With technology voting is easy, just do what the flash game tells you to. This cool flash game evaluates you and your personal ethics with 10 easy questions. Then tells you who the top three people you should vote for… if only I had three votes, shoot. Looks like Mitt will be getting my one vote. Anyway, thanks to Rachel for sharing. Find out who you should vote for.
If you are like me and you have trouble disciplining yourself when it comes to chocolate goodness, here is a little tidbit I have learned. Basically we have a lot of chocolate candy still left over from Christmas, and when it is just sitting there in the pantry, I eat it all day. I open the pantry door, and that is what I see and it seems tasty, so that is what I grab (rather than granola or something). I’m not too worried about gaining weight and such, but I am worried about eating chocolate all day and nothing else!
So anyway, one time Pace was trying to hide all our sweets from Chase so he wouldn’t see it, and Pace also wouldn’t tell ME where it was hidden. So naturally, I had to seek it out, and I eventually found it in a closet. But the thing is, I kept it there because it wasn’t quite so accessible! So this is the idea: You don’t have to have NO candy in your house, because that would be terribly torturous. Just put it in a spot where it’s not staring you in the face, and it’s not as likely to be consumed on such a regular basis. Hm, I think I’ll go have some chocolate now.
Yuck bleah, ewwww! Just read this headline “Fans ponder Dumbledore gay revelation”. I know some big Harry Potter fans, and all I have to say is..I’m sorry, but your author is a sell out. I see this as J.K. Rowling’s taking a big pay out from some pro gay group. Who writes 7 books and then just as the last one is coming out says oh yeah, that main character, he’s gay.
From the press conference: “I announce Dumbledore is gay, and please understand the new movie will be rated X due to the love scene, oh by the way, Harry is gay too, oh and by the way Ron is a republican (since they paid more than the democrats) oh and by the way Lord Voldermort loves the NRA. To have your group represented by one of my characters, please send large amounts of cash to J.K. Rowling’s, PO Box S10UT, England. Thank you.” –source
Thoughts? This change anything for you die hards?
“A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival.
The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage. Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers tried to recover it.
“There’s a good chance he was drunk or drugged. Only an idiot would jump into the bear cage,” zoo director Vuk Bojovic told Reuters.
Local media reported that police found several mobile phones inside the cage, as well as bricks, stones and beer cans.” –via CNN
OK I’m tired of hearing this in email after email… everyone who reads this try it and post your experience.
SECOND Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone.
If you lock your k eys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call
someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell
phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home
press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end.
Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no
object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who
has the other “remote” for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the
trunk). Editor’s Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car
over a cell phone!”
Apparently this one is BUSTED!
Shock and awe some more! So I’ve been a fan of this company since I played football on their stuff at the BYU indoor sports complex. They make a residential version, so when Jason McGowan ripped up his yard I naturally invited him to check out this lazy man’s yard. His yard was roughly 2000 sq feet, makes sense if paid around 4, or even 6 thousand to cover it with quality artificial grass. Nope, try 16,000!!! Wow, I couldn’t believe it, 16 thousand dollars. I don’t understand how the company is still around, it’s like selling Iron Doors for 10,000! 🙂
Why did we make electronics so fragile? I was setting up my work computer to work as a DVR via windows media center. As I was plugging in the tv tuner card, I got a shock on my finger, a very small one mind you but a shock none the less meaning I had generated electricity from my leg hair rubbing the carpet plus dry air, and bam two seconds later my computer shuts itself off… and smells funny. Now I’ve had computers shut off before and that’s never a problem but when a computer starts smelling like a toaster… THAT’S NEVER GOOD! So a day and plenty of anger later I’ve pulled what important files I could remember off the HD and sent it off to HP for a manufacturers warranty replacement of the mother board, which brings me to the ranting part…
Upon my trial and error test and deciding finally that I should take it to the Geek squad to confirm that I was right. Upon getting to the Geek Squad I was greeted with no smile, no love, and a guy who said yeah it’s probably your motherboard, or your processor. I said you sell motherboards? No he said comp usa does. So off to Comp USA, there I found Adam, happy and not wearing a geek uniform. He told me it would be silly for it to be the processor (whew, big price diff between board and cpu) and then he said hey is it under warranty.. I said huh? He scanned a number and five seconds later he told me they would fix it for free, only problem is it would have to be there a week and it might have to have the HD wiped clean… well thank you nerd squad, you were much much more helpful than the Geek Squad!
I sent an email to a guy yesterday, and today I get this email:
In an effort to eliminate junk email, I am using ZoneAlarm Security Suite.
ZoneAlarm Security Suite has placed your message on hold.Please click the button below so you will be added to my Allowed people list, I will receive your email, and we will be able to communicate freely going forward.

How much junk mail would drive you to use a program that turns instant communication into 48 hour delivery service!? How sad. SO I had to click on the link in the email… which took me to a page that said, now your email will be sent.
If any reader of this blog uses such services, I frown on you. And say if you get THAT much junk mail, maybe it’s time to stop putting your real email on all the “win a free ______” sites you’re going to! Now what really peeves me off is the price! You pay 50 bones to have your email become snail mail… stupid
Last night we watched the movie An Inconvenient Truth at our place with Brad and Tiffany. TMom sent it to us after viewing it, so we decided to give it a shot. Not your typical romantic Friday night date, but, hey, our brain cells increased as Al Gore showed us a plethora of graphs which all indicated steadily rising temperatures, sea levels, and carbon dioxide levels, worldwide. I already knew that this was happening, and always felt depressed about the whole thing. Al really made it hit home with his in-depth explanations and his personal stories to go along with them. I found it fascinating (let me see if I get this right) that when the sun’s rays hit the North Pole, 90% of them are reflected off the ice, back up into the air. But when the rays hit water, 90% of them are absorbed, so the water gets hotter as the ice melts, which melts more ice, which causes more of the sun’s rays to be absorbed into the ocean, causing warmer waters. Does that make sense? It’s kind of crazy.
A criticism of the documentary is that he spent about five minutes of it going over his loss to President Bush in the presidential elections. I did not think that had anything to do with all this, but I’m sure it made the Republicans feel a tinge of guilt for not voting for him so he could save the earth. Also, he should have spent less time discussing the problem and more time discussing the adjustments we could all make to be part of the solution. Some of these suggestions, which were just listed at the very end of the movie, were to buy Energy Star appliances, insulate your home better (windows, etc.), walk/ride a bike or get a vehicle with better gas mileage…. basically you have to have plenty of money to make a big difference all at once. But small contributions can be made by using less gas and electricity and also recycling!!! Utah definitely needs to jump on the bandwagon for that last one, seeing as how 2 people in our whole neighborhood actually pay the 5 bucks a month it costs to recycle. Why does it cost money to recycle here? It isn’t much money, but apparently people either don’t see recycling as a priority, or they don’t want to put forth the extra cash each month to help in this whole save the earth thing. I mean, it’s kind of a big deal because at least in our household, the vast majority of our waste (meaning garbage, in this case) is recyclable! Luckily, our next door neighbors are kind enough to let us just throw all our recyclables into their can, so we get to save the earth without spending that dreaded extra 5 bucks a month.
Anyway, what do you think?
Answer me this. We have basic cable and for five bucks all the basic HD channels. So ABC and ABC HD right… well Discovery is on basic cable, but we don’t get Discovery HD! Are we getting robbed… you bet we are! SO I emailed Comcast to see what explination they had for such rottenness. I’ll let you know what their reply is.
Sign (leave a comment) this e-petition so I can send them proof of how stupid their reasoning is.
