Bill Website Frustation

aspx

When I spot this string of characters appended to the end of a web address (URL for geeks), it's usually a four letter harbinger of "this site's usability and functionality is gonna be sucktastic". If they appear on a site which is used for paying my bills online, it usually means I shouldn't even bother trying to pay my bills online, 'cause it ain't gonna work.

Pink Flamingos

Long time, no update. I should get better about that.

I'm looking for a tasteful gift for a housewarming party. Anyone know where in the Buffalo metropolitan area one can find a classic pink flamingo (WIKIPEDIA - Plastic_flamingo),

SC vs. NC



SC's finally eclipsed us NC folks in some area. The best our former senator could do is some cougar videographer. Meanwhile Sanford goes for Argentinian hotties. Bonus kudos if the whole affair involved an exceptionally well-done tango.

Fuckin' Beautiful

It's incubation of young minds like this that make me proud to be an alumnus of North Carolina State University.

Plumber Recommendations

The kitchen sink in our new place still doesn't work. After two weeks, we're still washing dishes in our bath tub, which is starting to feel real 19th century-like. The handyman guy who the landlord was gonna have come by today is absent, and we can take it any longer so we're going to hire someone ourselves and then deduct the bill from our rent.

Can anyone on estrip recommend a plumber they've had good experiences with?

Yitg'dal

I had this dread today that someone who I knew was on board the plane that crashed.

An hour or two ago I got an e-mail from my synagogue mailing list informing us that our cantor, Susan Wehle, died in the crash. I didn't know her very well, but she was a lovely person, had a beautiful singing voice, and was very enthusiastic about her job. She was the person who would have done the blessings at Ari's bris if the Rabbi weren't around last April.

We'll miss you, Susan.

Mittens for Kittens

Every time I hear talk for/against the stimulus package, this video I saw a year and a half ago keeps playing through my mind.



I hope for all our sakes that President Obama will be careful to strategically place bacon in the right areas to fix the economy and not listen to stupid people who would dilute the spending into powerlessness.

Winging a guess

I'm at Duff's right now my car's getting some maintenance. And while I am looking at my plate of wings I ponder one of the great mysteries of life: why is something as bad for you as wings almost always served with celery? I've never understood it. Are you supposed to eat the celery and then pretend that it balances out the enormous amount of fat you've put into your arteries? Or is there some more sinister purpose for this bizarre paradox?

Confirmation that I'm not some weirdo for being intensely annoyed by the Toyota Commerical.
