The Dish folks rent you the receiver and charge you a fee for the DVR to work. You can buy the receiver and save some money.
Yay, Count!!! <flinging confetti with wild and reckless abandon>
I think it’s time for me to hit the sheets. Even tho I have to keep the windows closed. Stoopit humidity.
Nighty-night!
Go into a round room & pee in the corner. :dubious:
Just how close do you live to the strip joint?
Note my correction; there aren’t any Bieber songs that are great!!!
Yeah, Count!
Are they still hiring? 
That must be defined by the location of the spiderwebs.
Got it!
Mictecacihuatl is the Queen of the Mictlan, the deepest and northernmost level in the Aztec underworld. This is where the bones of the dead end up and it is Mictecacihuatl’s role to guard them. The fear is that if somebody can steal the bones, they can reanimate the dead. So Mictecacihuatl is preserving the world from being overrun by zombies.
Mictecacihuatl also goes out each dawn and swallows all of the stars in the sky so the sun can come out and the day can begin.
Mictecacihuatl was once a living being from a race that existed before humans. She was sacrificed to the Gods as an infant but in the underworld her skeleton lived on and grew into adulthood. She gained power as the centuries passed until she became the ruler of the underworld alongside her husband Mictlantecuhtli, the Holy Death.
Mictecacihuatl is known by many names. She is Saint Death, the Lady of the Shadows, the White Lady, the Black Mother, the Holy Girl, and the Skinny One.
The Mexican holiday the Day of the Dead is dedicated to Mictecacihuatl.
You can see why Aztec mythology isn’t used in any Disney movies.

Boy could I use a Firday right about now.
The first day of school was good, though. I’m definitely envisioning a nap when I get home tonight after school.
Rosie’s sig to everyone. Maybe I’ll have more time to read and digest what I’ve read later.
Aw, c’mon, you don’t think the good folks at Disney could come up with a cute-n-cuddly zombie flick based on the Aztecs with all the appropriate marketing tie-ins? 
Good morning! It’s another crabber day, altho none of mine have logged in yet today. I will be doing laundry since I’m just about out of whites. I’m thinking about stripping the bed also. In fact, I may even run the vacuum cleaner today! :eek: You read that right.
Beyond that, dunno. It’s supposed to be hot and muggy today. I don’t know when **FCD **is planning to come home, but I fear he’ll be riding thru some rain, since we’re promised some tomorrow and Firday. But the weekend is looking nice, so there’s that!
Happy Wednesday!!!
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis a hyooomid but clear 71 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 91 and ONLY a forty percent chance of rain for the day.
Spidey not close to a strip joint but I do live not far from the “Southwest Georgia Sportsmen’s Club.” I think their big activity is drinkin’ and shootin’ at targets so sometimes I her boombooms from there. 
Count congrats on the new gig!
StickyBuns yay for a good first day of skool!
Thanks for the input re Dish Network and DirectTV y’all. Though their commercials get on my nerves, Dish Network does look to be a better deal. Stoopid cable company.
Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy wants to be fed. Then, alas and alack, irk purtification must commence.
MOOOOOOM glad the interview went well. I am surprised to know you didn’t tell 'em about your five year plan to become Emperess of the World. 
Happy Hump Day Y’all!
No no no. Evil is “Hey Mickey” on repeat. Do I have to prove this?I guess I do.
I guess it’s time to head back to irk. I’m not looking forward to the mess I know I’ll find.
Blurf**3.
Evil is looping Minnie Ripperton’s Greatest Hits.
She had more than “Loving You”?? That’s on my hate list, right next to “Muskrat Love” :eek:
No crabbers yet, so looking at another day without pay, dammit. It’d be nice if I heard back about yesterday’s interview. Meanwhile, I’ve got a load of unders in the washer, so there’s that.
Morning all,
Congrats Count!
Yesterday my boss told me she wanted me to find out the truth. It took everything I had not to say to her:
/Jack Nicholson voice on/
"You can’t handle the truth.
"/Jack Nicholson voice off/
But seriously, how do you in a professional environment know if someone is telling the truth? This is not something like I can go into a computer system and check logs or anything, this is someone’s version of a timeline of events that occured or didn’t occur and there is no electronic trail. I just have to take their word. Now they do keep changing their story but I have no idea how to figure out when they have finally told me “the truth”. Plus I am a contractor, I can’t just go around accusing government people or even other contractors of lying or rearranging the facts or whatever. Sheesh.
Last night we discovered that our air conditioning unit is dripping through the walls and destroying the apartment below us. It seems an easy fix with a tube of sealant, but it still means our a/c is off for the time being, and it’s gonna get hot today.
Also, being but a woman, I’m concerned I’m going to screw up the fix. I’ll have to ask a big brawny neighbor to do it. I need to get a husband. Who cooks, because I don’t do that.
They were hiring a slew of people, but the interviewer ad them staggered every 15 minutes. They are in Bergen County, NJ… might be a bit of a drive… but it would be very cool to work with someone who posts here.
PS- I know that this is too late for Scarie to use This time, but it is my “nuke them from orbit” suggestion for next time. I’m of the opinion that everybody likes music of some kind or another but nobody likes commercials.
By me there is certain radio ad for a [del]scam[/del] 501-3-C charity called “Cars For Kids” with an extremely obnoxious jingle.
You’ll have to convert this to an MP3, add it to a playlist, set the playlist to loop, and then double your stereo volume. Make sure that before you hit “play” you have a clear path to an open front door, possibly with keys already in the lock.
Simply hit “play”… and then… Run!!! :eek:

PS- Thanks Jynx!!! Best of Luck on the date! The exhibit is amazingly interesting, but you won’t touch food for hours after the show. Might want to plan the restaurant first. Trust me.
Happy Hump Day!
It’s a cloudy 72 degrees with a projected high of 86.
Today’s agenda is to walk hellpup and irk.
I told Sah-son he needs to go through his stuff and decide what he is keeping and start packing. I know he won’t until the last minute but since he is so upset I’m not going to push it.
I still feel ick.
So I hope I’m not missing anybody
Good luck with job FCM I agree with* Loving You*, that song is like nails on a chalkboard.
Drea I have someone who wants to be my house husband. He cooks and cleans but he comes with a 4 year old and he has trouble finding a job.
YAY! Count
The Aztecs had some cool Deities but who can pronounce them?

Sorry if I missed anyone.
Back in the days when I lived in the city, my house was next door to the park and the drug dealers liked to hang out right outside my dining room window.
Black Sabbath did a pretty good job of getting rid of them. * N.I.B.* seemed to work best.
It’s after 9, and still no crabbers, so I’m pretty sure this will be a no-work day for me. Well, a no-pay day at least. I’ll still do a little housework. Very little, to be sure. 
I really should haul the vacuum out and de-crud the carpets. Really, I should…
RIP mousey 
Took her on a trip to the vet this morning. This leaves me with just the ex-housemate’s mice, which she’s left here. A friend’s taking them (temporarily, while I find them a permanent home) this weekend, so I’ll be mouseless from then.
Definitely blurfy today, after the fire alarm decided to go off for no reason at 3.27am…
Decided to make blackberry and apple pie, but when I went into the kitchen it was full of fruit flies- the aforementioned ex-housemate just left a load of vegetables in her cupboard when she walked out, and some of them were virtually liquid.
Cleaned up as much of the goo as I could, and tried to vacuum the flies off the ceiling… Sort of worked, and was kind of fun actually. Still, there’s definitely going to be some upsides to the sudden move…
Blackberries now defrosting on the stove, and I’m going to have to go put some David Bowie on loud while I’m cooking, because I realised I didn’t know ‘Tiptoe through the tulips’, despite having heard the name multiple times, and foolishly checked it out. shakes fist at Doggio
Aww, sorry about mousey. {{Filbert}}
Count, congrats on the job, even if it means Bergen County rush hour. At least it’s not Route 17 on a Saturday. 
now ***that’s ***evil.
I has a very big blurf and a major case of the don’wannas. It’s humid and I’m cranky and queechy
