I have two grass skirts icon_biggrin.gif Picked 'em up after Hallowe'en a couple of years ago...still unused though...

So far I've woken up with back and right shoulder pain wheeeeeh.gif

They're adjustable...they come really big and you're supposed to snip off what you don't need! icon_mrgreen.gif

Then, upon walking into the house, I realized that the $200 car payment I made yesterday was actual ~$25 more than I owe on the car, so I'm completely paid off AND I'm getting a refund check!  dance.gif  dance.gif  dance.gif

Does this mean I'm a grownup, now that I've bought my first car on credit and paid it off? icon_lol.gif  cocky.gif

Good for you! What are you going to do with all the extra cash at the end of the month?
Felix4067
Thanks VERY much! I've never paid anything off before, EVER (well, not if you don't count the bankruptcy)! It's kinda neat! icon_mrgreen.gif

I'll have to take a raincheck on the drinks...I'm about to head in to the office where I must concentrate on computer BS and math. icon_cry.gif

I have no idea what I'm gonna do with the extra money...originally, I was going to finally move out of the house again, but I was informed the other day that I will not be doing that any time soon. I'm seriously thinking of getting a lawn service, though...our township just passed an ordinance that if your grass is taller than 7 inches they will cut it for you and place a lien on your house until you pay for it.

I haven't done JACK today. I bailed on work when I woke up and discovered I had Anal Glaucoma (I just couldn't see my ass going into work today).

Wait - I tossed in some laundry and straightened up the living room. Gonna put Rusty back together later today.

That is a complete joke, what idiot's have the time to think up this rubbish. Yes gardens shouldn't be over grown but saying grass cannot be more than 7 inches is stupid icon_rolleyes.gif

This is what happens when you live in a suburb that has grown into yuppie hell the last few years because it's just far enough outside the city limits that they feel like they live in the "country". Also, the condo developments that bracket my neighbourhood have beautiful lawns (their association hires a service), so they are horribly offended by anyone who doesn't.

We have 1 1/2 acres, a push mower, one woman with bad knees and one woman who works 60-80 hours per week living here. The grass gets done something like once a month, typically. *sigh*

Woke up early so I could get my internet surfing in before work...only to discover that my connection has been down since 5:15am.

Called Comcast to let them know...AGAIN...and sat on hold for 27 minutes without anyone actually picking up the %$^#@#!% phone. Connection came back on, and since they'll be here in the morning, I hung up and just made a note.

Determined that if they don't fking FIX the problem, I'm going to have to cause someone great bodily harm. For this I pay $60+ per month? I don't fking THINK so! Bass-turds.


Edit:
Oh yeah, that word isn't filtered here...

Woke up in a bad mood because I went to bed in a bad mood.

Got home after leaving the computer on all day. As soon as I sit down I am bombarded with pop ups and virus warnings. I was like WTF. I don't think I had even touched the keyboard yet. And nod32 couldn't delete some of them so I pulled my internet conection and did a full scan. All of them where deleted except the one that infected window media player but I delete that file. So I jack back in, same pop up flood but now I can't get them off my system so I do re install. I was so pissed off.

I think it might have something to do with the group project we presented today. Ours was a little better then the other teams.

Or something. I bet this was a targeted attack.

-went to the Buffett show last night at the last minute. Almost bailed on it, due to a strange cracking sound coming from teh XJ's steering gearbox <I think the box itself is bad>. The Blazer's tires are tired, and have no spare, so didn't want to take it. Drove the wife's ZJ instead- it needed a shakedown cruise for long trips anyway-- passed with flying colors! Home by 12:45

-was awaken this morning by a very... "energetic".. wife... the best kind of wakeup!

Received a visit from my now-friend Scott, the Comcast tech. He's been here enough that we catch up on each other's lives when he visits, just like old friends. icon_rolleyes.gif

I now have a new cable modem, because he was at a complete loss, as were the other two tech he's called to ask them WTF was going on, and why he's here every 40-60 days.

Now I'm going back to bed. I have a headache from hell, which had BETTER NOT turn into a migraine, I have to work all weekend.
