checking off the list

the list of things on the to do list of things to do, see... so today i checked off banking as i spent more than an hour at the bank moving money around, opening a savings account, setting up auto deposits, and applied for the pre-approved credit card they were trying to sell me on the phone and at the branch... i was on the phone with the bank because their text message notifications have gone haywire... i've received dozens of the same message today... the techie said it was a known issue and they are working on it... fine, hopefully the text messages stop soon...

and then i went to the post office to pick up mail and i was gonna ask why i didn't receive a bill for my po box cuz it is usually due in august but maybe i paid for two years last year or maybe they just haven't gotten around to putting the bill in my box yet (rooting for possibility #1) but i didn't get in the ridiculously long line and continued with the to do list...

the next few hours was spent wandering around the human zoo, walmart... i know, horrible stuff happens in third world countries and the usa has become a caste society largely because of walmart and the corporate america that walmart represents, but poverty is a sad and lonely warped merry go round that leads us to the lowest prices out of necessity (nice little trap they've set up for us, but that's a philosophical socio-economic discussion for another blog, at least)... almost three hundred dollars later i carry more than a dozen bags of groceries and stuff into our living space and now can eat at home for at least a two months, which is exactly what the budget needs...

the side benefit of the busy day running errands and extended wandering around the human zoo was the foot and leg got a lot of exercise and it is starting to feel less charley and more horse (or is that the other way around)... then, i heated up last night's leftovers and we had dinner and watched rizzoli & isles, which is a fairly standard formula cop show with fairly predictable plot lines and cheesy humor, but it's saving grace is great eye candy...

hope your day was productive and reasonably justifiable too (narf :}

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
