Sushi has an "ick" factor for me after a while. Like french fries an hour after preparation.

You went from "probably an all-nighter" to "I'm going to bed", so I assumed as much :p

I have people who ask me if a cannon and rifles qualify as weapons and am stunned by that decision-making :eek:

One of my favorite Simpsons quotes:

One of the twins: "I'm so hungry I could eat at Arby's!"
Nelson (I believe): "Wow - she really is hungry."

I am awaiting a UPS delivery this morning, as well!^ So, need the 'cash' infusion in my bank a/c!!:eek::rolleyes: Love that float!;)

+! -- mine should be here any minute now :p :p :p
I don't do the float. I turn them around as fast as possible. I've got another order that will be billed soon! :cool:

I float on the credit card for a bit - I don't order enough in coins that requires me to go to the bank immediately in order to pay the credit card bill.

I just bought some artwork I've been wanting to get for years. Now I have to figure out where to have it framed. I'm really suspect when it comes to local framing shops...

Wish I could provide advice but custom framing is a decision I'll probably never have to make.

I'm about halfway thru it. So far I'm the only suspect that the Hardys have as a connection to an Atlantic City-based Asian DVD bootlegging ring. The writer reversed my last name for the character but kept some of my real physical characteristics, so I'm a blond Italian.

Oh. Wait.

I just dropped $1,000 on flights to YYZ. :mad::rolleyes: Great googly moogly, I'm astounded at that price. In other news, I just swapped working in Canada to the Caribbean with a coworker. My magic 8 ball says they'll be regretting that decision come February. :cool:

Big hahas on both counts.

This is true. I could go on at length about this, but I know the only way I'll live outside the country for any length of time is if I make myself single to do it. I don't think she could handle it. :( Me, OTOH, I'll try nearly anything once.

My waistline wholeheartedly agrees.

It would have to be within the Ticketmaster purchase limit. I learned the hard way last season that when asking about Devil-Ranger games, the group departments from both teams have a simple message: Is Not Possible.

If I time it right, I can turn around the whole credit line on the card I've been using more than twice within each billing cycle. :eek: It also means timing things right with the bank, which is a bit tricky. :eek:

I've done that with my AmEx. However, the line with them has been increased sixfold this year - I would draw scrutiny if I did that now.

Holy cow....sounds more like Detroit than Houston. Pretty soon we'll have to start referring to it as a "flaming pit that is at times also festering".

I hate dealing with ticketba$stard....they're such a monopoly! That company really needs to be torn apart so there's some competition. I don't know how the anti-trust guys haven't gotten hold of them.

There is a firebug on the loose. So far, he/she seems to be restricting activities to The Heights.

Yeah and the last few have been a little too close for comfort. Thankfully no has been hurt.

I've been trying to get up earlier and earlier to take the dog on a walk and keep my eyes out for the idiot setting the fires. They all seem to take place around 5:40am.
