NEVER JET HOT

Sometimes if the *(#$%#% birds are chirping or Stompy McStomperson (Frank) is clomping around getting ready to go to work, I put on a pair of big fat green airport earphones. They block the noise out real good. I also have an eyemask that has some kind of seeds in it to make it extra soft, but I make sure the window is closed when I wear that, I harbor a secret fear that the birds will try to peck my eyes out while I am sleeping, and I won't hear them coming because of the headphones.

Forget Alice's Restaurant, you can get anything you want for free from the Snohomish County FreeCycler's list... Offered: Lots of blue Jolly Ranchers So... awhile ago my co-worker gave me all the blue Jolly Ranchers out of her mega-Costco-sized bag of Jolly Ranchers, cuz she didn't like the blue ones. I thought, "Hey, I like the blue ones! Sure I'll take them! WOOHOO FREE CANDY!". Except now it's been a year or two, and I still have them. I guess I didn't like them as much as I thought. I fear that if I continue to hang onto them, they'll continue to sit in my cabinet forever. There's a full ziplock bag full, and another half of a ziplock bag. I did have one tonight just to make sure that flavored sugar and carbs doesn't go bad or anything, but it was A-OK. Let me know when you can come pick-up, and I'll leave it on the porch for ya. I wish I didn't have to work today, I could go snag those ancient blue Jolly Ranchers off her porc...

I used to work in a factory on a crew with 4 guys and one lady. Sometimes at lunch, she would have a banana, potassium goodness and all that. Unfortunately our lead was just a naturally googely-eyed fellow, and if he happened to glance at her, she would exclaim "You guys!" and turn around to finish it, or sometimes just throw the rest away. It was actually kind of amusing to me, but I daren't laugh. What's the world coming to when a girl can't eat her lunch in peace?

This is clever, a form for arresting yourself. Not that I would fill out such a form without consulting a lawyer. (I have multiple personalities, and one of them is a lawyer. I would need him to be present.) PS link to form is in title, click on "I am under arrest" above. This was featured in Linky and Dinky's newsletter today, so it might be overloaded for a few days.

Just ran our site against greatfirewallofchina.org and discovered it is not blocked by the authorities there. I don't know if they just overlooked our puny site, or decided to give us a pass because half the crap we sell is made there, or exactly what the deal is. I guess one of our goals for the website is to be blocked by some totalitarian regime- US Corporate websites don't count. PS Why do they get to be called "authorities" when they are often responsible for banning certain authors? Whoever "they" are.

Our new webstore is really starting to come together, although we don't heed conventional wisdom (site should be spartan with lots of white space and few links) - NONSENSE If you want to look at white space - Fine. Total freaking white space. I can play that game too. .

#BD-2001 YORICK We got these high quality skulls to appeal to our goth customers, but now I hear skulls are passe and they like spleens instead. It's really hard to keep up with what's hot. I don't know how Paris Hilton does that.
