Taking the Dirty Work Out of Owning a Dog?

I'm in shock. I never dreamed there was such a service. Then, today as a matter of fact, I happened to be perusing the pets section on Craigslist, and I found this ad. There is actually a company that offers the service of cleaning up after your dog. No, really! I'm serious! I had to read it twice myself, then I actually had to go visit their website to see if it was a joke or if it was a real company.

As you may know, we have three big dogs and with big dogs comes big poop. Yep, I said it, poop. These dogs sh#t like its their darn job - and they do it with pride. (Come to think of it, maybe there's a dog union...but if there is, I guess we're doing ok, because none of them have stepped forward asking to have their wages increased or working conditions improved...then again, they don't do any work and they only get paid in bones...)

For the amazingly small fee of $25 a week, K9 Waste Management will come out to our house twice a week and clean up the dog poop. I think I must have died and gone to heaven. Now, how can we find $100 a month in our budget to pay for this...there simply has to be a way!

CLK430 Trials & Tribulations: Introduction

Okay, so I finally pulled the plug and bought a low mileage, 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK430. I'd been shopping for a fun convertible for a while with the romanticized image of top-down, wind-blowing summer fun.  I'd build a set of basic requirements to narrow the scope of my search - those criteria were: Four seats (there's three of us, and getting something that could only seat two seemed like asking for trouble from whoever would get left out) 2000 or newer, but I was really hoping for something newer than 2005 Reliability An active and established user base (forums, etc.) I won't bore you with all of the details, but the CLK430 met all of those, plus it only had 40k miles. So, my adventure begins...

Desktop TD 1.5 Addiction - In Full Force

Okay, I've been struggling with Desktop Tower Defense . I've been frustrated, I've been thrilled. As Debra says "its all about hopes and dreams, hopes and dreams." Well, quite frankly, I've had a lot of dreams about completing just the medium level. And up until today, they've been just that, dreams. I'm now please to say that I've graduduated. I've completed all 50 phases of the medium level! Hurray for me! (Lets face it, I'm sure you're not saying that, so let me have a little self-congratulatory praise for a minute...sheesh.) Although, even though I completed all the phases, my score still doesn't rival some of the board leaders. I'm a little confused...I only let 4 creeps through, yet my score is a couple of thousand less than the leaders. How is that possible? Can anyone clue me in? Anyway, I figured I'd share my maze with you, although - after looking at hundreds of other mazes, I've come to realize its less about ...

Addicted to Current TV

What can I say? I'm hooked. For the Current-virgins, Current TV is (as far as I can tell) a relatively new channel. (Or at least, I've never noticed it, which could be a distinct possibility as Tivo generally rules our household's television with an iron fist.) It unique broadcasting format is perfect for those of us with short attention spans who are turned off by network news that continually airs the same, biased stories in 10-15 minute rotation. Current TV airs 3-7 minute pods of content in constant rotation. I hardly ever see the same pod twice (thank the blessed stars!). The really neat thing is that the pods are user-created - they use the term viewer created content. It's almost a professional-version of YouTube. Anyone can create an upload pods, the everyone can vote on the pods to determine which of them will be aired. It's awesome! Want to see if your cable company offers Current TV?
