I was planning to get my dad digital cable for Father's day since he'll be laid up for as long as two months. He canceled his cable a long time ago because he thought he was spending too much time in front of the TV. And once he got a digital converter box, and now has 4 or 5 UNC tv channels, he is pretty happy without cable. BUT... I know that ( Read more... )

I was watching tv and House was on. It was a sad episode that I have seen before. I started watching it because even though it is sad, it was just the last half, and I have seen it before.

I unpacked a box. Yes, it was sitting in the floor, but it was a nice, neat box of random stuff. Then, with little piles of random shit all over the floor, I find an old check. I try to call the company to make them re-issue it, but it is just past 5. So, I play a little "Cruise Tycoon" but that gets old quick, so I go online. Yep. My living ( Read more... )

I guess the definition of overwhelmed is that it just gets to be too much, and you feel like you can't deal. But when I get overwhelmed, it happens in a major way. Maybe I should leave more of my psycological resources (aka- sanity) in reserve for when I really need it ( Read more... )

So, there's that crazy lady in California who had octuplets. The media has decided she is the "octo mom" but that's just stupid. She has a few different names on the books too. So, let's just assume you know who I'm talking about ( Read more... )
