Happy Monday
by My company moved from the 3rd floor to the 1st over the weekend. This is like our 5th move in the same building. We're in a very very tight space now. Basically, we can't hire any new employees or they'll have to sit in closets or something. hehe
In other news, this site's pretty dead recently, huh?

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ::SIGH:: love it
web toed....my dress finally arrived from daddy o's! OMG i LOOOOOVE it! you do not even understand!! its a little big in the waist (which im taking in) but the overall fit is AWESOME!!!
So I was out shopping last night trying to find a second wiimote, impossible to find. but target, gamestop, and best buy all had ps3s. people are returning them because they can't sell them for as much as they had hoped.
i keep hearing this from so many people.. PS3s are just not moving. too much money right now. seems like it's super easy to get one right now, though, if you want one.
a 2nd wii remote is a VERY tough find right now... :/ i'm sure it'll be much easier in like 2 weeks. AND when Wii Play comes out next month sometime, it'll come with a free remote, so that'll be good
my co-worker sold his for $1800 on ebay. I couldnt imagine paying that much...im just waiting till the "rush" is over to get mine.
so you actually want a PS3?
What is wrong with people that they'd spend that much money for a PS3!!!
Wii Play? Tell me more.
Thanks, after i posted that question, found all my answers on wikipedia. This would have been a great game to release at the same time as the wii. maybe they couldn't meet the demand.
yeah i'm not sure.. it was a launch title in other countries...
All I have to say to (most of) those people is HAHAH HA HA HA HA HA HA GO GET AN EXTRA JOB OR RAKE SOMEONES YARD.
don't think I'll sell my Wii, it was way too much of a great experience.
For like one minute yesterday Costco.ca had them... I ordered 4 of every accessory.. if I have one not spoken for, I'll let you know. :-)
Now to find the system... UGH!!
Thanks, that would be awesome.
Liam got ours on ebay for $350.
first post from my Wii!!!!
you truly are a gameboy!!! lol
Sitting on my desk this morning: Two presents with cards that say "Merry Christmas". People are so dense; how many times do I have to say I don't celebrate this pagan holiday!? Now I have to have the awkward conversation of saying why I don't want a christmas present. Great way to start the morning.
Hahaha - I said a quick prayer and it totally worked. The attorney came over and said, "You have to open your gift. Really, it's not for Christmas, that was just the only card I had left." And it was a subscription to a foodie mag that I totally wanted! Ahhh, funny stuff.
awww you reject their presents? i couldn't do that. they're only acting as they know how...w/o the true knowledge. *but you did get what you wanted..LOL
Well I would've said something like, "I appreciate your thoughtfulness, but my conscience doesn't allow me to receive gifts associated with this holiday." Fortunately, I didn't have to say that to anyone. There's almost no way to put it without hurting feelings, so I'm glad it didn't come up.
hello posting from my wii . wiihhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
noooo how did you beat me?!?!?
he is the master of ham and computers
haha this is sooo funny because I thought absolutely for sure you'd have posted. I have to say ezabel looks pretty good, it was almost readable, but you really need a pda CSS stylesheet like on ALA :)
i have 80 gig of music yet cant figure out what i want to actually listen to, and put on a 6 gig mp3 player
this happens to me daily. shuffle, shuffle, baby. shuffle, shuffle.
Ok, this is really just me venting about a stupid issue that came up today at Tyle's school....so anyone that doesn't like long venting stories, sorry in advance.
I go to pick up Tyler from school, and there's another mom that goes into the class before me. I wait outside. All the kids leave the class, and Tyler's the last one in there....all of a sudden, he gets this look on his face like someone just slapped him and THEN killed his puppy.
We walk out of the room, and when I asked him what was wrong, he told me that Jamie's mom (the mom that was in the room before me) had overheard him saying that Jamie was his best friend.
She proceeds to say this to my son:
"No you aren't his best friend. You're not even his friend, and I don't want you talking to him or playing with him at all."
So naturally, my mama bear claws come out, and I spent the next 5 minutes debating how much it would scar Tyler to watch me run her over with my SUV. I chose to wait until she left, then I went in and talked to the teacher.
His teacher confirmed all this, and said she's never heard an adult speak so coldly to another child. The mother's reason for all this? Because she had heard, through her son, who heard through another kid, soemthing that Tyler may or may not have done (because no adult ever saw) that she didn't like. So.....she just decided to bring a 7 year old to tears. Nice.
:( poor Tyler
that lady has issues. that's just not cool
OMG!!! Throw acid in that wackos face!!
OOOO the fiery latina would've come out in me...thats not cool. Poor tyler :( is he ok now?
Yeah, he's cool. He got spoiled a little when we got home, and he's pretty understanding about stupid crap like that. I'm debating whether or not I should speak to the mom the next time I see her though. I'm very concerned about getting a bit too upset in front of her, haha.
was the teacher going to confront her?
She already flat out told the mom that it was uncalled for, but I guess she was so taken aback by what the mom had said that she didn't really know what else to say. She's a very.....interesting teacher, hahaha.
Hey Todd!! Tyler's playinf 'Freebird' on Guitar Hero 2 as we speak!! Looks like I won't be the only one challenging you to a face off, hahaha!!!
My friend's wife KILLED me on Freebird. I was so ashamed. She nailed every lick of the solo. VERY HARD TO DO-- even on medium!
Bad Religion is signed up to play Warped Tour next year. I think it is time for me to go to my first Warped Tour.
Does anyones work give them christmas presents?
i get a christmas "bonus" that happens at the end of the year
i take it
so i keep the $$
I wasn't really asking to get everyone's opinion on whether or not to accept. My company doesn't give anything, I think they are cheap.
yep, we get a week to week 1/2 off (paid) between xmas and new years (dependss on what day xmas falls). we get our yearly bonus, and raises and a HUGE end of year party.
Last year the office manager gave us little lotion packets. This year she gave us each a paper stating the firm used the money as a donation to a family of a local 15-year-old who was shot in his home on Monday. :( Very sad.
(we get a bonus and have a holiday party too; I thought you meant in addition to that stuff. :P )
oh wow. well at least the money is being put to good use.
The story is that this kid just opened his front door and was shot in the chest. (The local news article.) Honestly, it's cementing our resolve to move out of this town; the shooting was about 1.5 miles from our house. That's way too close to home. Plus, the state just approved plans for a slot casino on the other side of town (near that shooting) which means unless the city beefs up its police force, there's going to be a serious increase in crime.
wow, well, you have to remember you're still living in this system, where there's wicked everywhere. You cannot find a place thats safe. and if you're letting a shooting down the street from you make you go into hiding i would move to a remote island. LOL we had a 16 year old get shot a block away from our house. it is def scary, dont get me wrong but things are happening even in the remotest parts of the country.
I know, I know. If I could buy my own private island and live off coconuts, I totally would! That's not the only reason we want to move; there's lots of factors. Statistically, there's lots of towns surrounding us that have lower crime, so there's no reason for us to NOT go there, ya know?
This reminds me of last year. Some crackhead was selling magazine subscriptions door to door and an old lady invited him in for something to drink. He robbed get, killed her with a fire poker, and left. He was caught pretty quickly.
This was like 3 streets down from me. I live in a very quiet, shore town. Shows ya that you can't hide at all. Violence strikes like lightning.
An aside: Because the dude was going door to door people started flipping out about us preaching. We weren't permitted to go out for almost two weeks. Now theres a "no knock" sticker avialable from the county. Some people think this applies to us, so we carry a little sized down document indicating that it doesn't.
oh wow! something like that happened down our street when i was around 6. some druggie was pretending he was there to work on the old ladies house...she couldn't remember if she called them etc. so she invited him in, he robbed, raped and killed her. it was SO horrible and our neighborhood was an middle-upper class neighborhood too.
yeah and not to mention that Brick, NJ is considered one of the safest towns to live in the entire US and this happened about what, 10 miles from Brick? heh
they have a christmas party here, where they give out a small cash bonus. they typically give me mine the next day or something, at my desk.
in previous years they've also sent out like cheesecakes and stuff to everyone, but that didn't happen this year.
Smaller offices, no cheesecake. What's your office coming to?
i know! and it smells like smoke in here too! stupid smokers
ugh, i worked at a temp job where the two attorneys AND two secretarys smoked, in the office! it was awful! i could have accepted a permanent job, but decided to leave, cuz my health is more important. if i were a client, i would leave upon entering, just from the hit of STINK you get when you walk through the door!
yeah they smoked at the lawyer's office i used to work at.. and I worked there for over 2 years.. i'm a little afraid of what I did to my lungs
everytime i get even a slight cough i get nervous hehe
I got a nice bonus for reaching our goals for the year. In the words of Marv Albert....YESH!!!!
i have such an exciting couple weeks planned...this weekend my sister is visiting from FL Fri. & Sat. then Tina & Adam come Sunday-Monday, then my bro. & sis-in-law come to our house Tuesday from New York, then the 4 of us drive down to NC to my parents house. THEN the following week is our 2 Year Anniversary and we're going to D.C. for the weekend. THEN we have a family day the following weekend with my inlaws. (Present day for the little ones...and maybe for the rest us. haha) :) Yip Yip! Who needs Christmas!?! That being said, anyone have any good kids gift ideas. The kids are 3 and 6...almost.
Who posted a recipe for making cin & sugar pita chips a while back? I got them from the store and they are amazing!
That may or may not have been me.....I can't be sure.
i cannot wait for this....
if you'd have told me ten years ago this was gonna be a live action film and it was gonna actually look this good-- i would have told you were crazy. wow.
i know, im in awe. i cant wait to see it!
wow this actually looks like it could be pretty sweet
oh my good ness i just found plane tickets from newark to chicago for $39!!
Oh, so one more Tyler story, then I'm done.
My mom is in town for the next two weeks, and the other day we were driving in service, and Tyler was pointing out all the different cactus to my mom, telling her different names.
We pass one down the street, just a simple barrel cactus, but the homeowners had put santa hats on them for decoration. My mom asked him what that cactus was.
His response?
"Pagan Cactus!"
so we were eating a family dinner las tnight and i think i used the word bootylicious when all of a sudden annalisa (9yrs old) bursts out to sing "fergilicious definition make the boys go loco." she didnt know the rest of the words but the look on my dad's face was priceless and oh so hysterical. no idea how she knew them.
So Tyler finally gets his guitar next week....he has no idea yet, but he is gonna FLIP!!!
so, do you buy christmas presents for your whole family?
hahahha i was going to say the same thing.
Hahaha.....noooo.
My anniversary is on the 4th of January, so next Saturday my husband's parents are having a dinner for us, and didn't want Tyler to feel left out. So they bought him a guitar. It's pretty sweet.
awww thats cute. my friends dad is not a wit and her mom is....and to respect her mom's beliefs the father stopped celebrating holidays. so they started this "tradition" that on their (the parents) anniversary everyone got presents. i thought it was totally cute.
I decided that I'm going to try and be on College Jeopardy.
I think you'd win.
There's a Simpons episode when Marge goes on Jeopardy to get money for the family, and they show her with like -$21,000 at the end of the show. Then Alex Trebek pulls her off stage and says,
Ok, Marge, how do you want to handle this: Cash, check or charge?
Marge: What?
AT: Marge, you're $21,000 in the hole. Before we started the game, I asked you if you knew the rules and you said you did!
Then they have AT throughout the show chasing Marge. Good stuff.
did you know there's going to be a simpsons movie?
Duh....Where have you been?
i MAY have seen it before but i dont pay attention (ADD) so it probably flew right over my head. LOL
Yea, I've heard. I wonder if it'll be any good. (I guess I quote too many simpsons lines, huh? ****slinks off to corner****)
Thanks! I think it'd be fun. My sister and I started watching regular jeopardy, I figure the questions are easier for college?
The questions are ridiculously easier for college. We caught celebrity jeopardy the other day - the SNL skit is completely true.
Haha..such great skits.
Final Jeopardy Question: Where are you, right now?
Sean Connery: InDooRs
AT: Correct. Are we filming this? Its amazing. And your wager?
Connery's Board reads: I <3 BooBs
Classic, one of my favorites
Final Jeopardy Question:
AT: Name your favorite letter. Any letter will do.
*contestants feverishly writing*
AT: There is no reason any of you should be writing this much. Just write a letter.
One celebrity's board: "2".
AT: The number "2". I'm sorry, that's incorrect.
Celeb: No, no, my friend, it's THE LETTER "2".
So Tyler had to have an allergy skin test yesterday, where they test your skin by dropping 47 different oils of possible allergens on his back, then pricking each drop to see how the skin reacts to it.
That is a horrible thing to have to watch your 7 year old deal with......oh, and he's allergic to cats, and has to get allergy shots every week for the next 6 months or so. Yipee.
aw chica, im sorry. i had to get that done a few times. its horrible. and im ticklish on my back so it was a WONDERFUL experience. LOL
is he going to get allergy shots?
when you say "back", do you mean like "back" as in, "that girl got 'BACK'". That kind of back? um. Don't answer this. ;)
hahahahaha
Yeah, he starts the shots after the first of the year.
Thankfully, it's all at the Mayo Clinic, so not only does my insurance cover it, but he's getting taken care of by a top notch doctor. :)
oh chica, in the long run it'll be the best thing. im so allergic to "envoronmental" things, trees, grass etc. but when i first started getting them i was so sick with the allergies then in time was better and was able to be out in the "environment" with out getting sick.
anyway long story short, i'm getting the shots again cause my insurance changed like 4 years back and now im getting them again. the cool thing, they dont hurt.
they did that to me when i was in middle school. i had to get allergy shots for a couple years
They say that after a while the shots can sort of tone down the allergies, so they either aren't as bad, or almost go away.....did that happen with yoU?
they said i was developing asthma, which i don't really have any symptoms of now, however i do think i have a weakened immune system probably from that and from taking so many antibiotics when i was younger. i used to get sick a lot, and i faked it a lot and had a stupid doctor that would just prescribe stuff
Funny thing (but not really), but they actually had that same concern with Tyler, because he had asthma when he was younger. He grew out of it, but they said it's a risk in the long run, because it might return. The kid has an awesome immune system so far....he rarely gets sick, and if he does, it's a small cold or soemthing, maybe once a year. But even as a baby, never had those gross 'kid colds' with the snot and sniffles that other kinds had, haha.
So maybe it'll work out....I just hope the asthma doesn't come back. I'm trying to explain to him that having an inhaler isn't a 'cool' thing, haha.
yeah definitely make sure he doesn't overuse that stuff, only take meds if absolutely necessary
Yeah, it was either the shots or the meds, and I hate having to put him on daily stuff....I try to avoid that if at all possible.
i have had ashtma since i was 8 and they say it wont go away because i grew into it. but they continue to try to get me to take things regularly and i'm always like, no no no no no just an inhaler and one inhaler would last like 1 year or so but i've noticed that they've definetly reduced the amount of medicine they put in the inhaler so i have to keep going back so they can keep trying to put me on regular medication.
Does he have to get the shots because you guys have a cat, or because he's allergic to something else?
We don't have a cat anymore....he was always around my mom's when we lived with her up until he was 3, but he's also allergic to some trees and weeds common to he southwest. It's basically a hayfever issue, with the cat thing thrown in, haha.
He's always sounded more 'stuffed up' to me than normally, so I just figured it was time to get it all taken care of, haha.
Ahhh... that makes sense. I asked because some people are masochists and have cats even though they know they're allergic. I hope the shots help!
Me too....the doctor was concerned at first, thinking it was our 3 dogs...thankfully though, he's 100% ok with doggies. :)
I've had this done a ton of times, only on my arms though..hm.
I've never got the shots, though, but I was thinking about this just yesterday and how maybe I should because I have to take allergy medicine every day and that is kind of ridiculous.
Also, probably better to do it now because as someone pointed out to me last night, as of next spring I won't have insurance for about half a year..yay!

friday morning is our last day here and we're off until january 2nd. i have NOOOOOO motivation to work at all!
snow. FINALLY!
oh man can we come visit?? when??
ok so i live in SoCal...so why is it 40 freaking degrees?? UGH
weird, it was 64 in central PA yesterday.
im dying at 64 degrees!! this is insane. the only good thing, is its SUPER clear and sunny. but yeah 40 degrees? UGH
It's 5 degrees warmer where I am
24 starts on January 14th and 15th at 8pm, for 2 hours each. I can't WAIT!
i'm gonna watch from the beginning this year
Anyone do international texting? Does it cost any more than domestic texting? I'm trying to find out the most cost effective way for when I get an unlocked Treo 650. Looking to get the best rate for US to UK voice calls as well as US to UK texting.
i believe it's .25/message for international, sometimes it depends on what carrier you have.
Best rate for calls, I find, is ALWAYS through a phone card. Buy one for $20 from Walgreens, wait till the weekend, call and chat to your heart's content.
(Alternatively, I suppose you could get up really early in the morning, while free nights and weekends still apply - depending on the carrier, it probably ends at 5:59 AM.)
.25 cents? or .25 dollars?
uhhhh .. i meant 25 cents per message
hehe, have you heard about that Verizon fiasco?
http://verizonmath.blogspot.com/2006/12/verizon-doesnt-know-dollars-from-cents.html
you have to listen to the phone call with customer service. it's sad how SO MANY people couldn't grasp the idea that $.002 is .002 DOLLARS, not .002 CENTS. hehe.. i was literally smacking myself in the head while listening to this at points haha
I forgot to post this. I especially appreciate the memo
Okay. Another question if by chance you'd know this too.. If I get a fowarding UK mobile number for my US mobile phone, can texts be fowarded? 'Cause I know I can purchase a UK fowarding number to ring to my US number (I found one service for $3.00/month and 4 cents a minute). I wonder if I'd be able to receive texts to the US phone from people in the UK using the UK number. But, I'm afraid it just might work for voice and not text.
Obviously I could purchase a prepaid International roaming SIM, but the fowarding method will work out cheaper.
good question. I suggest just trying it. or, why not have your friends in the UK sent a message to yourphonenumber@yourcarrier.com ? that would probably work better.
Hmm, okay. Thanks for the help you were able to give. Hopefully I can keep in contact with them without breaking the bank. I received an unexpecting text message last week from London, and was disappointed I couldn't reply back, because of my bare bones Nextel.
Oh, you reckon my Nextel SIM (iDen technology I think) will work on a GSM phone? (I'm awaiting shipment on an unlocked Palm Treo 650 - GSM Quad Band I just bought on eBay) I don't expect the Nextel SIM to work, but would like to know if it happens to work since the Nextel contract doesn't expire until Summer 2007. Worse Case scenerio I'll carry both phones around with respective SIMs til that time comes.
That's was weird timing.. the shipment just arrived
nope, won't work. sorry dude.
you'll have to get a Cingular SIM card, or a T-Mobile SIM card. Or, you could get a British carrier's SIM card - that'd work too.
OK bummer. I'll have to carry both phones until summer then, since my business relys on my Nextel phone number. I don't what to get for the Treo yet tho... either US Domestic SIM & a UK fowarding number, or an International Roaming SIM with UK number. Hard to weigh out the pluses and minuses and what's gonna work out cheapest for regular voice calls and texts to and from the UK.
Put your hands up....
My car is actually legal now in the state where I live. It's really lame that I'm excited about that.
thats awesome but when i began reading this post i totally thought you were goin to be quoting the 50cent song. and i was with it and then i was like, "oh no. put myhands down."

I go to my office christmas parties, take the gifts, and the cake... then ebay it all... yup even the cake!
Profit for me and clear concience...
ITS A WIN WIN!!!!!!!!!!
anyone getting a lot of flack about their office christmas party?
my boss knows that some of our clients are witnesses (friends of mine in Elizabeth) and he's trying to find out if they're going to their own christmas parties ...
it never ends
i never went to ours at the beginning because it was an "xmas party" but then my third year here they decided to be PC about it because not everyone celebrated Xmas. they changed everything (even our shutdown was changed to winter break instead of xmas break) and called it the "end of year bash" and are clear of any holiday decor. anyway, i did get some flack for not going before.
I totally am. And my response that it doesn't agree with my conscience to go to a party that's meant to celebrate a holiday apparently doesn't hold water with everyone around here. I don't think anyone in this building has used the term "conscience" in a sentence before.
its the world chica, "conscience" isnt in their vocab.
