IDIOTS

Be Careful Out There:

IDIOT SIGHTING:
We had to have the garage door repaired.. The Sears repairman told us that
one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the
opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears
made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you
need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said,
'NO, it's not.' Four is larger than two...' We haven't used Sears repair
since.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the
clerk a $5 bill.. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She
said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you
can just give me a dollar bill back.' She sighed and went to get the
manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back
the quarter , and said 'We're sorry but they could not do that kind of
thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.

IDIOT SIGHTING :
I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local
township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING
sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out here!
I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.' From
Kingman , KS .

IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE :
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the
person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.' He said he was sorry, but
they only had iceburg lettuce.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee
asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage with out your knowledge?'
To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?' He
smiled knowingly and nodded, "That's why we ask . . ."
Happened in Birmingham , Ala.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was
crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I
knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when
the light is red... Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people
doing driving?!' She was a probation officer in Wichita , KS

IDIOT SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker. She was leaving the
company due to 'downsizing.' Our manager commented cheerfully, 'This is fun.
We should do this more often.' Not another word was spoken... We all just
looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare. This was a
lunch at Texas Instruments...

IDIOT SIGHTING :
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and
for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn
on.A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs office, no less.

IDIOT SIGHTING
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our
car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the service
department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver side
door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door
handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the
technician, 'its open!' His reply, 'I know. I already got that side.' This
was at the Ford dealership in Canton , MS

STAY ALERT!
They walk among us... And the scary part is that they
VOTE and they REPRODUCE

philosophy

Mayonnaise Jar & Two Beers

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly.

The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.

Of course, the sand filled up everything else.

He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'
The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand.

The students laughed..

Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---
and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Spend time with your children.

Spend time with your parents.

Visit with grandparents.

Take time to get medical checkups.

Take your spouse out to dinner.

Play another 18.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter.
Set your priorities.

The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented.

The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'

The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

Please share this with someone you care about. I JUST DID!

LIFE ISN'T ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS... IT'S LEARNING HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN !

Current mood: lazy
so about that nick came over and we were drinking good times, we both got pretty drunk then drove around (no it was a video game) in NFS most wanted and tryed and tryed to beat this race but it took both of us like 30 minutes. Anyway Today nothing is going on going to Dans in a little to help him with stuff then nothing until tonight when there is poker on the horizon. well i shall leave you with this a mildy funny joke my dad sent me:

An East Texas couple, both bonified rednecks, had 9 children. They went to
the doctor to see about getting the husband "fixed". The doctor asked them
why, after 9 children, would they choose to do this. The husband replied
that they had read in a recent article that 1 out of every 10 children being
born in North America was Mexican, and they didn't want a Mexican baby
because neither of them could speak Spanish.

timberwolves

so I went to the T wolves game tonight, won tickets from work witch is pretty cool. Amy went with me and we had a good time. They lost with like .6 seconds left on the clock and that was lame but it was fun to go its been a really long time since i have been to see them. Crunch caught some dude picking his nose on the crunch cam that was really funny, i don't think i have hurd that many people laugh at the same time. Getting back to the car was a little difficult because some jack-hole decided to close off the skyway that went back to the parking garage that we were parked in, so we ended up walking around minneapolis finding a diff enterance to this place.. well we didnt find out so we dicided to throw caution to the wind and ran up the entrance ramp that is be only for cars, got yelled at by a security renta pig for that one... and got lost sortof on the way to 394 but it was a rather enjoyable night..

Current mood: chipper
yesterday was interesting, Catherine and I took the day off so that we could go apple picking... We find this really food orchard in lakeville, MN we drive 45 minutes to get there and it was closed. So we were like shit so were driving home and decided to stop at the burnsville perkins for something to eat. we get there and drive in the parking lot and there was this short bus that wasa blocking this ladys view and she drive right in to the side of the pontiac.. hit the rear drivers door so its all scrapped to shit. we waited like 30 minutes for the cop to show up, yay for burnsville. So we finally get to eat and then go home, we make an appointment to take the car to pontiac to get an estamate. we go and theres 2200+ dollars worth of damage from a less then 10 mph hit from a deville. so we were driving back and like 3 other cars and there stupid drivers were swerving in and out of lanes of traffic and almost hit us as well. we were driving to MOA and something fell off one of the over hang signs and hit the front of the pontiac but didnt do anything.. yesterday was a very interesting day in the car indeed.. well lesson learn.. I guess we need not to start the day out with apple picking anymore.. or its just my bad luck we shall see how today goes.

OMG fire!
Current mood: amused
So there was a fire at work today, that was interesting. So I am talking to this very nice lady about how all three of her beds (twin, half a double, and half a queen) all started to leak at the same time. I was thinking to myself, man I really wish I was not on this call. 30 seconds later the fire alarm goes off and I am like WTF . So ussually when the fire alarm goes off its just a drill, and we dont leave the building in a drill becuase we are on the phone. Then julie (the not so nice receptionist) comes on the intercom, "this is not a drill please evacuate the building" I was like well mrs really nice lady, there is a fire in the building and i have to go. She was like OMG good luck and hung up. So we go out side and sit there for a while, every body comes out of the building and is waiting in the grass next to the parking lot. Amy, Catherine, Brian williams and myself are standing there thinking is there really a fire then the answer comes. Yes 2 fire trucks and 4-5 police cars come and the firemen are all in there suits and whatnot. go in the building while one stays behind to undo hoses just incase. So we are out side for like 15 minutes then the firemen start to come back out and we wait some more then they say we can go back in. Well when we get in there they quite haven't figured out how to turn off the fire alarms yet.. believe me it is near impossible to talk to someone on teh phone when the fire alarms are going off.. So they decide that we can go back out side until they figure out how to turn them off.. By this point Brian and I are like screw this lets go and get some damn tacos.. So we leave and go to Taco Bell.. By the time that we get back the alarms are off ande back to normal. This also made the rest of the day go by very fast! Yay for a interesting day at work.

Oh and last night there were these two girls out side the front door of the apartment building at like 1am yelling at each other that was entertaining aswell expectally when 2 police cars came to break it up!

Other than that nothing really is happening same ole same ole ya know?

Camping
Current mood: refreshed

So last weekend was awesome, Catherine and I went to Baker Park and went camping.. It was a pretty relaxing weekend the only thing i would have changed was i would have liked to have a little more shade.. thus resulting in minor sunburns. but oh well... Zoe came along with and we pretty much gave her some swimming lessons aka i threw her off the end of a dock a couple times and she swam to shore! That was very entertaining. Also there were these people that were camping to the left of us and had two siberian huskies that liked to bark at 3 in the morning *shakes fist* damn them. and it took the people to the right about 45 minutes to set up there 2 person tent. the only reason thats funny to me is that Catherine and I set up our tent that is sposed to sleep 6 in about 15 minutes. mind you it was only out second time setting up the tent ever...

Oh and when we got home we got out of the car and in the garage was a leather couch.. we got in the elevator and the lady that put it there was like yeah i'm getting rid of that.. catherine and i look at each other and were like "its ours now" so we got rid of our crappy couch and got a free leather couch.. i repeat free. Given that its not in the best shape, they had a dog and you can tell.. but i really don't care becuase its not we have a lot of money in it.. LOL. anyway, i am at work since 7:30 this morning and Catherine is out on a ride-along with the home delivery tech for mpls so that should be interesting for her... but i spose this blog is getting kinda long for my taste so i will end it here.

Our Cars Hate Me
So yeah, the title pretty much says it all. It all started last tuesday, we were out for dinner with kevin. Everything was fine, then when i went to leave got from catherine parents house to hwy 10 and main in anoka and the buick died. Wouldn't start back up at all!! Left it for a while on the side of the road, went back to catherines parents house to figure out what to do. Called my dad and he ended up coming down to anoka to pull the buick back to catherines parents house with the santa fe. Were it would wait until morning when we would then have it towed to the mechanic to get fixed. So everything was fine. Turns out the ignition switch was bad so the car was not getting any spark. That was totaly opposite what i thought i thought that the feul pump was bad and that there was no gas at the engine. So they fix it. We pick it up and i drive it. WOW it was like driving a new car. Until i get almost home, 494 and rockford, and getting off the hwy on the exit ramp it dies again. i get stopped on the side of the road turn the key off and then it starts back up again. Weird, but then it does it agian when i get off fernbrook on the 34th. So I called the mechanic the next day and we were going to bring it back to have him look at it. that was thursday night. It still has not made it back to the shop.

Thats because on friday night when we were going to go and drop it off, when i got off work, we were going to go out and get a bite to eat. when we pull out of the garage in the pontiac the low coolant light came on! I thought oh great, what now. So we turn around and I don't know why but i didn't see the huge puddle under were the pontiac was parked in the garage. So I get to looking and start it back up and there is a steady stream of coolant coming out of the water pump when it was running. Great the freaking pump is leaking. So what eves that not a big deal, changed a bunch of those before. So the next day we get up go to napa and get the parts I go back and replace the pump. I notice when i was looking at the car to see whats up that the serpintine belt was in really bad shape and is going to need to be replaced really soon. So we get one when we are at napa. The waterpump replacement went really smooth, one of the easiest things that i have had to so with catherines car as of late. Went to bed and woke up and had to go to work today, well yesterday. Driving to work and we turn on to trenton off basslake and the damn belt snaps. i quickly turn off the engine and we coast to a stop. We push the car to near by parking lot and walk the rest of the way to work. So after work, sonja takes us home and George and Sara came over and Catherine and Sara went to cub and George drove me over to fix the belt. So this belt is the stupidest thing on the face of the planet and if I ever meet the person that decided to put the engine mount in the middle of the belt so you have to take that off to change it, I will kick them in the nuts!!! Anyway so we jack the front end of the car up then loosen up the motor mount, then have to jack the engine from undernieght to prevent it from falling to the ground. George ends up getting the belt off while i was adjusting the engine hieght, then we get it all back together and everything is fine with that. Ran great all the way home. BUT WHATS NEXT??

So anyway new topic. I asked kevin and George to be groomsmen in our wedding and both said yes, so excited about this. Now just the Best Man and I am set. Then planning for Tuxedo fittings and drinking or whatnot since kevin is not 21.

Well I am tired, time to go to bed, I just really needed to rant about all my problems with the cars..

mustang
Current mood: excited
I recently restarted a an old progect of mine, with my car the ole 4cyl mustang. ok so heres the low down on that. 1992 notchback mustang, with a 2.3 I4 N/A (for now) with 105bhp and 125 torque. Body is in pretty decent shape, some of the plans that i have for this car at the moment would be to change the exhaust system out. I am going to be running a pacesetter long tube header, magnaflow high flow cataylic converter, and a flowmaster delta flow 40 series muffler. Piece together a custom cold air intake. If i feel up to it, install the 65mm throttle body and the ported intake manifold that i have had for about 3 years now. I should be sitting at about 160 bhp and 180 torque, hopefully and then it will not be so horribly slow :). So i guess not that many people are going to read this and understand what i just said, so more along the lines documenting my plans and also asking if anybody has any ideas for exterior things that i should do. I do have a set of stock GT pony rims they are 16" witch is an upgrade from the 14's that are on it now, but they need tires. So I am open to any ideas that you guys have.. thanks

New work status

I quit my job at HomeSmart from Xcel Energy. The reason behind that is that NAP (Network Access Products) that was my part time nights job. Offered to bring me on full time. I didn't want to leave Xcel mostly because the people are great. But it was time for me to get on with my life. I wouldn't be going anywhere there (more than likely). I had been a temp for just over a year with no hiring me on in sight. So when NAP offered full time with holiday pay, vacation, and benefits. Also a 25% raise in pay. How could I say no. Catherine and I also really want a house. This change in my work will also get us there. Oh and its only a 7-10 minute drive to work. YAY to that. After I interviewed for this NAP position. It snowed pretty bad and one morning it took me 1.5 hours to get to Saint Paul for work. I will def not miss that. :p

So were house hunting now that I have a permanent position with NAP. I will keep you all posted on that as it unfolds.
