There’s ANOTHER fricking theme update. AGAIN.
Dammit, I don’t wanna.
Full Page Ads SUCK
Seriously. I don’t care what kind of webpage you have, I don’t care how closely related the the ad (or PLEASE JOIN OUR MAILING LIST, or whatnot) is to the subject matter of your page. I DON’T CARE. Having my webpage hijacked so you can try to sell something is one of THE MOST ANNOYING thing, especially when I’m in a hurry and just trying to find a reference that I saw yesterday or some such.
Not only am I NOT going to buy whatever it is you just hijacked my page for, you make me want to read your page even less. FRICKING STOP IT.
And yes, this rant is brought to you by a webpage I normally read quite a bit of that normally has minimal ads, suddenly deciding that a full page hijack is nessecary to sell their new item. I actually suspect its an April Fools thing, you know what I DON’T CARE, YOU JUST HIJACKED MY SCREEN.

My head is killing me…
Allergies or early sinus infection I’m not sure, though likely the allergies caused the sinus infection if thats what it is. I was taking Clariton for them, but it wasn’t cutting it any more. At my doctors suggestion I’m trying Zyrtec now. We tried to go right to a higher powered prescrition med and my insurance had a cow, so we’re going to have to work my way up to it. I will say that since I don’t normally have sinus infections in the spring (fall yes, spring no) if thats what this turns out to be we’ll be giving up on the Zyrtec…..
Lottery
I have to admit that I bought $5 in tickets yesterday. I’ll occasionally drop the random $1 if the line at the counter isn’t to long, but for the amount currently at stake I’ll up the ante a bit. I don’t expect to actually win the big prize, the odds are astronomical, and the odds of being the ONLY set of winning numbers (especially with this many people playing) are even worse. However the odds for the 2nd and 3rd place prizes are alot more reasonable, and you know what? Those far lower dollar amounts would pay off all my bills quite nicely and maybe even leave some left over to play around with.

QOTD
From Tam
One of my husband’s friends has three kids under the age of 12 (I think they’re all under 10 actually but I’ve never asked…). He WILL NOT allow them to read the Twilight books or see the movies till he’s sure they understand WHY he doesn’t like them, and he doesn’t understand why its GOOD that an adult (who just happens to be 100’s of years old) gets the less under 18yr old girl, not just to chase and flirt with, but actually GETS the girl in what is blatant date-rape. I’ve not seen the movies or read the books, so I didn’t have an answer for him, I have to admit that I’d assumed she was 18, and asked if she’d at least turned 18 before they got married in the last one. He said he wasn’t sure but didn’t think so…..
