TICKET STUB DIARY

Great organization tool

By Adrienne from Fremont, CA on 2/28/2010

Gift: No

Pros: Sturdy, Unique, Improves Organization

Cons: Smaller Than Expected

Best Uses: Organization

Describe Yourself: Quality Oriented

Primary use: Personal

I had ticket stubs from 20 years ago just stuffed in boxes all over the place. When I saw this product I was excited by the possibility of organizing what I had. It was so useful that I bought two more for family members. They love it as well.

Health Care Reform

Sat, 09 Jan 2010 04:53:41 +0000

I have no idea what will actually happen when, or if, health care reform is actually passed. I’m hearing polar opposite information. Either it’ll be totally devastating to everyone or it will save the middle class. As someone who is self-employed, old-ish with a precondition I’m worried. I’m so afraid to loose the expensive insurance I have right now that I keep paying even though it just goes up and up.

Uncertain times we live in. Not sure which way things will go. If you watch the opinion programs, left or right, the country is falling apart. But walking around, shopping, working, I don’t get that sense from the actual people I interact with. Strange dichotomy.

I need a really good, and reliable, website that breaks down the health care bills.

Lifestream

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:40:48 +0000

I’m bummed. Lifestream doesn’t work above 2.8.4. I tried to active it but I get this error:

Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Sigh.

Creepy

I twittered a rant about Comcast and they fucking replied! How creepy is that? They just troll twitter looking for complaints to reply to. Freakish.

Following the SOS

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 19:38:35 +0000

I love this blog. It’s a great way to follow everything Secretary Clinton is doing. They also twitter. Very cool.

I’m usually very put off by many of these social websites but I must admit to really liking twitter. I can put out innocuous tidbits without really feeling exposed. There are too many people just putting their entire lives online. I find it very creepy. Why such a need to be on display 24/7 to anyone and everyone?

Women’s Murder Club

Women's Murder Club

So I was bored the other night and just doing some surfing. Stumbled upon a great WMC fanfic site. Then I stumbled upon a couple of nice icon sites. Anyway, after all my stumbling I realized that I really liked that show and am kind of pissed off that they canceled it. There where a number of TV shows that couldn’t survive the writers strike and this was apparently one of them. Good FEMALE characters, good story and dialog…okay so they said the BART but I can forgive those little slips. We in NorCal just call it BART. Those SoCal’s do put ‘the’ in front of a lot of things. Like The 101. We just call it 101. Weird little idiosyncrasy there. Angie Harmon’s kids have strange names. Okay, maybe their names are kind of cute but they are also really similar. Hm, I didn’t make my 1pm work deadline. Such is life. Oh, lifehacker has a good article on how to Squeeze Every Last Dollar Out of Your Income Tax Return. There are some really good suggestions in the comments as well. Anyway…work time.

Getting rid of the paper

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 17:00:36 +0000

Interesting article in the new body+soul this month. Eco Challenge: Going Paperless. It has some good tips on how to stop junk mail and catalogs. To stop your junk catalogs head to catalogchoice.org. Looks like you have to enter your personal information but it seems to really work. For your junk mail, such as credit card applications 41pounds.org is recommended. This one costs money though. For $41 it covers you for 5 years.

I think I’m going to give it a try. We recycle and we get so much damn paper it’s unbelievable. If I can even stop 1/3 of it getting to me it would be a great help.
