Dear Neighbor and Fellow Pet Guardian,

I realize I now live in a town that allows pets to be off-leash if they're in their own yards.  I can appreciate that dogs don't usually know the exact boundaries of their own yards.  However, when your dog crosses the street and takes a crap right in front of my mailbox, for my sake and the sake of the mail carrier, please have the courtesy to come over and clean it up.

No love,

Your new neighbor



PS - Why is it that other people's dog's crap seems so much more disgusting than your own dog's?  Much like other people's baby's poo...

If I have to hear the words "I need something to eat" or "I need something to drink" one more time today, I just might scream.

Customer Service

I need to put a stop payment on a check so I waited around for a half hour after dropping the Kid off at school for the bank to open, figuring that this would be something easier done in person.  What do they tell me to do?  Call Customer Service.  WTF?  Isn't this something that you should be able to do in person at a branch?  I'm not happy.

Bake Sale for Barack

It doesn't get more grassroots than this, folks.  Moveon.org is helping people across the country organize "Hungry for Change" Bake Sales to support their campaign to get Barack Obama elected.  There are several in my area.  I know I plan to go to one.  What a cool idea!  Check it out, see if there's one in your area!

Insurance

Today I'm calling around getting insurance rates for the new house.  I think it would be easier to stick with our current company, just go with a different agent in our new area, but it doesn't hurt to see if we can find something better elsewhere.  I always hate dealing with insurance though.  I never know what kind of coverage I really need or if the agent is just trying to get more money out of me. 

Also, Hubby's job has multiple health insurance plans to choose from, which is great, but the choices are so overwhelming and confusing, it's hard to tell what the best one is going to be for us.  It's all so time-consuming but important to make sure we get what we need for insurance all the way around.  It's just a tremendous pain to have to figure all of it out.

Just hit delete.

I'm really tired of getting those email forwards that are designed to scare people into voting for one person or another, those emails that encourage ignorance and intolerance.  Most of those emails are not at all factual even though they claim to be.  Please, people.  Stop sending them on.  Just hit delete!

If you're interested, 


Or go to FactCheck.org to read it.

Web designers, please take note

I'm not a fan of websites with music that automatically plays when I open the page.  Quite often I'm listening to my own music while online and it annoys me to have to listen to two songs at once, especially when the one on the website is usually not as good as whatever it is I'm already listening to.  It's even more annoying when I have to search all over the website to figure out how to turn the music off and it downright pisses me off if such a button does not exist.  This might be forgivable if the website actually has to do with music, like a band's website or what have you, but if it's a website for a restaurant or a dentist's office, totally unforgivable.  This is one of the main reasons I hate MySpace.  File this one under the "just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD" category.  That is all.

Thank you.

I am tired of food

I should probably be glad that I don't have any more mouths to feed than I do but I am tired of menu planning, grocery shopping, and preparing meals 3 times a day for the three of us plus finding semi-nutritious snacks for my growing boy who, I swear, asks for something different to eat every 17 minutes.  It's no wonder by dinnertime I don't feel like cooking.

I came across this website of funny signs while I was working today.  It kept me amused long enough to forget that I was supposed to be working.

Sweet moment of the day

I had just opened my mail and in it was the Fall Out Boy CD I ordered from doing enough Harris Poll surveys to earn one.  So of course I popped it the CD player right away and as the Kid and I were grooving out, he reached his arms toward me and asked, "Mom, can I have this dance?"

Being a slight hypochondriac and having just gone from having no insurance for the past 3 years to newly being on Medicaid, this article really scares the crap out of me.  And makes me angry.  Give us universal health insurance before more Americans suffer and die just because they can't keep up with the unreasonable rise in health care costs.  We KNOW it's a problem, let's DO something about it!

They love me...they love me not...

Finally!  Today I got my 8th report card from work and it was finally a really good one.  I really can't stand being just average.  Anyway, I think this proves that their report cards are whack because I've been doing the same as I always have been.  It'd be helpful if I knew what I was really being graded on.  But as always, just happy to be employed!

Lincolns for Obama

Being a total Lincoln and Obama fan plus being a fellow Illinoisan, I'm totally in for this today!  $5.01 is practically nothing and if tons of people do it, I imagine it'll really add up.  I'm just not clear how credit card fees are going to affect this.

Fashion

Celebrities can get away with just about anything when it comes to fashion.  I love vintage dresses but c'mon, when am I really going to wear them?  Maybe I'd wear more cute dresses if I could only wear comfortable shoes like Lily Allen and her "trainers."  Ok, I probably wouldn't.  But I'm jealous that she can get away with it and I can't.

Busy, busy, busy

I've been super busy the past few days so I haven't had too much time to read or update.  It just seems ironic to me that when I actually have stuff to post, I really don't have the time to write about it.  Hopefully I remember it all once life settles back out again.  Gotta get back to work!

 I got this forward today...


**************************************************************
            
Forwaded message:
             

            Please help do this.. refuse to accept these when they are handed to you.  I received one from the Post Office as change and I asked for a dollar bill instead.  The lady just smiled and said 'way to go' so she has also read this e-mail.  Please help out....our world is in enough trouble without this too!!!!!

            U.S. Government to Release New Dollar Coins

                

            You guessed it
            'IN GOD WE TRUST'
            IS GONE!!!

            If ever there was a reason to boycott something, THIS IS IT!!!!

            DO NOT ACCEPT THE NEW DOLLAR COINS AS CHANGE

            Together we can force them out of circulation.

            Please send to all on your e-mail list !!!

**************************************************************************

 Oh no!  We're all going to hell because God's name doesn't appear on our money!!

And I wouldn't be surprised if they go out of circulation but it's not going to be because it doesn't say "In God we Trust."  Remember Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea?     

Anyway, it's not true.  It appears on the side.  What is with all these people who think that the government is trying to take their God away?  If anything, this country is MORE religious than ever.

I stumbled across Cookie Play Dough while working today.  I'm grossed out yet intrigued.  Also, I could really go for some warm cookies and hot chocolate right about now.
