Blood Pressure
After a stressful day or arguing about our depressong financial outlook, we went to wegmans. Apparently, arguing and stressing out makes your blood pressure go up. Mine jumped like 20 pts to 104, lol. The result of today is that we are officially poorer than the poor with no debt but we are not moving to Nonnas house.

Watermelon Hubba Bubba Gum
Does anyone else rememer watermelon hubba bubba gum? It was so soft and chewy and green striped on the outside and yummy pink sugary goodness in the middle. I can almost taste it whlel writing this.

Apparently, they went out of business in 1994 and then returned in 2004 under wrigley's as hubba max but now it is strawberry mixed with watermelon flavor. You should check out their page it is very entertaining and interactive.

I tried their new watermelon gum log pictured below and it was disgusting. I just want the old gum back.

Nonna's house - Cleanout
I am spending the day with my mother going through Nonna's stuff. I also found out the whole apartment has that really nice wooden floor under it. I think moving here wouldn't be so bad, if we could redo it a bunch.

We found lots of stuff. In fact, Nonna actually collected every ticket stub for everytime she used any type of transportation. You should see the graphic design from the travel industry in the 1960s. I would say it is even better than now. My mom wants (e:matthew) to make a nonna trnaportation themes cut out from them.

I got a blood pressure machine and a digital thermometer. No more need for a doctor. I also got my mom's old teeth.

Bye Bye Dream job
I had found an amazing PHP/MySQL programmer job and had gotten to the point where it looked promising and I had an interview at the studio set up for Thursday. Then I went to look up the address and realized it was not in Buffalo but rather in Syracuse. In my excitement I somehow mixed up Franklin Street in Buffalo with Franklin Square in Syracuse!

My life is just a series of cruel job dramas. Anyone want to hire an accomplished PHP, MySQL, D/XHTML, javascript, CSS programmer and graphic designer for steady work in Buffalo?

Ebay Sales
I am so angry that I sold my new/old tablet PC on ebay for too cheap $249.00 . I used to sell so much stuff on ebay. The original pre 2003 code for this site started that way actually, lol. I don't think any of it is left now. Maybe a bit here or there.

I never thought someone pay the buy it now price for the fujitsu that I paid for it. I guess it is good to break even but still it makes me sad to say goodbye. Selling stuff on ebay is so freakin' easy, if you never tried it you should. It was a seven day sale and it was sold the night I posted it.
