Family has started to arrive for the impending Reed graduation of our niece.  We will be having a huge party over here on Sunday, which is of course Mother's Day.  Betsy's present is getting to cook for 20 people.  :)

Lucky Betsy.  Are you supplementing any of the food with goodies from my favorite market?

Is she a single Reed or a double Reed?

She's a biologist, which I believe makes her a Nerd.  :)

Why I Love Zach Department:  we had been experiencing this weird puddle of water under our refrigerator and I knew it had something to do with the auto defrost but couldn't figure it out (nor could two repairmen).  Well the other day I heard the trickle of water from the defrost, got a flashlight and discovered due to the engineering prowess of Whirlpool Corporation, the little tray they have in there to catch the effluent doesn't go far back enough to be totally under the tube that discharges the water.

So today I rigged up a bent piece of cardboard, stuck it in a Ziploc bag and had Zach shove it in the tray, dangling over the back lip so that any water will fall on it then drain into the tray.  I thought it was quite a brilliant lo-fi solution. Zach looked at me and said, "You know this is our most ghetto repair yet."  :)

Ghetto repair ?  Where does that come from? ;D

Is anybody familiar with the greeting card app on facebook?  It is really bugging the crap out of me.

Someone had sent me one and now this app has my info. Which i wouldn't mind except that it has selectively decided to send some of my friends cards. This i do not like.

It sent my aunt one today. It shows 4 people on a list that have birthdays coming up in the next few weeks. Beside that it says "send them a card.". That part is blank. So i didn't think it would send them cards. But obviously it is planning on it.

And i really don't want it to do this. Their help feature is not helpful at all. There was an email feature which i used. I guess if they don't respond then i will just disable it. There should be a much easier way to do this especially since i never signed up for this app (only read a card sent to me).

Does anybody know anything about what i should do?



If there is a way to "unlike" might be a way to stop it.

When someone sends me something and the app wants access to my info I refuse it.

You can't unlike it.  Normally i would also refuse an app. But it was a birthday card.

Anyhow if they don't email me back today then i will block the app. I find it really ridiculous that they would send cards without your permission.

I would think if someone sent you an app you would have the option to decline it.

It was a birthday card which i opened at the time. But now it has a list of people on my friend's list who have birthdays (not all just a few).

It should have a list but it should give you the option to send or not send the card. I feel bad because it sent my aunt a card from me and she thinks i actually sent it. But i don't want it sending cards to random people from me. So i think i will have to block the app.  I find it ridiculous.

I'm up - guess I really needed to sleep, and thankfully I somehow sensed I should get out of bed since I have to meet Juliana in twenty-five minutes.

I am back from the laundromat. The alarming news of the morning is that one of my neighbors posted a note in the elevator: yesterday afternoon, the door of his and his partner's apartment was spray painted. I wonder if it's a hate crime following Obama's pro-gay marriage stand? I do hope not. I'm sorry this has happened to two really wonderful and talented guys and I'm wondering if this vandalism was performed by another tenant in the building.

That's terrible! >:(

I applaud the two brave ladies who were arrested in North Carolina today for applying for a marriage license. It's bad enough that the Republicans keep throwing a White Anglo Saxon Protestant and a Catholic God into laws concerning a nation of many religions but it's sadder that so many assholes believe it should be this way.and support what I can only call a criminal state of affairs.

End of soapbox!

I loved Flicks when I was a kid.  Those foil-covered tubes made the candy seem special, some how.  Looking at them on line, I doubt they still would sell for ten cents a tube.

I'm sure they did. I didn't say they were stupid lesbians. I'm sure it was to begin something to chllenge the stupidity of the new law.

And Fizzies were the ultimate during the summer.  I don't even reember if the stores sold Fizzies all year long.  I always thought that root beer was the best, because it was almost like having a real can of soda.

I can't imagine that the state would have any reason to actually arrest them.

I just Googled myself to find that I am one of the busiest professional drummers in the Florida Keys.  This may be why I am so tired this morning.  Here I am playing drums at the Tiki Bar.

They were arrested because they refused to leave the premises after they were refused the right to apply for a marriage license, and yes, they planned on doing it so they could begin the process to challenge the hateful, mean-spirited Constitutional Amendment just passed in North Carolina.

Well, I don't think that I did it the way that you were supposed to do it.  My former car died and I went with my sister to a local dealer and took a test drive.  I went back the next day with my mom and she mentioned that I had a Costco card.  The guy said "no problem" and took care of everything.  I just paid $100 over their invoice price (that was the Costco deal).  Essentially, it worked out because the particular Ford dealer that I just happened to go to was a participating dealer.

I just found this link about How the Program Works.

And yes, I like the way that it worked back then. ;)
