Tow This
7 Oct 2008 11:15pm GMT Tow away Who gets to tow that? I imagine they will call the towing company next door to tow its own truck.I live next door to a towing company and they often park their trucks right outside my windows. I've never complained, but they are loud. When these police order signs went up, I was very thankful, and the street was bare for... gosh... at least the weekend. Today, they started parking out there again.
Fire!
22 Sep 2008 2:39pm GMT Fire! Jodi is awesome.Jodi signs up for a variety of giveaways, promotions, contests and such.Jodi wins stuff.This time it was a dinner for up to 8 people at the Golden Corral buffet. We didn't know that it was also a sales pitch for some kind new-fangled fire safety device.As seen in the picture, they roped in a herd of customers wanting a free meal and who were willing to sit through the presentation. Sylvia and I chose to skip the presentation and just enjoy a buffet meal on our own....

Bag O' baby
11 Sep 2008 1:53pm GMT Bag O' baby My local Wallgreen's store has everything. I had to stop in for some supplies today and there on an end-cap was a display containing this: Bag O' Baby. Not to make light of a tough situation, but man! Couldn't some people struggling with infertility get a false ray of hope from this? Like it's some kind of kit?Seriously, what do you do - just add water or something?
