Bumper Sticker Continuation

· 🌡️ 0°F

Wowser I didn't realize my bumper sticker comment would illicit such responses. Just a few things. Most things are not actually metal anymore. When me and @paul went to put bumper stickers all over buffalo we found there are very few signs and lamp posts that bumper stickers will actually stick to. And i still think they were a good idea though kinda expensive. But it is time for some new strategies probably. Maybe I will try and think of some but as many of you know, I am pretty lazy.

Texty and Saving An Old Lady's Finances

· 🌡️ 0°F

I got more sad about losing my old phone when I realized old texts I had saved will be gone. I stupidly was thinking I oculd just forward tem to myself and forgot that my old phone lost its signal when I activated my new phone. At least they will always be in the old phone which I will keep forver and ever like everything else in my life.

I saved a lady like hundreds of dollars by helping her sign up for EPIC today. I love doing that. People get excited about that stuff. Especially when it is like between getting their medicine and eating and then I give them the opportunity to do both. Old ladies love that stuff.

Eckerd finally came through with a somewhat raise after all. I guess it is ok for now and I know my District Mangare fought really hard for it so that felt good but still I feel it is a stupid company yet I love it like an abusive lover.

I'm afraid people at work are gonna think I am on an amateur porn site and so I am not putting my bumper sticker on anymore for a little while. Too many customers mention it and I don't wnat the going to estrip.com and thinking I do that. ... well unless they are willing to pay me to see that...haha

I don't see the Golden Girls as much as I used to and I think that adversely affects my attitude.

Me and @terry are getting serious about pharmacy school. WOohoo!

New Cell Phone

· 🌡️ 0°F

So my old cell phone has been really broken more and more each day. It's most recent thing was answering and hanging up on people without even ringing so I never would know they called. 1-3 also didn't work and the power button only worked sporadically causing me to leave like 5 minute voice mails because I couldn't end the call.

Anywho, so I went to Sprint to get a new phone today and signed up for a new plan. I did'nt really like any of the phones. They all were bleh. I don't need/want a fancy like blackberry or anything. Just a simple flip phone with camera. My old phone had so many nice features that these don't have such as like showing the person's picutre on the outside, a camera with flash and a polar bear who did things like wear capes and pumpkin masks and shot you with a machine gun and ate hamburgers. This new phone has none of that. I don't know maybe I will return it for a different one. I think you get 14 days to change your mind.

Also, does anyone know of a way to transfer pictures from my old phgone to this one> i think it is impossible at this point but that is sad cuz there were so many good pictures I can never get back ever. : (

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

· 🌡️ 0°F

I love Thanksgiving. It just involves eating mass quantities of food after a night of drinking mass quantities of alcohol. What better kind of day could you ask for. Every year when setting up the tables we cannot figure out a way to make everyone fit. Seriuosly why can we not remember from year to year. It always takes forever and we come up with a totally new solution every year. You would think we could remember but we can't. It is really ridiculous. We have a completely new way of doing it this year so maybe @paul will post a pic when he comes alter. It really opens up the room a lot yet keeps everyone close together. I think it is the best possible setup. Ok everyone enjoy pigging out!

Rosie and OJ

· 🌡️ 0°F

So I am sure you all heard OJ's book deal and interview were cancelled due to the outrage. So I guess people talking about things does not always necessarily mean more money or more success for the thing being criticized. Sometimes outrage does make a idfference.

On another note: Rosie O'Donnell has gone whacko on the View. On Live with Regis and Kelly today Clay Aiken was filling in for Regis and he at one point covered Kelly Ripa's mouth with his hand. Kelly then said "don't do that I don't know where your hand has been"

On the View later that morning Rosie said that it was a super homophobic thing to say and that kelly was just saying that because people question Clay's sexuality. Ummm I tihnk Rosie is crazy. Like isn't her saying that almost more ridiuclous. Like making a big issue out of nothing. Kellyw as like um no it is cold and flu season and also just kidding and in general just you dn't know where anyone's hands have been. Rosie begs to differ. Rosie is crazy. End story.

Headed for financial ruin?

· 🌡️ 35°F

We are watching a show where like these people who spend way too much or can't handle money get an adivser to help them get their finances straight and then they get their dreams or something. Well this lady spends $2,000 a month on party/clothes. I thought wow that is crazy , then @paul noted that I spend a lot on that too considering I have very few expenses besides my student loans and car insurance and stuff but don't' pay to live so all the money I make goes to party/clothes well and numerous housewares for a home I don't have...

Christmas Time

· 🌡️ 41°F

WJYE 96.1 on the radio is now playing christmas music all the time. This seems really early to me. Yet I secretly love it and listen to it way too much probably. Though it seems like they are saving the better songs til closer to christmas (prolly like next week) . I secretly love christmas music and listen to it here and there all year long yet I still think this is early to go to a 24 hour christmas format. Maybe the moral of this story is I shouldn't be listening to WJYE so much anytime of the year...but hey it's got Delilah!

OJ insanity...

· 🌡️ 47°F

I can't believe noone else mentioned this. Have you all heard about his new book that comes out this week I believe. It is called something like "How I would have done it" and is a work of fiction about how he would have killed his wife and her boyfriend if he did it. Like he says it is a work of fiction. What a freakin whacko? Who after being put to trial about murder writes a book about how thye would have done it if they did it. Like that is still the mother of his children. I can't imagine if my dad wrote a book about how he would have killed my mom given the chance had she not already been slaughtered. Insanity! Freak! Whacko! FYI the woman interviewing him on his Fox interview is the publisher of his book. Yeah that sounds unbiased...

Calamari Genocide Continued

· 🌡️ 43°F

So I ate like 17 families of calamari while in Boston. And then tonight me and my e:mom went out to Left Bank for dinner cuz I owed her a dinner out from like a mother's day gift and my dad is out of town for the week. LEFT BANK IS SO TASTY! EVERYTIME I GO IT IS TASTY! Anywho we had fried calamari appetizer. And then I had this seafood pasta thing that was so friggin good I can't stand it. I only ate like half cuz it was so filling. it had like every kind of seafood in it. I think I am the reason they will be out of fish in like 2047 or whatever they are predicting. At least for calamari. They also had an amazing bread dipping oil. It was greatest ever.
