Just got back from being paid $25 US to eat half a sandwich....

zelda_pinwheel · 09-03-2008, 06:47 PM

wow. nobody ever pays me to eat half a sandwich. pity too, since i do that frequently. i could have been rich by now.

Greg Anos · 09-03-2008, 06:51 PM

It wasn't bad, but a bit heavy on the bell peppers. I can't say more due to non-disclosure agreements....

(I'm on a list for doing consumer surveys. This one took about an hour, with commute time included. Pays better than political surveys....)

You don't have to ask twice.

YES !! and you will soon learn that that question, around here, leads to your chocolate supply decreasing at an alarming rate.

Oh yes .... we are different. No question. Now, I can enjoy sitting down and writing HTML as well as the next nut, but CSS has been known to give me a giant pain in my tush.

Now see ... there's a job I could probably learn to love.

Arg .... well, based on the prevailing wind, and the clouds and everything else, I see I am going to need to shut down the computer soon. We are about to have one of those "Screw the laundry, Mildred!! Get yourself down into the damn root cellar!! I just saw the Harrison's cow fly by!" sorts of storms. It is generally best not to be using plugged in .... well anything ... when one of these things parks near your house. Great way to end up as a crispy critter (and whatever happened to Crispy Critters anyway?? Are those still available??)

So ... gonna go off to the mailbox (it's only about a mile and a half ... but I just do not feel like walking), grab a movie, put it in the one DVD player that has a really long battery life and watch me a move ... then I'm going to read. Right after I feed the cats .... can't forget that. Must feed cats.

Perhaps, but even more so are users pasting tables into a so-called WYSIWYG HTML editor from MS Word.

Right now I just came back from a harrowing day, sweating like a pig and going straight to the bathtub... after I log out.

We're expecting increasing rain, with some localised flooding this evening. They're saying we should expect some falls of around 100mm (about 4") in an hour, but...we'll see. Stuff like that isn't easy to predict. At the moment it's just raining.

Right now I am posting an official notice that the Ministry of Unutterable Silliness T-Shirt and Paraphernalia shop is NOW OPEN: https://www.cafepress.com/musilliness

More designs coming soon!

zelda_pinwheel · 09-03-2008, 08:23 PM

rightnow i am bouncing up and down and clapping my hands with glee at my impending possession of a SSCMDB t-shirt, and trying (so far unsuccessfully) to talk myself out of buying about 50 *other* t-shirts as well.

nekokami · 09-03-2008, 08:32 PM

Um. The point of the buttons was that you could buy one shirt and then load it up with buttons and thereby get the maximum dose of silliness for the lowest price.

zelda_pinwheel · 09-03-2008, 08:33 PM

i know. but i don't actually like buttons nearly as much as i like t-shirts. that's the fatal flaw in the plan. hopefully it will work for others though.

nekokami · 09-03-2008, 08:36 PM

Oh well, I tried!

In other news, commodity prices of cotton and polyester soared, puzzling economists worldwide....
