Coffin Chasers

Someone from Rose City Funeral Home left a message for one of my colleagues to ask if she knew anything about a memorial service for our recently deceased former colleague.  When my colleague returned the call and asked where the funeral home person had heard that, the person claimed it was “some neighbors.”  Both of [...]

A Love Letter to Hosting Matters

I have an amazing internet host.  This week I submitted a tech support ticket because I was over limit on my storage space.  Within minutes, Annette, their tech goddess who’s helped me through many problems over the years, sent me this:

. . . there’s a change that’s been made to your site, since you’ve been [...]

RX RANT

I haven’t even posted a rant lately. That tells you how lousy I’ve been feeling. So I must be getting better. I survived PSYCHO SAFEWAY‘s pharmacy.

Last week I had to pick up two prescriptions after an appointment. I normally go to the Safeway down the street, which always has a “homeless” [...]

Bike Angels

Last week the dropout on my bike broke near the rear wheel. A guy in full cycling plumage saw me walking it from the bus and asked if I needed help. I thanked him and told him I was almost home.  You don’t really see motorists helping anyone out these days . . [...]

Top Five Most Disturbing Commercials on TV

in no particular order . . .

Lights appear on the foreheads of various people in the neighborhood.  It looks like laser targets before the trigger’s pulled in a war, but surprise: it’s the check engine light.  (Can someone identify the company — I can’t remember)

Hilariously pathetic audio below.

For the past month or so, I’ve been getting quotes from lenders for a refinance.  The tax records say our house’s market value is 486k and we owe slightly more than 200k on it, plus we have a small second mortgage from OnPoint for our recent furnace installation.  Sadly, our first mortgage [...]

Some of you may remember my post about former XM Radio personality, Leigh Hamilton. I’m happy to say that the love you showed her in the comments brought her across blog street for a visit. I’m inviting her to the Penthouse immediately. Here’s what she had to say:

Leigh Hamilton on February 27th, [...]

Two More Talks With Orbitz

I’m fighting off a cold and simultaneously battling two airlines and Orbitz.  Actually, the person from Orbitz has been very nice, and has good information, but basically tells me all’s on Northwest Airlines, which seems believable.

So here’s an open sentence to Northwest Airlines: your Bangkok travel waiver is consumer-unfriendly, does not remotely come close to [...]
