Rambles




Finally went for my makeup shot, and from there to The Cottage for lunch. Carolyn was disappointed that they took deep fried oysters off the menu. As long as they serve a cold beer, I shall keep returning.

My eyes are screwed up again ...

Major League baseball would be well served to clean up its act; it is the most pathetic sport there is, but NASCAR is busting its but to lower itself to their standards.
----
I don't think the $75 billion homeowner bailout will help me any. The mortgage holders should take some responsibility for this mess, along with the over-financed homeowners like myself. You—the average taxpayer—did not get us into this mess, but it is again on your shoulders to bail us out. When will they ever learn?!
----
Poor, poor Comcast and Hewlett-Packard! Quarterly profits are down. I hope they never recover. Comcast is the sorriest company I've ever dealt with in customer service, and HP has gouged us to death with inflated ink prices for their so-so printers. Inflated? As of June 2008, some ink prices were equilivalent to $20, 000 per gallon! Screw them!
----
Some GOP governors are threatening to not accept the bailout money for states. Isn't that the same thing as saying "screw you" to their struggling citizens?
----
I better shut up before I get mad.

Nascar is close to baseball in stupidity.

I agree with you on the mortgage mess. Not really sure if this will really help at all.

All the cable companies suck. If they really cared they would give us the ability to pick ALL the channels we want and do it at a fair price. It is just like the cell phone companies who totally screw us. How is that in the rest of the world the totally destitute can afford a cell phone. In the rest of the world the price of the phone is high and the cost of usage is low. They also do not have the 2 year contract bullshit we have. We should be able to switch cell companies whenever we want with no penalties or fines.

I am mad, dammit.

Yours are all pet gripes of mine. Even if you pay a high price for a phone (as much as some big screen tv's) and you don't have a contract, you still pay out the nose. .10+ for a text message that doesn't cost the cell co. a bit more to transmit than it does voice. "Roaming" calls are ridiculously priced. And with all these new towers fucking up the world, the coverage is actually getting worse.
