Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!

So, I wondered if there was period of time today the cable guy was going to show and I called Time Warner; I was told my appointment was tomorrow at noon, which is not what the young lady told me on Saturday: today at 2 pm.

The next time to deal with this? Saturday 12-4. Goddam it.

Well, I guess you found your something new to rant about!

But it's so ephemeral.

I voted and then enjoyed Starbuck's new Thanksgiving blend.

Does it have garlic butter in it?

I mailed my ballot in about three or four weeks ago.  By then, I figured no one was going to do or say much of anything that would change my mind.  Piss me off maybe-- but not change my mnd.   :-\

I'm hopping off-line now to write for a bit and then head back down to continue visting with the Winchester boys, Dead and Sam.

The character's name is Dead?

When we first moved into this neighborhood, one of my neighbors asked if I had met "Bourbon Dick" yet. I wondered what we got into by moving here. I found out later that she said "Berb" (short for Bernice) and "Dick."

It cracks me up.   I think I met Bourbon Dick in high school.

Yes, TCB....as in  "Dead Eye Dick!"  They just call him "Dead" for practical reasons.







No, the character's name is "Dean", but he has been dead...and dead he will again be one day.

No, but I hear it has plenty of sage and pepper.

Just as I keep forgetting that Jose isn't always eating ice cream, I sometimes forget that Ron P is not some smart-alecky 18-year-old fraternity kid.  The power of avatars.  :)

I voted by mail last week. I should have stopped at Starbucks.

You still can!

*And if you happen to get one of the new Starbucks Gold cards, you can actually get a free drink of your choice too - and 10% off any other purchase - including merchandise.

I got neither a free sticker nor a free coffee.

Well... How about a free Krispy Kreme donut? Or a free scoop of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream?  Or a Chik-fil-A sandwich?.... ;)

I just wrote a long paragraph about Facebook.  When I read it it just seemed "rude" so it has been deleted.

I just can't be bothered with most of the links etc there.  I have enough trouble keeping up with emails and HHW.  I do check facebook from time to time but am more likely to respond by email.

That said, I have taken the advantage of "chatting" with some people I don't find here these days.

I do appreciate the contacts but I don't know how people find the time.  I'm retired and I don't!

DR Tomovoz - I know what you're talking about.  Thankfully, Facebook has "Ignore" and "Block Application" buttons which make things a bit easier to deal with.

*And, again, be careful of the Apps you add.  You never really know just how much information those Apps pull from your profile - and from your friends' profiles.

*And it also helps to change your E-mail notifications too if you haven't done so already.

Well, I'm back home, and I'm purposely not watching the news until sometime around 9:00 or 10:00.  However...
