My rant for the day:

I was recently given a Blackberry Bold 9700 by my brother (he switched to an iPhone), i synced the new phone with my Blackberry Desktop App (which both my husband and I use for our blackberrys) and somehow this stupid thing synced his Blackberry Messenger contacts to my phone . It now thinks that I'm him and his Blackberry Messenger no longer works with his other contacts (I can still message him). I've tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it but it still shows his contacts on my phone. I posted my issue on the Blackberry Forums a while ago, hopefully someone there can help me. This has never happened before with my Curve 8330, and all I did was sync my Outlook contacts. How does this crap always happen? All I wanted to do was use the newer phone until my contract expires so I could get a Galaxy SII. Maybe the Blackberry gods knew what I was planning and this is their punishment for me for being a traitor.

My anti-rant for Friday, April 13, 2012:

I've been pleasantly surprised that despite all the rain and warm weather we've had, the number of mosquitoes I've seen to date can be counted on one hand with at least one finger to spare.

My rant for Friday, April 13, 2012:

The Mosquito Guild must have sent out an email to all their members stating, "Party at Tom Sharpe's house!" Suddenly they're as thick as molasses in my backyard.

Well, put the molasses over in one corner. Maybe they'll all congregate there, and leave you alone! (or do mosquitos like raw steak better??)

Mosquitoes are attracted by Co2, warm (not hot) surfaces, and blood. Fill a natural sausage casing with blood, place it inside a plastic box, and give a squirt with a Co2 cartridge and semi-close the box... It will fill with Mossies in no time flat!

Don't forget the plastic box with a semi-sealing lid. And as Wannabee reminds us, it may be wise to pick up a few wooden stakes just to be on the safe side.

If you have good aim, a .22 works too, but not for the vampires.

Reminds me of the Beverly Hillbillies episode when Jed and Jethro are picking off flies on a tree at the front gate with their rifles.

And once it's done attracting the mosquitos, you can boil it up and have some delicious black pudding!
