NEVER JET HOT

Last night, I made some changes to my Google Adwords campaign, got this back from them today; Ad Status: Suspended - Pending Revision Ad Issue(s): Spelling ~~~~~~~~~ SUGGESTIONS: -> Ad Text: You have one or more words spelled incorrectly within your ad text. I suggest making the following change(s): Current: "Wierd" Replace with correct spelling: "weird" So. What happened to "I before E except after C"??? Are there no rules anymore?? I talked to my neighbor and she also thinks it's the height of injustice.

Leader: Is the iPod love affair over? - silicon.com Just ran across this article about the Ipod, makes me even more convinced that I made the right decision getting the "Creative MuVo TX FM 1GB MP3 Player" - it has all the right stuff plus it uses one removable ordinary AAA battery (Or rechargable) The Apple Ipod with similar features, and not as cool looking in my opinion, would have cost a bundle more (Can't say how much more because prices fluctuate daily on this stuff, but it is significant) The Muvo unit has a tiny screen but is otherwise well designed, and the flash memory eliminates the possibility of skipping. If you ran across this blog while researching what kind of MP3 player to get, I hope you read that article first.

North Platte Telegraph - News - 06/24/2005 - Local locksmith corrects key mistake "Richardson tried to vomit up the key, and then drank Milk of Magnesia to flush it out, with no luck." Geez mister, make up your mind. I swallowed a nickel when I was about five, at the theater, apparently my sister wasn't sharing her popcorn, or I wouldn't be sucking on money in frustration. I think I'll call her up, "Remember 40 years ago when mom made you take me to the movies? Now I probably have copper poisoning in my small intestines and it's ALL YOUR FAULT for not sharing! And don't think I won't tell!!" Of course my mom is hard of hearing these days... "What's that? You swallowed a pickle?? So what! Pickles are good for you... Why, back in my day, the grocer would give us pickles right from the barrel for sweeping up the asbestos bin! And we LIKED it!" Of course, I may have given a new meaning to the phrase "pay toilet...

Got the following "wanted" message for a keyboard, from our local FreeCycle mailing list. I would suggest just letting it dry out, if it was only water. Most keyboards could benefit from a good banging against the desk sideways. (What came out of YOURS?) Our_son_dumped_water_on_our_keyboard._The_space_bar_seems_to have_been_affected!

The Seattle Times: Nation & World: British "Happy slappers" run wild The government's main weapon against yobbery is the ASBO. An acronym for "anti-social behavior order," it is a civil order obtained from a court that prohibits a person from engaging in narrowly defined activities that are not necessarily criminal but are anti-social. A neighbor who habitually throws loud drunken parties might be slapped with an ASBO that sharply curtails the number of guests allowed on the premises after 9 p.m. People who violate an ASBO can be jailed. Process streamlined At first, the process of obtaining an ASBO was slow and costly. Only 600 were issued in the first three years of the program. But the process has been streamlined, and last year 2,600 ASBOs were issued. Some community activists say the targeted use of ASBOs has been an effective crime-stopper, but others point to abuses. In one well-publicized case earlier this year, a woman from Bath w...

It doesn't matter where we are going; It just matters that we are going. 

I'm not sure I would like for my dad to be quite this happy. It's not like him. I think it would be sort of unnerving.  

Happy Father's Day! You know who you are.

I'll have to ask mom if she went out in the garage and kissed the stain while she was pregnant with me. That would explain a lot. 

Mommm! Chuck and Stewie are playing with guns again!  

Walkin' the dog. This urban trail is near the Arlington airport, will probably be a Wal-Mart or Pizza Hut site soon, might as well enjoy while we can! 

Why is Petey giving ME a dirty look? He's the one that got tangled up. Not my fault. 

This time of year, I always get a hankering to drive through all the little towns and see the giant tire woman and what not. Do you think she helps sell tires? Like the purple gorilla at the car lot? Call me sexist, but I will buy my tires from the Paul Bunyan statue. I trust him more than this mini-skirted bimbo. Maybe if they had a Janet Reno or Rosie the Riveter. This one looks too much like a character from Scooby-doo.

Geocaching - The Official Global GPS Cache Hunt Site We got one of those Magellan GPS portables on sale at Sporting Authority. They are very helpful there. Found a Geo-Cache at the Wildlife Sanctuary on the other side of the Arlington airport, we have lived around here for 16 years and had never been there, it's huge, with picnic tables, woods, fields, a creek and I don't know what all. Petey saw 2 rabbits today, good thing he was on a leash or he would still be in the brambles. I had to switch to UDS because the regular latititude/longitude thing was miles off, I think I have the display set up wrong?? UDS took me exactly there east/west, the north/south was just a little off. The cache was under a multi-trunked tree in a big plastic Costco Mayonaisse-sized jar, there was a lot of neat junk in there, Teresa took some beads and stuff and left a little gong and of course a few round tuits that have TheRestlessMouse.com printed on the back.

CPSC, Fisher-Price Announce Recall of Pogo Sticks In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Fisher-Price, of East Aurora, N.Y., is voluntarily recalling about 154,000 Fisher-Price� Grow-To-Pro� Pogo Sticks. An internal metal pin can wear down, causing the pogo sticks to remain stuck in the down position and release unexpectedly, posing a risk of fall or facial impact injuries to children." Huh, I thought all pogo sticks caused "facial impact injuries".

Once in a while, we get product samples from mom and pop vendors. Got one a few weeks ago, I won't show it here due to copyright issues, although I doubt anyone would copy it. What we got was a framed cartoon of a man sitting on the commode smiling up at his wife, who stands behing the toilet beaming her approval. Below this disturbing image, there's a rather long poem implying that men need to sit to pee. The bad thing is, Teresa pronounced it to be "cute" and actually hung it on the bathroom wall. Well guys, this will not stand. I am going to replace it with the infamous R. Crumb "Wipe your ass" poster at my earliest convenience. Stay tuned for further developments.
