Yay for Tina Fey!
Sorry guys they took the video down because of copy right infringement. Oh well. At least I got to see it this AM!! I replaced the video with a pic.

In case anyone missed this Saturday Night Live skit like I did. She did a great job with the Sarah Palin's voice. Clearly she already had the looks! How awesome.

hilarious. I missed this, so glad that you posted about it (thanks (e:mike) for providing another viable link!). Fey and Poehler are always cracking me up.
mike - 09/14/08 14:18

Rain, rain go away
image

I'm so sick of the rain and dampness. Everything feels so wet in my house.


We are forecast to have sunny days this coming week but it doesn't seem like it with that map. It looks like we are just going to be pounded with more and more rain. Even if we do have some sunny days coming up it looks like we will be hit with the last of Ike unless the jet stream changes dramatically.

Northern and Southern Erie counties are under flood watch right now.


tinypliny - 09/14/08 13:11
I HATE rain and dampness as well. 8/
vincent - 09/14/08 02:32
Although it is wet the air does feel like of neat in an unique way. I think the rain that we are experiencing was a system that started out over the Pacific out by Baja.

Spiders
So I have a problem with spiders in my house and I was looking for a way to fix it naturally and I found this....

It is from ehow.com


Instructions
Difficulty: Easy
Things You'll Need:

* plastic spray bottle - garden type
* large canning Jar (glass or plastic with lid)
* old blender
* spiders (fresh and dead)
* Water
* Pantyhose
* Funnel

Step1
Capture spiders or kill and place in a jar. Get as many as possible from your immediate area as those are the ones you want to repel. 15+ is a good number.
Step2
Add warm water to the jar so that you have at least 3 cups of water covering.
Cover and swish lightly.
Step3
Now the tough part.
Pour spiders and liquid into the blender.
Puree on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute
Step4
Place panty hose (or long cut off toe section) ovee the top of the blender after removing the lid.
Step5
Place funnel into mouth of spray bottle and slowly pour the blender contents in. This will leave remains in the stocking and allow all liquid to pass to the spray bottle.
Step6
Discard stocking and place sprayer onto the spray bottle.
Step7
Mist along all windows, doors, attic vents, porch under roofing, attic spaces, boat spaces -- anywhere you want the spiders to find new places to live.

Normally within a week you'll be virtually if not fully spider free.

Just so you all know I am not going to try this remedy. I don't know if you all think I am so heartless jerk or not! You might love spiders but I am sure nobody would like the ones that I have found crawling all over the place. The spiders in my back room look like the ones that are only around lakes and other water. Truly shocked at their size! I did get a spider bite once and it stayed for probably two months. This one woman I knew she got one and her whole arm turned leathery and gross. Anyways, I probably won't do anything cause there is only so much time in the day to do all the stuff that needs to be done. There are more remedies I haven't shared but seem interesting and much more pleasant. Probably they will just go away for the winter. I haven't seen any spiders at Roswell. Paul is probably right that there is food for them to eat so that is why they are here. The bugs fly in from the gaps between my screens and windows. My apartment really seems cottage like to me and I am not so surprised by the spider infestation.
imk2 - 09/13/08 20:15
i think it's the season for spiders or something. we have a ton of spiders in our house too, and at roswell. do they hatch at the end of the summer? didn't charlotte in charlotte's web take place during the summer and didn't she die at the end of the summer right before her babies hatched?
metalpeter - 09/12/08 17:53
Just so you know in some cultures spiders are considered lucky.
tinypliny - 09/11/08 23:03
How weird. And somewhat evil. What if someone did that to humans. I bet that would work very well.
paul - 09/11/08 22:32
I love spiders. If you have a spider problem, it probably means you have a bug problem, otherwise they would move. If they leave you might end up with a bug problem, which I think - is way worse.
james - 09/11/08 22:24
what the heck?

Please photo document this and let me know how it works.
janelle - 09/11/08 22:15
I have happily switched to vinegar and baking soda for cleaning, but I absolutely could not do that.

So happy I don't have a spider problem.

St. Pete Pride 6/28
The UGLY
"I can justify myself before God" Larry Keffer Telephone:
813-376-8888



See who is the man behind the hate.



He is the same man that is responsible for spreading hate in Buffalo at Thursday at the Square and at the Pride parade.




Now the good...

The pride parade starts at 10am because of the heat. It was very hot anyways even at 10am.

I have more pictures but they are getting an error message when I try to load them. I'll try again later to get the rest of them out.

This is the error message I am getting.

name = IMG_0420.jpg
size = 384070
type = .jpg
error = 500
errorType = 1

The pics i'm having trouble with are one's that I took on my mom's camera. Didn't have any trouble with the ones I took with my own.




metalpeter - 09/03/08 18:18
Nice Pictures But I only listened to one of the videos.
ladycroft - 09/02/08 15:30

tinypliny - 09/01/08 19:30

Mikey's birthday
I had such a great weekend celebrating his birthday. Packed with fun and ended in both he and I winning big at the Seneca Nation Casino in Niagara Falls. I won $20 and he $26. This is the first time that we both won. Dinner with his parents and (e:paul), (e:matthew) and (e:terry) was really great. Of course Mike's mom put on quite a spread.

Happy Birthday Mikey! A Lion King was born 8/31!


image

The lion seen on Virginia at Delaware was commissioned by (e:mike). I framed it for his birthday and it looks pretty good framed. Mike loves this lion and it is very close to being lost forever.

image

This is Tran Zoo Vania also commissioned by (e:mike). This I made for his birthday card. Does anyone know what this place was??


mike - 09/02/08 00:11
i want to clarify, I won 36 dollars. AND I RALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT TRANS ZOO VANIA in an old like train station on niagara street was.
tinypliny - 09/01/08 19:32
BTW, I am always scared that that lion is going to flake off and fall on someone one day. Crushed by a lion. What a fate!
tinypliny - 09/01/08 19:31
Oooohh. $46 in total winnings!! That's more than people win in a decade!
metalpeter - 09/01/08 11:19
Sounds like you two had a good time. That lion is Like a Buffalo Icon or something, but I have no idea what was there sorry.
paul - 09/01/08 10:49
I'm jealous - I want to win at a casino.
