Hopefully by the end of this move we’ll have a little money left over and I can blow it all on something frivolous and unnecessary. The ultimate in unnecessary would be in getting an expensive duplicate item (or a rare stamp, licking it and mailing it but I think that’s been done). I’ll settle for another laptop like an Acer Aspire or something.
Like I’m really gonna have any money left over.
This comment is even better for advice:
“For aluminum welding, operators are required to ensure that the basic material clean and remove any impurities and alumina hydrocarbon cutting oils and….”
I want you to know that I did not add the “…”. I guess they didn’t want to share all the information at once. Maybe there will be a follow up comment that completes this one. Maybe this is a cliffhanger comment and it won’t be completed until next season. Maybe they don’t care about anyone or anything and want people to start welding something and then not have the info to finish the project.
Oh I’m being mean. They probably thought they were on twitter and ran out of room.
We’re packing like mad right now and I’ve managed to fill a very large box with office supplies. Of course I’ve labeled it ‘office supplies’ but my labels aren’t always so good. Sometimes I get a little slap happy and make up weird labels. I’ll hate myself later when it comes time to look for things.
I’ve got “Rocks/Banks” (that’s really what’s in there) and “Kids/Books” (it’s supposed to be kids’ books). Next thing you know I’ll have something marked “office furniture supplies” but that would have to be a pretty big box if that was a funny label.
My spammers offer this sage advice:
“One understands that our life is very expensive, but we need cash for different stuff and not every man earns enough money. Hence to get fast personal loans or just short term loan will be a correct way out.”
Of course the machine sending this doesn’t realize that it is being sexist and saying that men are stupid enough to get a payday loan. I love how it is descriptive with what you could use it for – “stuff”. I had a teacher who would freak out if you used that word. ”STUFF — I’LL STUFF YOU IN A MOMENT!”, she would yell. She had a thing against the word ‘it’ as well.
It’s been a while so I suppose I should head in for a physical. You know, now that I’m in the worst shape of my life. I could spend some time before hand trying to improve my physique by just doing general exercise. But I’m more the kind of person who just likes to game the system. So instead of working hard every day, I think I’ll just find out what tests they will be performing and train in those ‘events’.
They want me to run 5 minutes on a tread mill? That’s what I’ll do- 5 minutes each day for a month. I’ll be the fastest person to run 5 minutes but at 5:01 I’ll pass out from fatigue.
They want me to blow into a spirometer? I’ll get my own spirometers in all shapes and colors and start practicing my huffing skills.
You get the picture. Just enough so I can get an A on the test while still having no real knowledge at all. That’s what I learned in school.
Hilarious!
I assumed that because I was getting new spam, the filter must have been taken down.
I was wrong – the mad mad blog spammers have just gotten past it. Which explains the poor quality of spam post. See, if they had spent more time on their punctuation and grammar and less on figuring out how to defeat my catcha, I would have nothing to write about.
Smoking is the most common cause of lung cancer but it’s not the only cause. Asbestos cancer is also a prevalent form and results from breathing in asbestos. That’s why it is so very important to be wearing the proper breathing apparatus when dealing with the substance. Sometimes people who know that asbestos can cause cancer don’t know where it occurs in the home. It can be in insulation, in your ceiling and even in your tiles. Always use caution when removing these items from the home and know that even if it costs more now, it’s far better than the possibility of a death sentence later.
My sweet webmaster has removed the filter on the spam and, sure enough, we’re getting it again. Ladies and gentlemen, I can’t describe the euphoria I’m feeling. I get to see the creme de la creme of spam coming through.
Sure there hasn’t been much yet, but I’ve got one for you:
“…
This publish may perhaps be pointed out on Twitter by someone. really?…”
The dot dot dots belong to the spam machine. Because there was a moment (right after it decided to comment and before it thought of something to type) in which it didn’t want me to think I was being ignored. Even though I wouldn’t have seen anything till it hit post because it wasn’t IMing me. But a machine can’t think as logically as I can, so it must be forgiven for this punctuation faux pas.
I’m more interested in the web address that is included – myfonduepot.com. I’m not going to be the one who gets burned by going there and finding out its a website about how good pot is after being dipped in cheese. So you, my dear readers, may go to the site and then let me know. Of course I’ll be forced to turn you in to the police for your freaky fetish – watching pot being dipped in cheese oh… so… slowly.
It’s probably a good thing no humans comment – I’d be really embarrassed to find out that someone actually does read this blog after I’ve just written that. Sure I’m laughing my but off, but I just created a fetish for people to have now – pot porn.
I’m throwing caution to the wind and reminding you that if you are a human and posting a comment, remember to use the password (artichoke) in your post so that I don’t trash you too.
Weight loss drinks are all the rage but they’re something I really don’t understand. I’ve tried filling up on liquids just to feel full and I don’t think it’s working for me. Sure the drinks I’m using are Coca Cola, Mountain Dew and Sunkist (which my husband recently toled me has the highest sugar content of all the great classic sodas out there) but you’d think 2 liters of soda would keep me from eating half a [izza in one sitting. I just have a very stretchy stomach.
Is it ironic, or even interesting that I like spam comments and I also like the real SPAM stuff?
Woo Hoo I’ve found a problem with the new comment security thing that means I get to go back to getting spam – I hope. If you post a comment, it is automatically approved. You can write whatever you want and I don’t have to clear it as long as you put in the catcha thing right. It’s gotta be easier to go through them before they’re posted, right? Oh sweet webmaster, make my wish for spam come true. I’ll do anything 
See, I told you it’ll let you post anything.
I have become a fat burner. My oldest didn’t pass the Presidential Fitness test last year and I’ll be DAMNED if MY kid flunks a test, I don’t care what kind it is. Sure, you have to get into the 85th percentile which in many circles is considered a B but he couldn’t do any pull ups.
I blame myself, really. He hears my story about the presidential fitness test from when I was young and how they gave me 1 second on the flexed arm hang even though it was a total lie – I wasn’t up there for even half that time.
So now every morning, he and his brother and I go through the events of the test, practicing. He’s gone from 2 situps in a minute to 12 in just one week – it’s really been a matter of him finding his abdominal muscles. His little brother is trouncing us in that department. We also run around the house a bunch of times to simulate the long distance portion – he does 11 laps and I do 22. Of course that’s where my fat burning comes in and, though I don’t actually run the whole thing (because I don’t want to pass out, throw up and die) I have improved my time by a full minute and so has he. He’s blowing us out of the water on push ups and my bendy daughter walks in from time to time to school us in the v sit and stretch.
They’ll never beat me in the shuttle run, though. I’ve gotten down to 12 seconds and even though they’ve improved, I just don’t think they take it seriously enough. For me, this event is do or die – I have to beat them at something.
My daughter is 3 years old and I showed her the cookie dough I made up. Then I found out what a horrible mother I am. She didn’t know what it was. She is SOO OO OO deprived. I’ve been so busy trying to feed her healthy foods she’s never going to know what life is really about. And as we all know, life is about making cookie dough when your parents have gone out for a night on the town and polishing off a double batch, washing the dishes and getting the younger children, riding a sugar high, to go to sleep all before the folks get home so they don’t know about it.
My four year old will have to deal with that – she could identify the stuff in 2 seconds flat.
Hot Tub Time Machine was a very entertaining movie. So head into your backyard and fire up your hot tub. Chances are that it’s been a little while since you took a dip. If you don’t have one in your backyard, I’m sure a friend has one. Go for a visit. If you’re going to be spending so much free time over there in your friends hot tub, bring him a hot tub cover to keep the thing clean and secure.
Acne must be one of God’s biggest jokes on the adolescent masses. Where exactly did this affliction come from? I’ve never seen any other animal with giant, white, pus-filled growths on their face. Well, thankfully there is modern technology to save us from this affliction of the modern world. We really should be grateful that we’re worrying about acne instead of more serious, life-threatening conditions. Talk to your doctor about pronexin to see if it’s what you need to clear your face of unsightly dots.
Having a blast on your new diet? Probably not. Diets are not the most fun part of living in the modern era. But you should make sure that your diet is getting you all the results that you want it to. If you talk to your doctor about your health, research some hcg diet protocol, and get an appropriate amount of exercise, then you can be trim and fit with all the energy that you want. It doesn’t take a fancy meal plan to shed those pounds, just eat healthier foods in smaller portions.
Yeah, I know that you’re saying to yourself, “No really, what does Voltron have to do with anything.” Ok, here goes.
There are a lot of people in this country that truly believe that every Democrat, liberal, progressive, or whatever you want to call yourself is nothing more than a baby-killing, Communist, fascist, snobby wackjob. Well, they’re right (for the most part). The other half of the country things that every Republican, right-wing, tea partyist is nothing more than a war-mongering, Capitalist, polluting, racist redneck. And you know what, they’re right, too (for the most part). There was a time when I disagreed with a lot of that, but then I actually had time to listen to these morons that we elect every even year.
Ok, the oil spill in the Gulf is a big story, right? How is this not the biggest story of ALL TIME? We’re still talking about the Euro, and the stock market, immigration in Arizona, Greece. Obama hears BP’s newest plan to cap the leak, and says, “Go for it.” And the plan fails. If this had happened in the Bush years, would everyone be reacting the same way? Wouldn’t we be hearing about how Bush is single-handedly destroying the world? Wouldn’t John Stewart stroke out with the limitless opportunities for taking down a Republican? Seriously, why is the oil company allowed to try and ‘save’ the well over and over again, while the oil destroys everything? Obama’s all, “Let BP stop the leak.” And that’s all we can do? How about we bring in the Army Corps of Engineers and all the badasses that stopped the Kuwait oil fires? Drop a couple of megatons of high explosives and blow the hole closed!
The sad thing is that even if Bush had done exactly that and closed the hole days after it opened, he would be getting more flak from the left that Obama is for leaving it open for weeks.
So you’re thinking that I’m a right-winger, right? Well, not quite. I’ve paid enough attention to know that the politicians of both sides are just lying to us. What really changed for having Bush around for eight years. Weren’t we promised a smaller government that worked better and was less oppressive. How did we end up with a much larger government that deregulated by just not watching anymore. Deregulation was supposed to be about making it easier to do business the right way, not about bribing your way to no oversight and milking the stock market for a couple of billion dollars.
Some of you may say that this is the way that it’s always been, and that may well be true. It just took me a little bit longer to see it and realize where I stood with things. Most people view themselves as belonging to one side of the political spectrum, just like I used to. But just like my time with 80′s cartoons, aligning yourself with a political viewpoint is silly and unwatchable.
We continue to Star Wars and the NBA and some more politics too.
Shouldn’t we all be able to smell our breath. I mean, our nose is right there. It’s just hanging out right on top of the mouth. It’s even pointed in the general direction of the mouth. The mouth is even blowing out air about half the time. So if you have some really bad breath, you should be able to smell it. If your friend has let you know that you have bad breath, you can go online for some bad breath treatments.
There are a number of things that I can now look back on and realize that they are not how I remember them. Memory is a very strange thing. We seem to remember how we felt about a certain thing rather then remembering exactly what a thing was. Allow me to elaborate.
Voltron.
Yes, the giant robot lions that can transform into a giant robot sword-wielding space dude was just about the most awesome thing that ever struck my 7-year-old eyes back in the mid-80′s. Other kids were enthralled by He-Man or G.I. Joe, but I was a die-hard Voltron-holic. I had the toys and played with them constantly (hell, I still have them in the garage). Long after the show was on the air, I continued to remember Voltron with good feelings.
Then the internet was invented.
That is just about the worst thing I have ever seen. How did I like this? Was every kid in the 80′s an idiot, or was it just me? I hope it wasn’t just me? That’s right, I’m hoping that we were all idiots. Hooray for the future of the country.
So what does this have to do with do with politics or the NBA or anything at all? Well, it’s like this. The things that I believed and treasured in the past aren’t necessarily the things that I treasure now. I still love the idea of Voltron. What’s not to love about giant space robots? But the show itself is unwatchable. I’ve changed. Most people don’t really care that I used to watch Voltron, but now I can’t stand the seizure-inducing train-wreck of a cartoon. Politically, I used to accept everyone and everything on the right and automatically despise all things left. Things change.
