When I was younger I wasn't allowed to watch the Golden Girls. I did anyways. I remember watching them once in the reflection of something so that my parents wouldn't see me watching the TV.

Bea ArthurI am really sad about Bea Arthur passing. It is so strange because as viewers we look at the Golden Girls as always being in their golden years. Rue McClanahan was in a series recently but I didn't know anything about Bea so I didn't even know she was sick.

My speakers are possessed.For weeks I have been hearing the faint sound of a radio playing and it was starting to drive me crazy. Now I realize that the sound is coming from my computer speakers. I hear ads and sometimes music and turning the volume off doesn't make it stop.
What is wrong with them are they possessed?

It has happened to mine before. I don't know how to fix the problem but maybe listen to tunes on them and you won't hear the other stuff. A weird thing is that if you use the shreder it interfers with them also.

I hated my former speakers because of radio interference. I couldn't take it anymore and gave them away. Now I am speakerless (I listen to stuff via headphones and it keeps me sane.) I think you can get rid of the interference:

Hard to get byAlmost forgot to mention to listen to my user sound. Micachu Lips, We Have Band) remix.
So I tried to write this before I downloaded Lazarus like (e:tinypliny) suggested. I naviagated away from the page and I lost everything I wrote. Now that should never happen with the special little add on for Firefox.
Back to the point. Buffalo was recently listed by Forbes as being number five of top cities within the US where it is hardest to get by.
My first feeling was of pride that I am able to make it in the fifth hardest place to get by. My next thought was about number 4, Tampa, who not too long ago experienced tremendous growth and prosperity and has now completely bottomed out. Finally, I thought, WOW! we have tremendous stability and resilience here.
Buffalo is number 6 on top downsized US cities according to Forbes. This is clearly no surprise- as we all know how much of Buffalo is boarded up. They say positively about Buffalo:
We certainly do have a lot to market. Buffalo is a great city and I think it will remain to be long into the future.

This is clearly no surprise- as we all know how much of Buffalo is boarded up. They say positively about Buffalo:Buffalo, for example, saw a 0.8% increase in housing value over the last year. Sure, the median home price is just $106,200, but home values have decreased by 30% in some parts of the country over that same period...
"When I moved to Buffalo, I carried the same misconceptions that most do. What I found was jaw dropping" she says of the city's architecture and cultural offerings. "Efforts to market the region are so important."....
We certainly do have a lot to market. Buffalo is a great city and I think it will remain to be long into the future.

I would guess the toughest places to get by would be LA and NYC and San Fran just because of how costly things are and because so many people go out to LA for fame and never make it

Eh, Buffalo only looks good on paper when the economy is in the shiter. Assessed home values in part of the city have gone up 10%-20% in the last five years, the rest of the city has seen a sharp decline. People are losing their homes due to the water authority and increasing taxes in that small part of the city. And if you have a family, it is extra expensive because you damn well better not send your kids to public schools unless they are a brainiac who can get into Olmstead and City Honors.
Buffalo is a great city. But relative to the rest of the country it is not a desirable place to live if the economy is stable because we are continuously in a recession.

Both (e:leetee) and I think that Buffalo is a great city. We chose to live here and have no regrets.

Cleaning the tubI had some words to say but I lost them all when I navigated away from estrip forgetting to save first. Oh well.
I love a clean tub. Soap scum build up feel so gross on the feet.
Almost forgot this pic of (e:mike) who is away in Toronto. He is so cute.

That picture if you scrubbing the tin reminds me of (e:robin)'s video cleaning her bathroom. Not sure if it's online though.

(e:libertad), you need Lazarus. :::link:::
It recovers ALL forms - whatever you type. Just right click and recover. Seriously, its the best thing since firefox itself. I don't lose *anything* I type online these days because of Lazarus.

The origins of tea-baggingI love John Waters! Above clip is from Pecker.
One of the youtube comments reads:
As a staunth repulican I find it discusting how the libs drag our teabagging movement through the gutter like this. Typical!
Sorry, but I can't stop laughing.

I will admit I don't think I have ever seen any of his movies. The reason I know who he is, is from seeing him talk about movies on TV and he seems pretty interesting.
