Bar Hogs

Here is another pet peeve of mine: the coffee bar hanger-on-er. This is the guy (or gal) who, after placing their drink order, goes to the end of the coffee bar and then hangs all over the counter waiting for their drink. You know, not all drinks come out in the order they were placed...Frapps are almost always out of order. Who do you think you are that you can drape yourself all over this pizza-sized piece of laquered plywood? Of course during this time, my drink came up before this yay-hoo so I had to "Politely" sckooch him over.

Common courtesy would dictate that you stand a small ways back from the bar so that no one has to climb over you to pick up their drink.

Yes, it is in Japanese, but if you look at the top right-hand corner, you will see a link to click for English. Hollie, you shouldn't need this, though.

I changed our house into an old house. Pretty cool.

Genius directions

We get a new file server at work. The instructions on how to take the top plate off are BRILLIANTLY located on the underside of the top. So once you figure out how to take the top off, you can see just how to do it properly :-)

Note: unit is assembled in the U.S.A.

All Electronic...or is it?

I signed up for e-copies of my statments from Citibank. Every month I get this in the mail:



The reason I signed up for the e-statments was so that I would not get any more stuff in the mail. It seems like a waste. I'm going to write a letter - yes on real paper. Other companies just send you an email saying "there is a new bill available on-line. Check it out. "

It's just another one of these politically correct companies trying to appease the greeners. I use this card very little and pay it off every month.

Uh, bye bye Citibank. I'm closing out your account.

It's Love

I am so in love with with song... Have you seen the commercial that Heineken did with this song? I can't get it out of my head.

Just Frost & Toss

I really cannot I'm writing about this. Greg and I saw this bit on POOP FREEZE on The Soup which I believe is one of our favorite shows.

When your dog has loose stools or whatever nasty-ness, you spray this ozone-killing dry-ice looking stuff on the poo (which on the video looks like butterscotch pudding). It freezes and makes for an easier pickup.

Their tag line is "Just Frost and Toss"...um, where I come from, you frost cake and toss water balloons.


It is innovative, but I'm wondering what was this guy smoking when he invented this. Frankly when you see the can of "freeze" being sprayed, it looks quite powerful and I'm afraid that it might just knock a human flat on his butt!

I also think the official Poop Freeze carrying case just puts this idea over the top.
