My week from the depths of Mordor is over!
On a side note, my dog has had fleas ever since I brought him home from the groomer
It's been a fiasco trying to rid of them.  
I am trying every natural, holistic remedy in the book and diligently washing and cleaning everything.  
Wonder if my groomer knows she has a flea infestation in her business?  

Yes!  Let her know.  It's a favor to her, and she might even help with your flea-killing costs.  

When Milo had fleas, we did the following: Gave him a Confortis tablet from the vet's office (about $15 for a single dose, OK to take in addition to topical treatment, and kills fleas in *hours*).  Sprayed Knockout E.S. (also from vet's) on the carpet and furniture, waited, and vacuumed -- it kills fleas in all their growth stages.  And washed everything (blankets, dog toys, small rugs, drapes, towels -- whatever's come in contact with him or with the floor) in *hot* water. Hot kills the flea eggs.  Best of luck -- and don't get too frustrated; it's a process!

^Thanks for the insight! I will check into those

Got turned down for health insurance because I'm too fat.

^^^^^ Seriously, that's some kind of bullsh*t right there.

According to the BMI scale, I am super obese. I am on the low carb diet and have lost 10 pounds within the first month, but at this rate, it would be two years before they would accept me based on my weight.

That's illegal. Due to the new law, you can't be denied coverage due to health status or pre-existing conditions. ...Granted, the law doesn't go into full swing until 2014, but I'm pretty sure you could fight this one now.

You could fight it, but they're likely denying as many people as possible right now. Possibly to open a doorway to denying them down the line when the new laws take effect.

The law won't actually be enforced until 2014, but they would still argue that being overweight is not a pre-existing condition but rather a poor lifestyle choice--which in my case is the case.

ETA: It is currently illegal for companies to deny people under the age of 19 for pre-existing conditions--I'm 26.

learned a 5$ lesson today... always check your receipt before you leave the store to make sure its correct if you're doing something out of the normal. lost a little over 5$ in deductibles and didn't notice until 5-10 minutes after I left

There's a business here in Lincoln that I would love to see disappear, but I know it won't.

Is this a chain? I saw a commercial for something like that in NJ. But yeah, I see your point. Sheesh, the Hooters girls look modest in comparison. LOL

Cultural exploitation.

So my dumb Facebook is still not in my control since it has been created over a month ago by an evil group of my friends and family, and I need 200 "friends" to take control over it. So come on now people, help out a friend so this thing is at least under my control.

^^^I'm already friends with you on there. They really didn't dig too deep to get pictures for that profile. I think all of them are from here.

I must go to this place.

Actually, now that I think about it, a friend of mine worked at one of those.

Awwwww, thanks a bunch. I've only seen it twice, but I don't care for their ability to do whatever it is they want. Thank you for aiding the cause.

It's no different than Twin Peaks in Omaha.
The first girl's message on the home page made me cringe.

still waiting on feedback from the same seller.... I would drop them a message, kind of a little poke to let them know I'm still waiting but I don't know if their the kind of asshat that would screw me over for doing that.

WHY ARE NONE OF THESE PLACES AROUND HERE

Warum kann ich mich nicht deutsch erinnern?!

Company picnic was cancelled today because of the rainy weather. Grrrr. I had been planning on staying behind and using the time to catch up with my paperwork since no one would be around.  

Did NYC get hit with the same storm that kicked New Jersey's a$$ for 45 minutes of a torrential downpour? That badboy came out of nowhere with lightening bolts hitting like 50 feet from the side of the highway I was driving home on at 8:10am, it went from sunny & humid, to cloudy, to pitch black, into downpour; in all of 8 minutes, kooky stuff.

I hate you money. I always need more of you to stay in school/succeed in the US/move elsewhere/etc but you're never around.
