Please be patient as I am experiencing technical difficulties. I will get things in order at my earliest convenience. I found out that the bulk of the problems with this software are happening to the windows users. I am not a huge fanatic when it comes to software or hardware but I know I won’t be buying a Mac anytime soon just to publish this nonsense.

Time to move on.

Give me a day or two to work out the inevitable kinks.

Vegas Rules the universe if you only stay one day. I am a big believer in this method and last night proved it. That town doesn’t allow you to go half strength for multiple days. You hit the ground running with the throttle wide open. I have to say that the new improved pool at the Hard Rock is spectacular. Even though I could only stand one hour of the pace that we set on the island bar. The rest of the evening was a blur but I remember pretending to be Jordy’s bodyguard when he had forty plus thousand dollars on the table. The odds caught up to him but by the time we left today he was still having problems closing his wallet. The best thing I can say about our Vegas shop is that is a tax deductible excuse to visit the hotel and neon forest.

My head still hurts.

Gear up for some technical difficulties because I have had it with this current situation and will be taking my toys and stomping off to a new host. Things always get kinky during a move so consider yourselves warned.

Speaking of moves, Liza has begun stage one of her “holy shit there’s too much to get done” freak out. I am officially moving our family alert level from blue to yellow. The kids won’t be happy if I have to make the move to orange in this heat. Those hazmat suits don’t breathe very well.

News that Rules!

Congratulations Denise on finally finding the right guy! Obviously she found a way to genetically change some of Steve’s major faults so she didn’t have to “settle”.

Yes, Steve and Denise are engaged and I am clapping and laughing like a happy Herman Munster. This is the best move these two could make because with Tim and Christy still holding strong at sixteen plus years they had no real shot at the overall uncommitted couple championship.

There are weddings that you want to attend in varying degrees and every so often one comes along that just can’t be missed. This is a MUST attend! There are even rumors that my online ministerial license will have to be up to date. This is going to be great! Did I ever tell you guys that Denise once threatened to have me killed? This is going to be great! Does anyone know where I could order some double extra large flame proof vestments?

Birthday party at the Tessler estate yesterday was fun and yours truly drank enough to ride home as a passenger. I am in no shape today to change all of this crap over to new software and a new server. This is going to have to wait until I get some answers back from the places I’m shopping. I think I am going to have to raise the investment ceiling on stupidtom once again. It was a big change going from $9 to $39 for this software but you definitely get what you pay for. I know there are cheaper solutions out there but the have a steeper learning curve. I think I’ll pay for hosting space again and figure the software end out this week. The kids want to go out into the hundred and ten degree heat to swim. HEAT + HANGOVER = lingering limp of gorge in the back of the throat. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. I don’t think I ate anything big enough last night for the pool filter to worry about.

I am still trying to get some consistent posting so get ready for a weekend of random quotes. Let’s start out with one of my own attempts shall we?

Life is filled with purchased disappointment. ~me

I had this whole second part ready about paying to be insulted or ignored by customer service personnel but I kept ending it with things about heinous ways to injure people. One of my favorites involved running one of their smug tongues through a Fuzzy Pumper Barber Shop.

This is reaching epic annoyance proportions and I have to make some kind of move this weekend. I am spending way too much time worrying about mechanics and its constipating my venting. A pox on Radio Userland.

At the risk of jinxing anything today hasn’t started out like my normal slice of crap cake. I am still completely annoyed by the software I’m using to publish this nonsense but the bulk of the problems are livable until I find a better solution. I am really pissed that no one at this company seems to care about these little problems. I am not the only one out there with a tweaked site and the complaint bulletin board is filling up fast. Not getting the courtesy “we know things are screwed up please bear with us” message is infuriating. I do like the fact that the times are all whacked out. It’s currently 5:20am and I should be sending this thing out into the either in five minutes or so. The posting times have taken as long as twelve hours to show up. Enough behind the scenes stuff, I think technology Friday is canceled for the next few weeks.

I have a new curiosity and I have to go talk to them but the sun is actually touching parts of this town. It seems that our fine neighborhood down here by the shop has been blessed by a migrating herd of transvestites. My favorite is the obvious alpha male because he has had exactly half the procedures required to make him a her. I know this because his uniform of choice is a boob tube to show off his overly big fake breasts and his too too mini skirt. As the observing researcher I named the skirt that way because it allows me to see his entire package hanging down into his pantyhose. Nothing says good morning like a dude scratching his wig in the heat while exposing his boys all dressed up for a convenience store robbery. I’m going to miss this hood.
