Side note – does anyone know how the @#$% you’re supposed to embed photos on this thing? The only ones that work for me are youtube.

Update:  I’m a moron. I meant to say “videos”.

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters
no ull poop it out

Do as I say, not as I do

Ironically, one day after passing along new, life changing information about not eating mold I found myself with a serious dilemma. It might have been mold. I told myself it was flour. I didn’t even brush it off.

Can I cut the mold off the bread/cheese and eat the rest?

No posts in July. You all suck, but I suck more.
Anyways school is about to start up and I for one am glad that CNN is giving us helpful tips on how to stay healthy this year. Today’s tip: Don’t eat mold.

That stalker in the bushes is really just your credit card

According to this wired article:
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/06/rfid-enabled-phones-would-let-credit-card-companies-track-users/

the RFID chips used in new cell phones might be able to be tracked by credit card companies! They say it’s to prevent fraud-ie: If you are using your cc and you’re cell is right  there, there you are not being cheated!

I’m just glad that credit card companies are completely honest with us and would never try to screw consumers over. Ever.

We got kitties! I blogged about it (and posted pics) on my blog.

Chicago Trip

We need to plan this.

Early August works for us. Also be up for early July possibly but that’s a bit more of a squeeze.

The Cubs are in town July 2-8 and 10-12, August 11-16 and the 25-31.

Prefer August. Let’s hear from you.

***Update***
July’s out (specifically 6-20). August still in play.

Ugh

I hate when students complain about grades. Specifically when it hardly matters, A- vs an A and other stupid shit.
