I love my netti petti

My netti petti is awesome! I have been using it two days and no longer have a soar throat from talking all day at work and I can breath so much better. Because I am getting more oxygen I feel more energetic and happier than I have in a long time. I really had no idea how bad my sinuses were! It's just like a tea pot that has a spout and you pour the saline solution in one nose and out the other.

There are ants ALL over my kitchen (old apt). It seems most people in old homes have ant problems.

What is with these new parking meters all over? What a waste of money. Who wants to walk almost a block away to get a ticket and then back again to put it on your dashboard in the winter so that you can park on the street?

I have to admit that I found it kind of disturbing when I saw it because I didn't understand why you were using it. It seems like we had a conversation about the Enola Gay before but I couldn't remember what was said or why we even talked about it. Here is a clip of OMD on youtube. :::link:::

lady, these are available just about anywhere. I'm sure if you can get some birth control over the counter they will have them in Dohar as well. If you can't find one I can see about sending you one if you want. I'm not sure if the parking machines are all over the city but on my way home from work I saw them on Allen and on Elmwood.

felly, it is good im leaving. Those ants wont go away even after I cleaned the whole kitchen last night. I don't want to, but I think I will have to get an ant trap.

ladycroft writes at 08:13:41 06/06/08 - Comment #35795: 1. where did you buy this netti thingy? i seriously need one, the sand is killing me here!

2. really? buffalo put those ticket meters all the way through the city? they had em downtown (and it sucks when one of the machines is broke).

uncutsaniflush writes at 01:42:18 06/06/08 - Comment #35787: I think I saw this photo again around the time Paul Tibbetts, the man in the photo and the pilot of the Enola Gay, died last year. The photo was taken right before the plane took off to bomb Hiroshima.

The plane is named after his mother. And the bomb, itself, ironically enough was called "Little Boy." I like the OMD song of the same name.

I'm a pacifist. I don't think that there any such thing as a "just war". I believe, as Ghandi said, that the ends and means are linked morally. I use the photo with a deep sense of irony.

I think it is a interesting photo. Tibbetts is waving. Without knowing the context, no one would guess he would soon be on his way to destroy an entire city and kill many thousands of people.

libertad writes at 12:42:50 06/06/08 - Comment #35785: You are so right uncutsaniflush, my reference to the Netti Petti was the Netti Pot. I'm just curious...why do you have the Enola Gay as your userpic?

uncutsaniflush writes at 12:07:13 06/06/08 - Comment #35783: If memory serves, Toronto and Hamilton in Ontario have had similar parking kiosk machines since at least the turn of the century when I first noticed them. So, if one were so inclined, one could say that once again Buffalo is copying Toronto. And, again, if memory serves, Downtown Buffalo near City Hall has had them since about 2005.

As for people, being unwilling to walk in the winter to pay for parking, the City of Buffalo is A-OK with that. That's why there is a Parking Enforcement Department. The City makes more money from a parking ticket than it does from someone paying the meter.

(e:libertad) - What in the world is a "netti petti". Both Google and Wikipedia don't give me a clue other than netti petti is a Finnish and/or Hindi phrase. From the context, I wonder if you are referring to a Neti Pot :::link:::

paul writes at 11:11:34 06/05/08 - Comment #35779: Think about it, its also a huge waste of paper. And what else is obviously a money maker for them is there is never any left over time. You drive away with your pass so the next person has to pay to part from scratch. In the current system you almost always had some time left over from the last person.

Piss off

My move date has been postponed for two weeks so that the new apartment can have some work done. I couldn't even have imagined a better scenario. The landlord really wants to get the smell out because it bothered us so much. Not only did he agree to let me rip out the carpets and have the hardwoods sealed with polyurethane but he also is taking out half of the dry wall and all of the ceramic tile floor in the bathroom so that the cat piss smell will be addressed fundamentally. The sub-floor will be able to be cleaned and then sealed. I really do not expect to smell any cat urine after this is all done.

Not only the bathroom is being re-done but we also have a brand new porch! The entire thing is rebuilt! It is going to be awesome. We also have brand new appliances. We painted the mint-ting-a-lang walls to something very neutral and really brings out the wood work. I have already done so much cleaning and have moved in half of our stuff thanks to Steve's brother and his fiancee, Mandy, our friend lauren and (e:mike). Thanks! We got the new fridge and oven and they are so awesome. I am so happy to be moving into this place when only a week ago I felt so defeated. I really felt so let down and unhappy and now it has all turned into a benefit. We were able to get refunded on half a months rent and were permitted to stay another half month in our current place. I really could not imagine it being any better than this a week ago today. At one point Steve and I were going to baill and lose all of our money and risk being sued so that we would not have to move in there.

As far as my previous cat hating post yes it was a bit harsh against the kitties. They really don't deserve it. Nothing spells trash like cat piss though. All that being said Rabbit piss wouldn't be all that nice either! Really anyone who sees animals not being cared for should call the authoritay!
