Shamoopie is upset

The shamoop is a little upset tonight. It seems we accidentally sold her old car. She had a '92 Volvo 940 Turbo and the turbo had gone out on it so it made it impossible to drive. I wanted to salvage it but she would not let me. So she listed it on Craig's List and low and behold it sold in 2 hours.

You would think that she would be happy it wasn't going to the junk yard. :)

Now I can get my Porsche! Just kidding.

can't type with baby in arm

I am finding it really difficult to type and for that matter do anything with a baby in my arm.

He is so dare cute. It's too easy not to want to put him down.

It is also hard to believe that he is one month old.

my arm is now a.....sleep.........

Dave Grohl and Will Ferrell

One of the funniest things I have seen in a while. There is adult language so keep the speakers low.
I think Dave said it best "Your F*&%$*@ me up Will!".

Trashman

Webster define them as: a worker who collects and hauls away trash.

Waste Management makes it look like an exciting career. Words are used like "Environmental Stewardship" and "Social Responsibility Report".

How about we call it what it is and you just start doing what you are paid to do. Pick up the trash! Here i town they have gone to automated pickup. One driver and one guy on the back of the truck. They no longer "pickup" the trash. The truck does all the work. Anything not in the can is left right where it sits. They don't get off the truck.

Just a reminder that they are trashmen. Collecting is the first part. It wasn't that long ago that they used to come twice a week and go behind your house and bring the cans to the truck. Now not only do I have to bring the can to the street, pickup is only once a week. Since most things are recycled, there usually isn't much in the can anyway.

Which makes me think. When do you decide to become a trashman? I remember as a child saying when I was asked what I wanted to do when I grew up "I want to collect the trash".

I have decided that I am quitting my current job in genetics research to become a trashman.....or puppet master. :)

Food prices - olive oil

Shamoopie sent me to the store for some olive oil. I got it and was shocked that one small bottle cost me $13. I noticed that food prices were up but ....

Yes I wrote $13. This was at least four times the price of the same amount of gasoline.

It may be oil but it grows on trees the last time I checked.

Me thinks that the recession is here and inflation has started. Oil is now $100 a barrel and olive oil is $400 a barrel.

This is just wrong people. Diet Coke is only $2 a case. Maybe I can cook with that?

End of the Alltel wizard commercials

I believe that the latest "Wizard" commercial will be the last. They stink. I don't know who came up with them but they should be fired.

Next the commercials will have fire breathing dragons. There were so many ways to take those commercials that they didn't try.

Wizard...this is why I switched from Alltel to Sprint, and then switched from Sprint to ATT. Or maybe it was because of the free phones that don't seem to work. You would think that I would learn. I have a new phone from ATT that has been recalled by the manufacture because of a broken antenna and ATT says that they have never heard anything about it. Each time thinking that this will fix my phone issue. Sprint had the best service. ATT maybe all around the world but it just ain't here.

Alltel should do a commercial about how there is no customer service after the sale at any of the phone stores, even Alltel. If they are not getting you to upgrade and sign another two year contract they don't want to talk to you and just play dumb about any issues.

WIZARD.................Please fix my phone.

His reply..... I can't! Unless you sign a new contract.

That would put an end to the commercials.
