Prepare to duck cause Patches O'Houlihan is getting ready to throw a wrench at you both!

BigDaddyKane messaged me on another site and said "the mods [on Cyclone Fanatic] are b******." I tweeted a screencap of the message to Cyclone Fanatic and they favorited it. Guess he won't be coming back anytime soon
Some day he'll learn that if you're on someone else's site, you have to play by their rules.
or maybe this:
dit tuh dit tuh dit, dit tuh dit tuh dit, dit tuh dit tuh dit, dit tuh dit tuh dit
dit tuh dit tuh dit, dit tuh dit tuh dit, dit tuh dit tuh dit, dit tuh dit tuh dit
dit tuh dit tuh dit, dit tuh dit tuh dit, dit tuh dit tuh dit, dit tuh dit tuh dit
(add additional harmony to each line...see if you get it...)
You're right. Drinking things like coffee/pop and eating things like donuts at 3 a.m. really hasn't helped.
At the risk of sounding like a whiny *****, and uptown problems and all that....I had 2 major things on my to-do list today.
First, thinking about switching phones, we do no-contract thru Virgin Mobile. $35 a month for unlimited talk/text and like 250Mb of data (which we rarely use). Cheap is nice, but it's on Sprint's network, and no-contract means no roaming, and with both on it, so there are times when we're travelling that we have no phone (*gasp, I know right, but with 2 kids, it's a nice emergency life line feel-good thing to have). Found a couple options...Total Wireless, which is on Verizon network for about $35 as well, and Cricket, which is on AT&T...I think it'd be $35 for the first line and $25 for the next. Kind of was leaning toward Cricket, but AT&T has a big old hole in coverage in NE IA/SW WI, which is one of the places we do/will travel to/thru regularly. Other than Minneapolis and Phoenix, that area is probably next in line for "yeah, we're gonna be there". OK, fine, back to Total (which had been the frontrunner for a while.) Called to find out what kind of phone I need to buy (they sell phones, but only up to S3 for Galaxy, but they do BYOD). Find out that while they're on Verizon's network...they only use the 3G network, not the 4G. So now IDK what the heck to do.
Second, we're planning on cutting cable soon, Mrs. 00clone needs her local channels, so I was going to get an outdoor antenna with a pre-amp and then distribute it from our utility room (where all the communication cables come to) thru the coax in our walls. I had seen a stub of coax on the outside of the house near where all the utilities come in, so I figured, cool...just put the antenna up on that side of the house, run a cable down to that, hook in, and that should run to the utility room and distribute from there. Yeah, except I'm not seeing where that cable actually comes into the utility room...it looks like it might just dead-end into the house somewhere in that wall near the breaker box. And, since we finished our basement about a year ago...it's all drywalled.
So yeah, pretty frustrating morning for me there...

I am on a coffee fast for a test at 1:00. We are talking NO COFFEE ALL MORNING HERE!
I hope I don't have to go job hunting anytime in the near future. If I have to try to compete with people 15 years younger than me that are much better skilled using social media, I am hosed.
I have a Linked In account, but I still haven't taken time to figure out the benefits of it. Hell, I don't even have my picture on it. All I know is that I occasionally get E-mails telling me that people I know added a skill. When my BIL (who's a vice-superintendent) showed up as having added "literacy" as a skill, I busted up laughing. I did a screen shot, e-mailed him back and said, "Way to go buddy. I knew you could do it."

I used mine strictly as an avenue for a place to apply for jobs. That's it.
It's April. We can lock interest rates soon. That's so weird. I remember when we were saying we'd have to wait 10 months to lock yet.
