Robo calls for lost petsI received a message on my home phone yesterday. It was a robo call about one of my neighbors lost pets. I think it is kind of abnoxious but understandable at the same time. I did some pretty crazy things to try to get my bike back but I never thought about robo calls. I don't think this should be legal. I'm really getting sick of political robo calls too. It is my phone and I don't want anyone calling it unless I have given you the number. I am on the do not call list.
They charge A LOT of money and I kind of doubt that they really work. I'm sure a lot of people who pay for this really can't afford it in the first place. Check out their pricing plan which ranges from $85 for 250 calls to $850 for 10,000 calls.
Sorry about your lost kitty, but I think you should stick with signs and advertisements in the paper or craigslist.
Maybe the next time Basra runs off you can robo call the neighborhood (e:PMT)?

Thanksgiving 2010I want to bring some food to share for my family's Thanksgiving day dinner. It will also be celebrating my Grammy's 80th birthday. I really would like to bring something special so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? It would have to be something I could make the night before and that I could travel with in a cooler for 3-4 hrs. It could be a dessert but would like to stay away from the pies. My family never has seafood on Thanksgiving and I was thinking that might be a nice change but I can't think of anything I could make the night before.

Don't cry over spilled tea tree oilI spilled some pure tea tree oil and I wish it was milk! It is so strong. I do like it diluted but full strength is overwhelming. It spilled on my clothes, on a bag of plastics I am hoarding and on my kitchen floor. I can't get it out of my nose. Thankfully it wasn't a full bottle but some I had saved in a plastic container because I had over poured.

Believe me, I know EXACTLY how it smells. I used to deal with that smell about once every couple months (WAAAAAAAAAAYY back) when it would rain on Sunday in Delhi.

I wish I had some of it. I washed my hair a few days ago and I didn't have time to dry it and now it smells funny. (Uccck!) Tea Tree oil would fix everything. There's gotta be aplace around there that has some.

Thanks for posting this, (e:libertad). I haven't seen it yet and would be very interested in seeing Josh Fox, although I've read the research and stories that it's based on. I'm honestly not sure I can handle more graphic pictures than what I've already seen in real life, or illustrations to accompany all the horror stories I've read.
I haven't seen any of the natural gas-related movies: Split Estate and All Fracked Up are anti-drilling, Gas Odyssey is pro-drilling, Haynesville is somewhere in between, trying to balance a lot of different perspectives. I don't watch a lot of movies, and rarely watch documentaries.
I hope folks will take advantage of this opportunity - if we want to go as a group, I'm in.
Which saturday?
