9:59:38 PM   It's bad enough the Blackhawks suck but I have to listen to mlife all over the place, from the car before the game, to the TV during the game and back to the radio as the PTV is recording the Ozman and it has only one tuner :-(   Got to get me a Tivo with 2 tuners.  Friggin' Cubs are on channel 26, what is the world coming to ?

9:57:05 PM   I guess the fact I remember it means it works ? turns out it's mlife.  They also have mMode.  Shouldn't it be mmode ?  I mean kRadio makes sense to me if you know k but who or what the hell is m ?  I guess it's supposed to be mobile ?  just what I want a mobile life and a mobile mode.

9:54:31 PM   I find myself reaching back to the Super Bowl to ask, what is an mlife ? or M Life ? or m Life ? you would think by now that they would fire the dipstick who came up with this.  Their still trying to sell this 3 months later and I still don't get it.

12:11:55 AM   Blustery days make soggy dogs.   Just in case you don't know the rules about soggy dogs, I'll repost them here: 1. Dogs are never permitted in the house. The dog stays outside in a specially built wooden compartment named, for very good reason, the dog house. 2. Okay, the dog can enter the house but only for short visits or if his own house is under renovation. 3. Okay, the dog can stay in the house on a permanent basis provided his dog house can be sold in a lawn sale to a rookie dog owner. 4. Inside the house, the dog is not allowed to run free and is confined to a comfortable but secure metal cage. 5. Okay, the cage becomes part of a two-for-one deal in the lawn sale, and the dog can go wherever the hell he pleases. 6. The dog is never allowed on the furniture. 7. Okay, the dog can get up on the old furniture but not the new furniture. 8. Okay, the dog can get up on the new furniture until it looks like the old furniture and then we'll sell the whole damn works and buy new furniture on which the dog will most definitely not be allowed. 9. The dog never sleeps on the bed. Period. 10. Okay, the dog can sleep at the foot of the bed only. 11. Okay, the dog can sleep alongside you, but he's not allowed under the covers. 12. Okay, the dog can sleep under the covers but not with his head on the pillow. 13. Okay, the dog can sleep alongside you, under the covers with his head on the pillow, but if he snores, he's got to leave the room. 14. Okay, the dog can sleep and snore and have nightmares in your bed, but he's not to come in and sleep on the couch in the TV room, where you're now sleeping. That's just not fair. 15. The dog never gets listed on the census questionnaire as "primary resident" even if it's true.
