I’ve been working on my theme for the last few days. I’ve always wanted to widen the post and sidebar areas, unfortunately I’m not skilled at CSS so I kept putting it off, now it’s down. I’m very pleased.

Yesterday my Husband handled a request from Merle Haggard to install a Data line at his home, A T1 I think. Maybe he’ll read this and leave more info. Our daughter Rickie wasn’t very impressed but I think it’s cool.

The “recent Spat” of Waffle House armed robberies has been brought to an end, Thank GOD. I was getting a little irritated with the local police for hiding and waiting for someone to rob us. They would park all around our location in unmarked cars just waiting, never asking us if we wanted to be their bait. I’ve only been working for Waffle House for 5 weeks and I’ve received 3 different calls from management alerting me to a robbery that had just occurred. They would let us know to lock the door if anything looks suspicious (yes Waffle House has locks on the doors). I hope these guys they’ve arrested get the help they need and learn how bad they can fuck some up mentally by pointing a gun at them. part of me wants them to rot then the other part is saying they’re probably very young and had a hard life give them a break.

Woogle, Toogle and Google Fight

September 29, 2005 | Filed in: Gallery, Humor, Internet News, SnapShots and Such

WOW! 3 new novelty sites that take advantage Google and Google Images search engine.
And I thought the fun was all over with Guess The Google.

“Woogle is a search toy based on the ever popular Google Image Search. It creates image messages out of the words in the phrase you entered. The URLs are obfuscated so that you can pass them to your friends without them being able to read the message till they view the page. We hope you enjoy passing cryptic image messages!”

“Toogle is a Text version of Googles Image Search. Currently it creates images out of the very term that was used to fetch those images, later we will endeavour to create images out of the search terms entered by users past and present. But for now please, go play.”

Last but not lease I’ve come across “Google Fight” This is my Favorite of the 3. It allows you to take 2 search strings and pit them against each other to see which is the more popular search term. Just in case you had nothing better to do!

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of “hook up” and “break up.”

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as “dressed up.”

10. You’re the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next door won’t turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald’s leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You take naps.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle, your stomach.

19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer “pretty good stuff.”

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

22. “I just can’t drink the way I used to” replaces “I’m never going to drink that much again.”

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them instead of asking “Oh S*$# what the hell happened?”

Bonus:
26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn’t apply to you and can’t find one to save your sorry old butt. Then you forward it to a bunch of old pals & friends ’cause you know they’ll enjoy it & do the same.
