about that. Sometimes life can be cruel. No?

    Alrighty, moving on.

    Lisa  died this past weekend. I swear,I didn't know what to do with myself. That is one hard thing about the blogosphere. I wanted to go to everything. Hell, I'm not sure I even knew where she lived. I read her blog faithfully and now, well where is the closure? Oh, I know, I can send food via the blog and flowers and whatnot. I wanted to go and hug those girls. I wanted to let Dude know that his wife was an awesome lady and that I will miss the hell out of her. Sometimes, once again, life can suck.

    We soldier on. Right? Life is for the living, blah freakin' dah!

    On a happier note.....It is Friday and I have no travel plans. Why is that good news you ask. Um hello, sleeping in! Like Tug always says, o'dark 30 comes around awful early! Just sayin'.

    Ok kiddos, you all have a very awesome weekend. Make hay while the sun shines cause we are all going to lose an hour!

    In honor of Lisa, make every single second count!

    R.I.P LISA

    I never met you in person but we had some chats via email. You were one positive person. You will be missed.

    My heart goes out to Dude and the tweens. Please know that you guys are in my prayers.

    Karl, you too are one awesome person. Those of us out here in blogoshpere really did appreciate all your updates on Lisa. I know it was very hard for you to do that.

    Lisa, give my hubs a big hug from us. I'm glad that your pain has ended.

    CHEATERS

    Honestly! I swear. Why can't people just tell it like it really is.?

    Twitter offers you to twitter from your phone. What they fail to tell you is that you WILL pay gobs of money to do this.

    They make it seem like it is all ok to just twitter from your phone if the computer is just, you know, not available. Liars!

    It costs lots of $$$$ to twitter from the phone. Just wanted you guys to know that.

    As%^^^^holes! Some people. Humph!

    OK as you were.

    That, and it really is raining cats and dogs here. Sheesh.

    I'm guessing this rain is so much better than snow. No? Yah, I thought so!

    I promise you, I have not been drinking. Just sayin'.

    PUTER...PUTER...ON THE WALL

    Whoops.....wrong fairytale.  It is however the right one for MEEEE!

    I have a brand spanking new computer and the good news is that it...really....does...work. Yippee.

    So, I must recap my entire month of purchases. Hey, when it rains, it freakin' pours. Right?

    New washer and dryer. OMG....seriously, who knew that these things could cost so much money. Now new computer, again the money thing. I know! I might actually end up selling pencils on the corner after all. Maybe.

    The sucky part is that I now have to start over with all my favorites, the bill paying online and wah! wah! wah!  I know, cry, cry. I had to say it.

    So my awesome blog peeps....I am back with a vengeance. I have been missin' mah peeps and their blog stories.

    I am now in heaven!

    WALMART

    Need I say more?

    Now I know why I haven't been there in almost a year.

    While some of the prices are very good there are many other reasons that Walmart has not been on my radar.  The key one being United Nations.

    I am so sorry people, but I swear to you I could not wait to get the hell out of there today. If it weren't for my $100 gift card I swear on all that is holy....I would have never gone there.

    I had to come home and immediately take a nap. That would be from the exhaustion of trying to figure out exactly what the hell anyone was saying or talking about.

    I am seriously not even going to kid you about this one.

    That, and I do have witnesses!  True story!

    By the way, there is not one Walmart right here, in the city, close to me.

    God is good!

    I apologize in advance if anyone is offended by anything I said.  I do want you to know that all of it is true. You know it is.

    Nuff said!

    BULLETS FROM A "BOOMER" TO THE YOUNGINS'

    JUST SAYIN'

    Irons:  Does anyone under the age of 30 even own one?  Is it fashionable these days to go to work with that I just got out of bed look?

    Manners:  Did I miss something along the way? Are we not using them anymore?

    Work Ethic:  Do you expect to get paid for just showing up?

    Slanguage:  Was grammar offered to you in school?  Did you refuse it?

    I can't lie, I am just a little frightened by what I'm seeing and hearing lately.

    That or I am really old?
