Month: January 2006

The comment spammers are killing me. I can’t even begin to tell you what a low ring of hell is reserved for these people. They are the lowest of the low. So I guess I’m going to have to switch my commenting software, because I just can’t keep up with the comment spam any more, and every one comes in from a unique IP address, so I can’t even block them normally.

*sigh*

So for now, I guess I’m going to have to go with the stuff Blogger provides for free, until I can figure something else out. For those of you using that solution already, do you still get comment spam if you turn it on without the thing where you have to approve all comments?

That means that all the recent comments will be lost. For that, I am truly sorry. Your words of wisdom will live on in my heart.

George Bush wants to get his filthy stinking paws on the records of “our” Google searches….so my idea is to have everyone in the United States, no, the world, spend all day doing searches for things like “Bush is Hitler II” and “Bush is Eroding Your Civil Liberties” and “How does it feel to live in a police state?” and other helpful things. I’d like to get a copy of the final report if we could make this work.

Sure, our dog doesn’t shed, and his hair is so soft it makes Miss Clairol jealous, but look at what happens to him in the snow.

This doesn’t come off that easily, by the way. We have to submerge him in warm water to melt off the snowballs. Fun.

It’s a winter wonderland outside this morning. I’m willing to bet my cheese money that this is a classic “man, we blew it” storm. They were saying 2-6 inches yesterday, and even as late as 6 this morning. Well, I have news for them, there is 6 inches out there right now and it’s not supposed to stop until after dinner. And it’s that HEAVY stuff. School was cancelled and I was annoyed, because 2-6, what’s that over the course of 12 hours? Well, obviously it’s waaaay worse than that out there.

Mr. Dump’s commute was hellish. It took him an hour to get from Leominster to 495 on Route 2, and then another hour to get to the Chelmsford rest area, where he stopped to clean the windshield and unblock the washer spout thingies. While there he noticed the CBS4 truck doing a live traffic/weather report, and then reporter turned around and pointed at him and then waved, so he waved back while the camera was pointed at him with the light on. So Mr. Dump got to be on television this morning! Hey, it at least made the commute a teeny bit more interesting.

Christine, his commute was about as long as yours, but it was a much further drive, on highways. Ick ick ick, I guess I’m kind of glad I’m stuck at home with the boy, even if it means taking a hit in the paycheck. I don’t need a three hour commute each way.

Theo’s back on the payroll, and they didn’t shout it from the mountaintops! When I went to bed last night only redsoxsoul.com and bostondirtdogs were talking about it. Why? Because they didn’t make the announcement through the media, they just put notice up on redsox.com, and figured people could find out at their leisure. When Remdawg didn’t even have mention on his site, you know that’s a stealth announcement.

I have to say, this is very unlike the front office, the people who held a press conference after someone LEFT the team. This is the biggest news on Yawky way in weeks, maybe months, and they post it after hours and only on their own website.

I’m dying to hear what the unwashed masses are saying – I assume by the time I get to work work will be getting around.
