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.
